Title: Blockchain.info wallet security problem.
Post by: AGCSHOP on July 30, 2016, 04:13:08 AM
My wallet has the following notice. Screenshot (http://postimage.gq/FPUX9X.jpg) saying a security issue affects my address. Is anyone else having this? What can I do to get my coins

If you're still using that address, please stop using it ASAP. It seems like the 'r' value used for generating the private key of the address was compromised in their maintenance on 8/12/2016 and I believe you generated the private key on that day. Contact the support and they should help you to get the funds back.

-Move the thread to Service Discussion->Online Wallets [Might get more attention there]
-Blockchain.info support takes ages to reply,message them on their facebook page instead.
-The private keys seems compromised.If you still have access to that wallet,move the coins asap.

you shouldn't have imported anything in your wallet from another place other than blockchain.info generated bitcoin addresses.

where did you even get that private key in the first place? is it one of those famous private keys that everybody has ?

It is pretty fast to create a wallet on blockchain.info. Don't take any chances with a compromissed wallet. I would create a new wallet straight away. Did you get any feedback from support?
