Trust me. I'm on a boat, with a personal crappy old laptop. No one has been near this. My internet is 150kb/s tops and I hate it!

Additionally, think about anyone else that has access or come in contact with your computer or any usb drive in the past. Additionally, since you are on a boat with a 150 kb/s connection that also brings 2 concerns to my mind : 1) you aren't keeping your windows box patched because of your extremely limited bandwidth. 2) You are using a wifi hotspot that is compromised.

The fact that you are so incredulous that you have been compromised is a security concern in itself as their are so many ways to be compromised with the way you store bitcoins. At most you should be upset and slightly shocked that you were compromised but aware that you made some security shortcuts and need to do better in the future.
No one I know knows about bitcoin

Probably someone does.  He's following you.

NEw address has a new tag:

https://blockchain.info/address/1FpsRjQXFgiGzLNwyb2UC7bDNkj99xwdnf

wtf does that mean?!?


...
it seems that this guy now that you was using electrum, at least the tag indicate so, could it be that he is exploiting electrum weakness?


Wait, can I say one thing? .... and if it is only a joke by the OP (I'm only asking, but it could be possible).




Why I am thinking the same thing? Sorry about your coins OP, but this is really strange TBH.

Thank god I'm using armory.

It's not a joke guys  Embarrassed

"SWX" doesn't refer to any common initialism that fits in context so its likely his handle or who this hacker is trying to pin this theft on.

What version of electrum are you running? Where did you download it from?  Since you are using an SPV client what server did you connect to?

Ok thanks for the reply, however it is also interesting that the 'hacker' used 0.001 btc as fee :

https://blockchain.info/it/tx/c8ab6cc860112ffc29f5a778b8f47fe862b9412ca96c13538468febe268f6d87

It was not necessary in my opinion, and we know he also used the blockchain.info web-wallet to move those bitcoin.




It is only a blockchain.info tag , and it appears only in that site BC.info

It seems Electrum's security has been breached.

"3lectruM fail. More2come SWX"

Looks like there is a small chance this is a whitehat hacker who will return the funds and this is his way of proving the vulnerability , teaching you a lesson, and/or having fun.

He's implying an Electrum vulnerability...?

Exactly... What's going on? Any other reports of this??

Which version of electrum have (or are you) used (using) ? I think you didn't reply to my past question (maybe you didn't noticed it).

The output can not be converted to an address.

Edit: looks like it can now. I thought bc.i did not show an address when I checked initially. Probably just lack of coffee.

Windows is up to date, I don't think the hotspot is conpromised. It's a very good system, I know the owner of this place and I've talking with the IT to try and get me some more speed! and I use VPN anyway (which I had to pay for.
