Quote from: badinage on January 11, 2013, 03:31 amI changed my password and PIN on my silk road account right before transferring bitcoins to it (as the buyers guide recommends doing). I saved the password and PIN to a text document. I had the original password and pin saved in text documents that were saved in a password protected RAR file. I delete the text file after logging in to silk road so that the only copy is in the rar file. I forgot to rezip the edited document with the changed password and pin and deleted the document as I usually do. I'm a dumbass. Who do I contact about this? Please tell me I didn't fuck myself out of the bitcoins I just transferred :(I have tried using a few file recovery programs to no avail.The Buyer's Guide does not recommend that you change your password and PIN before transferring Bitcoin to your account.It recommends doing so only if you registered on a fake site pretending to be Silk Road; the reason for this is that a recent phishing site allowed logins and sign-ups to the real Silk Road by re-directing the information entered into the phishing page to the real Silk Road login / sign-up pages, effectively gaining access to your account the second you created it.Quote from: Silk Road Buyer's Guide - Phishing sectionPhishingPhishing is a technique used by hackers to trick you into giving them your password and PIN. It is a serious problem on hidden services because the URL is so hard to remember and can be imitated. Fake URLs are often advertised on the hidden wiki and wikipedia.org. If you registered on a fake site pretending to be Silk Road, your account will be compromised and your money stolen. We HIGHLY recommend that you change your PIN and password before making your first deposit, just to be sure. Don't be another victim, change your PIN!There is NO need to change your password and PIN before transferring BTC to your account unless you signed up from a fake site.- grahamgreene
