Title: All my Bitcoin was stolen in Blockchain Wallet with 1 of these 2 widgets !!!
Post by: starboss on June 26, 2019, 04:41:14 PM
All my Bitcoin was stolen!!!

I was using my Blockchain Wallet always with 2FA code! How could this have happened?

Please help me! What do you recommend me to do right now?

If my private key was discovered, how can I change it??

I installed 2 widgets on my computer to track the price of bitcoin, I think that must have been it!

The widgets I install was these 2:

- CryptoJunkie (Extension Chrome)
- BitTab (Software, my Firewall advertised me a lot with this, I unfortunately ignored... :( )

Blockchain.com wallet as far as I know can be recovered thru your mnemonic phrase, try doing that first. If your funds are not there anymore then its not there, it can't be disputed. But you still can have your account.  This is 2019, you can't be entrusting all your coins to a webwallet. Do yourself a favor and install a real wallet in your desktop and just forget widgets.

Can you explain further? "My blockchain wallet was stolen", you mean your funds got sent out to another address, right? Or did you just lose access to your wallet for some reason?

Try to connect their support first, they should help. That happened with my friend also.

Even with a 2fa installed with maximum carelessness you can get hacked or infiltrated. From your post you seem to be very new to all this I would have a second thought that you are just exaggerating the whole thing

How it happened but you actually while using blockchain wallet that accessing a URL. People who have lost their funds are mostly affected due to accessing phishing sites.
If you wish anyone to help you on recovering the funds you lost means we are sorry no one can help you in that.

I think, your blockchain wallet secret key is theft or hacked. At first you can contact blockchain wallet help center, they will support for your issue. And if you have wallet mnemonic phrase you can get back your wallet.

Track your wallet address. If the funds haven't been moved, contact support as soon as possible. If you are an old blockchain user, you probably backed up your private key. That key can help you recover your funds if it hasn't been moved.
Never use an online wallet to keep your coins. They are not secure at all and is always vulnerable to hacks. And yeah, it is probably those widgets you downloaded. You should clean your computer.

I think you became victim of phishing websites otherwise i don't think anyone can transfer funds from your wallet especially if 2fa is enabled.Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do now if funds are transferred to other wallet. Lesson. Avoid downloading unnecessary files from internet.

Huge possibility is because of this, can you share us what is the name of this widget you installed on your computer?

If that's really the case then your whole device is not safe anymore. I must recommend to reflash your device I mean reinstalling a new OS, of course, a malware free.

Cold Storage man.

If you were not planning to sell soon that is the only way.

You can always transfer quick to a exchange if you need to sell them...but never keep em on web wallets!

What is better?? Trezor or Ledger? What is the difference?

If your private keys gets exposed, you don't change it. You generate a new set of keys. This time, make sure you know well and well how to secure your funds.

Also, if you have significant amounts of coins, I heavily suggest that you get yourself a hardware wallet.

You have a small difference in price. Ledger has support for more altcoins, also his new model can connect on Bluetooth, it's easy to use from mobile devices. (Btw, I use Trezor)
It is very important to buy directly on his official webpages, not from eBay or any suspicious resellers.

So the moral of the thread is: Op lost his bitcoins but have no idea how much bitcoins did he lose or what exactly was compromised? I'm starting to think he's trolling at the moment. Isn't sharing an address which was compromised or the amount that was compromised. Why is everyone asking him the same questions or giving him unwanted suggestions when you're not even sure if he's actually compromised?

You got some point where he didnt even mention a single TX on his post proving out that he was being hacked but he do tell that his blockchain wallet balance

had been transferred into other other wallet and hes primarily suspecting the widgets that he do installed.He reformated his PC and get rid of those things.

Lesson learn on this one: Dont randomly installed widgets or extension into a non trusted or reliable source.
