Offline wallets on a USB with armory and other shit also ain't safe, nothing is safe, this is the internet.

Offline wallets aren't connected to the internet. That's what offline means.

USB stick is the achilles heel. But more secure than online computer, i agree

Just don't use Gox at all. Personally, I would recommend that you store your BTC in an offline wallet or in a very secure online wallet (blockchain.info, inputs.io, etc.) and then only transfer to exchanges for a short period of time when you are actually ready to exchange them.

Online wallets are not safe, period.

Offline wallets are very very safe, if done correctly.

Bite me

to the OP
you have a trojan or logger on your machine
1) clean your machine of all virus and learn how to do safe surfing.
2) never ever ever use the same username and password on any site
3) having cleaned your machine go and change your email address passowrd
4) go to lastpass.com and generate a good password and associate it with your newly cleaned email
5) change all your forum username | passwords to something different for each one.

Use 2FA if you absolutely must use an online wallet.

Use as much security options as you can when you have money on internet and don't keep it online for a long time.

You should install new windows or whatever you are using to delete that virus just to make sure that your computer is clean and no virus can acess you wallet or mtgox.

You should always use 2FA .....
And use difficult password, secure your computer, and do not go into fishing attempts.

It seems like you didn't have 2FA enabled. You should use (when withdrewing) it for a added level of security, consider yubikey or G.AUTH

Did you use an online wallet?

I had my $175 on my Mt.Gox account, they bought 1.22 bitcoins and then sent the BTC to himself.
