Most likely the attacker had (HAS?) access to your e-mail account associated with BitStamp. He then performed password reset and obtained new password from your compromised e-mail account. Change your e-mail password immediately to something more strong.


Thank you for the answer. It really seems like this is the case. Im currently trying to get my email account activity from microsoft on the day of the breach to find out if this really happened. Although my Bitstamp pw was rather strong, my email pw really sucked. Roll Eyes

And 2FA.

I suggest you sanitize your system and when you're sure, you're clean, change every credentials you have. Mind to share some intel? IP, withdrawal address etc.? I can't do anything specific, but I'd say it's good anyway, to have that data available..

Hope your loss wasn't that big. :/

Edit: is your API access enabled? (Account - Settings - at the bottom)
Hi,

The coins were withdrawn to address 18RUHecChoueC4tspKyxyHtesGZ5DznQhd and sent forth from there.

The hacker first logged in from IP 71.19.243.196 and then 12 minutes later from 209.21.67.218 and did the cleaning in 4 minutes. The IPs are most likely proxy'd as they appear to be quite far away from each other.

What makes this every weirder is that there's no sign of password changes in my account history although I had to retrieve my password via email as it didn't let me log in with my old password. My API access is not enabled.

This wouldnt have happened with email confirmation.
At least not that easily.

As default, I thought I had all three e-mail confirmantions on. I haven't touched them ever and they were all on when I checked my security settings. Im clueless how the low-life could have gotten the coins out of Bitstamp so easily.

As a warning to all Bitstamp users I repeat what many have already said: Use offline wallets and secure passwords.

My Bitstamp account apparently got hacked, all the money on the accout were spent on coins and the coins were then withdrawn to an address outside Bitstamp. I tried logging in one day and the site told me that my login ID ja password didn't match and as I retrieved my password via email, I found my account cleaned.

I have no idea how someone could have found out my ID/PW combination as I store them nowhere else but in my head and I haven't clicked any fishy banners while being logged into Bitstamp or anything like that. Also my password was rather strong. Could be a database break-in?
Anyway, as I and many else have said, keep your passwords secure and your coins offline. Cost me a bit over 3k $ not to follow those guide lines.

Ps. To the hacker if you're reading this, I hope you die a long painful death of cancer Smiley What you are doing is f'king cheap and I feel nothing but deep pity towards you. Now go catch a cancer.

I received my SEPA withdrawal of +$10,000 today and I made it on 11th. Be patient if you still are missing some transfers. Im sure Bitstamp is working as hard as they can to satisfy everyone.

For me Bitstamp is still the number one exchange and Im sure I will be using it in the near future.

Have you checked from your Account -> History that the address you gave them is correct?

If it's correct then this really worries me. Haven't yet heard anyone getting their withdrawal of EUR/USD/BTC since 10th. Im also currently trying to withdraw somewhat big amount of dollars into euros and I really hope there's nothing fishy going on with them.

I'd be interested in purchasing GTX 690. I have only found one shop that sells it and accepts bitcoins (bitcoinblaster), but they ran out of them and dont know when they are going to get a restock. If anyone knows another place where to get it from, I'd really appreciate it if you could share.
Thanks!
