Hey, I have to say that I have no antivirus nor firewall (using Windows7)...
I've donwloaded at least 10 xxcoin-qt (bitcoin-qt, litecoin-qt, etc...)
All of them have some coins.
Stop believing antivirus.
These attacks comes from a way that all these security suites are not capable to stop ir detect.
There are several ways to bypass these programs.
I'm a developer.
I cant explain here in just a few words how many methods to do this exists.
But there are a lot of different methods that can be used together.
If you want to be your own bank, remember to secure it
Topic: 90 BTC stolen! - page 9. (Read 14018 times)
Haa, you mean you received BTCs from an unkown payer? Odd indeed.
I don't know if this is related, but I had two very odd transactions in my bitcoin QT wallet (0.8.5), which is encrypted (with a strong password) and locked, when I started my wallet this morning:
I received 2.28702289 BTC with transaction ID 00d5a7f30eb82873ce9d4950c4a084be47d25d5ce39bd0f245c763fb756ca197 at 25.01.2014 21:35. I was not expecting this payment.
I then apparently SENT 2.4700226 BTC to 1LensmQKWbFM5UJjWEokWgZLNWZGZqn4rX with transaction ID 4c10dfc08ea4f7a49a7bf871b1e1dacba56d95e69819bb32eec85fac20e1ef08 at 26.01.2014 12:27
This latter transaction currently has status 5/unconfirmed.
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.

I know, but maybe someone would take the challenge for good.
Whoever helps recover the loss will be rewarded with half of the recovered BTC, that is 45 BTC's, I promise.
The chance of getting back your btc is very slim indeed.
Anyway, good luck OP.

First off sorry dude that really sucks. Secondly even if you could find out the person responsible, it's gonna be really tough to get the coins back. I know of several people in here who got scammed out of coins a few months ago. We were able to find out his exact address and identity because he scammed me on eBay too. With that said I reported it to the police but they are not all that excited to jump on a bitcoin case. They did take the report, but I still have yet to see any indication they've even questioned this guy
This is the thief's address:

Let's keep hunting!
16CLrCq8c1M8qsCYNP5r21AejMWUgZS7uk

Starting from that address, which has now a balance of 0 BTC, if you follow all the transactions involving the money, you will go through numerous addresses which in turn sent the whole amount (thus remaining with a 0 balance) to the next one. Why is that?
@ OP: why did you wait almost 2 days to report the theft?
the money is actually going down bcos they are spending it... spent coins are even harder to trace...
theres only 48 BTC left

looks like a lot of transactions propagating from a 0 location (this shows up as somewhere in the ocean under ghana on the world map because thats where 0 longitude and 0 latitude are.. ie NO location).. this sometimes means the transaction comes from blockchain.info itself (ie a blockchain.info wallet).. if it is indeed a blockchain.info wallet, you could try to contact blockchain.info and ask them to freeze the wallet if you can prove the money was yours in the first place. I have no idea if they will help you or not but its worth a shot.

Maybe bad random generator in QT strikes again?
Again?I need your help!
I have 2 bitcoin-qt wallets, and yestarday one single transaction happened to both of my wallets and my 90 some BTCs were transferred out of my wallets. I don't know what happened and if it's possible to recover. The blockchain information is as follows:
https://blockchain.info/tx/32d070a547e9d2cc2de4dc453cea27789bf33f1c983ffdc7f28ce3419e70c9d5
On my wallet client software, in the transaction record column, the "address" shows a n/a, and the summary shows a double direction arrow.
How can two wallets be made to transact at the same time with a single transaction? The two addresses are as follows:
1CLn42dHFuXAd7o9bgrsCRmfDvLavRoxTq
1H4esgi6KwhDtVXZXJ12AS7QEwdeQighn4
Is it possible to track down the thief and recover my lost?

hacked?
The thief kept moving BTC around to avoid being caught?

labcoin shareholders have been hunting for 7000 BTC for many months.. its not easy to trace the money if the thief knows what they are doing.
Maybe bad random generator in QT strikes again?
Again?making cold storage easy should be a goal => building a custom linux distro + raspberry PI + printer.
sorry for your loss, but playing law enforcement is not a good idea.

Exactly! Even if people do see warnings online to use an offline wallet (which many do not), that sure as hell doesn't mean they know how to do it correctly. And I'm sure the rebuttal will be: "well if they can't do that they shouldn't be using bitcoin." Which is a great response - if you want to repress the expansion of bitcoin.
I agree! The use of Bitcoin must be made foolproof! We can't expect the general public to embrace it if the process of safely storing your money is so damn USER-UNFRIENDLY!

Also if the address 1H4esgi6KwhDtVXZXJ12AS7QEwdeQighn4 is compromised (or the wallet.dat containing this address) you should reroute regular 0.03 BTC payments (are these mining profits?) this address is receiving somewhere else.
