Title: Bitcoins stolen Post by: jacko84 on March 31, 2014, 08:44:29 AM Hi guys,
New to the forum, I have been recommended to post here due to my bitcoins being stolen over the weekend. Its not a huge amount (0.07) but has taken me the best part of 4 months to mine them! lol https://blockchain.info/address/1DydzkrutkVTuqoYZPFfWVmKxaJPk1vFwz This is the transaction... https://blockchain.info/tx/0bd4c7ce0ef052f1e9f793fa85d7a97ba0289313e5faf1b6572fa4117039ad6b My wallet was encrypted however they still managed to do the transaction and wipe me out. Is there anything that can be done? Thanks Title: Re: Bitcoins stolen Post by: dreamspark on March 31, 2014, 08:46:40 AM Most likely there is nothing that can be done. Can I ask what your setup was? Offline? Paper Wallet ? Normal wallet on hot computer?
Title: Re: Bitcoins stolen Post by: Sirrah on March 31, 2014, 08:49:13 AM The whole point of Bitcoin is that it is irreversible so unfortunately you're not going to be able to get them back. The best you can do is figure out your security flaw and patch that ASAP.
Where is your wallet stored and for how long has it been encrypted? Title: Re: Bitcoins stolen Post by: jacko84 on March 31, 2014, 08:51:10 AM wallet is on my windows 7 pc that's always online. I have now got a new wallet that is offline. glad I didn't have a larger amount!
Its been encrypted for about 4 months or so. Title: Re: Bitcoins stolen Post by: xypos on March 31, 2014, 05:55:43 PM You probably got keylogged.
Did you download/install suspicius softwares recently? Title: Re: Bitcoins stolen Post by: Hash72 on April 01, 2014, 07:35:23 PM If the problem of BTC Hot Wallet not solved soon i think BTC will Decline to 100 USD ...as Fast as many user lost their coins because many of users are not a computer professional .
Title: Re: Bitcoins stolen Post by: RodeoX on April 01, 2014, 07:43:55 PM You probably got keylogged. Did you download/install suspicius softwares recently? That sounds like a good theory. You said you had done some mining. I wonder if the keylogger was hidden in software related to mining. I say this because there are a lot of trojan mining products out there. It makes sense to be suspicious of any bitcoin related software because the bad guy can target people who are likely to own some BTC. Anyway, sorry man. I'm afraid it is probably gone. |
