Title: Change the password if your wallet is stored online Post by: mrjoebruno on June 20, 2011, 12:34:19 AM If anyone is using dropbox or something you might want to change your password. Especially if your wallets are stored in the cloud.

Just print a paper wallet. Cold storage. Something else that is more reliable. Don't you guys ever learn? EDIT: Let me guess, you didn't encrypt it either. How much did you lose?

Anyways, I don't see an issue with having your wallet backed up to the cloud as long as you've encrypted it with a password of sufficient length and entropy.

I suspect that since MtGox's database was hacked, they are going through accounts that had large withdraws and hitting IPs or e-mails. I immediately moved all coins to cold storage.

too easy for someone else to accidentally delete files in the cloud, not enough permissions settings , etc. i dont understand why anyone would store their wallet online when they could store it offline and be that much safer. |
