 Once your Bitcoin moved from your possession, it was too late.  It can't be undone.
 

Your bitcoins are gone. I can see the transaction already has one confirmation.

You definitely downloaded malware that enabled the hackers to steal your money. Could you please share a link of the website where you "downloaded the fork" from?

It is so sad you lost bitcoin worth $820,000 over "free bitcoin cash"  that isn't even worth $3k
Very heartbreaking

please help i feel like this dream or something im shakinghg cant feel hganything i think this is dreamdh im just dreaming if my whole 100 btc hacked that i been saving for 6 months is gone then i mhave no reffason to live in this fucked bloody world i have nothing else i have nothing now if my wife found out this hapepend there will be no rdfeason to live

 How many times did you move those coins in the last few days?

Can you please share a link the app you downloaded? It might help decord how your funds where moved?

I know it's a very painful experience but don't just end your life because of what happened to you today. It could just be an expensive lesson for something greater that you are yet to achieve.

I am 200% sure that what you downloaded was a tool the hacker used to steal your money. You just helped him by opening the last line of defense to your wallet and that was the 2FA.

So many people have lost a lot of money trying to claim worthless forks: Here is a nother member who lost $1M last year because of trying to claim a fork -  I GOT HACKED AND LOST 1 MILLION (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5080741.0)

i do not touch my bitcoins because i have been holding for some time i rarely use to pay for online stuff if my credit card no working



i have used this website to watch private stuff http://desixnxx2.net/ this first time happend i scan my computer all every month no virus found i also got ip address of hacker country says ghana
https://i.gyazo.com/73b42031b51de488a143761195edbbde.png

i do not know how this happend but i think its done for me life is not for me i believe

 Okay.  Was this 35jyqnmKCXmFYDD2WQgtVwVvPKZHSzsjJD the address you kept all of your Bitcoin in?

i dont know i dontknow ikeep all bitcoins in my blockchain balance

please i really need help i contacted blockchain to cancel charge back transaction setnt to hackers balance i hope they cancel fast

i have called police they say they not can help me get my bitcoin back what is this!! why this happen now why me

 It didn't happen.  You're making it up.  Relax.

your post is making me more depressed now thanks you

 Dude.  I only went back 24 hours because I want to go to bed but your coins were here 3QMY8q3fFLD6WWKD67tcyvHitt4VLL5hPj one day ago and they were moved twenty-two times shaving off small amounts until they arrived here 3MvJXaiPc3N15dwXJLuA8tNN8JAhxSt1GH  about 8 hours ago with about 110 Bitcoins left.  From there, I have a visualization for you:

 https://i.imgur.com/FtJ6vFV.png

 So they end up in "your" wallet after 5 more txs at 2019-10-02 23:51:38 and finally to the "hackers" wallet some 40 minutes later at 2019-10-03 00:31:50. 

 ...but you said "i do not touch my bitcoins because i have been holding for some time i rarely use to pay for online stuff if my credit card no working"

 I suggest to you that you may be depressed but it has nothing to do with losing 100 Bitcoins.  My condolences to your wife (if she exists)

You kept 100 BTC worth $820,000 on Blockchain.com? ::) ::) And you lost it because you downloaded malware why you were attempting to get a free 10 BCH worth about $2.5k... that was advertised in a popup while watching porn? ::) ::) ::) ::)

Seems the OP may have confused Oct 3rd with April 1st. :P

PS. I highly recommend that nobody attempts to click the link that the OP posted further up-thread... I suspect it might be a malware loaded website masquerading as a porn site.

First of all, if you don't know who the hacker is then it will be impossible to recover the stolen money because bitcoin transactions are irreversible. Even blockchain support won't be able to help you.

Secondly, there are few things in your story that I find hard to understand/believe:
- How is it possible that someone who has 100btc does not know how to claim forked bch coins properly.
- Someone who has100btc and keeps them on an online wallet!
- You said that you rarely use your coins. But according to block explorers there were many transactions from your wallet lately!
- Hacker's wallet address: 3PTnWYetMx8ovB8ed816oYYvnvzh3KGcaC, hence your wallet address:35jyqnmKCXmFYDD2WQgtVwVvPKZHSzsjJD (segwit). AFAIK, blockchain.com does not support segwit!

Anyway, hope you will be able to recover your money (if it is really yours).

Does your wife know you are visiting porn websites  ;D

I have no sympathy for OP for the following reasons:

1) Storing a substantial amount of coins on a web wallet you don't control the keys to.
2) Blindly running software/scripts from untrusted parties to get some second-rate shitcoin like BCH.

(Not) Sorry For Your Loss (http://"http://qntra.net/2016/08/the-your-loss-playbook/")

If it is true,

You should be backing anything over $10,000 in value in cold storage. Even if your computer got hacked,
they would physically need to know the password and have the device to touch your coins.

I can't comprehend anyone that would store $100,000s or more without the usage of a cold storage wallet.

A hot wallet is fine if its $100s or $1000+, and you were just using it to buy a cup of coffee or for small-time usage.
Great provider of cold storage: https://trezor.io/

I would OP, contact the main exchanges, provide as much info as you can.

The situation of the OP was out of lack knowledge, grees and ignorance because
1) Holding huge amount of on web wallet is highly risky
2) He ought to have notice something fishy after receiving an authorization login email from blockchain which he didn't do right after he installed the file.
3) alot of crypto users have said almost the same story which I believe should have be a lesson for others.

Hey xhomerx10: which tool is that one?
Thanks,
Fillippone

weirdly for my first comment ever
sorry mate i'm not buying not even one bit of it .

It's most likely a LARP indeed.

Welcome to Bitcointalk. Unfortunately the shit gets deep at times.  ;D

That looks like blockchain(dot)com's transaction tree visualization.
Just search for any transaction, click "view tree chart" next to "visualize:" and click the circles to expand/extend the branches.

Feeling sorry for OP about your loss. I want to clarify that you will never get back your bitcoin. Bitcoin isn't reversible and there is no any other way to back it. If you are talking about ip address then you are wrong, hacker will never use their original ip address during hack. See how greed destroy our life. You were had $820,000 but you were greedy just for 10BCH. In a result you lost your total fund forever.

To be honest it wasn't really easy task to hack you blockchain wallet. There was 4 step security, password, IP verification, 2FA and second password. You just provide them all the details. Why you were not thought you might hack. I am wondering someone from your near involved with this attack who know about your bitcoin and about your habits. And this attack happen by known peoples, it's just my suspicion.

On the other hand why someone should store this huge amount of bitcoin? A hardware wallet isn't high price for you. Or you might use other software wallet like electrum or core.


However, you just lost money, it doesn't mean you have to lose hope of your life. It's a lesson for you, money could be earn once again. But life only one, if it's gone then it will never back. So past is past, go ahead with future. It was a costly lesson for you.

AlexAndaw, I think you were forced to download or update something on that porn site. Its kinda common to have sudden popup on these porn sites and they forced to click on the yes button. In most of the cases without clicking on yes button visitors can't go forward or back page. Undoubtedly its a clear trap where hackers use this kinda porn sites to plant their hacking tool or file on visitors device. Most probably you have done something similar like that If i am not wrong.

Feeling really sad after hearing about your loss and its unexpected too. I hope you will be able to recover your losses soon. Please clean your computer before downloading any other wallet for future use.   

 

I felt really bad when i read the Subject but now this all seems to be made up.

you claim to have ~100 Bitcoins that you did not move but can clearly be seen to have been moved multiple times, over the past days.

It seems you are just trying to phish us or just play a trick.

Regardless, even if true- nothing can be done anymore. If given you porn choice, you are indeed Indian, there is even less that police will do about it as the legality of Bitcoin is on the very negative end in the country right now.
Just call it a expensive lesson and move on

It's a surprise that the OP don't know blockchain dot com is providing the option for second password which is asked before sending the currencies if he set the second password that would have saved his (BTC100 is huge) currencies. Sorry for your ignorance OP.

He actually had 2 FA on. OP's biggest problem was greed if all he's talking about is true and maybe not trying to get himself a hardware wallet for that amount. I mean how do you to claim a shitcoin worth $2500 out of a random popup message yet you already have solid BTC worth $820,000.

It doesn't make any sense  ::)

This is brutal but has many truth in it. If OP wouldn't lost his BTC now, he would month later or year later. No question about it.
Zero knowledge how to store BTC, zero knowledge how it works, zero responsibility for keeping $820000 for his family. Sad but OP didn't put ANY work into learning about what hes putting money into.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! OP's story is a FABRICATION!
As I have demonstrated (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5189576.msg52633327#msg52633327) - he is a liar and a fraud.
He DID NOT LOSE anything.  
Move along folks. Nothing to see here.  


edit:  Thank you all for the merits.

I would say that you should be backing any value that you can't afford to lose in cold storage and not just a defined number. If you can't afford to lose $100 then you should not be storing that amount in a hot wallet. $1000 for a lot of people is a life changing amount for those that live in poorer countries. I would recommend a trezor only when you are storing a huge amount of Bitcoin  because they can be pricey otherwise and a paper wallet generated correctly is just as safe and there are tutorials and tools out there to make this almost idiot proof.


But the question remains why would someone go out of their way to fabricate a story like this? They do not gain anything at all

  We can't possibly know his internal motivation for lying nor can we know the reward.  I do feel like he's watching though with every thread bump; a little gleam in his eye and a stupid grin on his face.

 For my part, I'm un-watching this thread.

I wouldn't be surprised if OP is just fishing for Merits. I often send Merit to new users, but I always do some background check before sending them. OP didn't qualify.

Or he really believes that someone can help him recover/steal those 100Btc and send them back to his address.
I didn't buy his story since all addresses which sent coins to "the hacker" address by that date are Segwit and AFAIK blockchain.com only support Legacy addresses.

Nature has created two main ways for living beings to learn things, pleasure and pain. Pleasure should be our favourite choice, but each time we don't do our homework then plan b steps is - and that is pain.
It looks like you have taken the second learning route this round.
The bad news: you won't recover your loss.
The good news: you've learned something very important, even though at a really high price - take care of your funds, store them in a safe hardware wallet or in a paper wallet.
The marginal news: Almost everyone in crypto has sooner or later paid the bitter price of not having done their homework (me included). What makes a difference is the way one uses these lessons.

EDIT: Reading the latest posts it seems the story may be a fabricated one. In this case I'd have made a mistake, and waisted 5 minutes of my life. Well, I'll take this lesson :)

Trying to come up with the reason why somebody would invent a story like this. Struggling to come to a conclusion as to why anybody would be so weird.

Because they then come back later and flat out beg for BTC
That or they come back later as another person who was also hacked, and try to fish for money to start a lawsuit.

Did anyone work out what site that address belongs to?

It can't be coinbase as they do 1 to 2 and use native segwit. Binance merge a ton of transactions into one so it also can't be them. And bitmex do the same as binance...


It's like the loan listing for $5-10... They want something from it and if they can work out it works then they'll keep doing it every few months so enough people forgot.

Lmao I was fully expecting to click this and for the OP to literally say "haha, fooled you" or something similar. Obvious fabrication as already proven but anyone who stores more than a double-digit $ amount of Bitcoin on an online wallet like blockchain.info is begging to get hacked or scammed, you are opening yourself to additional vectors of attack by using an online wallet no matter how secure blockchain.info claims to be, all to save yourself the extra effort of having to download a wallet client.

In case anyone reading this is wondering how to actually safely store a large amount of Bitcoin, cold storage on a computer disconnected from the internet is always the way to go!
