All I have to say is look for somebody who had physical access to the computer where you logged onto deepbit(and no, when you close the web browser it does not log you out of deepbit) or someone who had the access to the computer from which the mining was done.
Although it's trivial to get username/password for anyone on the network, I doubt anyone at random would be trying that stuff. It's someone from your circle

Any security cameras where the computers are?

I have since changed the password,  and I am currently the only person on the planet who knows it.

Does deepbit have any sort of a log of what IP addresses log into each account?
I think that might be my only chance of having any info at all as to who took my bitcoins.
If the IP address is one in the same town as my business,  I will know the theft was related to one of the employees who knew the password.

If the IP address is in some far off country,  then I know it was just some random hacker.

Any other thoughts on how I can find additional information?

I recommend using Eligius. They take no fees and you provide an address for payments when you start it and nobody can change the address without accessing your computer.

For all you know they wrote the password down, so they couldn't forget it and the cleaning lady found the note below the keyboard.

The only people who knew my password,  were myself,  and a couple of other employees at MemoryDealers, and all of them say they did not change anything.

Well, that's a giant red flag. An employee realizing it would be very hard to track might have prompted the theft.

Even if they are all completely honest and trustworthy, the chance that someone isn't 100% vigilant in protecting the info rises exponentially with every person.

I think this is a lost cause. I don't know what you were thinking leaving 130 coins on deepbit.

I was trying not to keep all my eggs in one basket.

Beware of other people using your accounts.

I agree,  but they are both trusted long term employees 5+ years who I trust.


I am guessing that deepbit maybe susceptible to a brute force password hacking attack.
You seem to be able to try as many incorrect passwords on the site in a row as you want.
I hope they put a delay after 3 failed log in attempts.

Does anyone have the contact info for the admin at deepbit?
I am hoping they have some kind of log for whoever logged into my account.

--------------------UPDATE----------------------

I just head that the thief logged in from IP address:
94.75.217.249
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1"

--------------------------------------------------

Please help!
I woke up this morning,  logged into my deepbit account at 7:35AM PST on 5-14-2011 to see how things were going,  and someone had transfered all my bitcoins to address:
15YaS8ux9u6YUrS6DmdTZa1NaLecNNNCKT  and set it continue to send to that address as soon as my account received even 0.01 additional bitcoins.

My password was a combination of letters and numbers,  and I assumed it was reasonably secure.  (perhaps not)
The only people who knew my password,  were myself,  and a couple of other employees at MemoryDealers, and all of them say they did not change anything.

The following information comes up in that address in the block explorer:


Address 15YaS8ux9u6YUrS6DmdTZa1NaLecNNNCKT

Short link: http://blockexplorer.com/a/2tZky3pBUi
First seen?: Block 123886 (2011-05-14 12:43:27)
Received transactions: 3
Received BTC: 136.59
Sent transactions: 0
Sent BTC: 0
Hash160?: 31d94e8645d5e7f93ad8deeefe69a0a911bd9589
Public key?:
Unknown (not seen yet)
Ledger?

Note: While the last "balance" is the accurate number of bitcoins available to this address, it is likely not the balance available to this person. Every time a transaction is sent, some bitcoins are usually sent back to yourself at a new address (not included in the Bitcoin UI), which makes the balance of a single address misleading. See the wiki for more info on transactions.

Does anyone know how I can try to track down who stole my bitcoins and where they went?!!!!!

Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated!
