Hello Guys,
I recently lost over 6BTC on Localbitcoins. The support team claimed my email address was hacked into which I doubt cos while the bitcoin was sent out of my account, I was in the middle of a trade which I asked the buyer to cancel because I wanted to change my trade price. After asking the buyer to cancel, next thing I saw was the bitcoin transaction over 6.3btc leaving my wallet pending confirmation.
At that point, I couldn't login to my account anymore. I immediately raised a support ticket which wasn't attended to until the transaction got completed and the bitcoin was successfully sent out of my wallet to an unknown bitcoin address.
Usually when a new browser is used to attempt login into an account, a login guard email is sent to the registered email address but in this case no email was received to show a new browser is attempting login. This is the only way I know that my account could have been hacked into and a successful transaction completed even in my absence. But in this case, the transfer was done while I was logged in.
Please I'll appreciate contributions on ways you think the bitcoin was stolen as I am not convinced that my email was hacked into. And even if it was, I dont have my password saved in my email.
I'll be available to answer further questions
