Exactly!!
Why do the people think that the proxies make them more secure is beyond me. Shocked

to be safe you need to put your wallet in a encrypted file on a virtual machine (like: virtual box,...) en encrypt the Vhhd of the virtual machine you cant be safe enough.

How is it possible to get stolen if you had 2FA?
Sorry for your loss, but are you sure that you did not activate it after?

Why would you backup an empty wallet, or why would you backup your wallet.dat if you're using an online wallet?
That's what I wanted to say. Thanks for the words.
PS: I know good how it works. Don't get me wrong, just because I registered now on bitcointalk does not mean that I had nothing to do with BTC until now  Wink So long...
You've expressed you're self very wrongly.
Keeping your BTC on your PC and then storing them offline is your safest bet.

it seems like a language barrier lol but if op refers to my post I think thats the safest way to go. Linux and offline unless you need to make transactions. Never plug in your removable device to a computer that is on/running windows. Make copies of your removable device on a fresh install on linux. If you need help setting this up PM me

So actually your wallet was not stolen, but some got access to your blockchain account and transferred all BTC from that wallet to another one.
Copying the wallet.dat to USB sticks does not change anything if the coins remain on an online account which is hackable/sniffable/compromiseable, etc...

For me it looks also like an attack for key logger or DNS spoofing. Your PC may be infected and other things you're doing with authentication your PC may be in danger.

Reinstall and check carefully what you're restoring (if you do so)

Please re-read everything about bitcoin, before posting again. I doubt that you've correctly understood how everything works.

I always use linux, maybe it had something to do with me logging with Windows and next thing you know, someone moved my bitcoin to another address. I dont know how the hell that happened, I used blockchain.info... it starting to make me feel like blockchain.info aint safe at all

OP you should reinstall OS ASAP to avoid other personal stuff of yours to be compromised. Also, be warned the hacker knows all your mail passwords by now, so change them all.
