Roll Eyes Now his account actually was compromised because he posted that link. I locked it for now.


THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING THIS. Didn't realize the account was taken over at the time.

It doesn't actually mean that you were talking to the hacker. The account might be compromised once he posted the screenshot, meaning he posted the thread and very possibly the hacker may not have posted anything with the account, but he certainly was able to change the password.

He got "user does not exist" same as I did may be because someone already did it before him.

Maybe you got the user does not exist because someone reset the password before you clicked the link, making it invalid for others that try to use it.

Theymos himself that his account has been compromised because the link has been posted, and his password has been reset shortly after his thread was created.
