dose anyone know if its possible to tag the scam address in question with a permanent warning message?

That all sounds reasonable and wise.

Question for both of you:

Where did you get these addresses.  In other words exactly how were they generated?

Are you both using the same wallet?  Tell us exactly how you are using the wallet:  mobile, website, old plugin, new plugin, etc.

Also, tell us the exact version of the wallet you are using.


Well the address used is a single block chain address no other address's generated with that account,
i use the wallet as temporary low yield storage for the purpose of buying mining hardware on the same pc it was generated,never moved the address or signed it in anywhere else.  

but i have recently found out that there's a block chain spoof website that snatches your login details when you sign in ,im not sure but i might have inadvertently signed in to the spoof website and gave them the login details to my account stupid i know i should have checked the URL which i normally would ,
the website is down now and it was right at the top of Google search it was back up briefly but went down with in the hour ,there is a post on here somewhere about this spoof website  

i have now changed all block chain passwords and have enabled the secondary password along with automatic wallet back up sent to my email (my email is encrypted) with sms alerts and logs turn on,


 

Yes, it is useful to have a encrypted wallet backup at your email, when you lose your computer or other wallet files, you can retrieve your wallet back using that. However, make sure that all your wallet backups that you have are all encrypted with a strong password. If a hacker manage to get your unencrypted wallet backup, all your coins are gone.

lol, you're right 
thanks anyway 

how about the email wallet backup?
do u think it's good to have wallet backup at your email?

With that question, I assume you already have an unencrypted backup wallet file.
The easiest way to encrypt it, is to use an archive software such as 7Zip to zip it with a strong password.

where can i encrypt my wallet backup?

It depends on the following:




Enabling 2FA will help in some case (like when your password has been leaked), but not in some case (like when someone has your unencrypted wallet backup).

How common is this? I have google authenticator on all my accounts,hope that at least helps.


Sorry for your loss op.

sounds serious. try to find what you two (mean djob001 & OP) have in common. new soft installed, new registrations, suspicious webs visited etc.
maybe that 'poker site' is clue

sorry for your loss guys, it's hard but you learn a lesson

i was hit yesterday by the same address (1EJcTLZNfy9HALtgovGuUJbLi1ERmoo6uZ) this address stole my btc ,im not sure but i think it belongs to a poker site or someone that works there  (cant really say which because im sure your not aloud to say names)  and is somehow using it to steal btc,after your first deposit in btc from your own wallet address ,also i have all security features in place sms and email but they were still able to get the btc,just glad it was 0.2 and not my offline wallet

no matter what you did its already lost you'll learn your lesson so be careful next time there is a lot of thief out there who is very hunger for bitcoin just think about that we are in the jungle and predator is everywhere

First, read the thread. Second, use common sense, how would he know who the thief was? It's like saying, "I got robbed" and the police asking you "Who did it"....
WTF.

Do you have 2FA enabled on blockchain.info?

Sorry to hear your loss, but there is no way you can recover your bitcoin.
What you can do now is to scan for malware, use different passwords on different sites, and enable 2FA whenever possible.

What do you mean "someone send it the wallet that you don't know"? who is someone? You mean someone else has control of your wallet? And if It's sent you wont get it back anyway.

and .. not using an offline wallet .

Hmmm, this guy has hacked a lot of accounts apparently

Well like I said:


So...

- Do you have a weak password? (most especially: short? 1 word with no special characters?)
- Do you use any password multiple times on different sites? And specifically your blockchain wallet password?
- Do you have proper protection against viruses?
- Did you ever make a backup of your wallet?
