Title: My Bitcoin was stolen, help!
Post by: lucas232323 on December 28, 2017, 07:34:25 PM
I am not sure at all how this happened. I logged onto coinbase to check how my Wallets are doing, and my BTC Wallet was completely empty. I had only $25 worth in my wallet so it isn't much (today that would be worth around $23 since I bought at a bad time). I have provided screenshots to back this up. It says I sent all of the Bitcoin and when I click the link to view transaction, it does not load.

I only use a private computer at my home for coinbase and my cell phone, so all coinbase public use could not have happened.

I attempted to contact coinbase about this but was shut down and was told transactions cannot be cancelled even though that was not my issue.

I completely understand if this is like sacrilegious to do, but I also included my Bitcoin address if you feel like helping out just until I get the $23 value back. Will delete this if I do reach the $23 I had before and will provide an update showing that I deleted the post at that point (so everyone knows this is not a scam). If I do succeed in contacting coinbase to get my money back, I will make sure all donations are sent back/refunded.

Thank you so much and if you have any advice please let me know!

Update:

The transaction went through so the money is no longer pending. Which makes this situation worse. Whoever took my $23 ($22.60) should officially have it now. Any help is appreciated!

I totally understand this makes my situation sound pitiful, I am sorry! I am a total newbie when it comes to BTC I will be completely honest. I only posted in hopes to see why this could have been and possibly get help getting it back. I don't mean to offend if you have lost a lot more, I apologize and wish I could help you as well.

 Firstly, that's not proof of anything.  It's a picture of a random tx.
Post some txids in text format and stop dicking around with useless images.

Even if the value is very small if it is a problem that affects many people then the OP is doing very well in exposing this problem, because in the future people will be able to take measures so that this kind of thing does not happen to anyone.

Was able to get the transaction link to load. I am very new to BTC trading, so I apologize. I can show whatever you need me to as long as it is safe to do so.

Even if you only use a private computer, you can still have keyloggers etc that you don't know about.  Also I recently read that some websites basically act as keyloggers but I don't know how true this is.  If you ever decide to put more than $20 in, it might be worth while to get a hardware wallet such as the trezor or ledger.  Ledger is great, but I have not used any of the other brands so I can't vouch for them.  Good luck.

I dont mean to offend anybody,I lost 3 BTCs when they were $7500 worth and they were gone forever,infact I was scammed and was  stolen from my coinbase accounts,and when I posted my pain i was trolled around and I see a newbie posting on $25 with no proofs,with all the proofs ppl kicked away my agony ! Anyways updated the person to be careful and also shared my experience here so that ppl would atleast be careful in future.Irrespective the number of BTCs its hard earned money which gives pain for loosing :(

Jeez, that's awful. Really sorry about that. Might take this post down, people have much bigger problems/losses. And that is clear to me now. Sorry about that.

 You've already been compromised so I'm not sure how much more unsafe you could be.
Some people worry about giving away their anonymity by posting a transaction ID but you've already posted your address.  Copy and paste the address into one of your posts and we can find the txid from there.
From what I can see, the funds were eaten by fees anyway so... the thief didn't get much.

If your computer is compromised you should be grateful that you discovered it by losing only $23 rather than the hacker waiting until you had a much larger sum entrusted on Coinbase.

Did you have Two Factor Authentification enabled? That should be absolutely basic to any account security.

No reason for that, to some people a $25 loss is a lot of money, to others a $20k is just a bad day a the casino.
