Half of BTC users are dishonest hackers anyway, your 'friend' isnt going to get any sympathy from these assholes.

I disagree, I think that the majority are decent and well intentioned people, unfortunately there are also a number of scumbags who cheat, lie and steal and its pretty much impossible to tell them apart from the honest folk.

I couldn't delete the thread for some reason, so I've just edited the original post. Just one more lesson to the whole community about how careful you have to be in protecting your money.

I'm sorry for his loss.

Someone will be traveling on those 8.5 BTCs, but it won't be your friend.  Angry

A question:  Did he have two factor enabled?  I have two factor for BTCe login and 'three-factor' for BTCe withdrawals, Login + Google Auth. + Email confirmation.  I am curious if the malware out in the wild is sophisticated enough to get around those controls.

No 2FA. I think using google authenticator probably would have saved his coins in this situation.

2factor auth is essential for keeping funds online.
