Ok, so my account yefi got hacked 2017-08-19. I'm a little shocked at this as my p/w was a random 9 digit code with a special character. It was also unique to this site. Anyway, please ignore anything my lobotomised impostor now writes, thank you.

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg13422402;topicseen#msg13422402

Sorry to hear this Yefi.

It is of course the lack of security on the site, and no reflection on you.   I know how I would feel, though, having to start as a noob after so many years of posting on here.  You are still a legend to those who know, don't worry!

Hope you can get back your avatar soon, or ideally Theymos will verify the hack and return the account to you - which OUGHT to be possible, given your ability to prove it.

There should be a way to prove their leaky security is at fault - so so many do not suffer this indignity on a site which (ironically) is all about cryptography.
