Here is it https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/reused-r-values-again-581411

Post there with your address, they can check it out. Blcockchain.info had sent mails to all whose private keys were compromised due to athe above error so if you havent received it its likely you didnt face that hack.

can you link the thread please sir?

If there is malware, funds would be stolen even if you keep on your local computer.

Time to withdraw all funds from blockchain.info. Funds are no longer safe. A german guy lost 12k€ while using 2FA, VM. Support are closing tickets immediate.

Thats what I suspected. If you still want a different opinion, PM or post in johoe's thread with your address and let him check if yours was compromised due to the reused R value issue.

They email back and say it was malware on my comp that obtained private key...

Hello,

I've researched your situation and it was not related to the December 8th security error. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen, because your private information was somehow obtained. One of the most common types of these are browser extensions posing as bitcoin price tickers that are actually stealing your account information. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as blockchain.info. Scammers send out phishing emails all the time posing as big named companies with the intention of stealing your login credentials. Using TOR to connect to your wallet could also result in a malicious exit node tricking your connection into appearing encrypted, but they are secretly stealing the information without you knowing.

By design, Blockchain.info never has access to users' accounts or bitcoins (more details here: https://blockchain.info/wallet/how-it-works). If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your bitcoins are safe with blockchain.info. Since this information has been compromised, be sure to never use this wallet or addresses contained within it. I'd also highly advise against using the same password again. Sorry again that you had funds stolen from you. That certainly must be an extremely frustrating experience.

yessur blockchain.info is scammaroo so far still no response all weeked (okay i guess noboody works weekends anymore lmfao) and gooing to email them again this evening hardy har har.

Whole thing is shifty to me at this point. Ill be lucky to get a chip back. maybe they will do sr2 repay who knows.?

whos to say it wasn't an inside job? Much more likely.....

Anytime I have had something stolen it has ALAWAYS been an inside job

it's even MORE suspicious they say nothing... No email (except 1 from "jade") and noo PSA's...

At the very least PSA saying we have been hacked we are working on solution please wait "x" time.

Or say hey boys yur never seeing your btc again..

saying nothing raises so many flags

I was lucky enough to salvage 0.46 bitcoin. no clue how but blockchain kept sending me coin even when my wallet said 0....... they still owe me like 0.36 but god bless jesus at least i got 0.46 back still NO CLUE how wallet said 0.

if you went to .com then thats not really blochchain. but imma assume its the .info

as for some people mentioning its secure, im not so sure.. i found this thread having a lot of peoples btc missing only w. blockchain info wallets.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2nkias/this_is_a_list_of_rbitcoin_users_who_had_their/

thats a whole list, and they all had their 2fa up, and everything.

best way to sec btc is air gap procedure then burn the comp u airgap on or NEVER let it touch the network again

Did you check and see if your wallet was on the list of broken addresses?

blockchain.info is very safe but only keep pocket change in your hot wallet. for greater sums use:

you also need a good antivirus and antimaleware.

Then why dont you download the light version wallets?

well i still havent heard anything from them today. It will be a amaizing if i get these lost funds back.. It is friday though so who really knows. Time to just play the waiting game. Pretty sure we are all familar with that.

so blockchain isn't that really safe -_-

Coz I cant download the wallet it just takes too much space in my computer.

There is also a thread on here, by a user who posted about the potential flaw on Blockchain.
Might be worth checking, if your address in on the list.

i didnt get an email at all from blockchain which is kinda crazy if theres a sec situation but okay..

regardless does anyone have a good method to do offline bitcoin wallet?

This method seems okay.... If you burn the computer you did the process on. In theory even though there are airgaps in this guys method. At least to me it seems that if the terminal you did the wallet on EVER touches the network again that it has now been compromised.

still waiting for replys from blockchain.....

got a reply from "jade"

"Hello,

I'd like to look into this matter for you further, but first I'll need a little more information. Can you send me a screenshot of the error message? What is the bitcoin address contained in your wallet that may be causing the issue? Any other related additional details you can provide may prove useful. Thanks."


Sent all screens in except the screen where it flashes security error. Unable to capture screen for unkown reasons.


going to wait until monday evening to email them again since it's the weekend............

is this because of the email from that came from the blockchain.info(based on the title of the email) that your account was closing? and if you clicked the link there you will redirected to a website that looks like blockchain and will ask you to put your identifier and password?

Check to see if your address is in the list.


If it is there youre in luck and Blockchain will refund you fully.

I remember an article too, that for 2 hours, there were some issues, and someone lost over 20 coins, but as refunded by them.
