f.me...no idea how this is happening. 2nd time now, from initial theft directly from my wallet.

so sorry for you, that was big amount  :(
you say that you have been hacked before, is that wallet same with this one?
did you activate 2FA in your blockchain wallet?

Just one question
" are you using 2FA in your Acc "
if you are then I might switch to some other E-wallet..! because this doesn't feel secure at all ..!

Which OS you are using? If it's windows, scan your PC for any kind of malware infection.

Jeeze. Again? You must be infected. I'd use linux for using Bitcoin, but make sure you have 2-factor auth set up. I prefer the one that sends you a text before you can access your account. Did you have a second password on your account also?

Damn ... how many addresses do you keep in Blockchain wallet?

Do you use android blockchain app?

Thieving bastards. You really have to take as many measures as you can to protect your precious. I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

U used to store private key or the password in your machine ?

Make sure you haven't installed any weird extensions to your web browser.

Wow very sorry to read about this sudden loss of BTC.  Things like this always give me the willies. 

Do you have any add ons your browser your using that your not aware of?

That really sucks though, not sure how they got to you unless a keylog or some type of phising tatic through email.

Blockchain recovers stolen bitcoins right? or am I just hearing things.. I read somewhere that they got their funds back since it was sent to another blockchain wallet?

i have recently switched from block chain to coinbase and i am quite happy about that , block chainz wallet service has gone down hill

Sorry to see your loss.
Have you use the same password somewhere else? Have you enabled 2FA on bc.i?

To be honest, most of the hacks are not on server side of bc.i.

If you have any clue what went wrong please post it up so some others can try and protect themselves so this doesn't happen again.

U should not use your normal work pc/email/browser to store/access ur blockchain.info account. Use something very secure, ur btc account is like ur bank account.

Tough luck, happened to me once
Be safe

Can you explain how it's gone down hill? Their service and features are pretty top notch and if anything bad happens it will be because of something the user did or didn't do.

Now I am really worried... I had just read about a similar robbery from Blockchain wallet in the Service Discussion.  >:(

If people set up 2 factor auth and put a second password on then they'd probably be fine:

 

I doubt that security system has failed, users weren't responsible for their funds enought, same thing could happen with your internet banking.

I really hope that it is the case. Blockchain.info is (probably) the most popular online service right now, far ahead of other service providers such as Coinbase and Armory. Any failure will be catastrophic for the Bitcoin.

I guess they would already notice it and halt the transacions...there would be way more topics claiming they got their coins stollen cuz of glitch.

It's not their fault people don't look after their coins. How hard is it to take advantage of the security features? If people are lackadaisical with security then it's their own fault. I'm sure more desktop wallets are actually hacked than online ones as well, especially with their lack of security features.

Just set up 2FA guys and tadam you should be protected...atleast waaaaaaaaaay more than with just some kind of simple password.

+1.
If you got malware on your machine, your bitcoin will get stolen no matter you are using blockchain.info, coinbase, multibit, electrum or bitcoin-qt. People should learn to use 2FA and different passwords for different sites, and be careful with phishing emails.

I immediately sent an email to blockchain security. No reply.

I use google authenticator, 2fa,
I created a brand new wallet address, not linked to any other.
I can't figure out for the life of me where I was vulnerable.
 
i hope blockchain can help...

Wait a minute, you were using Google Authenticator and you got hacked?  I thought that was basically impossible.  Wouldn't they need access to your particular mobile device?

2FA is useless if hacker got a copy of backup wallet or private keys from his PC/Email etc

Man, thats a lot. And you used 2fa and still got robed... OMG, were you using google auth. On phone or comp. If on comp. , its must have been compromised other wise how this is possible.

looks like I was 'phished' There is another blockchain.info thread on reddit about a few others that had the same thing happen yesterday.
I guess it serves me right. fuggedaboudit. pisses me off, but crying over split milk...

Always use a bookmarked page, but most importantly check you're actually using the legit site before you put details in. Did you have 2-factor set up as well?

If the answer is no then you know why! sorry man :(

what is 2FA can you elaborate it so we guys understand easily :)

2FA means two-factor authentication.
