if you cant update to SP1, you might have cornficker.

MS has a patch for that you can search.

Goodluck.

Do you really think cornflicker has been updated to steal wallets?

It is odd that your computer was off when it happened. I don't know what to tell you, it seems very mysterious. Are you behind a router and firewall?

Sucks, man.

Bitcoin security is not yet simple. I have the bulk of my BTC on multiple offline backups, not encrypted but physically secured, with no copies on the HD. Then I have a small account <15 BTC up and running on my machine, fully exposed, have a few in e-wallets, very small accounts on Gox, Tradehill, B7. Crazy passwords.

Hopefully I am somewhat safe, but (a) that's a lot of work, more than the typical user should have to do; (b) I could still be hacked in my smaller accounts.

Regroup, write off your losses and let it go. Go outside, go for a run.

It seems that besides a test spend about a week age, this account has only been active today. Something had to have accessed your wallet today. I doubt you picked it up earlier and it has just been waiting. Are you sure you can't think of anything you ran or visited that may be responsible?

If everything you say is true, the only way this can happen is a virus. Go back through everything bitcoin related that you have downloaded in the last 6 days. Check your history and note every bitcoin related website. This has to be a targeted attack, so focus on bitcoin related items.

Seems like the address that your money was sent to has been pretty active the last 6 days.

The Casascius 1oz 10BTC Silver Round (w/ Gold B)

I made a paper wallet to mitigate this very concern. See my sig line. All my bitcoins are on paper. I am sorry for your loss.

If I were going to fake that, I wouldn't photoshop it, that would be dumb. I'd just send the coins to an address I own and say they were stolen. We can never know who owns that address. It could be you.

More details would nice. Did you have an unencrypted version for normal access. Have you downloaded anything from bitcoin related sites that promised you something. Does anyone else have access to your computer?

If you did lose those coins, you got a virus somewhere (which likely caused your mt. gox account theft).

But I highly doubt that you actually lost those. It's too easy to post a picture on the forums and claim to have lost all your coins and ask for donations.

You didn't fall for this email, did you:

Dear Mt.Gox user,

As i'm sure most of you are well aware, there has been a serious compromise of Mt. Gox's database.

BTW, how can you be confident about viruses, etc, if you have an unencrypted wallet and you lost all your BTC from it. I mean, really, think about it.

Sounds very fishy.

If you had it encrypted, any ideas on how it was stolen?

If you're being honest, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. That stinks.

This just happened. Lost the rest of my BTC.
I have my wallet encrypted on my HDD; had 25 BTC stolen from me.
Im out. I HAD 100 in MTGOX, then it got hacked and I dont have access to them. My account requests were denied.

Well, heres a screenshot. I know its not proof, I could have shopped it, but here you go.

F*UCK this makes me angry. I know, the wallet should have been encrypted and whatnot, but the application should have implemented that a long time ago.

If you feel like helping me out with anything, I suppose you could send a few to this (new) address :/
