How is this possible

[TheGr33k]

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 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?

I would lime to say a website called thumbzilla is great,  owned by ph and no ads. Keeps the computer safe and lets be real most people need some alone time. The stupid ones click on ads  and unknown sites.

Thanks guys, but everything is fixed now, am using Multibit local wallet and is on my Linux home machine. Not at my work, i don't touch anything there anymore, so far so good.

[50ouncebrew]

just use blockchain  , you prob got a rat on your comp maybe

[kingofbitcoin]

Not ever touching blockchain again. I have started with Multibit at home, going great so far, so am sticking to it. Added a password to my wallet there ,although not needed, but just for added security. So far so good.

What's your online wallet?

Does that wallet need GA to withdraw?

If the wallet needs a GA code to withdraw, it means the hacker is very powerful. He can bypass the withdraw GA.

It's not safe to store coins on online wallet, I prefer big exchange wallet, so I can withdraw money easily and it's rather safe.

[kingofbitcoin]

Yes he bypassed GA, but not because he is powerful, because he had my private key of my wallet. I have GA in different other places, not even once were they breaked. So i doubt him being powerful to break GA, its the safest bet yet. And i keep my phone without internet access just to be sure.

I do not know if it's a good idea to use Gmail for 2FA on any wallet... those are the most targeted accounts on the internet.

Linux will give you a false sense of security.. yes you will most likely get less infections, but it takes only ONE infection for you to be compromised.

FREE TIP : Avoid 2 topics on this forum.... Politics and religion ... You make enemies very quickly and you will NEVER agree with someone from the opposite side. 

[kingofbitcoin]

Thanks, maybe Linux is not that secure at all, but at least i have the local Multibit wallet sitting on my PC ,rather than to rely on Blockchain.info to store my data. I said goodbye forever to Blockchain.

Please if you have had a keylogger on your computer, please reinstall the whole OS.
How good programs like Malwarebytes can be, I have often seen that there is a hidden infection staying after using almost every scan.
A clean OS reinstall is the only way to be safe.

Further more I agree totally with offline / hardware wallets for big amounts.

[kingofbitcoin]

That would be ok ,but you are not understanding me. I have Multibit in my home PC. Its my work PC who is infected and personally i dont care much about the work PC, never using BTC in here anymore.

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 (I know ,i am too stubborn but thats me)

If you don't want to re-install Windows and you're not certain that your PC is free from keyloggers, I would suggest you use a virtual keyboard every time you put password in your Bitcoin wallet.

All modern Windows versions come with in-built virtual keyboard. Also may top antivirus programs come with virtual keyboard, not sure about ESET.

I have started the Multibit new wallet at my home PC running very smoothly so far. Thanks for your suggestions, as i say i don't care anymore about my work PC.

Among all the Bitcoin wallet online at this time as Coinbase, Blockchain,... Which one is the best ?

Thanks !

Neither of those.

Coinbase is NOT a wallet, it's an account.  You donate your bitcoins to them, and in exchange they give you an account in their database.  The account indicates a promise on their part to send an equivalent amount of their bitcoins wherever you want whenever you ask.  You have to trust that they will always be able to fulfill that promise.  There are many things that could destroy their ability to fulfill that promise (system down, hacked, embezzlement, accidental or intentional destruction of private keys, government agency, etc).

Blockchain is a wallet.  There have been a variety of issues where individuals have lost bitcoins from their blockchain.info wallet. Weak passwords and browser plug-ins both contribute to the security issues. It can be relatively safe as long as you are capable of identifying and preventing the following potential issues:

• malware on your computer
• malware in the javascript served up to your browser
• weak password
• exposed password
• failure to create and properly secure frequent backups

Sounds like classic user error to me. Better luck in the future, friend.

[CryptoConfusion]

set up your new wallet on new machine / HDD i think!

How much got taken?

[kingofbitcoin]

It is on a new machine, so far running so good, no problems at all. Its on my Linux machine, can't open it elsewhere like i did with blockchain opening it everywhere and i got what i deserved. It was not much thank God, 0.018 BTC in total. At first 0.013 then i added GA to authenticate, but not much can be done with anything once the hacker has your private key, can bypass anything. Feeling great with my Multibit now. I hope this cannot be hacked so easily considering running on Linux. Added a password just to make sure.

Never use a online wallet

THis except for your "spending" BTC.

My main storing wallet was created on a harddrive that has never been connected to the interenet.

[kingofbitcoin]

Multibits connects online not through webpage, but it connects. Its working cool so far.
