Your TOR session was attacked by malicious exit nodes using "Man in the middle" attack. Always make sure you are using HTTPS with valid certificate, or just don't use TOR for something financial related, use a private VPN/SSH tunnel for this.

How is that possible?
I use Tor over block chain and as i logged into my wallet a few hours later all my BTC's were hijacked.
I use for only to be secure and never thought it might be a problem.
Is there an explanation for this ? I never downloaded anything! so its impossible its a virus.
Any one has any ideas how it  can happen ?
I seen it happened to a few people already.

There are malicious Tor exit nodes targeting Bitcoin services. They will do man-in-the-middle HTTPS attack against your Bitcoin website. This is only successful if you accept the invalid security certificates of the website. The web browser gives a big red warning "DON'T GO TO THIS SITE THE CERTIFICATE DOESN'T MATCH". If the user clicks yes and then the secure connection is compromised and the Tor exit node can steal your Bitcoins.

You can read more about the attacks against the Tor users here.

Thus, Tor should not be recommended for the users who are not technically-sawy enough to avoid risks like this.

I also just read somewhere that Tor and Non-Darkweb sites like block-Chain don't work well together, because of security issues, and it did explain why, I can't remember, I will see if I can find the post.

Also sorry for your loss, that's a bummer Sad

I saw another thread about it. Perhaps it's related with tor or an exploit targeting tor.
Which OS are you on?
