Topic: attempted hack? let me know what you think (Read 787 times)
I ran clamxav everything seems fine. I think it has something to do with QT syncing with my computers clock.
I just restarted my computer (OSX). the OS asked me if I wanted to 'deny' or 'let' two unknown files send out informtion. I clicked 'deny'. Openned Bitcoin-QT and now having to reindex.
Opened Chome to go to the forum (bitcointalk) and Chrome interfered saying an outside source is trying to redirect me.
thoughts?
I hope my coin is still there after the reindex

When in doubt, assume its an attack an move your coins. Keep in mind that a keylogger might be installed allready.
Its allways better to move your coins and have not been attacked than to do nothing and tomorrow the attacker succeeds.
Definitely run clamxav just to be sure - or one of the other ones out there. Better to be safe.
thank you
I have little snitch running a oscpd and ntpd file are the only things that look a little abnormal but after a quick google search they are not abnormal

I'd give a few things a try.
1. If you can create an offline wallet, you could always send your coins to a new address that has not been on a public machine just to be safe.
2. Then try running clamxav to make sure you don't have some type of trojan or something. It is free, and reputable.
3. If you are clean from 2, you can always use something like Little Snitch to monitor your incoming and outgoing connections in order to help determine what is going on. I think Little Snitch is free for 30 days or so.
It is hard to say whether it is an attempted hack without more info, but best to be safe vs sorry.
;-)
p.s. This should probably be in the "Technical Support" thread btw. ;-)
