I'd guess brute force attack.. sorry about that sucks.

Make a new account and I'll send you 3 NXT

BTW i think the nxt client recommends super long passwords.

What was your password?

10 chars, combination of alphabets, numbers and symbols.
Possible brute force attack but I would like to know how is it done. If the attacker has access to my network and PC then I need to do something about it. If it is just some sniffing and cracking passwords then I'd say that it is not that secure comparing to Bitcoin.

I only have 3 NXTs in my wallet and they are transferred to this address 10411181763421717624.
It is not much NXTs but I have absolutely no idea on how it got stolen.
Link to my address: http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=3000&acc=14639139826719190448

I have never sent any NXT to anyone or any exchanges. Having troubles syncing my wallet, I looked up the blockchain, only to find that it
was transferred to this address somehow. My computer is with me all the time and I have a fairly secure password.

The point here is that NXT is not secure as it seems and can be easily compromised. I was trying to get started with NXT and was a believer of NXT until now, I have no idea how it happened but I will investigate more and will update on this matter. If anyone with similar experience or any solutions, I will appreciate your insights. I am trying to assume that I have downloaded malware that steals NXTs but so far my files are clean.

Any thoughts?
