They dumped my coins, but there was no withdraws in my withdraw history, and no withdraw requests in my email?
I changed my password straight away.
I mailed [email protected], i'm waiting for a reply.
And for some reason they bought a load of EXCL and dumped EXCL: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-EXCL
Fucking gutted.
Anyone have richie from bittrex's user name so I can PM him?
That happened to me also around 2 yrs before, I was not using 2fa and was having a weak password. That time the scammer traded my coins for PPC and emptied my wallet.
I guess i'll be setting up 2fa.
I don't get how they were able to withdraw without it showing up on my bittrex withdraw history?
They don't withdraw from your wallet, they put high sell orders on other coin (EXCEL in this case) from their account and will buy those coins from your account. You will be able to see this in your trade history.
I had opened a case with Bittrex at that time and they refunded me .1btc (I lost around .5), even though they don't need to. It was my mistake for keeping weak password. I was using 2fa since then.
That was nice of them.
I just lost around 8BTC, which sucks balls.
I just finished setting up 2fa on all my exchange accounts.
Nevermind I need DES to moon, that should more than cover what I lost.
Is it wrong to wish cancer on the thief?
Yeah, it was nice of them to give back at least a little bit.
Wishing and cursing will not have any affect, Karma will take care of him .
And hopefully you will be able to recover more than that from DES .
I believe in karma, so i'm not going to wish cancer on them, they will get a return, everything gets a return.
How on earth did they get my email, that's what's bothering me?
Damn, just found out I have the same problem!
Please PM me, if you have any ideas how that fucker could get e-mail and password from bittrex.
I wouldn't say I had an easy password there, so how anyone could get in?
So true, expensive lesson learned.
