Title: Blockchain.info Post by: adsactly on September 28, 2016, 02:19:53 PM Has anyone experienced any anomalies in Blockchain.info with their Account Balances with in the last 24 hours?
There is a Suspicious Transaction that states the Value was $3.00 at time it was sent and it shows in the history as 5 BTC Sent. Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: Ayers on September 28, 2016, 02:21:12 PM all fine here, but i don't use too much their wallet, i think it's not safe enough, better to use local wallet, or wallet with a protected vault like coinbase

Nothing wrong here,you should post the transaction or a screenshot for us to see,blockchain rarely made an error like this,it might cause a concern Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: Red-Apple on September 28, 2016, 02:48:43 PM Has anyone experienced any anomalies in Blockchain.info with their Account Balances with in the last 24 hours?

Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: adsactly on September 28, 2016, 02:50:11 PM It was orginally sent here
https://blockchain.info/address/1PnHy8fiWRyNwNQkWeQ7FfeToBu2LPW2Dv and than moved here https://blockchain.info/address/18qj3BQv5aqzJ4pDTWemdNnfgKqHLMMNd7 That is where the Funds are now and at the time of the Transaction in my History it says the Value was only $3.00 How could that be possible as you can see they have over $2,893.37 at the above Address.

However in my Wallet it says Value at time of Transfer was only $3.00 Here is the Screenshot showing what I mean. https://i.imgur.com/bjafLdn.png If we can track down the thief when they try to put this on an Exchange maybe we can stop a hacker that we have reason to believe has stolen much more than 5 BTC overtime.

Funds security in bitcoin is 100% on the user. You are your own bank in bitcoin and it's your duty to safeguard your coins. Let me start that you cannot safeguard them by keeping them in an online wallet. Histories like yours happens everyday with blockchain.info and the best solution is to transfer all your remaining funds to a new desktop wallet like Multibit or Electrum. Before installing any of these, scan your PC with an internet security suite , a well known one to be sure you don't have any malware or keylogger on your PC. Also to keep in mind is to not click suspicious links that come in your SPAM folder of your email, or download any shady software from any shady site. If you stick to these rules than it's extremely highly unlikely that you are going to be hacked again. I talk from personal experience, I lost 600 or a bit more USD back in 2014 in blockchain.info and since then moved to Electrum. Everything fine in these 2 years using it without a problem. For ultimate security www.ledgerwallet.com , it's a hardware wallet which is malware proof which costs 15 Euro and about 6 Euro transport all over Europe. I write a bit long about this issue as these kind of problem is happening here almost everyday. It's simple, just move from web wallets to desktop ones as a beginning and then if you feel like it buy a hardware wallet. Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: adsactly on September 29, 2016, 11:30:28 AM Yes I understand this. But this doesn't look like a hack it looks like an Inside Job. Because
the Bitcoins are still sitting in an account untouched. I think if we keep putting pressure on the hacker he will give up the coins as they will be found to be too hot to move. This is where they are right now. https://blockchain.info/address/18qj3BQv5aqzJ4pDTWemdNnfgKqHLMMNd7 I will be posting and linking this to Reddit Security it has been brought to my attention that other people have had their blockchain.info wallets compromised in the same way. When I have Dual Authentication and a Secondary Password it should be next to impossible to get into this account. Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: mobnepal on September 29, 2016, 05:01:14 PM Haven't experienced such problem before while using blockchain.info in past and hard to know what is your actual problem, But i think your wallet account is compromised so you also better check your email account which is linked to your wallet and see does it have notification regarding this transaction at the time this was sent?
As most of the bitcoin address and your wallet info where stored in client side so they may not have any info regarding your wallet in their server, so even their support may not be able to help you. Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: severaldetails on October 01, 2016, 06:37:53 AM Tell me if i got this right:
Somebody stole from you about five bitcoins, and at the same time the transaction that removed those five bitcoins from your wallet shows on blockchain.info to be worth just 3 dollars? So two exceptional incidents happened to your wallet at the same time? Besides, I just checked the transaction you mention, but when I look it up at blockchain.info I see a value of 3011,25 dollars. Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: NeuroticFish on October 01, 2016, 06:55:36 AM I looked at the transaction and the value looks good 3,011.29 USD.
If they were stolen from you, (ouch!) it means that you either come over a clone site via a phishing mail, either you have a trojan/keylogger on your computer. From what I've seen the thief does a poor job to hide his track. He seem to collect those BTC now in 1NagJNsWGF2HG8LhJKTzfn8acNbiZff4A7 Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: zend7 on October 01, 2016, 02:03:09 PM I looked at the transaction and the value looks good 3,011.29 USD.

He may mix the coins and choose delay in time through such mixers like Bitmixer, Coinmixer, Cryptomixer as they all allow for such action , making tracking of this bitcoins almost impossible. Beside that the hacker can play a lot by creating new wallets as much as he wants making it even more difficult to track. I am sorry for OP which seems to be stolen 5 BTC from him but that's what you get when you use online web wallets. Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: adsactly on October 02, 2016, 12:49:31 PM Yeah if anybody here is a Whale and feels like they want to bless us in terms
of our Big Loss of 5 BTC we would greatly appreciate it this is a bitcoin address that is safe from hackers. Its Bitcoin Paper Address we just generated. 1HyUbKmiDre4TSbxBL1zTJJSZ2BMaJeDE6 PM us if you do decide to send something we will give you something for your support. We are sure if you guys lost this many BTC you would feel the same way. Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: mobnepal on October 04, 2016, 03:16:31 PM From which bitcoin address generator you have created that bitcoin address from which your bitcoin got emptied? If that is generated within blockchain.info than this could be bigger issue but if you have generated that address in other paper wallet generator and imported it to your blockchain.info wallet better you don't use any online paper wallet generator, download paper wallet generator in your offline computer and generate it in that way you will never expose your bitcoin private key online making it safer way to store your bitcoin.
Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: 0day on October 07, 2016, 08:48:09 PM I am suing that wallet from a longer time and I am not facing any problem at there. By the way it is better to use desktop wallet as with online wallet you put your money to a third party wallet.

No.You sure you logged in from blockchain.info and not one of the new phsihing sites which are advertized by google ?There is a Suspicious Transaction that states the Value was $3.00 at time it was sent and it shows in the history as 5 BTC Sent. This image was uploaded by blockchain.info in their facebook... https://i.imgur.com/Wc5SmIu.jpg Could you link to any of the transactions happened during that period of time ? Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: monbux on October 08, 2016, 03:07:05 AM Yeah, watch out for the google ads spoof.
The only problem I'm experiencing with blockchain.info is that it keeps on telling me that I'm entering an "Invalid GUID", I've tried using both google authenticator and SMS as verification. Seems like a couple others have this problem as well, I'm contacting support, thought that I might as well put it out there.

Seems like a couple others have this problem as well, I'm contacting support, thought that I might as well put it out there. They had always problems with the SMS verifications as it was delayed at least 30 minutes and it seemed to not work most of the times. For google authenticator you need to have your Authenticator app time synchronized with that of blockchain.info time. I am using it (well I have 0.0003 btc) there as I am totally against web wallets but I had this problem of the time a few months ago and it was fixed by synchronizing the time. Regarding the spoof ads, just write in the address bar blockchain.info and this way you are sure to not misuse it.

I thought that you guys already know that and you know how to double check everything to make sure you are on the right place/web site. If that's also the case in this theft... quite a shame :( I just managed to gather my first entire Bitcoin (well, I have a ton of alts too) and others are not careful enough when handling 5 BTC (some even more, much more). Such cases sadden me a lot :( Title: Re: Blockchain.info Post by: Hazir on October 11, 2016, 05:40:57 AM Blockchain.info is one of the most used online wallets and it starts to have quite of a history of others trying to impersonate the site, send phishing mails and doing all they can to steal your money. If you are using online wallets and are concerned about security - I have two words for you: ENABLE 2FA and every phishing attempt will fail.I thought that you guys already know that and you know how to double check everything to make sure you are on the right place/web site.
