Title: HELP~My Wallet was stolen, I lost 2.3102BTC!!
Post by: SpaceX on August 22, 2013, 10:47:40 AM
My wallet was stolen in 2013-07-18 and I lost 2.3102 BTC. The bitcoin was sent to this address:

1Hackyaju6LmzW91fnr3xTLFJSAjf7mr2j

I have set two passwords to ensure the security of my wallet and I have a SMS message as Two Factor Authentication.
I didn't reveal my passwords and SMS message authentication code to anybody and I have scanned my PC, there is no computer virus or Trojan Program in it.
But my wallet was still stolen by someone! ! I hope Blockchain can help me retrieve my lost Bitcoin!! Thanks!

I submitted the quest above to the blockchain.zendesk.com a month ago, but I don't receive any reply until now!
So I have to find more helps from bitcointalk. Could anybody tell me how can I retrive my lost Bitcoins??
Thanks a lot!

I send a backup to my email every time I have a transaction
I have scanned my computer completely,no virus and malware
I also think retrieving my BTC is impossible,but I see an essay, say BlockChain will compensate our lost BTC

Lesson for everyone else here, split your money into multiple different wallets/accounts/etc , to minimize possible risks.

I think op is right, if it was due to the wallet security problem with the rng, then blockchain might refund him.

I doubt they will, because how do you tell it's a genuine theft or staged?

My funds were stolen from online wallet. Only single address affected, so seems Blockchain.info wallet has vulnerability in RNG:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=277595.0

Important!

I can confirm there is a problem with the RNG used by blockchain.info javascript clients being poorly seeded when initialised in a background webworker task. In some browsers this could lead to duplicate R values being used when signing transactions (Firefox is likely to be particularly vulnerable). This issue effects the transaction signing code only, not the generation of private keys.

Patches have now been deployed, Please ensure you upgrade to the latest version of your Blockchain.info client.

Chrome extension - v2.85
Fixefox extension - v1.97
Mac client - v0.11

Users of the web interface should clear their browsers cache before next login.

Only a handful of addresses are known to be affected thus far. Likely if you have been affected by this problem your coins will have been taken already. All affected users will be refunded in full, please PM me or email help@blockchain.info.

-----

Piuk, please, could your site implement importing password protected private keys according to BIP38? Many people use that for their offline savings and allowing to spend the key directly from blockchain.info would help a lot. Thanks!

BIP38 supported has been added.

I do not question you or your experience in general, I'm simply saying it's hard to prove either way.

There's nothing blockchain.info can do to help you get your coins back.

If it cheers you up in any way, I've lost over 30 BTC over the past year to scammers and lost wallets...

Actually Piuk is refunding those that were affected:

Jesse James has informed me of a problem with the rng used by blockchain.info javascript clients being poorly seeded when initialised in a background webworker task. In some browsers this could lead to duplicate R values being used when signing transactions (Firefox is likely to be particularly vulnerable).

I'd consider your 2BTC loss as lucky. Many of us have lost much much more experimenting with Bitcoin.

It's not because someone lost more, that it is lucky to lose 2 btc ...
Maybe it was all he had.

I sure hope the community is working on finding out what the vulnerability is.  So far, at least two people have said they were using blockchain.info when this happened to them.  There are many more it appears that have not posted on the forum.

Point taken. It's not lucky to loose any BTC :(
I'll revise my previous statement: As the territory surrounding a risky bet such as BTC stands, only put up what your willing to loose, write it off as a learning experience, and get back in the game!  ;)

Ah, I was not aware that what the enabled the theft of coins was a vulnerability in blockchain.info's code.  Still, they are getting refunded from the siteowners' pockets, and rightfully so, but technically they are not getting their original coins back.

I'd consider your 2BTC loss as lucky. Many of us have lost much much more experimenting with Bitcoin.

So you've lost more than 2 BTC "experimenting?" As in gambling and getting scammed?
Doing that, you already know the risks and you did it knowing there was a chance you could have lost the money.

The OP got the funds stolen against his will.  So if you lost the BTC gambling, getting scammed, that was your own fault.
Of course, this OP should have just used bitcoin wallet QT or have the info backed-up

I've lost more than 2 BTC via theft, learning how to properly send BTC to an address, and not doing enough research on best practices for proper wallet security. I used the term "experimenting" because I felt that it described my learning experiences (i.e. trial and error) well.

Got it. Haven't used BTC on a gambling site yet..

What is the most secure wallet ?

The most secure wallet is one you control yourself. Blockchain.info is great for convenience and ease of use but it falls down in the area of security - like all web wallets. The most secure wallets are probably bitcoin-qt, armory, or a paper wallet.
