It is possible that another person attempted to use the secret recovery method on your account which is what caused the lock.
That can't be the case.
If you try to reset your password via the secret question, it will be reported on
Security log.
Therefore, since there is no record of password chance via the secret question on BPIP, we can be sure that there has been no attempt for that.
Well, I didn't use the secret recovery method on my account. The email I received goes like this:
Hi,
We noticed a login activity on your account linked with a group that keeps posting malware download links on the forum. You could have been infected yourself if you downloaded something random or from a PM ...
If that is the case your email may also be compromised. Our recommendation would be to stop using it and create a new one, just to be safe.
To prove ownership, are you able to sign a message using the address you paid for the copper membership ? You can use the template below:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account <account> has been hacked/lost. Please reset the email to <email>. The current date is <date>.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
