Re: Hundreds of thousand of bitcointalk accounts hacked
So now all can see, yet can do nothing.
The numbers are too vast for members to log/avoid/be wary of, and will clearly overrun the forum should they not be locked by default. It should be clear by now how easy it is to identify these accounts, and locking could easily be automated.
Does anyone else think admin should let us know their plan of action, if they have a plan of action. Or is it up to members to log and tag 100,000 accounts one by one, which is basically impossible without admin assistance.

It just feels like too little too late. I’m sure there are days with way more than 237 accounts that are waking up (aka: hacked) so how the hell are we ever supposed to catch up to them and tag 200+ accounts a day with no automation? It’s impossible for us. I don’t know about you but I can’t go through the seclog and manually tag thousands of accounts a day to catch up to a never ending stream of hacked accounts. You just know the hackers squeal with glee when they hack a high ranked account or better yet an account with green trust so they can scam. I highly doubt all of these accounts would be used to spam, Maybe some to shill but I’d have to assume you’d just create thousands of accounts rather than try to hack thousands of accounts for that.
What’s going to happen when bitcointalk reaches it’s 1 million member? Congratulations on 950,000 hacked accounts + 50,000 legit ones. Seems a lot like how the Chinese were trading bitcoins and fiat back and forth with no fees to show a huge volume on their exchanges. What to do now…

In my post on last page i exampled accounts logging-in in rota on Feb 19. I assume this was their “wake up” If you take my random samples as an average, around 3000 accounts “woke up” on that day, all between u=0 and u=10,000. i have previously posted instructions on how admin can preserve all necessary evidence for all time, or prove themselves negligent. so admin should know the real figures and dates. What other internet site would not even respond to “concerned” members on such a relevant topic.
What to do now? Like you said, not much we can do unaided. Am i supposed to just STFU, again?
Chris, you seem like a genuine, seemingly rational individual. Why would admin not even respond, yet have time to start a thread about how many hits their farmed/hacked accounts are shilling on their list of scam coins?

I would argue that the “wake up” is actually useless and a ‘fake’ gesture. It doesn’t do anything besides confirming what we already knew; it doesn’t help the admins either as it is trivial for them to detect this.

What did they tell you the last time, ‘find a new hobby’ or something?

So when was this data breach? I think I changed my password like a year ago or so, do I need to change it again?

*Adjusts tinfoil hat* I am seemly rational aren’t I?
I don’t know. I just don’t understand it. I’m looking into that post you mentioned now to understand the context of your post.

2015 so you should be fine.

Have you noticed the growing number of hacked accounts reported?
The hacker is asking fubly for bitcoin to return his account, saying he bought the account for twice the price he is asking from fubly, here
Where else have i seen that happen recently, oh yes, GreenBits account here,
Or ashapasa’s account, turned into a slave account alongside nine other hacked accounts i identified here. (all wearing same sig, getting paid?)
One of those accounts is getting fake credibility here,
I even had a hacked account, JohnybBigs, troll me, giving trust to Lauda and Timelord2067 to endear itself to those members, hell, even the OP of that thread is probably hacked here
Thousands of accounts appear to have been hacked recently. Admin will know the true figure, i assume. You can see for yourselves. Click on this member, see the last active march 1st 2017. Then click on u=9012, 9013, 9014,….. Try any u=number under 100000. More explanation here,
This hack has been anticipated for a while now, do admin have a planned response? Are admin doing anything about this problem?
OMG this is really serious problem and need to be attended. I guess they must add additional security here. example 4 combination of numbers to avoid hacking of account
