Blockchain.info's online wallets appear to be the most secure.

Really? Had 19 bitcoins stolen from my blockchain.info last week.

2factor would have probably helped you as well....just saying.

I haven't heard of many people who had their coins stolen if they are using google 2factor and they lock down their Gox security settings.

What IP is needed?

MtGox will provide the IP address of the computer the hacker used.

I'll avoid using my Windows device at all now I've changed the password, I generally only use IOS devices IPhone and IPad.

This is in MTGox in infos, It's my address, I think it's used to deposit BTC.

The IP of a device I use to access Gox is 94.197.127.60, I do not know how static this is.

I've changed and lengthned my password, and Gox say I should now file a police report and have them contact Gox, but what can we do here?

What information I can give can be used for tracking down the theif?

IP & Bitcoin address, however I'm afraid there is rarely anything you can do.

Call the Police?  Goodness, you will have a very hard time explaining to them what is a Bitcoin Sad

That's probably the best thing that you can do right now.

You shouldn't have left your money with Gox to begin with. Blockchain.info's online wallets appear to be the most secure. You could have also downloaded the Electrum client. Doing so would relieve you of having to worry about HD space for the blockchain. Plus you could take your client with you anywhere and connect it on any computer (as long as it's safe and secure). I reccomend you download an AV software for your PC.

IP address

Ps: Try to find how did your account got compromised.
Scan your pc for infection, check link in my signature.

Do not click on any links in this forum.. Its just asking for trouble.

Of course because a (How to keep your pc safe) tutorial posted on bitcointalk.org can contains a java drive by.

Are you seriously stupid? or you can't check hyperlinks at all.
