In my case words were not random, but it was not some recognizable or having some sense phrase.

how do they even get a copy of the wallet?  and a 15 character pass is pretty hard, unless you use a movie title, or  famous quote.   several random words is hard to beat, or am i wrong on that?

Nope, was only one password. Its not a big loss for me, i collected some free bitcoins from various sites that give them, so was not especially worried about security.

Yes, whiskers75 address 1whiskD55W4mRtyFYe92bN4jbsBh1sZut is somehow related. It is also here - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/suspicious-transaction-173134

Yes, now i think my password may be weak, it was some non obvious words and i hoped it was difficult to bruteforce 15 letters.

I am not from Tver.

I have a wallet on blockchain.info with address 1AeuWyXeQvdG1eDqht1hAc3w4t2duPU83G. Today i woke up and see that most of my bitcoins have gone with this transaction
https://blockchain.info/en/tx/c84f9ea080b9e6aad84af6daa7c6b018c62caf9615aa583ccfe5ead6228b3f7c

I never did it myself, so somebody guessed my 15 letters password and stole my coins, i think in one bunch among with 108.8BTC from other blockchain.info wallets.

Be careful!
I suggest that next time You use the LastPass plugin for Chrome and a 100 character password. That's what I do.

Blockchain Wallets with weak passwords get "hacked" all the time.

Did you use a weak password? 1 or 2 regular word and a view numbers for example?

Sorry for your loss.. So it seems bitcoin has gathered a lot of hacker attention.
It seems there is no need for goverments to waste millions to try to destroy bitcoins, hackers are doing it for them for free.
What Operating system were you using?

And change /ru/ to /en/ for english version

I never did it myself, so somebody guessed my 9 letters password and stole my coins, i think in one bunch among with 108.8BTC from other blockchain.info wallets.

Be careful!
Dude, the link is in Russian, not every body understands Russian (I do :-)).
