I'm just putting out this friendly warning.
Be UBER careful with how you deal with your Bitcoin security, people.
I had a small number of Bitcoin, .025 to be exact, in a popular crypto exchange online.
Today, approximately 3 hours ago, it was withdrawn to a Bitcoin wallet "in Moscow" according to blockchain.info's block explorer.
Here's the transaction in question:

They haven't responded yet. They'll probably tell me I withdrew it, which according to the transaction history is true. But I didn't authorize the withdrawal, and that certainly is not my wallet address.
I'm not destroyed over this. Slightly bothered? Sure, as it was the only Bitcoin I had after fumbling around a bit in the exchange and losing half of it to newbie mistake trades. You live and learn I suppose. My case is but one more reminder to play it safe.
Time to virus scan the comp, change passwords, the works.
