Blockchain.com Accounts Hacked in july

[worldofcoins]

Don't personally have any asset stored on blockchain.com, isn't the site safe from hacks and malwares? Have they not made an official statement regards where those funds might have gone to? I'm suspecting the exchange is part of the people who defrauded the victims. I might be wrong though.

My bitcoins are still in the wallets plus I didn't hear any news of hacked blockchain.
I believe this technology is hugged strong and there's no way to take it down. I request you to post any source link here so we can be more careful.

I do not even get the reason people will be using a wallet that support email. Email is another means a wallet can be hacked, a wallet that provided someone with seed phrase, why email again. To compromize someone's email is easy for hackers as many people are not using 2fa to protect their email. Unlike the best noncustodial wallets that does not require email at all.

Because it's the easiest way to make a crypto wallet - all you need is an email and a password. But I wouldn’t agree that it’s easy to hack someone’s email, especially if the user has a strong password and it is familiar with the basics of computer security. I also have an account there, and email makes sense because 2FA is tied to it - but I would never keep more than a few tens of dollars worth on any online wallet.

Better use safe wallet like electrum for bitcoin or coinomi for multicurrency purposes.

Electrum is safer than some online wallets just because it gives the user full control over his private keys, but no less secure than the same if we consider how many users have fallen victim to phishing attacks over the past 2 years. There are only levels of security that can be achieved by using different ways of storing private keys, but it is not just a matter of what we use, but also the way we use it.

Sure hack had been server side not from email or....

can you show the address that your bitcoins were sent? because honestly I don't like how blockchain.com provided services in the past (I say in the past because I haven't used Blockchain.com for more than a year), they made me stay many days to unlock the 2Fa sms and it was terrible days for me and after that I stopped using blockchain.com, and I had more than 7 attempts by someone to want to break my password, sometimes I would use my cell and via 2Fa sms with the code, I already knew that someone tried to get into my blockchain.com wallet and when I was going to see my email, there was also information about someone trying to get into my wallet

I think you need to heads up on this board, Web Wallets and use the search button engine on the forum and probably you will be shocked that there are too many of them who created a lot of threads towards this web wallet. Technically, this web wallet is very buggy and low response in support team, bunch of complaints against them. If you have huge of Bitcoin amount, I suggest to use hardware wallet.

On the other hand, don't trust wallet that you didn't the one who control the key (not your key, not your Bitcoin). Once your email account were hacked, goodbye to your Bitcoin.

sure I  checked balance is 0.
They have problem with their servers .people must talk about it and leave them before losing money

Well, if there's no balance under your wallet even you check them already on explorer it means that someone already transfers it to another wallet.

Honestly, I don't believe that someone could access and hack the wallet with 2fa and email which is very difficult. Unless from the start someone already monitors your device or PC that can remotely access your device or make a log of your keystroke and clipboard.

So possible the hacker has the secret key of your 2FA and have access in your email.

Why not try to scan the whole PC you currently using if you found nothing then maybe they right the problem is in your side?

Actually, I tried to recover my wallet before with the same email but it show me different wallet's so why not try to recover your wallet again using your backup it must be show different wallet from old to new. Then choose the old one and check maybe your balance is there(Worth trying.)

We cant deny that this wallet had been the first or common wallet when we are still noobs or are still on learning phase.Agree? when you do already get some experience and knowledge
you'll surely realize that it isnt really worth nor ideal to store up huge amounts of coins into this wallet and rather choose a wallet on where you do posses the keys without any need of hassle
of logging in informations or whatsoever. blockchain had already been known to be buggy and they do have a very slow support response which do sucks.There are even some instances of
lost funds which is still on the questionable side neither its an external or an internal one.

But since it gain a reputation people are still trusting that wallet even if there's a few issue's existing on them, but since this incident occur again and their support doesn't give any clear answer to the person affected I think its best for now to avoid them since we cannot really trust them up if they will not act correctly for the issue what their users encounter on them.

Blockchain.com is known for common bugs but if there's a hack that happened, there's no report or news about it. Those people probably have experienced the bug.
But if it's not the bug, they probably were a victim of phishing for blockchain.com. It's very common that wallet is always the subject by those phishing website makers.

I have not experienced that issues in my blockchain.com account, but blockchain.com is a very popular target of phishing emails I have seen a lot of it coming to my email, but one thing that's interesting to take note is there is an email verification before you can log in to your account and it's an email to approve one's IP, I have to agree with the majority here it's always best to store your coin on a wallet that you own a coin or better a desktop wallet.

AFAIK, there is a 2FA reset function on blockchain wallets. I have forgotten one of the blockchain wallet passwords and 2FA, later send an email for explaining the situation and the support team asked some questions before deleting the 2FA from the old account. Social engineering improved a lot since 2017 and the inexperienced users can easily fall to these traps. If the hacker has remote access to the PC, it is easy to repeat the same steps and recover the wallet intentionally. Anyway, web wallets are vulnerable to attacks and should be avoided for holding large amounts.

In the web wallet sub section I can experience there lots of hot topic regarding on blockchain.com I use blockchain nearly consistently since 2018 so I am quite surprised to see that. Subsequent on coming such allegation it's smart move to stay away. As there is a lack of transparency, having phishing mail issue and dominant part oppose using it so I might uninstall it immediately, better go with something like Exodus, Electrum.
