Topic: 90 BTC stolen! - page 2. (Read 14020 times)
lesson learnt...use a relatively cold storage device such as an old, not used often laptop OR only fire up your regular PC wallet when you want top conduct a transaction
so many 
i want have 30 please
i want have 30 please
I wish we could know what was on alot of these computers. It is quite baffling something coins end up leaving QT...I guess at the end of the day our only option is to have a offline device for btc only...
file your lawsuit. Fight for what is yours!! god da mmit!!
Using Windows? It's full of malware and keyloggers. Switch to Linux, it's serious OS.

I keep getting it in phishing/fake emails.
I think the best way is cold storage. You can get virus/malware anywhere, but using the official repositories you can avoid them to a large extend;
This sucks, man! i hope you will be able to restore them!
So whats the conclusion out of this? What is the best way to prevent stealing?

I'm a little skeptical. philipzhai appears to be a newbie, but take a look at the addresses he claims the coins were stolen from:
1CLn42dHFuXAd7o9bgrsCRmfDvLavRoxTq is over a year old and there are 121 transactions for a total of 5,657 BTC. In the first transaction, it received nearly 900 BTC.
1H4esgi6KwhDtVXZXJ12AS7QEwdeQighn4 has been receiving mining income for almost 2 years.
Do you believe that the original post was written by someone that has been mining for nearly 2 years and has more than 100 transactions worth 5657 BTC?

A lot of people use bitcoin but write on bitcointalk only when they need help.
Exactly right
the amount of people using bitcoin compared to bitcointalk is crazy...some do not realise that though
I'd be even more extreme : the people that matters in the bitcoin world rarely post on bitcointalk, there are on irc. I think there is a hierarchy within the bitcoin communty : reddit
The higher you are in the hierarchy the sooner you have access to information.
Jesus man! I'm so sorry for your loss ((((

I do not have any malware or key loggers on my PC according to my antivirus software. the wallet software was not even active when the transaction was supposedly executed - I launched it at around 12:45.
Windows antivirus softwares are not complete protection against malware. I've seen so many cases when antivirus software just can't see malware and block it. I administer around 500 computers, know what I'm talkig about.
Linux is the only way for fairly secure computing.
Anti-virus is only a 'fishing net' so to say, it may catch most of the spyware and viruses but not all. This is because, at the time a virus scanner is developed, several new viruses could be made - or they could come out after the virus scanner is released.
Linux is not the only way, I think you should be good with systems like FreeBSD also.

Wow very sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck getting your BTC back!

OP could you address this? It's a valid point.
How is that remotely a valid point ? Just because he has a newbie tag, it means he's a newbie ?! Seriously.... Come on! Think !
I'd rather know what OS he is running, what wallet he was using to hold his coins and what steps he had taken to protect them.

That is very interesting. I think you may be on to something here.
However, if it is true, sorry about your loss OP. I hope you have recovered from this.
It is hard to get away with deceit here. I have no reason to doubt the original poster and hope he gets his coins back.

I thought a double-direction arrow and "n/a" in the transaction field in Bitcoin-Qt represented a transaction between addresses within the same wallet?
^^ THIS
OP, I realize it is probably to late now, but did you ever try using the debug console (on both wallets) to dump the private key to that address?
Open debug Window
Then type:
dumprivkey<1CLn42dHFuXAd7o9bgrsCRmfDvLavRoxTq>
and then try:
dumpprivkey<1H4esgi6KwhDtVXZXJ12AS7QEwdeQighn4>
Just curious.
