Topic: my wallets were stolen just now, can any one help me? - page 2. (Read 12204 times)

i never really use the addresses from blockchain.info
if anything i add a watch only address, and when i want to sent i just put in my private key, this way only i have access to the private key,
oh and also the private is store encrypted on a persistent partition of a tails os usb,
this way im only loggin in with tails os, and thats the only way i put my private key in,

im thinkin of gettin a new address, not sure if bitaddress.org is safe to generate me a good secure privatekey ofcourse in tails with a saved version of the website and while im offline too !!!

i think im going to do that soon, and transfer some direct shares to that addresss, leaving me farther away from my money, this way i can just leave it and let it grow,

hmm or maybe use it to circulate more money? we'll see


edit: it could of been a phising site that was like blockchain, i havent seen one but thats how i got my account on here hacked, from a phising site that looked and was identicle and i just didnt notice i clicked on the link from like a chat somewhere, and thought let me log in to add or w.e.

dont know any other way that they could of stole your keys, i keep my keys offline, this way its even more difficult for me to get to them,


its really not that hard to be safe, make a tails os, boot it, make a persistent drive if u want or not, download bitaddress.org but make sure its a safe one from like github thats been up for a while and everyone trusts it,

then get offline if u want, or save it to persistent so u have a copy of it if needed,
make urself some keys,

now make a new blockchain wallet, dont really matter, ofcourse the more secure your passwords ect. is better but still dont matter,
then add your keys as watch only, and if u want to send anything just boot ur tails and persistent that has the private keys,

and make a transaction add your private key,

this procedure im currently using, im sure there is more safer, like a dedicated offline wallet, that signs transactions offline, and then put those transactions on a usb, and broadcast it from a diff computer to the network, this way your completely offline at alltimes,

but i feel this method i use is easier for now for me, and not so burdensom

I'm really sorry but I've deleted all CoinAd old backups... This is the second time someone asks me for information for the exact same reason. 

I just changed passphrase for the address  1CzAncjXYjtiXNC4CNAw4RoKdQLoi72xn . Let's see what happen.

Then it sounds like he actually has your keys. Which makes it even more strange that he left change in the address earlier. Laziness on his part? Is he having to manually enter transactions or something? It's all very odd.

So far the evidence indicates:

• The PRNG isn't the issue at hand.
• The thief has your keys.
• The money-snatching process isn't automated, at least not in any efficient way.

My best guess is, he has your password, and is actually logging onto blockchain.info and moving money from your address.

HOW he got your password is the tricky part that would reveal a lot. If you already know if your password was weak, that could solve that right away. If you DON'T believe you have a weak password, then likely your system is compromised. (There's a way to test that, but it would involve spending a little more BTC, which probably isn't necessary at this point.)

How did you loose that? Same story?

I am shocked to read this I just lost 150$ and restless for many days and its a huge amount feeling sorry for you

no. i didn't do anything from this address after stolen.

You haven't tried to send money from that address recently, have you?

Thank you Jesse. I have send messenger to coinad.com . Hope to receive their reply soon.

Just now one of the lose address (1CzAncjXYjtiXNC4CNAw4RoKdQLoi72xn )made 2 new transaction. this address is 1dice1e6pdhLzzWQq7yMidf6j8eAg7pkY for SatoshiDICE 0.0015% . What should i do now for next?

I did a bit more transaction following ... it appears another address implicated with the thief address is 13KLNHPWLtWKTtKtr4fY5pu4Di4aQVLzPf.  This address received a coinad payout on 2013-04-10 07:54:10.

Coinad probably has the guy's email address.  Could be a dead end if their policy prevents them from handing this information out, or if they don't validate email addresses of members, or if he gave them a throwaway address.

Keep in mind, my evidence linking these two addresses is not 100% ... but it's pretty high.

Another possible lead is that the thief seems to think using Satoshi Dice a few times after a heist is an effective laundering technique.  In this transaction he apparently submitted his gambling transaction directly to blockchain.info ... so depending on how much they log, they may have the IP address of the thief.  This could also be a dead end if he's using Tor or some other proxy ... but seeing as he apparently thinks using Satoshi Dice makes tracking stolen coins harder, he probably isn't the brightest hacker in the world.

This question was answered above directly by the man himself.  Unfortunately your coins are not lost due to the RNG bug:

get answer from Jesse James (blockchain.info) as bellow  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=277595.new

I'd like SYTECH's help. But How can I contact them?

sorry, my bad Post deleted.

Really sorry to hear this happened OP

Thank you very much. I just contact with blockchain.info  . I'll do as they asked and let all know the next step.

regular blockchain wallet

Was this a brain wallet or a regular blockchain wallet?

Not yet. I just email  <[email protected]> today.
