JUST HAD 0.92329 BTC STOLEN - HOW???

[tyz]

Hmm... it is really not probable.

Probably I am a little paranoid but every time I am creating a new bitcoin address I check first if it is among the first 10000 addresses. I even wrote a simple python script to check this

No one has access to my pc at all. I honestly can believe I've been hacked... all that trouble for 0.9btc? I've run scans with every tool out there... Nothing. This pc is hardly ever online, I don't ue it for browsing or anything. I'm stumped... and really pissed off.

@bennybong: If you reference to my post then you need to know that the computer does not need to be online in order to be unsecure. What I meant is completely independed from your wallet.

Read this to get what I meant: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=354518.0

Anti- virus software isn't foolproof and cannot catch many types of infections.

All it takes is one click on a link in a phishing email, one infected jump drive or external plugged in for a brief moment, visiting one page that has a 0 day exploit, 1 piece of infected pirated software or crack, or an insecure wireless AP. This is why you should never store what you cannot lose on a windows machine connected to a network or at least use a hardware wallet.

But 0-days? I only have a few new usb drives that I use... all that for 0.9 btc?

Aaaaand it's gone

Look at the fucking tag eh put on the address! Cunt. He must be browsing this!

The attacker is unlikely to know what your balance until it is taken or attacking many people at the same time.

There are many 0day exploits in the wild and your computer if not properly patched with the latest flash/browser/OS patches can be vulnerable to older exploits as well.

Even if you use WPA2 on your local router , if you live in an apartment building and a hacker lives next door and can see your hotspot they can perform a dictionary attack or bruteforce attack on your wifi password and than serve you up a malicious page with a 0 day exploit.

No necessarily as its a safe assumption you would be reading that with or without this thread. He is definitely and asshole though.

Yeah I am actually pretty hot on security and pentesting. Which is why I'm so confused!

Someone check with Electrum as well.

If you have any IT job or a job as a network administrator you are a much higher target for hackers and the NSA/FBI(remember many of them are corrupt as well)

You should always assume that whatever you have in your primary computer that you install software on and browse the internet with can be instantly compromised. I find that this is a good thing to expose myself to with small amounts of bitcoin as it is a cheap way of telling me my computer is compromised(never happened yet) If you do not use cold storage than you need to at least use a hardware wallet.

It doesn't matter that you are security conscientious as security is difficult to do right and all it takes is one mistake or one unlucky encounter.

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

I just deposited the above amount to one of electrum wallets. Almost immediately the balance was tramsferred to:

Noth of the transaction have any confirmations, it just happen immediately. How is this possible and how can I get my funds back??? I cannot understand how this is possible. FML

My address:

https://blockchain.info/address/15WapDB1AsoKKp4vMTims836Jxn9mJdHJA


Help!!!  

Very weird, I would assume you maybe got infected by a trojan of some sorts. The way it went is strange, as you didn't input that address. Maybe your electrum installation is compromised?

Again, I'm going to go with the point of failure wasn't you, I would press that there is a failure point with the VPN.  If someone has your info, they could just wait for you to confirm signing the transaction then send it immediately thereafter.  I've read cases of botched tor exit nodes that pass fake blockchain.info credentials to users to log the credentials. 

was the btc cold for a while beforehand?  why were you moving it to this address?

Trust me. I'm on a boat, with a personal crappy old laptop. No one has been near this. My internet is 150kb/s tops and I hate it!

No it was fresh from localbitcoins. My VPN is iPedator which I trust

[RocketSingh]

U could try www.bitundo.com... but it has already got a confirmation.

Wow! Interesting share! Have you ever tried this site?
I don't think its legit! I will try it right now and edit this post

No. I have never tried. I'd be interested in your feedback as well...

[inBitweTrust]

Trust me. I'm on a boat, with a personal crappy old laptop. No one has been near this. My internet is 150kb/s tops and I hate it!

Additionally, think about anyone else that has access or come in contact with your computer or any usb drive in the past. Additionally, since you are on a boat with a 150 kb/s connection that also brings 2 concerns to my mind : 1) you aren't keeping your windows box patched because of your extremely limited bandwidth. 2) You are using a wifi hotspot that is compromised.

The fact that you are so incredulous that you have been compromised is a security concern in itself as their are so many ways to be compromised with the way you store bitcoins. At most you should be upset and slightly shocked that you were compromised but aware that you made some security shortcuts and need to do better in the future.

[bennybong]

NEw address has a new tag:

https://blockchain.info/address/1FpsRjQXFgiGzLNwyb2UC7bDNkj99xwdnf

wtf does that mean?!?

He's implying an Electrum vulnerability...?

Windows is up to date, I don't think the hotspot is conpromised. It's a very good system, I know the owner of this place and I've talking with the IT to try and get me some more speed! and I use VPN anyway (which I had to pay for.
