Before, there was a link sent to me for discord community management, the sender have a link makes a redirect link to other page and the message sent multiple times so i suspected immediately could be an attack, I immediately cleaned my PC for possible preventive attacks, I got confident by that time but my mistake too I didn't change my password, my email are on my PC but not in my device itself that notifies the information of my account, I mislook before that there's a change of wallet address in my profile, I thought I just paste my other address so I ignore this.
Was the password unique to bitcointalk or did you shared it with other places? I highly advice you to make a full format of your PC (I don't know how deep was your cleaning) and change immediately all the passwords to essential services that you have (banking, services, governmental websites, e-mail...). You don't know for how long did the hacker had access to your account (or PC?) so one can never be too careful. If you don't use it, password managers[1][2][3] are also a great addition to increase the security of your accounts (it isn't foolproof, the greatest anti virus is always between the ears Smiley ).
