While looking through the Archival sub board (this is a good place to look for things that people are trying to hide) I noticed two threads that were started by Vod, MTGOX lost Bitcoins found by a Japan researcher and Bitcoin next bubble? to 2500$?. Both threads have been edited to indicate that malware (link) was removed, the first one by our Legendary administrator BadBear(v2.0) and one by Vod.

Both threads were created on November 6th, and per the Password reset/change log Vod's password was changed on November 7th at 4:53 AM and then reset via email at 5:01 AM the same day.

My first question is, was Vod's account hacked, and if so has he recovered access to it and if so can he prove it via a signed bitcoin/PGP message?

I would also suggest that a feature be implemented that someone is not able to post a link when their password has recently been reset (perhaps within the last 12 hours) as this is when an account is most likely o have been compromised. While it appears that Vod was probably the victim of either a MITM, and/or phishing attack (or maybe someone was able to get lucky and correctly "guess" his password) and/or some other similar attack and would not apply in this specific case, I still think it would help prevent malware from being spread around.
