So I believe that for secure and develop of the community, Bitcointalk administration need to send an one-time mass emailing to all addresses, registered in the forum database, with notifications that profiles can be restored if they were hacked, and add the link to the topic "Recovering hacked/lost accounts".
The suggestion makes sense for some cases, for the others it does not.

People who already abandoned the forum, for years, have likelihood to abandon their emails that were used to register their accounts on the forum too. Or even if they still use those emails, they likely no longer have interests with the forum, and don't care about their accounts' details, and status (hacked, lost, password forgot, etc.)

The forum has 2765915 users as of writing time, and some of them use fake / unreal emails; or changed their original emails.

So, my question will be:
Which type of emails will be chosen?
- The current actively used emails
- The original emails
- Only real emails, exclude fake/unreal emails.
