With Bitcoin you are the boss! That not only means you are in charge, but that you must work. Bitcoin security is no better than your security. If used correctly it is miles above the bank's security system. However if you do not protect your private key then no other methods matter.

I don't know how this happened to you, but someone must have gotten that key. Consider who else has access to your computer. Think about where you store your private key. This breach may not involve malware at all. Also, Think about a more secure OS like Linux.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Look at the picture from my 2nd wallet:
http://tinypic.com/r/ddsw0/9
There is no address in transaction. The label "нeдocтyпнo" means "no acsess"
It seems it's pretty strange

31 BTC, oh my... I would go crazy if that would be me. Technology is getting better and better but the other way around for the security of the users.

It ain't just limited to desktop based wallets guys...
Even I am seeing some login attempts in my blockchain.info account that I currently have...
I don't know who the hell tries to attempt to login in my account there, but I get a code from Blockchain everyday because I have enabled 2-Factor Authentication...

So, beware these days guys, there ain't anything called "SAFE" in terms of wallets for bitcoins...
The only best thing I believe are paper wallets...

Sounds like your wallet identifier leaked. Lets try to stay on topic though, shall we?

The wallet is from the official website

I've made clean installation of Windows 2-3 times since I've entered the passwords last time.

there are some nasty bios virus, that cannot be removed with a simple format c/secure erase, they are rare, yes, but it may be your case

basically your pc is still infected no matter what you do, unless you change the motherboard

first of all i am sorry for the lost. but did anybody here asked op to sign a message to prove the ownership of the address? it's important right to claim that the address is really owned by op. and after that we can go discussing this . no offense op okay Wink

No, why? They can hardly reclaim the coins with a signed message. I dont see how that matters at all.

I think he means to say that we should first actually get some proof that OP's wallet was indeed hacked and he is not just wasting everyone's time with wild speculation as to how his wallet might've been hacked

I've not understood you pretty well. English is not my native language

Its not important I think. Just someone wants you to proof that you have been stolen. E.g. with a signed message -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345

How did you store the password?

I've made clean installation of Windows 2-3 times since I've entered the passwords last time.

Did you transfer any BTC to any address controlled by the private keys in question before this? Or was this the first time you sent BTC to this wallet?

If it was the first time actually using that wallet, it seems likely your private keys were already compromised before you reinstalled your OS. So how secure was your setup before you installed Windows 10? Were you using that laptop for anything other than running a Bitcoin client? When you first installed the client, how confident can you be your system was clean at that time?

I had the 1st wallet. Then when the sum of bitcoins was pretty big I've made the new one (about 3 years ago). I've transfered the bitcoins to the new wallet 1 time and keep them there. For the new bitcoins I've used the new wallet.

Did u use any external devices (usb) which were used on the (maybe) compromised system after the clean installation?
Or did you only use new usb sticks / no at all?

If your going to get BTC again.. get a hardware wallet and initalize it on a linux distrib.

it is best to avoid windows 10 right now, but i don't think this is the case, of the first hacking attempt from microsoft, so it most likely that you were infected

you visited a shady website or probably downloaded something malicious, in other words it's your fault

What about the passwords?
I've never entered them on Windows 10

You had quite a considerable amount. Have you ever revealed how many bitcoins you have publicly, on any forum for example? This would make you a much easier target. Hackers would be able to target you by your IP address.

The truth of the matter is that these Bitcoin targeting malwares are and will be more and more numerous in the future.

As long as you don't port forward everything, there is no risk of you getting attack by your IP address. Vulnerabilities may be possible but I haven't heard of any for Windows that is this critical.

rootkit maybe? your system was already infected long time ago, and the hacker waited for a big amount? it is certainly possible

Certainly what I'm thinking too. The hacker might have gained control of the private key and run checks every x minutes to transfer the Bitcoins.

Was your wallet encrypted? Someone found your private key, this is the only way to make transactions on the blockchain. guessing a bitcoin private key is impossible. The question is how the attacker found the key. I think the computer has a rookit or trojan.

Wallet had the password (about 30 characters)
