Ahh thank you, I assume it is now safe to post the signed message that I sent via pm?
Yes, it's safe.

Archive of the quoted postI can sign another, just as soon as core finishes catching up.

It's fine. Given how and when everything folded, it checks out.
I still don't like the idea of having to deal with negative reports / trust on my main account though.
I understand but it's a needed step for such cases.
You might want to also edit and change the title of this thread (from the first post of the thread), so DT members can easily spot it and leave the necessary ratings:
"Account hacked [Signed messaged verified], awaiting -neg rating from DT1/2"
When that's done and one of them (DT1/2) leave the appropriate feedback, you can change the title of the thread (deleting the ending part) and wait until you recover the account.
Thank you very much, you are a star. Thread title updated, though I am not looking forward to clearing up the negativity it will bring, but at least it will do something to either stop them using my account, or speed up recovery process.
Thank you once more.
