Wow, that's a lot of bitcoin.
What is the most secure wallet ?
The most secure wallet is one you control yourself. Blockchain.info is great for convenience and ease of use but it falls down in the area of security - like all web wallets. The most secure wallets are probably bitcoin-qt, armory, or a paper wallet.

There's nothing blockchain.info can do to help you get your coins back.
If it cheers you up in any way, I've lost over 30 BTC over the past year to scammers and lost wallets...

I'd consider your 2BTC loss as lucky. Many of us have lost much much more experimenting with Bitcoin.
So you've lost more than 2 BTC "experimenting?" As in gambling and getting scammed?
Doing that, you already know the risks and you did it knowing there was a chance you could have lost the money.
The OP got the funds stolen against his will. So if you lost the BTC gambling, getting scammed, that was your own fault.
Of course, this OP should have just used bitcoin wallet QT or have the info backed-up
I've lost more than 2 BTC via theft, learning how to properly send BTC to an address, and not doing enough research on best practices for proper wallet security. I used the term "experimenting" because I felt that it described my learning experiences (i.e. trial and error) well.
Got it. Haven't used BTC on a gambling site yet..
Also...
I'd consider your 2BTC loss as lucky. Many of us have lost much much more experimenting with Bitcoin.
It's not because someone lost more, that it is lucky to lose 2 btc ...
Maybe it was all he had.
Point taken. It's not lucky to loose any BTC
I'll revise my previous statement: As the territory surrounding a risky bet such as BTC stands, only put up what your willing to loose, write it off as a learning experience, and get back in the game!

Actually Piuk is refunding those that were affected:
Jesse James has informed me of a problem with the rng used by blockchain.info javascript clients being poorly seeded when initialised in a background webworker task. In some browsers this could lead to duplicate R values being used when signing transactions (Firefox is likely to be particularly vulnerable). This issue effects the transaction signing code only, not the generation of private keys.
Patches have now been deployed, Please ensure you upgrade to the latest version of your Blockchain.info client.
Chrome extension - v2.85
Fixefox extension - v1.97
Mac client - v0.11
Users of the web interface should clear their browsers cache before next login.
Only a handful of addresses are known to be affected thus far. Likely if you have been affected by this problem your coins will have been taken already. All affected users will be refunded in full, please PM me or email [email protected].

SpaceX and others that were affected by this issue, contact him by email (the one at the end of the post I am quoting above) or PM.
Ah, I was not aware that what the enabled the theft of coins was a vulnerability in blockchain.info's code. Still, they are getting refunded from the siteowners' pockets, and rightfully so, but technically they are not getting their original coins back.

I sure hope the community is working on finding out what the vulnerability is. So far, at least two people have said they were using blockchain.info when this happened to them. There are many more it appears that have not posted on the forum.

I doubt they will, because how do you tell it's a genuine theft or staged?
This thing is real, but I don't know if my case is included in their extent of compensationI do not question you or your experience in general, I'm simply saying it's hard to prove either way.
