Title: Unauthorized login attempts at blockchain from the UK
Post by: CryptoDomains on January 07, 2015, 01:09:14 AM
Someone today tried to gain access at blockchain.info to my wallet, anyone else seeing this attack coming from the UK?

Tried multiple times!

Your wallet identifier probably somehow leaked. Whoever discovered it was probably trying to "hash" their way into your wallet. I would suggest creating a new identifier (wallet) and transferring all the bitcoin in your old one into your new one.

Did you got an email notification about it?
Apart from the above advice of changing identifier, I would also advice you to change your email password and apply 2fa to it.

2fa is not going to help you with blockchain. If an attacker has access to a backup of your wallet all they need is your password (and 2nd password if you have one) to steal your money

Just get your BTC out of there ASAP!

After it's safe, scan your PC with MalwareBytes and if you don't have an AntiVirus, Avira.

Yeah malware bytes is nice, people selling keys here for cheap. I just read an old post on reddit, a person lost 36 BTC due to his email getting hacked. Be careful and protect email and other things associated with your wallet

Alright, moved coins, avoiding blockchain.info now.

Yes they did send an email notification each time they tried, thankful for that at least.
