My account is hacked

[sarumbear-temp]

I created this account as a temporary means to let people know that my account 'sarumbear' is hacked. Someone changed the email address and password and locked me out of the account. I have tried to get in touch with the limited means available to let admins know but so far I have not received a reply.

Damn that sucks. I hope you can get your account back!

@AdamG247 @BDWoody
(just in case)

Wow, that sucks. Maybe the mods can tell from the IP address of the perp what's going on.

Your actual account has just (suspiciously) posted two items for sale - presumably trying to trade on your reputation here.

I'd suggest posting a warning on those threads that the person posting is not you.

@AdamG247, @BDWoody - can the account be frozen until sorted out.


You do need to worry about how they have obtained your logon credentials, and have they been able to access any other accounts of yours. I'd be changing passwords left right and centre right now.


EDIT - I've just posted a warning on those two threads.

Thank you for the quick response through this temp account. I was using an old password on ASR which is seen on the Internet. I had since changed all my passwords but stupidly omitted ASR.

When and how can I access to my normal account @sarumbear so that I can make the corrective posts or better still delete them?

We will lock your accounts until you tell us it’s clear. Send an email to Amir when things have resolved.

Do you have control of your email? If yes we ask Amir to reset your password and then you can go from there. @amirm can you please reset @sarumbear account password.

Are all the 4 recent adverts for stuff for sale all bogus? If so I can delete them?

The hackers changed the email address.

I checked and so far only ASR has been compromised. I use 1password and I checked the password I used on ASR was not used anywhere else.

This is the email I received from @amirm's email address, to which I replied. There is no other option to contact an admin on ASR, hence I created this temporary account to get in touch with an admin.

My email is changed. The correct one is the one used on this temporary account, hence I can access it. I need this account to be deleted and @sarumbear account email to be changed to the email currently on this temporary account. If there is another way please let me know.

I didn't post anything for sale.

OK, you’re account is locked. The 4 adverts have been locked and deleted. We now wait for Amir to show up and then he will help you recover your account. This happens from time to time and don’t worry you won’t lose everything.

Send your new email address to this email and explain who you are: [email protected]

So when did this happen? I noticed the items for sale which seemed odd along with some comments that seemed out of character.

Based on when the false adverts were posted around 1849 hrs EST yesterday.

The email change notification was sent from @amirm's email address. I replied to that email, hence @amirm will be able to understand, I hope..

I received the email changed notice at Sunday 11 December 2022 22:53 (GMT) but only saw the email today.

So the test of our new Shadow Banning system seems to be working perfectly! Wooohahaha…..

Well when you commandeer accounts you could also use that CHAT AI to keep posting comments to make it look good.

So, that stuff you're selling. Money-back guarantee?

I wondered why anyone would hack an ASR account. Now we know.
