I don’t know if the is the right list, but I hope someone can advise.
In the early hours of this morning I sent 1.01 BTC from my Xapo wallet to the address 12iocUthp58E72ZksRmToDFPfM1WCPKv91. This is an address in my Bitcoin Core wallet, running on my laptop, for which I control the private key. My client had been running all day and the blockchain was synced and up-to-date.
The instant that this amount was received into the above address (before the transaction was even confirmed) the entire amount was then sent to another address 1aa5cmqmvQq8YQTEqcTmW7dfBNuFwgdCD which I have never heard and do not have the private key for, something which I did not think was possible.
What the hell happened and where is my Bitcoin?

Hi from the future,
The private key (0004d30da67214fa65a41a6493576944c7ea86713b14db437446c7a8df8e13da) for the 12iocUthp58E72ZksRmToDFPfM1WCPKv91 (Compressed Legacy Address) was appeared in the bitaddress.org source code as a Test Address. I found your forum post while auditing this source code;

You probably generated this address in a improper way. Sorry for your loss :/
