If a member's account was hacked, would the hacker have the ability to edit the profile?

Tls49,
Yes. But if the hacker changes something in the members profile the agon system sends an email to the member's Verified email address that is on file with Agon.

The hacker does not want the real username Agon member to know his account has been hacked.
The idea is to use the true username and his/her 100% feedback for the bogus ad listing.
The hacker conveniently lists his email address in the ad so a potential buyer can reach him/her directly. Very nice of the hacker.
Question comes mind.... If a hacker lists a phone in a bogus ad does the Agon automated computer system compare the phone number listed on the ad to the username profile phone number?
