1. show us your gox wallet on the blockchain
2. yes or no- Gox is saying you have zero transactions in your account when you claim to have 18 pages
soemone is lying, and ive got a feeling it isnt gox.

I'm not sure what you mean, but here are some screenshots of the rough transactions.

Gox claimed nothing was withdrawn, and i check, nothign was. everything in my account was traded as a loss. they bought high and sold low. I have no idea why someone would do this... Huh

Sounds like Mt Gox needs to start providing people with Authenticator keys, I am surprised they aren't already doing do as one of the largest if not the largest bitcoin exchange to protect themselves and their customers.

It wasnt all coin, half fiat have BTC.

it was there because i actively traded it everyday. I was even trading it till the night before the attack. Woke up the next morning and realised i could not log into my MtGox account anymore.

I still have some in an offline secure wallet thankfully

My antivirus definitions update daily, but i think i need a malware scanner too

2 Factor Authentication is the biggest mistake that i failed to implement. Still hurts but its an expensive lesson learnt.

Futhermore, MtGox support has contact me and advised me that no fiat or BTC withdrawls were ever requested....
This is striking me as odd. they claim that i never had any coin or fiat in my account i last logged in. It makes me so mad when I have 18 pages of transactions that happened in one day in a currency I have never traded in before! looking at the transactions it seems they traded all my coins onto the market at a loss! i dont understand why they have done this!!? Huh

Why didn't you use two factor authentication to secure your account?

why did you leave 60.000 USD on that account in coins (even worse than in dollars).

why didnt you store the coins on a secure wallet?

why is you antivirus program 3 years old? (correct right Roll Eyes

? )

Wait... so are you saying that your money is still there, but someone converted it to RUB and traded it at a loss? So they were not able to withdraw it?

Can you see where the coins were withdrew to? I recommend using Ubuntu or mac in future. Damn that sucks! Ask mtgox what the email address was changed to. Then if you get it, message them with something and try and get a reply. You can then get their ip from that message. It's a long shot but perhaps worth a try.

why would a hacker that just stole 60k from you would even open your message on a throwaway mailbox? It is more likely that he'll feel bad and return the money

i.e., nope, not going to happen, that money is gone.

Man, that blows. I find myself not having the urge to be extremely secure and cautious with the crypto I mine because somehow in my head, it feels like a game and like it's not real money. I have to constantly pinch myself and tell myself to go overboard with security of my boxes where my wallets are stored, secure authentication (two factor, completely different password for EVERY account), etc. There's nothing anyone can do for you when your crypto gets stolen. If you're not doing EVERYTHING you can to secure it, you might as well have $60k in cash sitting on your living room floor with the front door wide open. As long as it has a lot of value and liquidity, treat it like a giant pile of cash and don't take any chances when protecting it.

*Edit:

Also, don't keep crypto in exchanges or pools for too long. Keep your money in wallets stored on your own hardware and make damn sure it's hardened and secure. If possible, build a machine just to store you wallets, lock it down, and make multiple backups, including occasional backups to USB that you keep in your pocket - password protected and encrypted USB by the way. And encrypt every wallet.

Oh man, so sorry to hear that. It won't compare at all, but my btc-e account was just hacked yesterday and I lost $200. Didn't have 2FA on. I know the frustration at least. And I learned a lesson.

It really is the wild west. You have no idea how secure any of these exchanges are. How many times has Gox been hacked?
There isn't much you can do about it either. Good luck though, I hope the police/support helps.

I'm really sorry to hear your case... It's sad to learn things in the hard-way.

Do not have a money in an account without 2-factor authentication. Goodluck my friend

Two factor authentication or Storing them in Paper form if not trading. COld Storage ftw.

Hindsight is a bitch though.

I feel bad for you man - especially with it being xmas

Consider it a lesson learnt......NEVER keep a large amount of value in the wildwest of online wallets....there is a VERY high chance you will loose it.

I guess if you did it once, then you can do it again....unless you invested $60k of your own fiat....then I feel very sorry for you.

I will install these later. because i think i will do a complete format first.

File police report first, you may give the HDD to police so they may analyse for malware.
