The Curious Case of Jkoil's Account Smiley

So is your gmail account also compromised or not? How was the hacker able to reset the password through the e-mail on May 4th?


No idea. I guess BTT admins know, which email was used. My bad memory in this case Sad

Now checking the emails of my 'current' account:
 there are emails from
  - Exchanges
  - NEM Forum, NXT Forum (both already old and shutdown),
  - and finally some from Bitcoin Forum, but old too, eg. this from  2014

IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email.
The message they sent you was:

Have to admit that there is a chance that I have changed the email account in BTT account some years ago (after there was some warnings or something).
And that email account was not so active one for me in other issues. If that is the case I have relied on my BTT account : I will always see the account name in my BTT account and then check that email account every now and then.

I found from my files 2 je*.com email addresses, which I suspect to be the candidate for the "latest email in BTT";
other one has been for (mainly) Youtube and that one's pw does not work anymore. Hacked?
The other one's pw is currently "out of my memory" Sad 


My latest posting by "jkoil" was on May 12, 2022.
Is it known that the hack was made on May 4th?
