We responded to your ticket, we will send you a emails sent to dumps to confirm the withdrawal. Once again we remind that without confirming the withdrawal of funds by email withdraw funds impossible.

What does this even mean? I've been reading, writing and speaking English for over 40 years, and I'll be darned if I can understand this incomprehensible statement. I get the same incomprehensible statements from BTC-E and Clickbetter with every inquiry. It seems to be their way of avoiding addressing any real issue, while simultaneously stealing from its customers. BTC-E customer service needs to improve 1000 fold.

Ya this is the first time this has happened to me, it blows me away how stupid I was.

I lost my phone, and I had to have 2FA disabled on BTC-E. Then I never put it back on.

I have traded on BTC-E for years, and Ive never had a problem. I created this retarded issue myself. It won't happen again.

Thanks for your comments.

Transferring more than $100 without 2FA?

That is not clever.

This is the IP: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools#ipInformation|type=ipv4&&value=37.59.164.106

Says from France, but probably just TOR or a VPN.

This is the IP of this server : https://www.perfect-privacy.com/
You get the picture.

So apparently not only did my BTC-e get hacked but my email did too. This is me to blame. I have been on prescription medication, and I have let a few things slide. Including, apparently using the same password on multiple different websites.

But now, BTC-E has locked my account down. I have my deposits from my mining going to BTC-E, and I am about to pay my debt at BTCJAM, but I have to get their approval to release the funds. This is getting complicated, and terribly annoying.

On another note, I got an email a week ago, from someone selling a SQL dump of user information from BitcoinTalk.. So if you are vulnerable here, I would recommend changing your password, and hardening your security.

If this happens there should be still track/log on the mailserver.

Just because you can't find an email in your inbox, does not mean they didn't send you an email. If your email was hijacked (which 99.9% it was), then the hijacker can also delete the email that BTC-e sent to you. This is common practice, since it erases their tracks and does not allow you to catch on.

This is scary? What happened? I am thinking to send money there, but this does not look very well.

theres that saying, you get what you pay for. my advice is go buy it locally on localbitcoins or coinbase if you are located in the usa.

the next exchange would be bitstamp.

No, I am not in the USA. I just like their better exchange rate. I am using Kraken for my EUR->BTC, but I have USD and btc-e has simply far best exchange rate. Even if I exchange the USD to EUR and go to kraken I get far better rate than local Bitcoins. Also I am buying up to high 3figs of BTC and those money is not wise to handle locally. Besides that my money is not at any local bank.

BTC-E, I got your email. I responded.

This is my response;

When I clicked on "Cancel the transaction" in the link that you sent, it says:

"Error: Withdraw was confirmed or cancelled before"

I looked in my email, and there is not even a reference to this transaction for confirmation. I never got anything to confirm or cancel this transaction.

I also see that this cleared through the blockchain on November 21st.

I will be cancelling my account with BTC-E.com

This transaction is not mine, but all of my coin is gone.

I have had my account with BTC-E.com for years. I have put many thousands of dollars through your site. This has never happened ANYWHERE, on ANY site to me before.

This is something specifically wrong with BTC-E.com.

1. Personally never had a problem with btc-e
2. Did you check your spam folder?
3. You should always enable 2FA, it's my first priority for anything online.

Every few months a thread like this seems to pop up, it is very suspicious. Either BTC-E security is too weak or the people behind it are taking advantage of the odd depositor and hoping it will slip under the radar.

Btc-e handles thousands of customers. Now and then there are bound to be issues, its not surprising.

Not having 2FA was a major oversight in security.

Ya, I had just bought 2 BTC from Coinbase, and I had the rest that I needed to pay my loan back in BTC-e.

Ive had my BTC-e account for years, first time this has happened.

Am I sure it wasn't me that compromised it? Ya. LOL I am definitely sure about that.

2 factor authentication was not enabled, as I had my phone destroyed recently and I had to disable 2FA and wait like 14 days to be able to use my account after disabling 2FA. After the 14 days and all of that, I did not enable it.

But I definitely changed up security today.

you cant do anyhing bro, let it go as a learning, next dont forget to enable 2 Factor auth

This is mostly just a public service announcement. Letting people know that there is something fishy going on at BTC-E

You sure it wasn't you that has been compromised?

2-factor enabled? If not, you should probably enable it now at any site you visit that has this option.
