Ah yes I guess that makes sense. I'll look into it further on the site.

THanks for the quick reply, and for helping a noob

Trying to understand what happened here.

I transferred bitcoins to a new wallet.

https://blockchain.info/address/1CKqfZgJataaMrAMgJ1M7BbeataQ3c4ReL

I can see that I received the coins, but then it appears a second transaction has moved them out again?

I did not make this transaction, can anyone help/explain?
Never had issues with transfers before, but I've only done about 10.

What steps should I take?

Thank you.

That depends on the wallet.

Is this Bitcoin Core, MutliBit, Electrum, Armory, or blockchain.info? If so, then there is a good chance you've been robbed.

Is this a wallet service such as Coinbase, BitStamp, BTC-E? If so, then you have to check with the wallet service and not the blockchain.info block explorer.

Wallet services often provide you with a "deposit address" to allow you to fund the "account", but then immediately transfer the bitcoins elsewhere for safe storage.
