This was an incident which happened 2 days back and only lasted for 2 hours. The current post looks like a more recent thing.
I also recommend installing a few security extensions on your browser, for some ideas: No script & Https Everywhere.

yes i am going to reformat everything. running sophos right now. arrrggggg
You could try using tain anyalisis but I don't think you will have much luck. other than that its very unlikely you will find the person who did this and you wont be getting them back anytime soon.
Don't just create a new wallet, you need to reformat and reinstall your OS at the very least. You should also change all your passwords.
Did you install anything new recently, in particular anything cryptocurrency related?

I'm going to delet the bad wallet and start again, hopefully I will find a wallet that is harder to hack....ugh, I'm just sick...
I would suggest restoring the computers operating system. Just deleting the bad wallet and making a new one is a security risk, it sounds very likely you have contracted a Virus from somewhere. Also, I'm assuming you are using Windows by the sounds of things, You should consider making transactions on a Linux based system, even if it's a hot wallet. Ubuntu is recommended if you are new to Linux systems it's pretty easy to setup and and find your way around.
Also, you need to assume that everything on your comptuter & accounts could be compromised, so quickly restore and reinstall the operating system of your choice and change your passwords and any other sensitive data. That's your number one priority right now.

Was it a windows computer? Then it's most likely a virus. Run Sophos Virus Removal Tool and check for yourself.
I had a little over 6 bitcoin in my multibit wallet, secured with complicated password...I was going to move my btc to a cold wallet, but got busy and went to bed without even shutting my computer off. When I woke up this morning, my wallet was open and had been nearly emptied in 2 transactions.
Firstly, I've seen these threads before, and figured my security was pretty good, this thief just caught me off gaurd... I'm just confused... how did they do it? where did the money go? Is there any hope of catching these guys? I'm going to delet the bad wallet and start again, hopefully I will find a wallet that is harder to hack....ugh, I'm just sick...
here's the 6btc transaction https://blockchain.info/tx-index/41191061dee39219aad24db41fa6f08f88a4664b75e19d0e7b2e809c4279ee36
and one other 0.476 btc transaction https://blockchain.info/tx-index/16cb9a7b531f61000b935242d8486f6bd128fe64672d6a004b779f773be1f3c8
I'm really upset, and I'm trying to figure out what exactly happened, or where the money went. Can anyone help?
