Most probably you were in malicious wi-fi as you mentioned or maybe you got effected with a malware-virus.
Were you storing your private keys in your computer or inside of your email box?
last week someone tried to login my gmail account but blocked in sms verification lol.

Now you have learned to be more alert. This was a lesson for you money is nothing worth actually. Life is more important its just money. You have learned to never connect to wifi outside.

You can connect to 4g or 3g from your provider that is 10 times safer than public wifi.

which wallet were you using?

when i am on unfamiliar wifi, for starters i wouldn't go on it with anything holding crypto, and i'd only use a vpn when using it.

that's a terrible loss. sorry dude.

Sorry for your loss... :/

Hope you are all okay

One question here, how does the hack attempt to work once you connected to malicious wifi? They can see through the info/detail you enter? But if site is Https, wouldn't that be not visible to them?

Wow man halfmillion in a mobile wallet.
You gonna be crazy to store so much on your phone.

Its not only mallicious wifi. 50k OMG tokken bro I hope you can recover yourself.

Most probably its not your last money,but 50k OMG its huge. Contact whitehackers maybe they can help somehow.

Post by: HardFireMiner on October 02, 2017, 10:00:11 AM
I would look into some of the "tokens" or coins you hold wallet or software. Check each software you installed for any coin you hold(even those that weren't stolen) on every device you logged in to the compromised accounts.

I would do this first. Also uninstall everything that is not 100% secured.

Have you accessed your wallets through an unknown wifi or you just connected to that WiFi?
I wonder how can private key be accessed just by connecting to a WiFi unless there is some sort of spyware installed on your phone.
This is the reason why people must use hardware wallets to store big amounts.
Anyway sorry for your huge losses

Sorry about your loss, I think it is worth mentioning that John Mcafee explicitely warned against these types of hacks. Following his statements you most likely had spyware on your mobile from websites you used that, some of these websites would be categorised as porn.

One of the presentations/interviews he discusses this can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syI9X_uKvUA

Ohh Lord. Its hurts to be you right now. I hope that it was not your entire crypto stack tucked away in that wallet alone and that you had more than 1 wallets where the money was stored. Also wish you good luck so that you can make up this amount in the next bull rush.

My purses all two-factor authentication. If someone tried to login my account I would receive a text. That's why I think online wallets are more secure. Last week I received an SMS that someone tried to login to my account on CEX. But they didn't work.

But I don't get it, where is your private keys stored. I was told that if one is using hard ware wallet that the private keys do not leave the hard wallet.

For me with that huge portfolio you should ahve bought one hard ware wallet at least

If the wallet was blockchain.info I believe it's not its fault. Yet where did you keep all these coins you mentioned? Were those different wallets or even an exchange website? Maybe you just entered your password on the clone of legit website? Jeez, I don't know what happened here but it really sucks. Was anybody else hacked on the wallet(s) you used? If yet then you could try filing a complaint to FBI online if the owner of the wallet is known. Tell us more about your story, maybe something can be done...

With Hackers/scammers/phishers becoming more clever, It's better to take necessary steps to ensure that funds are safe at all times. I'm sure OP was using an ERC20 token wallet. Maybe, Just Maybe, someone got access to the location you store your private keys

Very unfortunate, but storing such huge amount on a mobile and using public wifi, very careless. Hopefully everyone learns a lesson from this and be more cautious.
Mobile wallets are the least safe I think, especially when on travel.

Does anyone know whether a hardware wallet will be safe in this case?

Anyone think this thread may be a lie?

Honestly who stores 550k worth of coin in an insecure location? If you got that cash, surely you would have invested in very secure cold storage.

Looks like a hardware wallet manufacturer is spreading a FUD, to remind people to buy their wallets

it seems that you are exposed to the hacker traps, by indirectly breaking into the identity of all forms of bitcoin and altcoin, I am sorry, I hope your money lost can be replaced in the next month or this week ..

My purses all two-factor authentication. If someone tried to login my account I would receive a text. That's why I think online wallets are more secure. Last week I received an SMS that someone tried to login to my account on CEX. But they didn't work.
And what if the domain itself gets hacked, the sever gets corrupted for some reason or a ddos attack takes place? In that case you you've (temporarily) lost your assets and there's nothing you can do about it. If you're storing half a million dollars worth of crypto at least take some precautions.

Anyone think this thread may be a lie?

Honestly who stores 550k worth of coin in an insecure location? If you got that cash, surely you would have invested in very secure cold storage.

Looks like a hardware wallet manufacturer is spreading a FUD, to remind people to buy their wallets
maybe he not really focus when do that, but ya use public wifi to open important things like some account, banking activity is totally mistake. for OP sorry for your loss and you must get learn some lesson from this problem

always keep your crypto in cold storage. I never keep more than 10% on exchanges. It's simply too risky with the huge potential in crypto.

PM if you want great tips on storing in cold storage which is vanity proof!

The point in such a thread would be to scare people about the security of their funds.

I mean from the perspective of a hardware wallet manufacturer, you want people to be afraid about the security of their coins.

This way they will buy a your product - the super secure hardware wallet that will guarantee peace of mind and security.

still dont understand, why ppl using their mobile for wallets connecting to foreign wifi  ::) ???

only 1 wallet on 1 PC with AV+antikeylogger

I haven't heard of "antikeylogger" before. More accurately, I always just kind of assumed that antikeylogger would be a feature included in any typical AV. Is there some service or software you recommend?

On a related note, the thing I always worry about (well one of the many things) is someone getting a dump of my clipboard history. I cut & paste addresses, passwords, and the like often enough that my clipboard history alone would be a valuable tool to use against me...

What I'm wondering is, how do I protect myself when using wi-fi that isn't my own if I'm forced to use it?

I'm not using public wi-fi, but currently as a student, I'm using my landlords wi-fi (not in my apartment), I don't want to pay my own internet (expensive).

What are the measures I should take?

I mean, it's not like I don't trust my landlord, but I seriously doubt his security since his wi-fi password is 123456789  :D

What a huge loss on here. Definitely you are compromised on that foreign wifi which they did able to get those informations or keys which to access your wallet. This is why i dont really risk to log in on those public wifi or any in public because the risk of being hacked is always there.

2FA is good, but not "hack proof".  One way is to get your hands on your private keys.  If someone gets that, they can easily drain your wallet.  But there was also an article the NYTs the other day where hackers had not only accessed someone's coinbase account, but they had switched the phone service over to a new phone that the hackers controlled, so they could authorize the transactions.

With exchanges the risk is more in them going offline and taken your coins with them.

Sorry that this happened. Today, I was holding a diamond earring I just took off and it slipped my hand into the drainer that had no catch. The earring went down the drain and I could not do anything about it. Luckily, it wasn't so expensive and I did not even want to hire plumbers to find it back. $550k is a lot and there are probably ways to find it back and legally. Trace it back to the hacker somehow if you do it soon enough. Best wishes.

Anything that would pass to the cloud would really have always the risk of getting hacked.Eyes of those criminals are always there just waiting up for their prey which they can able to stole funds this is why we should really be wary on our holding specially on the money we are keeping.Checking on the situation of op those funds cant really be recovered.Once transfered it cant be reversed.

i do not use my phone for anything and everything i have is 2fa. i almost never view http sites and if i do i take proper precautions using a no cookie browser. most attacks arent actual malware on your computer but from the networks you view your accounts. when i do view my exchange accounts through my phone i use api keys that are limited to trading on that exchange. all my password are pseudo generated and so long i couldn't tell you what they are. remember when dealing with a big chunk of capital that you need to take all the precautions necessary and the more capital you have the more of a target you have on your back. good luck.

I use imtoken for mobile access /myetherwallet for web(i was careful with url and even bookmarked it), the portfolio is all ico coins and the wallet serves as hot wallet. So i moved my priv keys around alot due to network congestion during icos. (Android keyboard saves keystroke )

ETH wallet doesnt have 2FA even the wallet password is useless.

My mistake, not moving coins out to offline wallet and not buying a travel data pass while on trip. Even the house wifi that i stayed in has weak router password/encryption so it could be the neighbors

Damn.

I am using KIS but I am afraid that I could be hacked someday.

I already protected my gmail/chrome account with 2FA, but I am afraid that my phone could be hacked.

Damn. I'm storing coins in blockchain wallet, in my PC, but my priv key in an usb, backup, write in my notebook.

But with your loss, I think I should enhance my security like buy Malwarebytes antimalware.

Sorry for your loss.  :'(

You stored your private keys in an usb, it meant that you were typing your private keys on your PC then transferred it to usb. Even if you deleted your private keys from your PC, but isn't the deleted file still can be found on PC, so if the hacker hacked your PC, the hacker still be able to retrieve your deleted private keys from your PC.

This is very sad man. You need to watch better out the next time. Maybe you can contact the police about this and that they would investigate for you.

You need to store your wallet in a secured place with 10 passwords required to enter in and have access to your wallet. So can a hacker never break in if you have a lot of coins.

I agree that you must store you wallet in a better place next time and don't use public wifi's they are mostly easily hacked and broken in. Use 3g/4g next time from your provider this is 100 times better.

Maybe contacting the police is also a good idea maybe they can do something to recover it who knows ?.

Ahh, really really sorry for your lost
Damn previously i lost like $500 and i am down and depress for several days, i can't imagine how hard you would go thru..
Hope you could be okay

And one question i am curious here,

So basically this is how it happens:
OP connected to a Wifi
WiFi owner or Wifi owner (Injected with Script by others) gone through the files in the Mobile of OP
Then steal the data?

How does it work actually?
When you connect, it actually transfer all your available files into their side?
And how the hacker know that it is for the Cryptos

Mygod, this world is too danger, dangerous than ever

Security first! Should be the watchword of every crypto investors! There are ways you can mitigate or even prevent theft and loss. One should invest in knowledge first especially about safety of your crypto portfolio before diving to the world of crypto currency. I will advice that you put a bounty on the thief! He will be caught if you work at get the hacker.

The purpose of this thread is to publicly appeal to the hacker to return back my funds. Failure to return the coins will brings calamity into your life.

This sounds fishy, you might have cleaned it out yourself and now claimed you were hacked. That's what they all say isn't it when bandits run away with funds, is that why you also have a selfmoderating thread?

Why you act like a complete noob and do what you claim to have done, you should know better and that's why is sounds fishy - get rich quick scheme - for yourself?

Yes, im guessing its an exchange address and it moved to hot wallet in subsequent transactions.


I found the only evidence of this exchange address on this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2242435.60   (Looks like the poster coins was moved from etherdelta to this address too

well finally some good news, notified the police and the cyber crime department of my country and his. They are monitoring the MEW adress as well as the adresses that everything ended in. Almost 1 million dollars there https://etherscan.io/address/0x4c34ae54dc716808e94af3d1d638b8ea3a23fa9b The bitindia stolen are in the original myetherwallet address that stole them from me https://etherscan.io/address/0x799ffca55c7a9b7c0910799549a458066b2a5704 and it belongs to bitcoin forum member saiful who used the same myetherwallet for facebook bounty as you can see in the spreadsheet under facebook bounty:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VN61OS92gyZSHlYorDMfVVf90n3jl-HKTGbhBXVthNE/htmlview
