Title: Please Help! Locked out of SR Account!
Post by: reddleman on September 24, 2013, 05:05 pm
I believe I may have fallen victim to a phishing scheme. Here's what happened: my friend came over and tried to access the SR through the Hidden Wiki, his usual method. I never use that method. I tried to enter my username and password, and was denied access. I then noticed that the URL was different than the one on Reddit. I did not provide my PIN. Ever since, when I've tried to log in on the Reddit-linked SR page, I receive a message saying "Login Failed." I have a significant amount of money in my purse and unresolved transactions that I need to access. Is there any way I can get in touch with support and get back in to my account? I still have my PIN and the mnemonic I was given, but I don't believe I tied a real e-mail account to my SR account. If anyone with more experience than I could shed some light, I'd be eternally grateful.

Make a new disposable account, then:

Memorize the SR address from now on... your friend is an idiot for trying to access SR through the hidden wiki

And if you're accessing SR through onion.to, don't.

Use Tails or DL the tor browser bundle... use tor.
