Bitcoin Forum

I've been recently playing on some Dicesite gambling.. And started at around 0.0018 in my wallet.
After a few days, just have some luck and by doing some investments on other players I made it
Bigger it turns to 0.015. But suddenly last night, I want to deposit some btc in my wallet at the site
Then I suddenly lost all my coins in my wallet someone send it to an address in which I dont know :(

Those coins were are my hardwork on faucets and risk by gambling but suddenly lost :(
hope someone might help me to recover it.. It just a little amount though :( But still it was my pure
hardwork :(

What wallet are you using?

Also if it's already sent to another address it is definitely gone. No way to reverse it.

But you should find out how it happened so you can prevent it for the future and probably secure your computer more.

Blockchain wallet, I don't really know how it send though..
Since everytime I log-on I also log-uot after the transaction :( Unfortunately lost everything even its a simple and little amount,
But I did put a lots of effort to it but suddenly got lost it all :(

Post the address.

You must have a keylogger. Do you have two factor auth and still have access to your account?

But don't waste your time with faucets.

I guess the cause is any of these reasons:

- weak password
- same password on another site
- virus/keylogger
- unencrypted backup in email

Honestly it might be a low price to learn more about secure passwords and how to protect your computer. A start is this article: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_Security_Dos_and_Don%27ts_%28Windows%29 (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet_Security_Dos_and_Don%27ts_%28Windows%29) and indeed use two factor auth in the future for any site where you store bitcoins/money + your email (and limit the amount that you store on sites.)

(I understand 0.015 can be a lot for some and sorry for your loss, but it could be worse if you have more in the future.)

My blockchain address is 1FtAc2GNg6NhaFjgAhgsU7BVTxRYbZrmTP

and the one in which my coins where transfer is this

:(


Now im too frustrated :( Nothing left..feeling like would want to give up on coins now :(

Not the entire balance was transferred, only 0.01417377 BTC. Remaining 0.00160802  BTC was sent back to your wallet as 'change'.
Are you sure you didn't send this yourself? Because if someone was stealing your coins, he would transfer all of it, not partial amount.

That address 1EJcTLZNfy9HALtgovGuUJbLi1ERmoo6uZ seems to steal more:


And you can indeed see a 18 BTC transaction before that.

So I do assume his story is true.

My guess again is someone who hacked another website, stole the database and matched the hacked emails/passwords to the blockchain.info wallet.

Hmm that's weird. Maybe he scammed himself somehow? lol

That was I'm thinking, what he only claim and steal is 0.0014, and not all in my account :(
But before that, I did two deposits to the site to start some few rounds in gambling..
after loosing, I look again in my wallet to deposit some few coins again. But when I looked at its balance I lost 0.014 already.
I already tried looking at the transaction logs on the site but I didnt really deposit that much.
And would never deposit that much, cause I can already play a lot in a few coins :(

I wont try to scam myself :/ since I was trying to make it bigger.



but how could he possibly do that? Is it possible to do that?
I tried to look at that accounts history and saw a lot of transactions other than me in just a few hours..

Well like I said:


So...

- Do you have a weak password? (most especially: short? 1 word with no special characters?)
- Do you use any password multiple times on different sites? And specifically your blockchain wallet password?
- Do you have proper protection against viruses?
- Did you ever make a backup of your wallet?

Hmmm, this guy has hacked a lot of accounts apparently

and .. not using an offline wallet .

What do you mean "someone send it the wallet that you don't know"? who is someone? You mean someone else has control of your wallet? And if It's sent you wont get it back anyway.

Sorry to hear your loss, but there is no way you can recover your bitcoin.
What you can do now is to scan for malware, use different passwords on different sites, and enable 2FA whenever possible.

Do you have 2FA enabled on blockchain.info?

First, read the thread. Second, use common sense, how would he know who the thief was? It's like saying, "I got robbed" and the police asking you "Who did it"....
WTF.

no matter what you did its already lost you'll learn your lesson so be careful next time there is a lot of thief out there who is very hunger for bitcoin just think about that we are in the jungle and predator is everywhere

i was hit yesterday by the same address (1EJcTLZNfy9HALtgovGuUJbLi1ERmoo6uZ) this address stole my btc ,im not sure but i think it belongs to a poker site or someone that works there  (cant really say which because im sure your not aloud to say names)  and is somehow using it to steal btc,after your first deposit in btc from your own wallet address ,also i have all security features in place sms and email but they were still able to get the btc,just glad it was 0.2 and not my offline wallet

sounds serious. try to find what you two (mean djob001 & OP) have in common. new soft installed, new registrations, suspicious webs visited etc.
maybe that 'poker site' is clue

sorry for your loss guys, it's hard but you learn a lesson

How common is this? I have google authenticator on all my accounts,hope that at least helps.


Sorry for your loss op.

It depends on the following:




Enabling 2FA will help in some case (like when your password has been leaked), but not in some case (like when someone has your unencrypted wallet backup).

where can i encrypt my wallet backup?

With that question, I assume you already have an unencrypted backup wallet file.
The easiest way to encrypt it, is to use an archive software such as 7Zip to zip it with a strong password.

Question for both of you:

Where did you get these addresses.  In other words exactly how were they generated?

Are you both using the same wallet?  Tell us exactly how you are using the wallet:  mobile, website, old plugin, new plugin, etc.

Also, tell us the exact version of the wallet you are using.

lol, you're right  ::)
thanks anyway  ;D

how about the email wallet backup?
do u think it's good to have wallet backup at your email?

Yes, it is useful to have a encrypted wallet backup at your email, when you lose your computer or other wallet files, you can retrieve your wallet back using that. However, make sure that all your wallet backups that you have are all encrypted with a strong password. If a hacker manage to get your unencrypted wallet backup, all your coins are gone.

Well the address used is a single block chain address no other address's generated with that account,
i use the wallet as temporary low yield storage for the purpose of buying mining hardware on the same pc it was generated,never moved the address or signed it in anywhere else.  

but i have recently found out that there's a block chain spoof website that snatches your login details when you sign in ,im not sure but i might have inadvertently signed in to the spoof website and gave them the login details to my account stupid i know i should have checked the URL which i normally would ,
the website is down now and it was right at the top of Google search it was back up briefly but went down with in the hour ,there is a post on here somewhere about this spoof website  

i have now changed all block chain passwords and have enabled the secondary password along with automatic wallet back up sent to my email (my email is encrypted) with sms alerts and logs turn on,


 

That all sounds reasonable and wise.

dose anyone know if its possible to tag the scam address in question with a permanent warning message?
