Hi, a little update on the story. SO the address where everybody can check is this http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/PIVX/address.php?address=DC2zB4fnzEaYyjc4SbzVgJSxAXUtK4Vk6Y there are all lost pivx. I have talked with Pivx Devs and they refused to give me the address of the person registered on their team even if it doesn't count so much. It is the gesture. They did't helped, they said we who lost money where stupid and if i need email address or anything else to come with a court order. Not cool.

Would you care to copy the response here, so we can see how they treated you? I'm just curious.

It saddens me when I hear about theft in Crypto. You are not dumb, you seem like an honest and honorable person who unfortunately gave someone you thought was a developer your private keys. Karma is a bitch and I hope the person who took your funds would have the decency to return them. A man who cons will one day meet a con far smarter and better and his loss will be far more painful. If one thinks about the banking sector, where theft is a daily activity, and rewards are never granted on merit, where failure by the elite is paid for by the people, and the very people bailed out prey on the poor (with insane credit score bs, outrageous interest, and "fees" galore), crypto was supposed to be more than just "money", it was supposed to level the playing field, take out the leaches and middlemen and put control back in the hands of the people. Unfortunately, it seems the bankers are jumping right into it and peer to peer has become "ICO get rich". The truth is changing the status quo can only come from those with the means and resources to make it happen, do it out of duty, not profit. If we cannot defend those weaker than us and strive for true change, our children may one day pay the price for our blindness and apathy.

Guys, i only said that my pivx are with mike's pivx and other 97.000 Pivx. I didn't sent any private key or other key to my slack interlocutor but he helped me config a masternode and finally sent me a filezilla named chaines and bloks to sync my masternode and after opening and downloaded it and installed it, instantly the pivx left my wallet. Simple.
This was in June. Until now the thief didn't withdraw any but is staking.

Windows isn't that bad now, but yes Linux is better I agree (if only because there's less malware written for it). You also have to be careful with your private keys, not even Linux can save you from that

No unknown emails or downloads. I'm very aware of malware and can spot a dodgy download easily. Also using up to date eset smart security and malwarebyes.

You seem to be knowledgeable but it is seem you are using windows, that OS is very insecure, you should use Linux in any of its different flavors, I know that at first it can be a pain to get used to but at the end you are going to like it even more thanks to the security it brings to you, because 10000 PIVX is a lot of money.

If you actually had read the thread, you would have seen he got "tricked" by someone offering to help him set up his masternode, and he has sent his private key to this person.

I think u need tell us how much kind of altcoin client you running on pc.
Probably one of the altcoin clients run as a virus. when you run & sync blockchain, it search all *.dat & sync to its server.

Hi Mike,
I did some research and found that the guy who hacked you also hacked my masternode. Is this your address D6T7kVpkhtwj2iY1AvnF36roFEWBGTPdHH ? All the money are here now http://www.presstab.pw/phpexplorer/PIVX/address.php?address=DC2zB4fnzEaYyjc4SbzVgJSxAXUtK4Vk6Y . I was the last hacked. The guy didn't spent a dime. This is strange.

sorry to hear that mate.
probably the guy is investing on his free time

I think you should check your computer with 2-3 expert people, you probably can't recover your funds but you can enlighten how could it be done. I think keystore files are very unsecure as a malicious program can easily detect and transfer them.

Trying to figure out a robbery in anonymous transactions is going to be hard work. Cheesy

It would really be a hardwork specially we wont ever know on whos the one who holds that wallet. It really sucks when you are doing the best security steps for you to secure your holdings and suddenly it was being hacked by someone. In the case of op, i dont have any idea on how the hacker get those pivx he had since he mentioned that his knowledgeable already on the possible ways of hacking.

He explained it in post #43 ... A slack poster posing as a developer tricked him into dumping his private key. Sucks, but I appreciate him sharing this story because let's the rest of use noobs know what to look out for.

At the time of the transaction I was setting up the masternode and asked for help on slack. Maybe someone from pivx slack saw my post hacked me?
I have traced the transaction... it ended up here

Did you have assistance setting up a masternode from this user on PivX slack?
