Topic: Someone tried to get into my blockchain. - page 2. (Read 2349 times)
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?
Sounds like a phising email to me. Never click the links directly if you're not sure. Use a bookmark so you know you've got the correct address.
I think someone has made a script or something to guess UUID?
Edit
Well that wouldn't help if he downloaded malware keylogger.
He's not sure if he has downloaded a keylogger as he said his wife opened a phishing link and closed it immediately and has a antivirus installed. So, I highly doubt there's a keylogger installed.I dont even have that much coin i only have like 0.06 left right now afrer
İ bought some stuff . Would a formating help? I dont want to yse linux it sounds complicated buy i have win 7 and this could be great time to upgrade to win 8 . I am not sure if that would help tough would it? The thing in mind is they couldnt get to my coins but what if they have something else?
Just ditch your BC wallet and start using Electrum or other wallet. Someone is trying to steal your funds.İ bought some stuff . Would a formating help?

KEyloggers can be downloaded and installed within seconds and anti-viruses will not protect you against all threats. In fact, they wont protect you very well at all from sophisticated programs so I wouldn't think you're safe just because you have an anti virus installed.
The point is not only the coins its all passwords , the thing is we do not know how much information the hacker has maybe he only had the blockchain or maybe he has a whole lot more and the last one scares me . Blockchain one is easy i will just move the coins to a new one but if he is too deep inside he might have everything and maybe even will have the new ones as i change it

Antivirus can sometimes be annoying, but most of the time they are helpful. Good thing that there are no keyloggers installed or whatsoever. And as for such links, don't click those immediately and think about it before clicking as it may or might harm your computer and your funds as well.

I don't know who and I don't know how but someone tried to log into my blockchain , it send me an email if I authorize it and I deleted the email and did not authorized anything but it kinda scared me , what should I do now? Is everything alright or should I do something about it?
The best thing to do is to enable 2FA if you want to continue using your blockchain account. If you are getting worried that much, then go and transfer the wallet balance to a wallet that you have the complete control of. In that way you'll feel secure and whatever happens to your coins, it is already your fault.

Yeah i think we have the "how" locked down i told my wife about it and she said someone send her facebook friend request and she clicked the email and it forwaeded to a phising website but she says she saw that and did not put her email and password in just closed the tab and deleted the email. Would someone get this by just clicking email?
I don't think so, unless something got installed. If she really just closed the page immediately I don't see how it could steal any information.

It's been happened to me as well. I have 2FA enabled so i don't have to worry a lot. I've changed my alias name as soon i saw the email with unauthorized login attempt. It didn't happen again though i changed alias to something stupid long name with number etc..İ bought some stuff . Would a formating help?

You can change alias name and increase the length of your alias or use Electrum or some other wallet.
The problem is different here. OP doesn't have an alias, that was my first guess too.
So somebody got his long UUID.
Even tough i do not have that much valueable stuff ( couple facebook some websites etc nothing financial more like personal stuff ) i am thinking about getting rid of my old computer and getting a new one that sounds easier then linux . That would definetly work right?
Yes. Unless they have your online credentials rather than a spy on your computer. But I would say it's worth trying an Ubuntu install next to Winxx. I say this because it's free and simple, and it is a much better OS. It will make your old computer sing like new. I'm typing this on a ThinkPad I bought used for $75. That was 4-5 years ago? Unlike Windows, Linux does not junk up over time and slow down. I tried it and now I never use win. When I have to do something on a win computer I am reminded how slow and inefficient it is. Winn is always doing something? The HDD is screaming away doing God knows what. With Linux it does ONLY what I tell it to do. It's miles ahead.

Do you mean a new computer with Windows?
You would definitely get rid of any malware you may have now but again you'd be on a closed source OS so you may have the same problem in the future.

I think it would possibly fix any malware you have and may buy you some time. The problem with winxx is that you don't know what it can do. It is closed source and so you don't really own it. Using linux is not a guarantee either. But being open source it can be trusted more.İ bought some stuff . Would a formating help?

If Microsoft has a backdoor for whatever reason and the black hat hackers find out... All windows computers would be at risk. The amount you have is not a huge incentive, but since stealing BTC is a crime one will get away with it is still a risk.
Check out Ubuntu. It's free and you can install it along with windows and select it at boot up. It is no harder to use than windows. About as different as Mac is from windows.

I don't think upgrading from windows 7 to windows 8 would help.
You need to decide whether your information is worth switching to Linux.

That is scary. You are being targeted. If I were using a windows machine and the BTC amount was large I would dump it and install Linux. Even a clean virus scan does not mean you are safe. I know that seems paranoid, but paranoid is good thinking when you know someone is out to get your coins.
İ dont knot but its scary
