Jenger - that really does suck Sad

I watched most of that FT you dominated.

I believe it's quite clear Seals had nothing to do with this and it was a case of poor personal computer security.

Jenger if you'd like to msg me personally at [email protected] I can help you lock your shit down in the best way I know how, and refer you to others that know much better that I learn from.

Also consider that if you login anywhere on any other system (phone, someone elses computer, etc) to any accounts using this password, their system could've compromised you.

Crypto is King.

inputs.io + 2Factor FTW!!!

Sorry for your loss. BTC is not like fiat. Please be more careful of your funds.

Looks like your computer was compromised, and keystrokes logged -- the attacker probably combined information from two sources: for example, knew your google password form one source, and found out your wallet address from another (like this forum?).

I believe this was part of a much larger security compromise.

SWC either is unaware it has happened or is keeping it under wraps.

Lol if seals have used your password to login into your online wallet but didn't steal from your account on their website to not expose the scam.

Use multiple levels of passwords:
Level 1 - 15 random characters/letters/numbers - Swiss bank/local bank/Paypal/Bitcoin offline wallets
Level 2 - 12 random characters/letters/numbers - Online wallets/important email accounts etc
Level 3 - 8 random characters/letters/numbers - Crappy casinos, spam websites, WoW accounts, Apple MacIGiveACrap and whatever.

I really honestly doubt it was someone that knows me. Im not much of a high roller by any means, I got lucky by winning the big btc.

I told my brother about me winning the btc. He knows nothing about BTC.

I am going to clean my computer today as best as I can but this seriously has me freaked.

The password was the same as my....

There in lies the problem.

It doesn't matter if it was a 24 character alpha/numeric/symbol mixed password if you use at two places.

You should run a virus scan, it seems to definitely be a personalized attack. Something is on your system.

Have you downloaded anything recently?

If you can find the .exe, it may be possible to analyze the .exe file and see where it is sending logs to.

I dont think SwC was breached because I had over 2btc in that account and nothing happened. They strictly went for blockchain.

Edit: Seems they moved it to here now https://blockchain.info/address/1Kc3bn3syspZqHoMRabK3CqEsc8H1WuiAo

I'm guessing:

a) your computer is compromised
or
b) blockchain.info/SwC was compromised

Could you ask the owner of seals with clubs for login logs for your account?

The password was a Norwegian professional snowboarders last name (non mainstream snowboarder) with two numbers at the end. No capitals, no weird symbols.

The password was the same as my gmail password. That and my SwC password were all the same. (Ive changed my passwords now obviously)

I don't think anyone could of guessed that on a whim in a few hours.

At 5:52am my email was breached however google claimed to of blocked them out.

At 6:51am payment was sent from my blockchain to attacker.

59 minutes it took them.

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.

Tell us a bit about the password you used on blockchain.info. Not the password itself (unless you change it first, then you can give us the actual password).

Main questions are:

How long is it?
Did you use it on any other sites?
Is it a word or based on a word or words that may have some of the letters changed (example p@ssw0rd)?

My best guess is that someone guessed your password and stole your BTC.

This has really left a sour taste in my mouth with BTC. I should of researched a bit I just cant believe I had it for all of ~ 9hrs. Was I that fucking vulnerable?

I had gotten an email from blockchain about a month ago saying someone had my identifier code, tried to access my blockchain but didn't get the password. I researched that a bit and most people said not to worry about it.

Im going to take a few days and re read all the newbie shit because I feel like I skipped over so much when it comes to securing a wallet.

bitcoin is almost physical in a sense; when someone robs you, the only way you can get your money back is if you find the criminal in question ( make no mistake stealing any amount of bitcoin from anyone is Criminal ) and press charges hope he hasn't pissed away all the funds.

I think their are some safer e-wallets out there, its just a matter of finding the right one... I personally don't use ewallets only small account on seals with clubs, things like...

and when I do use e-wallets its 2 factor auth. its really not hard to setup and you can have relative peace of mind even with a larger sum in your account.

but a paper wallet you generate offline is the only way to go for larger sums.

I have been scammed myself once or twice 200$ gift card for 40$ of BTC... type thing, learnt my lessons and moved on.
