My account was hacked. Either the hacker knew my password and logged in or hijacked my session. Either way I have changed my password an hour ago. I'm working on getting this resolved.

I'm sorry for the victim here. I doubt you will recover your funds.

Anyone that knows me knows that I never asked for money/loans and never will, especially one so small, which makes no sense.

Fortunately, this can be easily solved.
bitmarket.io is the correct account. Meaning, the posts were not from a similar or squatted account.
What makes this easy is that it's a very low amount. The scammer was stupid enough to only ask for $75.

If it were me, I would just pay off the amount and save face (even on both loans and even though the second one was not asked for).

It's clear the password was changed after the fact (likely when bitmarket.io figured out something was wrong. So, that scammer likely had the PW. Less likely the session was hijacked.
bitmarket.io - tell us the password; I mean, you're not going to use it anymore. Right?
- time to go through your password list and see where else you used the password, cause you don't use the password for all sites, right?

IPs tell almost nothing, it wouldn't be to hard for you to fake that via VPN/TOR/whatever.
(Not saying that you did, I believe you to a point, but hell, stop digging your own grave here.)

Right, but you know that the scam-->"hacked!" scenario is one we've seen over and over here, and it's worn thin. Not straight up calling you a liar, but it's definitely suspicious. People who've been trusted here have done this.

I have left a negative trust that will remain until the lenders recover their money.

If $75 are small for you they are pretty big to me, could you please send back my money to my address: 1BeyxTH4JP4TYB1WUmu1XvPYhw6QTbep4L ?
Can you sign a message to prove that you still own your account?

bitmarket.io is online and watching this thread:

P.S I think that i should contact those that have left positive feedback to bitmarket.io and maybe they can help me to reach the real owner of the account(if it is hacked).

Sorry to hear about this. People are quick to loan to Hero and Legendary members so they rush to accept the loan request without asking for a signed message or collateral or whatever. I did it myself and got burned. Trust no one on this forum.

Regardless of if the hack was fake or not, I would say that bitmarket.io should repay both his lenders as it was his account that requested the loan and he is the one who is responsible for maintaining the security of his account.

While I think (and would like to point out that) it was careless to give out a no collateral loan without requesting a signed message (and even more to give one out in private messages, while not really knowing the borrower, like the other guy did), I have to agree with QS here, it would be best for bitmarket.io to repair the damage done with their account and repay both lenders.

I think Traderbit should have asked for signed message. However Traderbit is the victim here, I think it should be repaid in a way, but I think it is also u fair to let someone repay 150$(2 loans). This will be a expensive lesson for either the lenders or the hacked person(real bitmarket.io).

question to @traderbit and @ThirstyMoon, Guys, where are you sane mind?
sarcastic, but you forcibly casting your money to scammer. I have not seen you in lending section before. What prompted you to do so?
To lend need some knowledge also...

I have few posts in lending section, recently i have gave a loan of $5 to kozan and got paid within a week (even though there was a delay), i check regularly when i have time that section and i know how deals goes but i made a big mistake by not requiring a signed message,(even though i signed my post through my PGP key)

I don't know what is happening but let's wait from bitmarket.io to respond if he really was hacked or the hacker has still access to that account. I know that i have made a mistake by not asking for a signed message, can't believe how i didn't asked for it.

I have a feeling that i have been scammed, should DT members do something in this case?

Sounds alot like you indeed were.
Went ahead and left a (temporary) negative feedback on the account, posting here to keep track of the discussion.
Let's see how this one plays out.

He just reset his password at: 9:24:34 PM, so this my account got hacked is fake.
After getting the loan his account password changed, he is busted.

Maybe that password reset was to lock the hacker out of his account, not to "fake a hack".

Yes indeed, the hacker on purpose did not change the password since he wanted to scam people, and when a password changes and then asks a loan, it is obviously without a signed message that a scam will happen.

Traderbit, do not lend witout signed message.

U should have asked for a signed message before sending the loan.

I know, this was my mistake, but don't know how i trusted him. I checked the seclog if the password was changed the last 30days but couldn't find anything.
