I'll monitor my account daily so this incident will never happen again.
Ah, no need to do that, just set a strong and secured password with good combination and you're good to go.

Its good to see that the account has been cleared. Now I've been thinking on what the hell is that cryptohopper, also about how did the prick got the account for himself. With marlboroza's link, it helped us to classify whether if it is hacked or sold.

Signed Messages really helps in the times like this. Too bad I don't have one except for my MEW.

Hi @zenrol28, since you have changed the password and gained full control of your account along with the proof through a signed message. You can message Baofeng, bL4nkcode and asu to remove the trust ratings they left. They may have not seen the new developments in the thread.

I am also going to leave a small note in the OP showing that your account was compromised at the time it posted phishing links.
Yeah thanks.  Smiley
Sorry for my late reply, i just woke up and now preparing for work again.
That's my daily routine (no rest days). Cheesy

Maybe they're still asleep.

I'll monitor my account daily so this incident will never happen again.

Good day.  Smiley

Tonight, just got home from a 10 hours of food delivery service.
I am confirming that someone got into my account and created threads with a phishing site linked in it.
I have no idea how they got my account password.
Apologies for the trouble.
I changed my password right away when someone messaged me IRL.
Thanks a lot.
Also to those who tagged my account so everyone would be warned.
Thank you all.
Sincerely,
zenrol28

I somewhat know the owner of zenrol28 personally, As far as I know the owner is quite too busy on his day job (though I won't say what his job, but it really is a hard one and taking his time a lot) and doesn't even have the time to do an activoty here on the forum, I still have some contact to him and will message him later on. This is a hacked account just like what bl4nkcode has said, for the owner is also a hater of scam projects and phishing links.

My greatest condolonces for the account. Its truly such a waste to see this account getting involved on something like that.
Since the hacker hasn't changed login details yet, the account hasn't yet been put to a waste.
Message him as soon as possible so that he can secure his account quickly before the hacker decides to change the email and password which can make account recovery a little hectic.
I already sent a message to him, he's reply was:
Quote
Di masyado. Hanggang browse lang ako.

Translate:
Quote
Not so much. I only get to browse.

Then I told him to check his account if he can still open it... I will update here later or I may simply ask him to make an update here. The last activity from him was on December, so it really is questionable to see an account posting such phishing links after they comeback.

Edit: Currently talking to the owner... he will post here soon together with a signed message. He isn't aware and this could be really troublesome for him.I just hope his wallets are safe for he is also a Hodler.

I agree with what's said above, in fact, the people behind this were here just a month ago but with a different domain. More information:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptohoppecom-scamphishing-5211643

There are a few sockpuppet accounts vouching for this phishing website that needs to be tagged as well. For example:


I just download and I'm going to test them out. So far I gotta say this is pretty cool. I'm thinking it's going to save me a lot of time.

I'm really liking it. It's been giving me about 3-4,5% daily on automatic trading, and good for noobs

According to Urlscan.io the website in question is flagged as Malicious (Google Safe Browsing)

but the thing is the account doesn't have any recent change of password or email.

Probably the hacker think his smart not to change the password, so that it will not be so obvious not to think that the account has been hacked and compromised.

A 100% phishing website.

But the account seems hacked and compromised, but the thing is the account doesn't have any recent change of password or email.

Tagged the account.
