I came across something today, and I'd like to get further clarification on a couple of things.

1) Scope of the service Cryptios is offering to the forum. I was under the impression it was solely for account recoveries.
2) Forum policy regarding Locking accounts suspected to have been hacked, sold or otherwise changed hands.

I'm concerned about action being taken without the account recovery process being started by anyone claiming ownership of the account. I've quoted the post below, I can understand the reasoning behind taking action; if forum policies have changed. Currently though this seems to be an overreach, and has the potential to lock peoples accounts unnecessarily. I don't think an account should be locked without the recovery process being started.

Well spotted! It appears that this account has indeed changed hands as the email address was changed on July 22, 2017, alongside with posting and IP patterns. I've now locked it! In the meantime, DT members can go ahead and paint it red until (and if) we determine the real owner.

Thank you for bringing this up!

I would suggest that theymos review the above thread and manage expectations as to when actions should be taken, and when/what information should be disclosed publicly. ETA/ (and when information should be accessed)
