Basically, your wallet's hacked. Someone gained access to your private key & they did spend all of the btcs in it. The same case did happen with meh a few days ago. However, the best thing that you can do is to format your computer & start with a new wallet (like meh) & you'll be fine. Simple as that. Take that as a lesson & next time dont download random things over the net.

Just to add to this answer: most likely, you are 100% correct, altough it's usually done by a keylogger, or remote controll software that has infected your pc... not by really hacking the wallet. Just to be clear: if you used a password to protect your wallet.dat and your pc is clean, chances of a wallet getting hacked are very, very slim.

A couple lessons:
- always use a virusscanner, malware scanner and a firewall
- password protect your wallet.dat
- if possible, use a hardware wallet or paper wallet

That can indeed be the problem... If somebody manages to download your wallet.dat and you didn't use a (strong) password, the attacker could have transferred all your coins to his own wallet.

You made two mistakes in your setup: you allowed somebody to have access to your wallet.dat, either by saving it in a "wrong" place, or by letting your computer getting infected. A second mistake was not to password protect your wallet.

Luckily for you, the damage wasn't that big, you should learn from your mistakes, and make sure you never lose a coin again Wink

Luckily you didn't lose much.  Maybe $5.

Nowadays, with the popularity of bitcoin going up, it will also lead to a higher amount of hackers on the prawl. Pretty much everyone with more than 0.1 BTC should have a hardware wallet. Just get a Ledger wallet for God's sake. It's 15 bucks.

there are a lot of safe system and not only an hardware wallet...
you can create an off line address (and priv  key) where you send your btc to save.
you can use electrum (and remember only the word that you need)
you can use some 2FA that need your control...
and so on Wink

Hey, $100 or $5 is still a lot for someone living in a third world country and having a hard time surviving. {Not saying you are from a third world country, just making an example} The thing is, these

people do not care who they are stealing from... for them it is just an opportunity to get money. Until we find better ways to help people to protect their money, we are no better than any other system.

The weak points in the security of Bitcoin is still the human behind the keyboard.... We need to eliminate those weak points and reduce the third part services that can be hacked. Put more hardware

wallets into people's hands and make them cheaper... they are less likely to fail.  Roll Eyes

Lucky indeed. He only lost $5 for a valuable lesson. Hackers are relentless these days. I mean I know a few people (just know them by their alias) who hacks into pc's, although they don't do anything. They just enjoy accessing pc's.
At any rate, op should've probably learned his/her lesson by now.

although you done a screenshot of your desktop computers wallet history.. do you also have a blockchain.info wallet aswell.

it might be that the funds were just swept into a new "change address" stored in a blockchain.info wallet. (thus not showing on your desktop computer)

if you have never copied your private keys into an online wallet service from your computer, then it is worth checking your computer.

think about where the private key of 1DMLBZE9GY.... came from.. did you import the key from another service. or was it generated by your desktop bitcoin program.

if from a service (paperwallet/blockchain.info/brainwallet) then that may be the source of loss.. if generated from your desktop program and never exported the address out to an online service. then the source of the loss is most definitely on your computer

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.

Consider yourself very lucky that you lost only a few dollars, they could have stolen much more if they cared to.

The best thing you can do right now is send everything you can to a sanitized computer with a wallet, and hope nothing else gets taken in the meantime.

That really sux....I don't care if it was one sat or one bitcoin, it sux to have your system compromised.  Just the hassle of having to trace the source and cleaning your system is bad.  It doesn't matter how much one has in their wallet....they should always make sure their system is secure so that they don't have to mess with having to fix their machine!
