Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords

Thanks. When it says is that the signature script that the account had at the time it got hacked?

No. That signature is from a Bitcoin address signed message. Have you ever posted a Bitcoin address somewhere with that account? If so, you can prove ownership of your account by proving that you control ownership of that particular Bitcoin address (the one that you have posted some time ago). One way to prove ownership of a Bitcoin address is by signing a message using that Bitcoin address.

Okay thanks for the info. I did post bitcoin addresses that I own for signature campaigns in the past, which I referenced (quoted text + url) in the PM.

Haven't received a response yet, but we'll see how it goes. Boggles my mind how someone else has possession of my account.
