Recently, the account of Jaskaran Singh — s_jaskaran_s was hacked by someone. The hacker changed the password and email address of the account and he is not able to recover it. He got to know when someone asked him if he was selling his account. He was told that someone on Telegram was selling his account.
MikeMirzayanov Can you please help him in recovering his account so that it isn't wrongly used by other people?
UPD : The account has been recovered with the help of one of the sellers.

almighty vishnu is here
Dominater069 plz add a section to bring some kind of 2FA. It would be much useful to all.
I also lost my 1st account 1.5 yrs back
Some kind of two factor authentication can make such cases much rarer.
Yes the fact that they can hack your account just by your username and list of breached password they can just brute force through is scary.
Something similar happened to me, but it was not my CF handle, it was my Leetcode account (I am a Knight on Leetcode). I was approached by a person on mail asking if I was selling my account for ₹1200 ($14.05). I told him, I was not selling it. He told me that someone else was selling my account on telegram.
So most likely these people are scamming other people by taking money and then probably ghosting them coz my account was in my control and there had been no attempt from anyone else to login into my account. So they weren't actually selling my account but using it to scam money out of desperate people.
Both ways it is horrible, and not having any two factor authentication method is what I hate about these websites, where anyone if one gets access to our account we might never get access to our account back if they change Email id and password..

Hackers are crazy. btw i actually wonder how much an orange account is sold?
Sell a CP account? How and why does that happen?
Just tell the person the password. I guess people do this for same reason why someone would cheat
why the fuck is it possible to change a password without an email verification
