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-----

You need to give them a signed message.

You can download this website and use it offline to sign the message: https://bitcoinmessage.tools/ it is made by a Bitcointalk member. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5440095.0

Next you need to locate the address you used to pay for copper membership. Do you remember this address? if you used a walelt application, you should be able to export the private key, and use the above website to create a signed message.
