Topic: ROBBED - page 2. (Read 3910 times)
from the op it looks like your PC was left on and online. I think it must be from some malware gettinginto your PC. if there is a program to view system network logs, u might be able to know exactly what happened. it also best to use Linux with your bitcoin wallets
STOP USING WINDOWS FFS!
Goodluck trying to get the average joes in bitcoin then
I as well have a Multibit wallet set-up on my P.C. but for some odd reason felt placing money(BTC) in this particlar wallet wasn't right. Just for hearing of this I will no doubt dispose of it!
Who knows maybe Multibit took advantage from you leaving your account open and took your coins knowing there was no way of finding out???
Face it You got Goxed!

Yeah, it's my own damn fault for leaving those coins in the hot wallet. I guess I let my gaurd down.
My password was 16 characters, numbers and made up words... Not sure how they got past that? My btc in cold storage is untouched, I download a lot of music, and occasionally a movie, however I have been visiting viooz which is a bootleg streaming movie sight from Russia... So I dont know about that...
That's great you found the address but I'm not sure where to go with it? The "security issue" with btc sure won't help with the universal acceptance. I just lost almost 3k$ and I'm fairly careful, no expert, but fairly proficient... If I can get robbed than I would say over 80% of the general population is at far greater risk.
I'm buying a ledger wallet.

Well then you should stop everything you are doing... you have a key logger on your system
Wait... now I am confused... Multibit? You must enter your pw for any multibit send. When you click transactions on that wallet in multibit does it show it? When you say u had a good password do you mean like 16+ characters using all combos? Or 6 character 15yo3x?
This is what I am wondering, how does hackers steal the passwords, do they have some sort of key loggers, if the wallet and keys were encrypted there's no way to steal those without knowing the password.
Yeah, impossible if it is a good password. Wondering how this happened

OP
I can do chain analysis if you want... from what I can tell so far...
check this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.23060;wap2
I believe your coins are now here: https://blockchain.info/address/1Bi24CRuXX1irhaQmEVqbMos62iH43FtYJ
I could do more research but it is super time consuming and maybe you can help

Somewhere in this over my head analysis is the answer to the security problem. And someone a lot smarter than I will get rich. And God bless 'em.
A super-app some day will address this need.

STOP USING WINDOWS FFS!
stop browsing the internet or even having browsers installed on any device containing your cryptos.
This is exactly what is holding back Bitcoin. I now have to have a separate computer for all bitcoin transactions. And that is unreasonable for the typical sixpack joe.
The average consumer will just say "heck no, I will just use Visa".
A solution could be a custom ASIC hardware key, wherein the private key is not accessible; it would interface with your (optionally deterministic hierarchical) wallet via USB but you would be require to press a physical button to release signatures.
Wallets would warn when balances are large enough that a hardware key is warranted.
Price could be reduced to a few $ over time.
Is there something like this already available?
I think there are setups for Rasberry Pi for this, but this needs to come down to the consumer level price and plug-and-play simplicity.
Tough break man...
Took a look at tx, helluva lot of rabbit trails as might be expected, only thing I'm getting, impressions rather than objective, is the smell of Russians.

most greedy theives do not wait weeks to raid people. so it is normally the case that whatever you installed within the last 2 weeks is the culprit.
so what have you installed recently.
the main culprits are things linked by people that know about bitcoin or where the program in question is crypto currency related.
a few people have stupidly seen a "bitcoin generator" program on youtube and downloaded it, a few others have downloaded altcoin clients, etc.
so tell us what bitcoin related programs you have on your computer so we can narrow down possible culprits and also help warn noobs what not to go near.

I believe they've linked those to Counterparty... I keep wondering how many more addresses might have been affected and we do not even know about it yet.
Just out curiosity have you checked if your address has been affected by this http://www.coindesk.com/good-samaritan-blockchain-hacker-returned-255-btc-speaks/ ?
There is reference to address list but it may be incomplete https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/reused-r-values-again-581411

This was an incident which happened 2 days back and only lasted for 2 hours. The current post looks like a more recent thing.
Yes, I've noticed... However, if you look at the second link it references bitcointalk post made last spring. It seems we have been here long before blockchain incident.
P.S Also something to look at: Someone posted this on the 9th: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/multibit-phishing-beware-888137 (Multibit phishing, beware!) So did you get an email like they got?
THanks for the link.
Or using Aviator, it's supposed to be a browser proofed from zero days exploits.
