Sorry to hear this happened Sad

That is a lot of btc. This is a great reminder to everyone and myself to do 2F whenever offered.

Yeah man, I wouldn't sleep for 2 weeks if I have lost that much BTC.

leigh2k14,
You said you used to compile wallets from source, is that on windows or linux?

Linux mint.

Not me, but I just wanted to say that people reading this should really use 2FA before they also learn the same pricey lesson you and I did (it was a long time ago for me).

I was lazy and thought that nobody would hack me, damn I was wrong.

If your reading this and don't have 2fa set up, DO IT!

Yep, I was lazy to set 2fa too Sad

All the coins I had there were dumped and I can see a lot of "stupid" orders in my history...

What I can say? SET 2FA!!!

leigh2k14, have you been using the same password anywhere?

No, I only have one password for bittrex.

Did you lose much?

I'm going to format both my machines, I suggest you do the same mate.

I don't remember exact amounts, but it was about 1.5BTC in total, so not that much, fortunately!
No, it's not connected with the machines I'm using and the password is not that easy, so I'm wondering how could that happen at all Huh

Same here mate.

If any more people were to get hacked i'd say that bittrex had been compromised, but just two I would have to say no.

leigh2k14,

Did you use the same email and password for any mining pool or other sites?

No, I haven't mined for quite some time.

It's unique to bittrex.

Sad that you are scammed today and good you earn us to use always 2FA protection.

When you use 2FA is this always going without problems. What happens when you lose your phone can you still enter 2FA?

You write your private key down on some paper.

Even though it is not the most safest method, I always save the qr image to my backup folder, just in case if I loose my phone.

Writing down the private key would be the safest method (I don't remember if they show private key on Bittrex while generating QR for 2fa) . Test that private key to restore the code, to make sure you did not make any spelling mistake.

Sorry for your lost dear hope some members here including bittrex would donate some btc to cover some of your lost. the 2 factor authentication is very important i learn this lesson too .

How did the hack happen? Did your computer get hacked or did someone guess the password?

I always get an email to confirm a withdraw, does that mean 2FA is active? I never asked for it to be activated.

I'm guessing they either knew our emails and brute forced somehow, or we have a keylogger installed on our machines.

It doesn't matter about the withdrawal, they set a high price on a coin that they own and dump your coins, then buy the coins from them selves, so no withdrawal.

I don't have a Bittrex account, so I'm not concerned, but I would like to know how you were hacked, to protect my YoBit account in case of.

I would like to know as well, we're still trying to figure that one out.

Make sure you have that 2fa enabled.

So far it's only two of us.
