All's Well that End's Well.

Today I managed to reacquire my deviantART account, which was stolen from me about a month ago. It seems to be that the only lasting damage is a change in the username, which I shall have to try and fix eventually. This means that, effectively, things are back to some semblance of normal. I've changed the password to the dA account, double checked to make sure the email address was the correct one, and made sure that there were no other sessions logged in but my own. Keep reading below for a general overview of the events of the last month:
On October 22, my deviantART account was stolen. Within the next couple of days, I was able to determine that the thief had also stolen my old FA account, and was impersonating me on Telegram. Thankfully, working with dA and FA staff, I was able to get the old FA account closed down, and as of today, retrieved the dA account.
If you or anyone you know received messages from the Weazel75 FA account or that same username on Telegram, those messages were from an imposter. On FurAffinity and Telegram, my username is Samweasel.
If you received any messages on dA from the Weazel751 dA account between October 22 and today, November 20, they were also not by me. My username on dA, formerly Weazel75, presently Weazel751, has been regained as of today and can now be trusted again.
You may also find me on Twitter, under the username Weazel751.
Should any of these four accounts become compromised again, I'll blast out an update on the remaining good ones explaining that to be the case. Should you find someone posting my art on any other website than those four, please bring it to my attention immediately, as they are likely not actually me. If you get a message from anyone claiming to be me on any account or website aside from those four above mentioned, do not trust it, it is likely not actually me.

I'm also hoping they implement two-factor authentication as a security option. This whole mess probably could've been avoided if the intruder had to enter a single-use code emailed or texted to you, or punched in a code from an authenticator that wasn't at their disposal -- but for all the changes dA's made to their site lately, apparently modernizing their security wasn't on the priorities list. You can be sure I've been blasting the admins about that, though, because the thought of being locked out of my account terrifies me.
ps don't leave details on the internet its very stupid to leave email visible on transfur and dob on da wasn't it
