Malwarebytes is good
+1 I use different passwords for each wallet. Before copying wallet on PC I use AWDcleaner + Malwarebytes before I do anything what is combined with the drk wallets. So far so good. Eduffield we need 2FA quite quick to avoid this kind of problems. Thanks for the kind words Tante. Really appreciated. A minority of my crypto has been stolen but I had to work hard to buy it so I'm pretty angry. I don't feel violated. As I said, I hope who stole it needs it more than me. I don't want to speculate too much but the two wallets that were compromised had the same passphrase. Thats the only commonality. The other (n) wallets on my PC have been running and were uncompromised. The only thing that is troubling me is that one was BTC core on my PC and the other Darkcoin QT on my mac. There is an active fileshare between the two. Was the PC on Windows? Yes, soon to be resolved. Well, I need to have windows for work but I'll work something out. |

Thanks for suggestions everybody. I'm just going to nuke the PC, Linux it up and change everything that can be changed.
There you go...first stupid public loss admitted by a darkcoin team member? Please learn from my mistakes. When I've had time to analyse fully what has happened I will post here to advise others.
What about the blockchain, where did the funds go ?! Damn  Hard to explain, feeling a bit paranoid having my first ever security breach a few days after revealing my real identity to the world. I've made things safe and now I need some time to think things through and calmly lay out what happened. I'm confused myself now. Will report back publicly in a bit. |

Try malwarebytes first' see if it can find some malware or trojan out of curiousity ESET has a trojan in quarantine that I don't recall seeing an alert about. I'll scan shortly. In the meantime I'm off to the pub. |

Oh ffs :*(
I just got home to find that ~1000DRK is missing from one of my mac wallets with very strong passcode.
I lost ~6BTC by what I thought was a trojan recently too (windows PC).
I'm starting to freak out that my wifi has been compromised. This is just fucking shit. I've invested right up to the limit of what I can afford in Darkcoin and the last thing I need right now is to lose investments.
Fuck this. Fuck this. Fuck this.
EDIT: Removed tipping address through paranoia and revised lost amount down as realised that one of the wallets is in tact still.
how do you protect passwords on your pc? Nothing other than very strong passphrase, cleared from console if used there. BTC were lost when I unlocked my wallet to send a payment. As for what has happened on my mac I have no idea. i can recommend these free tools to find spyware http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREEhttps://resistsurveillance.org/Thanks mate. I've got Eset on my PC but obviously that isn't enough. There is a fileshare on my mac that could in theory be used to access wallet.dat from my PC. I'm guessing I've got a series of failures on my part to unravel. Hm, Eset works well for me, too. i hope you can get your coins back. we really need 2fa asap. Coins are gone. I hope whoever has them really needs them more than me. |

Theft can't be internal as only copy of passphrases is encrypted and protected by 2FA. Have been meaning to tell my wife how to get into our wallets for sometime should something happen to me. There is a fileshare on my mac that could in theory be used to access wallet.dat from my PC. I'm guessing I've got a series of failures on my part to unravel. |

Hm, I do not own any drk's atm but decided today that perhaps i should set up a MN, i've read some time ago their was a vulnerability with them that let an attacker steal the MNs coins.
Now someone loses them again above, MN's still not safe?
Neither of the affected wallets are associated with masternodes. There is no vulnerability specific to Darkcoin that allows an attacker to steal coins, especially not from a hot/cold masternode setup. EDIT: It just dawned on me that even though both passphrases were 48 char alphanumeric, the two wallets involved were using the same passphrase. The other x number of wallets that I have on these computers have unique passphrases. |

Anger fading.
All wallets secure and offline.
I'm going to take this offline for now folks but will post back here when I work out what has happened.

@stonehedge Thank you for your help  You're welcome. |

Wow - looking at the bigger picture - This is really our biggest down-turn since the start of NOV
Looks like we could see a new bottom of 0.004 -...... edited/deleted the rest of this line
China loves to sell-short
With miners selling, a short-sell is nearly a sure thing, as sad as it is, without new money coming in
edit: ugh - .........................good night......................FADES TO DRK
I reckon we've seen the bottom and Billy Big BTC will pump us until we can't walk when the USA wakes up  Just putting this on the new page just in case that for the first time in my life I turn out to be right about something involving money  |

What happened here ? Did DRK catch a Bitbay cough ?  I don't claim to have any particular expertise in such matters but I personally think that an individual or small group is dumping for some reason. BTC performance is hardly festively cheerful. Maybe a mixture of crypto-gloom and one bag holder selling up causing the drop. Just my tuppence h'appeny. Which ironically is only a little bit less than I had to pay for the two masternodes worth of DRK that I have bought today. |

We never did see those 100+ masternodes appear did we?
no Yep, sorry they were delayed, I caught up in the UK air traffic control chaos last Friday and didn't get a flight until Monday, then there was no boat that I needed for the next leg yesterday, all being well I should be back at home base later today and will be getting at least 100 MN live starting this evening or tomorrow, I've been away over one month - hopefully the Internet etc is working when I get back. LOL. I don't know where you were and where you are going to but that sounds like quite a journey. I had a couple of people coming to meet me in the UK that Friday who were caught out by the NATS problem. They should invest more in their testnet |

no Maybe we are seeing a 100k dump in that case LOL - it's only been a few MNs - lol and now somebody is buying back in for about 25% You guy's know it doesn't take much to move the market(s) Just want until the 1st BIG mover step's in - WOOT! (been saying this for a while now :-P I was talking about Otoh popping up and saying that he was going to be setting up over 100 masternodes this week...was just suggesting that he changed his mind |
