Topic: Stolen BITCOIN From BLOCKCAIN Wallet (Read 3404 times)

Hello everyone,

I am totally devastated because my Ripple Trade, (with Bitcoins, USD and XRP funds) wallet has been compromised and practically emptied. This happened at Gatehub, which I have migrated to a few months ago. I basically used this wallet to park my funds. Extremely worrying.

I have informed Gatehub and Ripple, however, they were unable to help me. Very disappointing. Is there anyone who could HELP me recover my stolen funds, PLEASE! I beg!

I shall give more details of the stolen funds. Also, I believe there is someone on this forum who is able to recover stolen Bitcoins etc. Please, could you contact me?

Thanking you in anticipation. I pray for help!

Blockchain.info serves a purpose for some but let it not be said that your coins are potentially left wide open. That's down to you to secure them from your end. I decided I couldn't be completely certain of that so shopped elsewhere.

While I agree it's best to have your own wallet, blockchain isn't the same as other 'online' wallets, you can download your private keys making the wallet actually yours 

Yet another horror story from the worst of the worst web wallets blockchain.info, I guess people never learn or they only learn the hard way like this case. Stop using web wallets for your own good, but no one gives a damn and they all continue telling me how secure is with 2FA. Well remember that as is the last time I tell you, if you enable 2FA in a compromised computer , the hacker has the passphrase to disable it. Stop the nonsense and protect your bitcoin, with a safe OS not Windows, a good desktop wallet, Multibit HD or Electrum, or for ultimate safety a hardware wallet. I am really tired of reading the same story over and over again against the worst service ever, blockchain.info

how do you know makicas nationality when he only made 3 posts?

I know you and him are the same guy, that's why I said he's Serbian

even if he's Croatian, it would still take him half a year to earn that amount

I find it highly unlikely, someone who had to put so much effort in into something, to keep it so unguarded

+ Blockchain sends a messege to your phone when you try to login

A thing, you forgot about?

Take your scam elsewhere before I neg you  

I don't know that makica guy and frankly i don't give a f***. I have sent that a makica guy 0.15 BTC because I CAN. I have stumbled upon that post on CROATIN btc forum (SERBIANS don't have one of those jet) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pozdrav-to-mislite-o-ovome-da-li-ima-nade-ili-da-zaboravim-1376568. I have Read it all and seen that his fellow CROATIANS just piss on him and not even one wise thing or help was said or send to him - they only telling him it was his fault what it is,and on that I agree. And now that HERO MEMBER - lol - iluvbitcoins accuses me of some scam here and on CROATIAN forum also . He did not read the post of that guy makica at all (makica is CROATIAN I think). I have done my research (on transactions and wallets before i sent my 0.15 BTC makica's way). Maybe it is fake maybe not who cares and you iluvbitcoins you owe me an apology...

Then people say Bitcoin anonymity s a got think. How the fuck is it a good thing? It just shields scammers.

He's actually Serbian

So it's even less  

And I believe it's fake, they tried to pull donations  

Average salary is 44 000 RSD, aka. 360€ a month x12 = 4300€ a year

It would take a year and a half to earn this without spending anything lol

This must be fake

Using an online wallet is not wrong, but users needs to be more careful on it. As you said, using 2FA is one way to keep the bitcoin safe from hacker or phising attempt.
And I think its better not to keep/save so many btc on an online wallet.

It is not the fault of online wallet it is his fault that he has not activated the 2fa security, why even if he was having desktop wallet and same thing hacking computer has happened then all details were to be stolen. Everything is that what type of security you are following for your wallet that gives you the assurance of the wallet. Dont always jump on the fault of wallets, if you properly use the full facility of the security's then their wont be any problems.

Once my comp was also got hacked and my desktop wallet got hacked buy my online wallet coinbase was not able to get hacked due to IP security and sms security to open the wallet it got saved , so dont give the blame with out knowing the reason of problem.

Never use an online wallet and always use 2FA. Sorry to hear for your loss burazeru.

Best answer is Jade answer....
JADE FROM BLOCKCHAIN

Hello, and sorry to hear about this. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen, because your private information was somehow obtained. One of the most common types of these are browser extensions posing as bitcoin price tickers that are actually stealing your account information. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as blockchain.info. Scammers send out phishing emails all the time posing as big named companies with the intention of stealing your login credentials. Using TOR to connect to your wallet could also result in a malicious exit node tricking your connection into appearing encrypted, but they are secretly stealing the information without you knowing.

The bitcoin network is designed to make chargebacks impossible. Blockchain.info never has access or control of a user's bitcoins in any way. This means we have no power to stop or reverse a transaction for you. By design, Blockchain.info never has access to users' accounts or bitcoins (more details here: https://blockchain.info/wallet/how-it-works). If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your bitcoins are safe with blockchain.info. Since this information has been compromised, be sure to never use this wallet or addresses contained within it. I'd also highly advise against using the same password again. Sorry again that you had funds stolen from you. That certainly must be an extremely frustrating experience.

well you was unlucky but  I think it's your fault

Your only fault was using a web wallet to store your bitcoins. End of story. Whatever happened after that was going to happen sooner or later, this isn't the first time someone has lost coins in a web wallet by their doings or the company's. Only thing you can do now is, learn from your mistake, use a desktop wallet and cold wallet for larger volume.

my condolences dude

Lol.. The average Croatian makes 11,813 USD a year, assuming that's what he makes that would be more than 60% of his income, if BTC 16.5 = ~ $7,100

This is beyond stupid.

And 16.5 of them!

In an online wallet!

Without 2FA!

Maybe people that don't understand Bitcoin, shouldn't have Bitcoin.

Blockchain isn't responsible for phishing sites. They're only responsible for their own site.

Where did you see the phishing site? If it was on a Google ad, you could try contacting them (with proof) as their own terms and conditions prevent them advertising scams.

If you haven't got any proof, then you've lost your coins, sorry.

I pretty much think this is framed

A newbies first post, he lost 16.5BTC

Then a new newbie comes up, with a donation to the first newbie
Expecting us to follow and make more donations

Aka. earning him money
I believe it's the same account
Beware  


Blockchain automatically sends a messege to your phone upon login, you don't even have to turn it on, it's already there
Which makes me wonder, how come blockchain didn't send a messege to you altough someone logged in from a different IP and a different device

If this story is true, look in your house and other people who have access to it, could they possibly do this?
Plus they would have to do it in a really small time frame, because blockchain will really often log you out, and send a new messege to your device
They would have to go to your PC a minute after you were just in your wallet, which makes this story far-fetched to me, and I come back to the conclusion this is fake to get money out of generous bitcoin users

Do you think a company is responsible for Pishing sites, huh? You must have checked the site before entering the credentials.
