I remembered when I saw your topic Hiring Telegram Managers and I contacted you via Telegram.

It is since late of May and you almost inactive since May. What happened recent weeks?

I need to change the staked address as that one is compromised during the April hack that I mentioned above.

you should definitely confirm ownership of the account by signing a message on one of your oldest addresses used here on the forum. I guess not all of them is compromised and only you have access to them.

Your oldest (used 11 April 2013) 1C5voy2et9odzmocDxirb4S6GrTJ6MeqsW here
Or 3JHJKATezUpeGs9JeobzY7U2Fo6iybZ6yL which you used (in 2018) to apply in signature campaigns. here, here, here

I already have a strong password. Always did.

the reason is that it must be determined that you are the original owner of the account. But obviously is not enough strong.

So a guy I do not know sent me a message on Telegram saying that someone is trying to sell my account.

Is it possible that some random individual messaged you on Telegram about selling your account? How? How did the account selling bot warn you on telegram if you don't have a telegram ID on your profile? And how did he know you weren't the one attempting to sell the account?

He has not revealed the name of the user.
Cause it never existed. Smiley

My email was hacked in April when I lost some significant amount of money, I'm suspecting this is probably a result of that.

How did you get access to the account today and reset the password without your mail? You lost access to your mail in April, and your password was reset last month. I don't believe your theatrics; pay off your debt and stop acting like a victim.

How did you log in of their was a password change?

He reset the password today. The bigger question is - like LoyceV mentioned - how did the "hacker" access the account without resetting the password, and why did the presumably real legendster needed to reset it if...

I already have a strong password. Always did.

Even if your staked address is “compromised” you should still be able to sign it..
Sign it and stake a new address if this is true..

How do we know the hacker/buyer isn’t making this whole story up as if he were the real legendster?

Is there anything in your PM or outbox? Of course that could have been deleted so you can't know for sure.

I assume you're the one who reset it, but doesn't that mean the attacker must have entered your old password in order to change it?

Based on legenster's weird-ass accusation against Maidak, which he posted after he created this thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wtf-maidak-5359785

There is a non-negligible chance that he tried to scam Maidak and is now trying to pretend that he was hacked.

I just checked BPIP and indeed there was a password reset last month. I don't know how this happened.
Actually, the reset was today, a month ago it was only "changed":
Code:
8/18/2021 2:27:22 PM password changed
9/13/2021 3:53:45 PM password reset via email

I assume you're the one who reset it, but doesn't that mean the attacker must have entered your old password in order to change it?
Any chance you can sign a message from an old staked address?

You are quite lucky that the hacker didn't completely lock you out of your account by changing your email address after the password change or use it to scam unsuspecting members.

Try to keep your email address very secure. 2FA should be a must. Once your email address is compromised. Every account linked to it including exchange accounts could easily be accessed by the hacker through password resets.

If you have already staked your address, it will also really be helpful if you can still sign a message with the address staked. You may know this, but just saying.

That doesn't sound good. But the warning/info here was certainly not a mistake.

I don't have any merits to give you but I would if I had. Thank you.

I'm making this post here just as a warning to let everyone know, I do not intend to sell my account, EVER! Even if I die, this account will die with me.
