It is not that large and the most important thing right now is , I am not hacked , my computer is not hacked . It is just google spider that found it. I am nto going to get paranoid about it from now on.

My funds are transfered already Cheesy

One of the first things I did.

Now, how can the spider robot can get your identifier link ?
I think there are add-on / extension to send any links to robot spider Sad

If you still want to use blockchain, maybe you can ask blockchain.info for new identifier / you can make a new account

Now that we have narrowed down the access attempt to Google spider, I don't think there is much reason to panic.
Nobody is going to login into your account and steal your Bitcoins.

The only worry you should have is where the spider got the link to your username.

The best you could do now is create a new account on Blockchain and transfer funds from old wallet to new one.
If the funds are very large, I would suggest moving most of it to cold wallet and keeping only a small amount on Blockchain.

Seems i found solution to my problem too.
Though i never ever posted my identifier or link anywhere .
But well! idk, it happened the same day when i tried to authorize it from my new laptop.
I think first i tried from my laptop , it wasn't working so i did it from my mobile, maybe that's why ?

This is very interesting:

Browser: Robot/Spider

And if you look for the IP 66.249.93.137 you can see it belongs to Google.

So it seems the link with your UUID is published on some website and Google's spiders just followed it.
Any idea where that link could be published?

Unfortunately like I said she deleted the email , even from the deleted section.

No. I mean the email you got from blockchain asking you to authorize the access.
What we're saying is it's possible that wasn't really from them.

Before getting all paranoid and following ridiculous and unhelpful advice, please consider this:

everybody gets those emails. It is called "phishing".

The scammer send the emails to thousands of bitcoin users and hopes that someone will use the links in the email to log in to their account.

This is real possibility.

OP could you share the exact email you got? Remove exact links and leave just domain names.

I don't think so , he could just log into my email and authorize himself so he could get all my coins anyway? The thing that kept him was authorization at first and he can get that from my email anyway?

I came back home to check everything else , he still seems to not logged into anything other then just trying to get into my coins once at that time. There is no possibility that someone happened to know my identifier somehow right? There must be some keylogger or malware or whatever must be involved?

If someone knows my private key , can he know my identifier?

Also I get them to a safer location now.

Thanks everyone for your helps.

you can try to transfer the fund to another blockchain accout, or get them out from them directly, if you feel unsafe

There's no reason to do this. The only information the attacker has is OP's short name. They don't even have his UUID.

still there is some chance, that his e-mail can be stolen in the future, better to take extra precautions and move those btc from there

Yeah i know unfortunatetly . Lets say i have a keylogger (thiugh this person only tried to access my wallet only all other websites are untouched) would win7->win8-> formatting would help? I am considering getting a new vomputer anyway . Eventually this looks like it is definetly be over if i get a new computer right?

Reformatting will do the trick. It's like having a brand new computer. You could use ubuntu instead as well. Very unlikely you'll get any viruses or keyloggers on that so your coins will be much safer than on windows.

Yeah i wont move anything to the new computer other then some pictures and documents in word and excel . Is there any possibilty of pictures or documents be contiminated? I dont think so but it doesnt hurt to ask.

Also if he has something sophisticated to find my identifier why hasnt he touched anything else?that suspense is right out of /r/nosleep for me.

Usually pict or video not effected, maybe the hacker give your computer some malware or something scary from pishing site. Better to install anti-keyloger, clean your pc or better to backup your data, transfer your btc to safe wallet, too many blockchain complain from user better to move your coin to desktop wallet or hardware wallet.

Examples of cases that can be found, the A promised gift to the B 0008 BTC / wallet, to get the gift Person A asks private key wallet made before the month of May, and yougive the private key of your wallet to him then do not be surprised if the contents of your Bitcoin will expire or be reduced gradually as the A already has the private key of your wallet on which heimported into his wallet services so your wallet is already in the hands of A, if person A wants to take or send Bitcoin is in your wallet to wallet address other then the A can do so without the need to go into your wallet service account. Never give the private key of your wallet

Have you been trying to point this towards the CLAMS giveaway by Justdice?
It seemed doubtful to me too that why would they ask someone's private key in chat to be able to check whether the address was fund before so and so month, and will give some CLAMS at their site itself, but yes, I credit them based on them processing withdrawals of those CLAMS.

If somehow Keyogger has been installed on your PC it will affect only your current system. If you format it with a CD/DVD and install a fresh copy of windows then you're safe.

Yes, you won't have any problem unless you mistakenly visit any malicious/Phishing website.

Scan those files before moving to new PC. You can also scan file on virustotal.com (Online Scanner up to 128mb).

Either re-formatting or getting a new computer will solve it for now.
The problem is you could get it again, or it's even possible you have malware in the backup files you get and you may pass it to your new computer when restoring your files Sad
