i am still confused why you haven't tried to get them back, i am sure if you jumped on irc and told them the deal they would give them back to you.
I didn't have BitHDTV account, so I didn't lost anything.
And on my important trackers I have different passwords, so even if I would have had Bit-HDTV, wouldn't had lost anything important :) (yeah, my english grammar sux :pinch:)
hasn't affected me at all as I wasn't on the list, though even if I was I would have been ok because I use different passwords. Sorry for your loss m8 some lessons hurt more than others.
personally I never use the same passwd on any tracker or forum.
I never use the same passwd on my email.
I almost never use the same username on my trackers.
I use insane passwds that it are impossible to be predicted.
Yes, I was also in the BitHDTV list, but my username there was unique and never used anywhere else.
Needless to say I lost none of my accounts.
I was affected but not on trackers but here
so I not vote
i didnt affect
thanks god
Had a acc there, but giveaway before that happens, got a new acc but registed after.
So i didnīt lost anything :)
Wasn't a member there. It's a good idea to use a different password on every tracker.
I most certainly wouldn't register on that tracker again. Same goes for tb btw.
Not a member there...
just a warning, a lot of trackers have given warning to all of their users to change their password because of the bit-hdtv leak; some trackers might be unforgiving if you lost your account because of that leakQuote:

They have no idea what happened.
I have there account only 11 days... i am not on the list and i use on all my trackers different generated passwords ( /recover.php )...
Man, this was a big wake up call for me.
I, like many others, was only using one password for all my sites. I didn't get burnt this time since I wasn't a member of bitHDTV (luckily) but it shocked me into action. I've since changed all my accounts to unique passwords. I urge anyone who hasn't yet to do so. These sites are getting hacked all the time, better to be safe than sorry.
i lost my bithdtv pu acc. 120 gb buffer along with my thorsland one
the thing that pisses me off is i was just invited to thorsland
i was really mad first but now i just thank god it wasn't all of my accounts
That's a bad break Sam. Sorry to hear you got scammed. If you need an invite to HDBits let me know.
thanks buddyQuote:

but your sympathy is enough for me :)
no offence but how can u lose all the accounts?
surely there isnt ppl sitting there typing the shit in 24/7
how would they know that u use same username?
i would think so!
lucky for me i have made friends on all my trackers
anything happens then i can hola at my friends and they can get me back in or at the very worst i can account share!
lucky basturd :ermm: will u be my friend?Quote:

i'm sure if you could prove you were the original owner they would have no worries giving the account back.
and how you can prove that?
the one who hacked your account will change the password the email address and reset the passkey
now what you have left is the user name and the ratio and if you don't have someone to confirm you are the owner no one will believe you
thank you sam, that was my point all along
and by the way, who really has 10 bit-hdtv accounts?
Well, the most obvious place to look is the ip. If you were using the same ip for a month then the ip, email, passkey were all changed. You go on the site and say your account was stolen. Your username/password were also on the bitHDTV list. If you still have the original ip chances are very good you will get your account back.
The key is that you must have been on the list and you must have lost your account just after the list went public. Admins and staff are mostly smart guys, give them a little credit.
it would also help if you still had the account registry confirmation e-mail, too
that's a good pointQuote:

i still find it hard to believe that you would just let your accounts go that easy. there are a lot of ways to prove your account was stolen and you were the original owner ffs.
ip, email, password being on that list is a sure fire way to get your account back.
necromantic your one smart cookie.:D
Different users/passwords/mails almost everywhere, so I'm good.
no but changed all passes to be sure.
I'd also put some other options.
"I was affected, but took precautionary measures in time"
"I was affected, but have different passwords on the respective sites"
i would but i cant figure out how to edit the damn poll. i shouldve thought about the options first though.Quote:

Just use different passwords, that's enough even if they are weak.Quote:

where is the user list?
Affected, yes. but not bcuz my account was stolen. There have been many 'hijacked' account which takes a bit to sort thru.
Edit:
The list:
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bit...tv-list-220224
Out of curiosity DV8 are you skeptical when people come running about their account being stolen off the list? and whats the ratio of scammers to people who have genuinely had their account nicked?
feel free to ignore the question if you feel your answer will giveaway too much or cause to much hassle with people asking for accounts.
