First of all, don't panic. Don't do the ridiculous things that others have suggested, such as wiping your computer.

I have received those emails before and I have never lost any BTC from my Blockchain.info wallet. It may have been a phishing email. I have definitely received those. I hope you didn't click on any of the links in the email.


it wasnt phisihing email,

whatever i  do what i want to do from the response from forum and from my friends , also the bc.info is down atm.
no need to worry i receive those emails too i ignore them. i assume that you've set alias at bc, change it to something long/remove it if you don't want to receive the email again.

oh yes , yes, i setted the alias on bc . and used the same nick everywhere on gambling sites etc etc someone try to open walelt using alias lol .. gg Fast

ok , i enabled my 2fa , and did`nt get any thread form last 48 hours.
run a full antivirus and malware scan on your computer, or even reinstall windows to be sure you have a clean and fresh start.
then create an offline wallet, preferably paper wallet to keep your majority of coins there and on your online wallet keep what you want to spend

I guess i already did this also my avast daily scan my whole pc .

1:) i agree with but i think if he dont know my wallet password he cant do anything , whatever it is i cashed out my all some 1.13 btc`s Tongue
2:) this one is possible.

Windows 7 , Blockchain.info ,
Well if he has infiltrated it he could get your password easily via different methods.
I suggest that you format your system immediately and start fresh.
What do you mean you cashed out, converted to fiat? You could have just moved it to another wallet.  Smiley

cashed out in my bank .
also changing my wallet too ,
thinking to change my pasword ,

somebody help me how to know the private keys of bc.info addys.
if your blockchain.info wallet is compromised or even if you think it was, getting your privatekeys and importing them is not a good idea. since the hacker can have access to them.
but if you want it is under import/export section.

besides if you have 2FA enabled even if the hacker has your wallet identifier and your password, there is no way he can access your wallet without having the 2FA password, or also having access to your phone or Email where you receive your 2FA password.

it's better to do (but faster):
1- In a safe computer with an anti-virus and firewall enabled (Linux is best), login to your blockchain account.
2- change your password.
3- transfer your coins in another account. (a client is better) but if you want a online wallet take coinbase or XAPO.
i already losed about 0.0005 btc long time ago on blockchain when i didn't activated 2FA and just someone sended my money after he have my password.

if your device is infected, changing your password will not help. in fact, you should not use your computer for anything until you wipe it back to factory settings and start again.

Okay. You have 2FA on your wallet?

The most likely scenarios are:
1) A hacker has infiltrated your system
2) You've been infected by malware/keylogger.

What operating system are you using and what software (AV, Anti-malware)? I would recommend that you do not log onto your email using the system that you've used to log into blockchain.
I recommend changing the password on your email to something long for the time being (including letters and symbols). Don't save your password, write it down on a piece of paper.

hi there guys. today i was playing on luckybit. while i recieve a notification on my mobile saying that authorize login attmept , i look the ip address and the browser,

ip address was from USA
and the Browser was spider or spooder i dont remember for now .
Ofcourse i m using blockcahin.info

should i change my wallet ?

make a new wallet, don't give the hacker a little chance to get your coins.. Its better to be safe than sorry. Make sure you're using a device that is clean or free from any malware.

it could be also that you entered blockchain from another computer or using another ip with tor or vps/vpn, did you remember something like that?

If you received the "authorize login" mail from Blockchain info wallet and if you're sure that it is not a phishing mail then I guess it's safe to say that someone else knows your Identifier and he attempted to log-in to your Blockchain wallet because those emails are only received when one tries to log-in from a new browser.

I think you should move your funds to a safer wallet, a desktop wallet like Electrum is what I'd advise. But before that do a clean install of the OS you're using and install a proper anti-virus/malwre because I think your computer might be infected.

Obviously someone knows your account alias so assume your details or computer is compromised. The email could also be a spoof or phishing mail though. Have you checked? I'd get a safe computer and change your wallet or send the coins to another safe wallet.

yeah it might be a phishing email, triple check the sending address!
