My passwords have not changed for more than 2-3 years, I have discussed this with my friends as well for these cases. The possibility for my case is by:
- Reused password.
- The password getting leaked due reused password.
- Saved password (google) getting leaked (my friend says).
I have not done anything regarding bitcointalk and discussions with strangers for the past month.
Based on the hacker requesting a loan, seems like they're overview activity from the original owner. I checked my Bitcointalk IP, I have 4 activities and the first one on (18th December). at that time I still had a loan of around 300$ with shasan, I and him have a successful loan with 7-10+ of course with the same address.
I finished my loan more early, paid all back on 30th December. Then, the hacker had activity yesterday 3-4x times and requested a loan with the 300$ (the most amount can pay, around 300-400$) mark.
Luckily shansan knew the address differently and rejected the loan.
IP Log from My Account
Yesterday
18th December (First Activity)
I change my password after these 2x time to make sure + add my account with 2FA as well.
I looked at examples you posted and I would not fully trust what those members are saying.
Exactly. Just because someone claims their account was hacked doesnt mean its true. That tjtonmoy character looks particularly suspicious. He has a history of lying and cheating in contests and bounties. I do not believe in his story.

I have shared non-blurred ip address screenshot with shasan too... If you want to know then you can ask him.
With all respect but this is on you both and not anyone else.This can easy be changed by using a VPN so what I see is two users trying to fool people that they didn't do it. and ALSO This is so easy to fake and I could do it in less then 10 minutes in paint.
With that said I don't say you're lying but its for sure YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, YOUR ACCOUNT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE IT SECURE! I just saying posting this and call it proofs is just bullshit and not any proof at all.
Scammers always do this, using fake slip and things I have no idea how many times same thing happen me o when I see this I only think negative and trust your less.
But even if it wasn't you that took the loan it's still your account and your responsibility. Often in this cases it's someone close to you that did this (if it wasn't you) a hacker don't just log in with your password, someone have stolen it because you have been careless or trusted wrong person. In my opinion this is on you and nobody else. So this is not even something to discuss, take your damn responsibility.
Notice: I don't say you're are lying or are a scammer. I just pointing out real proofs. What you posted is not proofs at all and If you would be more careful this would never happen. So conclusion? It's YOUR FAULT.
So pay back the money, take the loss as a human, and learn from the mistake and be more careful in the future and come back stronger. We are not kids here.
Example: If you visit a website that is unsafe and they steal your information and steal your login information to Bitcointalk and then take a loan, then it's your fault and nobody else's. You both need to be smarter and more careful.
And yes, I feel sorry for you both. I understand this sucks big big time, but it's nothing else to do then pay back and after that move on. It's called life.
And also @Sashan I see some people say you should ask for signed message, I don't know how that works but if that can make a end of this shit, you should start using that, its a win/win for everyone but most important for you! Or just stop lend out money to dishonest cunts. I feel sorry for you and I hope you recover, I hate when nice people like you get used by poor cunts that are to lazy to earn their own money. Stay strong! 🙏
EDIT: Now ryzaadit explained the situation and thank you for that ryzaadit I apologize if I was to fast to post but I just wanted to be as clear as possible but still. Your account your responsibility
Good Peanutstar paid back the money, that shows he is a human that know how to behave respect to you Peanutstar! Also good that the "scammer" did not success to get a loan from your account ryzaadit.
My message was nothing personal to anyone of you, I just wanted to point out the word "responsibility".
But also, this is your words even that I believe you now it could also be a possibility that you tried to use another address and that Peanutstar regret the scam attempt and paid back instead, right?
But I don't think so for now, now I trust you and what you just said, it sounds logic. I just saying it could be a possibility. How ever, thank you for explaining and have a good week.
And for what it's worth after you explained as I said previous I trust what you just said it sounds logic and honest IMO.
But if this (Sign-Message) can pretend this, why not always do this before pay out a loan? or maybe it does not work anyway? or maybe he do it all the time? As I understand if you use same address no need to do it, but if you use a new address or loan for the first time this is or at least should be number one rule?
