Topic: BTC/ETH Wallet hacked ($550k) stolen - page 3. (Read 3515 times)
i guess this is a lesson to anyone viewing this thread.. only keep your keys encrypted and use 2fa..
had this guy done these things, even if someone stole his phone or identity they would not be able to move his coins.

Ohh god!! It is huge amount. Sorry for your bad time. I wish you will recover it quickly and hope you will more careful about wallet.
This is very sad man. You need to watch better out the next time. Maybe you can contact the police about this and that they would investigate for you.
You need to store your wallet in a secured place with 10 passwords required to enter in and have access to your wallet. So can a hacker never break in if you have a lot of coins.

I agree that you must store you wallet in a better place next time and don't use public wifi's they are mostly easily hacked and broken in. Use 3g/4g next time from your provider this is 100 times better.
Maybe contacting the police is also a good idea maybe they can do something to recover it who knows ?.

Damn.
I am using KIS but I am afraid that I could be hacked someday.
I already protected my gmail/chrome account with 2FA, but I am afraid that my phone could be hacked.
Damn. I'm storing coins in blockchain wallet, in my PC, but my priv key in an usb, backup, write in my notebook.
But with your loss, I think I should enhance my security like buy Malwarebytes antimalware.
Sorry for your loss.

You stored your private keys in an usb, it meant that you were typing your private keys on your PC then transferred it to usb. Even if you deleted your private keys from your PC, but isn't the deleted file still can be found on PC, so if the hacker hacked your PC, the hacker still be able to retrieve your deleted private keys from your PC.
Sorry to hear that, that's a huge amount of cash.
Sorry for ur lose bro.although I sympathy with u I also would like to point out u where also careless. U never actually told us which wallets u stored those coins in.were they in an excange,web,offline wallet.?did u have 2 factor authentication through sms or Google authenticator enabled, did u check ur wifi history at the time the coins were transferred from ur wallet.we have to know these things to try figure out what happen.even though it wont bring ur coins back but it will serve as an awareness or case study so some of us can learn from ur mistake and be more careful in the future
I use imtoken for mobile access /myetherwallet for web(i was careful with url and even bookmarked it), the portfolio is all ico coins and the wallet serves as hot wallet. So i moved my priv keys around alot due to network congestion during icos. (Android keyboard saves keystroke )
ETH wallet doesnt have 2FA even the wallet password is useless.
My mistake, not moving coins out to offline wallet and not buying a travel data pass while on trip. Even the house wifi that i stayed in has weak router password/encryption so it could be the neighbors
Today hackers can easily steal your money if you are on a public wifi you can use your 4g or your home wifi to be safer. I never use public wifi i always use my 4g internet, because thats safe.
I am really sorry for your loss dude thats a lot of money i hope you can get it all back from the hackers.

This is one of the risk of investing into cryptocurrencies and this is a very big learn that we need to put security first there is no need to investing or holding a token if we can't secure them. Sorry for your loss. Can you send through your ethereum address I can send some tips to you
2 days before the hack while i was still in US, my brother sent me message that he dreamt that I told him I was hacked and lost 20 BTC. Unfortunately, I just focused on company's bitcoin wallet and changed all credentials.
You should see how sad he was when i sent him a text that i was hacked.

This is terrible, I am really sorry. I wish there can be something done about these theives who just want to take other peoples hard earned money. I dtont think theres anything that can be done. In future,please DONT keep your coins on a desktop or mobile wallet. Invelst in a Ledger nano S. Amounts more than $5k must go to a hard wallet. I hope the hacker will have mercy and return the funds. Maybe be you should write in local papers as well. Where were you tavelling?

It's pity to hear that. You should always use VPN with unfamiliar WiFi. And even with your own!

Thanks everyone for your concern. The purpose of this thread is to publicly appeal to the hacker to return back my funds. Failure to return the coins will brings calamity into your life.
i do not use my phone for anything and everything i have is 2fa. i almost never view http sites and if i do i take proper precautions using a no cookie browser. most attacks arent actual malware on your computer but from the networks you view your accounts. when i do view my exchange accounts through my phone i use api keys that are limited to trading on that exchange. all my password are pseudo generated and so long i couldn't tell you what they are. remember when dealing with a big chunk of capital that you need to take all the precautions necessary and the more capital you have the more of a target you have on your back. good luck.
Thats some serious money ! Sorry for your loss...seems people are getting sophisticated thanks to the blockchain technology and wanting to get rich fast. hope you find a way to cover the loss
