Sorry to hear this happened  That is a lot of btc. This is a great reminder to everyone and myself to do 2F whenever offered. Yeah man, I wouldn't sleep for 2 weeks if I have lost that much BTC. leigh2k14, You said you used to compile wallets from source, is that on windows or linux? Linux mint. I thought Linux is a free operating system from Trojan or keylogger or any similar hacking virus ? is that possible  ?? If a key logger was used, they would only be able to install in my home folder, the rest of the OS needs root privileges. |

Have you logged into your Bittrex account from any other PC which you don't own?
No. |
|
|
|
I have never heard of a keylogger existing on Linux, maybe there is, I am not an expert. If you are using a complicated and unique password, bruteforcing would be difficult and also Bittrex uses captcha for every login, so brute-forcing will also be very slow.
My password was only eight characters, one uppercase and two numbers. Not the best. |

Not me, but I just wanted to say that people reading this should really use 2FA before they also learn the same pricey lesson you and I did (it was a long time ago for me).
I was lazy and thought that nobody would hack me, damn I was wrong. If your reading this and don't have 2fa set up, DO IT!Yep, I was lazy to set 2fa too All the coins I had there were dumped and I can see a lot of "stupid" orders in my history... What I can say? SET 2FA!!! leigh2k14, have you been using the same password anywhere? No, I only have one password for bittrex. Did you lose much? I'm going to format both my machines, I suggest you do the same mate. I don't remember exact amounts, but it was about 1.5BTC in total, so not that much, fortunately! No, it's not connected with the machines I'm using and the password is not that easy, so I'm wondering how could that happen at all Same here mate. If any more people were to get hacked i'd say that bittrex had been compromised, but just two I would have to say no. |

leigh2k14,
Did you use the same email and password for any mining pool or other sites?
No, I haven't mined for quite some time. It's unique to bittrex. |
|
|
|
Sad that you are scammed today and good you earn us to use always 2FA protection.
When you use 2FA is this always going without problems. What happens when you lose your phone can you still enter 2FA?
You write your private key down on some paper. |
|
|
|
How did the hack happen? Did your computer get hacked or did someone guess the password?
I always get an email to confirm a withdraw, does that mean 2FA is active? I never asked for it to be activated.
I'm guessing they either knew our emails and brute forced somehow, or we have a keylogger installed on our machines. It doesn't matter about the withdrawal, they set a high price on a coin that they own and dump your coins, then buy the coins from them selves, so no withdrawal. |
|
|
|
I don't have a Bittrex account, so I'm not concerned, but I would like to know how you were hacked, to protect my YoBit account in case of.
I would like to know as well, we're still trying to figure that one out. Make sure you have that 2fa enabled. So far it's only two of us. |
|
|
|
That's right, because it's in NO WAY connected with Destiny Coin!  I haven't installed the wallet on my machines, so no. |

Some low life scumbag just emptied my bittrex account of 1300 rads, 800 exp and 15000 aur. They dumped my coins, but there was no withdraws in my withdraw history, and no withdraw requests in my email? I changed my password straight away. I mailed support@bittrex.com, i'm waiting for a reply. And for some reason they bought a load of EXCL and dumped EXCL: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-EXCLFucking gutted. Anyone have richie from bittrex's user name so I can PM him? That happened to me also around 2 yrs before, I was not using 2fa and was having a weak password. That time the scammer traded my coins for PPC and emptied my wallet. I guess i'll be setting up 2fa. I don't get how they were able to withdraw without it showing up on my bittrex withdraw history? They don't withdraw from your wallet, they put high sell orders on other coin (EXCEL in this case) from their account and will buy those coins from your account. You will be able to see this in your trade history. I had opened a case with Bittrex at that time and they refunded me .1btc (I lost around .5), even though they don't need to. It was my mistake for keeping weak password. I was using 2fa since then. That was nice of them. I just lost around 8BTC, which sucks balls. I just finished setting up 2fa on all my exchange accounts. Nevermind I need DES to moon, that should more than cover what I lost. Is it wrong to wish cancer on the thief? Yeah, it was nice of them to give back at least a little bit. Wishing and cursing will not have any affect, Karma will take care of him  . And hopefully you will be able to recover more than that from DES . I believe in karma, so i'm not going to wish cancer on them, they will get a return, everything gets a return. How on earth did they get my email, that's what's bothering me? Damn, just found out I have the same problem! Please PM me, if you have any ideas how that fucker could get e-mail and password from bittrex. I wouldn't say I had an easy password there, so how anyone could get in? WOW 2 accounts got hacked in the same day, so maybe bittrex database got hacked, Maybe, let's see if any others have been compromised? |

This happend to me like 1 year ago, i download a fake C.A.T bot and was a keylogger they stolen my email and all my coin from the only exchanger that i donīt have F2A active, you always need to active F2A guys. So true, expensive lesson learned. |

Wonder if any others have been effected? |

How on earth did they get my email, that's what's bothering me? if they got your email and pw , i think its keyloggers virus hiding within wallet you download recently. If I download a wallet, I only download the source from gitHub and compile on my linux machine. I never download from a quoted link. Your probably right, I can't trust my machines no more, looks like a format is due. |
