I'm very sorry to hear this happened to you. IT has a strange feeling to it, almost as if there was some error or bug that sent your coins? My questions are:

Was your computer on when this happened?

Was your wallet online when this happened? if yes, Why do you leave the wallet online? And is the wallet encrypted?

What wallets are you using? Have you downloaded any altcoin wallets recently?

Again, I'm sorry this happened. If you can provide some more information we might be able to make some more conclusions.

Did you make any btc transactions yourself near the time (within a couple of days) of these transactions?


Yes i did, but 4 days before, the 27th, was my last (own) transaction (outwards), since then only receiving, untill that moment on the 31st, which i wasn't..

So the money is on this adress: 1FmMasfuEE6wtpzdWiVnDynfJ5tyyVbhP3
and there is "only" 0.56 BTC. That does not sound like a hacker to me. They would have moved the money and switched adresses several times. Do you have backups of your wallet(s)?
I wish i had a backup, but i dont..

Im guessing your pc is infected. Maybe d virus created the Tx on your pc using ur address as change.

I have no idea what could've happened on this one, except that my pc is as clean as a whistle. Hitman Pro found nothing, Avira found nothing, Spybot found nothing. So.. i don't know.

I doubt you will be able to get it back, bitcoin is a one-way payment system and it can't be sent back without acceptance of the other person.

You're right.

Respons from blockchain.info:
I am sorry to hear of these transactions that you did not initiate. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen, because your private information was somehow obtained. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as blockchain.info. By design, Blockchain.info never has access to users' accounts or bitcoins. If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your bitcoins are safe with blockchain.info. There is also no way to reverse a bitcoin transaction. In the future, to ensure your account is protected with an extra layer of security, always enable two factor authentication. I would also highly advise against ever using this compromised wallet again, as someone else clearly has the private keys in it. I wish more could be done to get your funds back to you, but the nature of bitcoin makes it nearly impossible.

... it your theory would be the truth - how it is possible that someone steals your BTC? Smiley

very sorry to hear about your issues.  I also have issues that need to be addressed and my security is probably the same as yours and my virus protection has been acting sketchy lately.  Bet thing I can think of is store coins in an offline wallet for maximum security and only have some funds in a less secure wallet to be safe in the future.

I think the result was a keylogger, I cant think anything else. But, if you can contact blockchain they may try to help you out? It doesnt hurt to try with a slight chance to retrieve funds if they use blockchain as well.

Explain your story and you may get some result from that. Doesnt hurt to try right?

I sent them an email, let's see what comes out of that ...

Never keep more than you can stand to lose in one place.

I wouldn't keep more than 1/10th of my money in one place if I had enough that I actually cared about it.

This goes for fiat as well as cryptos.

So, your bank account is always empty then? ;-)

Luckily i still had 0.1 0,03 and 0,05 stored on exchanges, so not all is lost, but still, does feel a bit painfull.

Yeah, i reckoned that the miners would be false-positives. What do you mean by trying 'listunspent' ?
-snip-

My qt is in german, so the translation might be wrong, but if you rightclick on the trayicon there should be "debugwindow", which can also be opened from the main window -> help -> debug window.

Open console and type "listunspent" it will show you a list which might still include your missing btc.

Well, out of safety i already deleted my wallet(s) and went the offline-usb method (multibit with offline keys and stored wallet).

The only unspent values i could find are these (which also include my BTC's):
https://blockchain.info/tx/e07dc809cd1dda15d890549405143992100cfdf45c089dbf04d386491cb8a0e3 which came from this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/7b077f3971b7155074f1e58b81ce6f91735265f2460b5a2345ddeb99afd0d4c3

- Did you setup your Bitcoin-QT as a server? If yes, did you use random RPCUSER and RPCPASS or some dictionaty based password?
- Did you import any private keys into Bitcoin-QT?
- Have you been using your address on blockchain.info (maybe imported your private key)?

Never have i set it up as a server
Never have i done that either
Never have i done that, untill now, to check where the funds went to, but not importing my private key.

This is really strange. I would like to help you find out what happened, as I have sent someone 0.01 BTC and it was wiped almost immediately by an account starting with "1brain".
He claims not having used any brainwallet whatsoever.

Yes, and i've been using this fine for over 6 months, no issues what soever. Just wanted to update my wallet with funds through trading, and saw it was almost empty..

My BTC's are in this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/e07dc809cd1dda15d890549405143992100cfdf45c089dbf04d386491cb8a0e3 which came from this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/7b077f3971b7155074f1e58b81ce6f91735265f2460b5a2345ddeb99afd0d4c3

Firewall in my router works better then (any) firewall on my pc that i know of, and personally, i hate firewalls, but that's just a matter of opinion.

Layered security my friend.  Routers have been compromised in the past due to bugs, exploits, and just generally bad coding.  If your router has wifi and an attacker is able to connect then he is already "inside" your network.

Yep, back to firewalls it is, apparently.
