blockchain is very secure, but only if you enable all of the security features.
you must enable the email to verify, then make sure you have a secure 2fa enabled gmail account.
then enable the 2nd password.. this must be different then your site password, also make sure your gmail password is also different..
then when you log in, you will get 3 security checks..
one blockchain will send you an email with a link. two you must sign into gmail with 2fa, and three you need the 2nd password.

That wallet address has only ever received bitcoin and never sent any, check your wallet again more than likely you are doing sumthing wrong, but bitcoin is still there.
Sso it makes sense that there is only incoming transaction.
Weird thing about it is the amount of the transaction. I wonder if it was the whole balance of the wallet and if not, why would the thief transfer only 0.01 BTC and not all, when he had an access?
you are right a really big question why the thief didn't send all of his bitcoin to his wallet if he has an access to his wallet. I think it because he she in needs and need that amount of money and didnt get all of his bitcoin or the problem is you do give your credential to others and you forgot thet you give it because they need that qmout of bitcoin
I think you can't do anything this time, the transaction has been confirmation on blockchain, what you can do is just for further as the previous post on this thread keep your PC/Laptop clean, if you still want to use online wallet better to activated the 2fa but if you have many Bitcoin on your wallet better is to use dekstop wallet like electrum or buy hardware wallet, this is to make your Bitcoin save and on high security
Was that the total amount of Bitcoin in the address at the time?
Also, how have you accessed that address? You would need to check any computer and phone it was accessed from to make sure you were not compromised.
Change any passwords from a clean computer and enable 2FA on any account you can.

sorry man you lost 0.01 btc
sorry man you lost 0.01 btc
All this password and security stuff is very difficult. I keep forget them or forget where I put the ones I wrote down. Its wearing me out. For m it was only small amounts to but maybe bitcoin is only for smat peoples
0.01BTC is only $7. Be happy you lost ONLY $7. The first thing you need to do is to change all the passwords and add as many security measures as you can. I got around 4 passwords for my wallet - the hardest one is required when you want to send money while the easiest is required to only get in the wallet account. That means nothing can happen to it. So far so good - no incidents yet.
Was that all money that you had in your wallet? I don't know what to do in such situation. Maybe you should to ask site's support. Probably they suggest you some solution.
Change all of your passwords. Don't fool with Antivirus programs, just format all of you devices and do a clean install. At least you didn't lose a whole lot.
Download better wallet, move your bitcoins in that wallet and you solved your problem. You will not have problems like that in the future.
I use multibitHD and I have very positive experience. Very strange that this happen on blockchain.info wallet, I thought they have much better protection.

Unfortunately, I doubt you can recieve the money back, because nobody has the information to whom the wallets belong. You better change your password, clear computer from viruses and that's it. I think you can only try to draw attention to that guy, you know, maybe it somehow was an accident. So you can send to this wallet a tiny amount of money yourself and see what happens. Maybe the owner will decide to send you your money back.
Once the transaction has been confirmed then there is nothing you can do about it . The only thing you can do is to prevent this from happening again . First is clean your PC using your antivirus . Then Activate the two factor authentication, when this is activated, hacking it will be difficult cause they must have an access to your phone. If you're planning to move your funds . Avoid online wallets . Pick a wallet that gives private keys like Electrum (PC), Mycelium (Android)
Never had such situation. Maybe you have your computer or laptop infected so someone has access to your wallet. Online wallets are risky so this may happen any time. Lucky for you the amount isn't big but someone has maybe just testing to see if the thing will work. If you have more funds there I suggest to move them in another more secure wallet.
This is serious as I use blockchain.info too but what I dont understand is that with SMS notification it means additional security but with this, I think I will have to go and activate my 2FA and for those who are suggesting desktop wallet, can you please suggest how to get one and make the fund more safe. Thanks.
This sounds a little strange.
From all I can see, the 0.01btc were nearly the complete balance op had in his wallet.
Who would want to hack a wallet for not even 8 dollar?
Besides: on october 24th, there was alreay a transaction from the wallet op has to the one the funds went today.
If op knows to whom he sent the money that time, he would have his thief.

Well, I also never like that. almost all bitcoin I, sent to the address that is not clear.
it was like a dream, there's nothing I can do, because BTC has been sent to the address that is unknown to me. Well, it happened just as I logged in with a different laptop, and I thought I was having bad luck at the time.
maybe you can not get back the bitcoin has been lost. but, I'd have to clean your laptop, and create a new wallet with the highest defense and use 2FA

I was just wondering how many of these "claims" that bitcoin was stolen are actually for real? I mean... anyone can transfer some bitcoin
from one address to another and then "claim" that it was stolen. I am not saying that this is the case, but I think shills might use this as a
method to discredit Bitcoin. < Not that Bitcoin are to be blamed, but still... >

Well if u have too many bitcoins in ur wallet then there is a possibility that people might see and hackers might try to steal it .but i advice is to change into bitcoins into fiat so that u can earn on the way and dont have to worry about being stolen.
i use blockchain
but i active sms code for entering to my wallet
is it possible that he have my backup wallet?

if by "entering my wallet" you mean like 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) then there is no way a hacker could have gained access to your wallet without having access to your phone and receiving the verification (second password via SMS) token. and if he could bypass that, it wouldn't be your fault and instead blockchain.info's weak security. but I doubt that.
also did you only lose 0.01BTC and have the rest of your balance still or was 0.01BTC it all your balance?
I think so. it is rarely to hear someone with 2 factors authentication is hacked, after all you use codes sent to your phone. I assume it is not only because your computer is not clean, but also your phone is probably not clean too. so the hacker has access to your phone.
well I do not have any idea how to return the stolen bitcoin, but you can send a message to blockchain.info.
