The only way the 2FA was braked was only because they knew my private key and that disable anything and permits the hacker to do what they like. Anyway this is old story now. Am sitting at my home with my new Multibit wallet, which looks as awesome as it can ,knowing here i am in Linux and no one can touch this wallet of mine. So thanks again for all your help mates.

Its not because you are on a Linux you're immune. Still take care of the computer that holds your wallet!

Now i have uninstalled google, did a restart, scanned with Malware bytes , the 7 unwanted programs google chrome extensions are not anymore. Changed the wallet 2FA to email , google email which i have also via a SMS message. Am surfing with Firefox, its feeling great now with ADBLOCK , and avira browser security ,plus malwarebytes and Eset smart security latest update. I am giving a final go to my old wallet. What do you guys think Huh(I know ,i am too stubborn but thats me)

Even doing this, you are likely not safe.  If you have a key logger in there, you may still have something lurking.

You need to reinstall the OS (backup your keys and anything else that is important first).  Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, whatever.  Malware bytes may have missed something and you should not assume that it caught everything.

You don't want to have to go through this again, so I'd make sure that you reformat and reinstall.

How do you store your backups?

Could access to your backups + passphrase have been how your coins got stolen?

You need an OS reinstall on any device that has communicated with that infected computer. Antivirus software isn't enough.
From a freshly installed computer reset all your passwords as well.

Here is how you do it right:

Dont celebrate too early, because altho using linux makes you less vulnerable it doesnt make you untouchable. There has been an increase in linux attacking mallware
designed for people like you, who think that "there are no viruses coded to attack linux systems"
Just be careful mate, better make paperwallet's, just to be sure

cheers

Thanks all for your replies. What i mean is i am using Multibit now, so the chances to be hacked are far far less then blockchain.info. I know Linux is not immune, but also cannot be infected with 490 spywares like Windows. No matter if i reinstall, keep Malware bytes and an antivirus, Windows still have 99% of chances to get infected. It sucks definitely.

Use multi sig wallet.

Also, keep your BTC in a cold storage.

Finally, do NOT download internet porn.

If you still want to use online wallets, try some linux distribution that is set just only for that purpose. Maybe TAILS?

Online wallets are always risky. Never keep all your bitcoins in one place.

if it requires google to protect it, then its an online wallet..

try using local (on your computer) proper wallets, rather than having privkeys online

Mate i am Muslim just to let you know, i don't watch porn let alone download it. So your sense of humour is wrong in here, although i like humour very much.

I am using local now Multibit from my Linux machine at home.

I doubt it was a joke and was sound advice to prevent infections. When Ever I help someone clean their computer from a virus I tell the not to watch porn online or if they must have to to go to redtube, Pornhub, Xhamster, yourporn, ect... and don't click on any ads even if they are an older married couple and always hear the same thing that no one watches porn.... but they always are getting infections that usually come from going to shady porn sites ... why is that?

Perhaps you don't ever watch porn but you would be the exception to the rule because arab countries are some of the largest porn consumers in the world:

The Middle East already has the world's most popular porn star ­— 21-year-old Mia Khalifa from Lebanon.

According to research put out by PornMD, the terms “creamy squirt,” “blowjob” and even “Kendra Wilkinson” (Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend) appear on the top 10 most-searched terms coming out of countries like Iraq, Syria and Iran. The word “Arab” is the number-one searched porn term in Egypt, Iran and Syria. Some get a little creepier. “Pain” lands at Iraq’s fourth most-searched term, while “father daughter” and “brother sister” come in at numbers four and five for Syria. Both the words “mother” and “mom” appear on Egypt’s top 10 list.

Search Engine Request Keyword Trends for keyword sex:
1.  Pakistan    
      2.  India    
      3.  Egypt    
      4.  Turkey    
      5.  Algeria    
      6.  Morocco    
      7.  Indonesia
      8.  Vietnam    
      9.  Iran    
     10. Croatia    

This is not an attack against Muslims as the US state with the highest consumption of porn is the religiously conservative mostly christian state of Utah. The correlation seems to be that there are much higher amounts of porn consumption with sexually repressed areas and people where their laws or culture make sexuality taboo.

But sure, you don't watch porn, just write down those sites above and make sure you don't click on any ads when you aren't watching porn in the future. Additionally, keep your OS patched with the latest updates, make sure your flash and adobe reader plugins are up to date, and use a separate browser that is locked down for casual surfing with no flash, no javascript, https everywhere, no java, ect... and when you aren't watching porn you can switch to the other browser that allows for flash to visit the safe list of porn sites, that you have no need of (but bookmark them anyways  Wink).

Damn, all this security talk makes me not want to watch porn as well.... time to do some security research.

Just wanted to say i am not from any of these countries ,lol, i am from Albania, i know a lot of my co citizens watch porn, but i really don't.  If i will do i have kept the list site which not to visit from your post.

And honestly if that Khalifa something you re talking, i hope someone cut her head off , i mean it really, shame of the Muslims if she is who you says.
