Painful to hear. However, it's somewhat of low price tuition for higher learning. I recommend enabled in the security settings:

(1) 2FA + (2) Login guard which requires additional authentication for new browser detection.

If the above two are enabled, it would be very very very difficult to steal coins from your wallet.

You might have clicked on a phising link a while back and the scammer just waits dormant until you have a large transaction. Why didn't you activate 2FA? It would prevent this kind of stuff. You can even give out your user name and PW, but no one will be able to withdraw unless they have your personal device.

2FA does not work quite that well (at least not all the time). There are always potential ways around 2FA on websites. I would consider it to be reckless if someone is careless about their password simply because 2FA is enabled. 2FA should only be an additional security method, not the only security measure.

What way does one get around 2FA? Could someone brute force 2FA such as google AUTH ?

Various sites have had ways to get around to needing to input the 2FA code, or being asked for the 2FA code. I vaguely remember an example of a website allowing a user with 2FA enabled for someone to login via the API with just the username and password.

In theory it would also be possible to have 2FA disabled if you were to contact customer service and claim you are having difficulty receiving text messages with your 2FA device (social engineering).

it is very likely that your bitcoins were stolen because you logged into a fake localbitcoins site by accident and the site recorded your name and password.

Scammers pay for ads on google and when people type "localbitcoins" into google, the fake site is listed first because it is a paid ad. People click on the ad and log in because it looks just like the real site.

Lol really bro I've made 50 purchases on localbitcoins.. It was someone I used before got he coins then 10 minutes later they were withdrawn no password or anything weirdest thing ever

I don't understand exactly what happened. You said that you purchased .8 BTC from someone on LBC, was it a face to face trade? If so then the seller would have had to release escrow for the bitcoin to be available in your account. You seem to imply that someone somehow withdrew bitcoin from your account. I do not see what the person you bought from has to do with anything if this was the case. I also do not see how you know the coins were withdrawn with no password.

No it wasn't the seller.. I bought the coins then 10 minutes later someone withdrew them.. Never hit a fishing link never used same password or name on any site.. I'm so confused how I got hacked

How do you know you never clicked on a phishing link? You could have easily clicked on a link that would capture your login information, forward it to LBC and log you in if the credentials were correct. This would steal your credentials while hiding the fact that they were stolen from you.
