Topic: Some one tried to hack my Yobit account? - page 2. (Read 1015 times)
Even one who knows your email used in yobit could send you reset email from anywhere of the world so accessing your office pc is not necessary for this, just ignore this i have also got similar reset email from cex.io few months ago.
What I wanted to say is that I feel saved only because I setup 2FA of Yobit in my home PC running Linux, also the same with my Gmail account set up a mobile phone code anytime I access the email in other computers (only at home I don't need the code).
And I don't really care about opening my Yobit also on Windows at my office although knowing is infected (I found the PC infected, but can't format it as the supervision don't let me do so) because I have the 2FA code and the hacker maximum can do is what he already have tried to do.
Bottom line is I would advise anyone keeping 2FA on every bitcoin related site that gives you this opportunity, also take very good measures when setting it up, only set it up in a well known PC of yours in which you are sure it has no malware on it in the moment you setup 2FA.

Can you contact your office's network administrator to solve the problem?
If it is infected, you should try to suggest anti-spyware that they could use if they do not already.
It is useful to add 2FA in order to greatly increase your accounts security.
They have already installed ESET 9 smart security, Advanced System care, Malware bytes premium, and Zemana AntiKeylogger and they told me everything is OK with my PC after they did all the scans. But guess what it isn't from what I am seeing, yet they continue to tell me the office PC is clean meanwhile I insist is not clean at all.

I have exactly the same with Yobit get all the time emails about forgotten password change. Got 2fa security active and did scan the used computers here and didn't find anything. I personally think they are trying random names they found on a list or whatever way they get the usernames.
This is not the entire fault of Windows.
Both operating systems have security measures (linux is stronger though)!
Also, this sounds more of a BOT attack or an attack for a known email address as your account wasn't technically logged onto.

In this time every one of us must be careful because Bitcoin is gaining greater importance , even the hackers want to collect more Bitcoin , who know , maybe the price reach 1000$ , so you must have good anti-malware on your PC and your Mobile phone , because there are keylogger programs which register every button you click , including your passwords and E-mails and it sends it to the hackers .
I suppose someone just managed to get your email from another Bitcoin related site and tried to recover your password.
Unsure about blaming Windows, but Linux limits the malware/virus possibility.

Well as you know I have Linux in my home and its top notch security cannot by any means be hacked easily especially when the user is very much aware of how to have a good security practice.
However I use Yobit also in my office and there I know my PC is infected, I have 2FA in my Yobit account and also 2FA on my gmail so nothing have happened to me, only I saw a message in my gmail, that Yobit password change request which had expired also.
Just wanted to share this, and to tell you all Windows is not good for keeping any account bitcoin related. If I had not 2FA on my gmail and Yobit now my coins there would have been gone. Be careful and do you own due diligence.
