all those losses makes me believe that it wasn't a good idea to have your own bank with bitcoin, these people really needs to store their money in a regular bank, and not in bitcoin

anyway you should report to the authorities(if they could ever do something...), not to us


Not at all, you should own and save your money only if you know (always) what you are doing. It is obviously some people don't know what they are doing and especially don't have the knowledge. I think bitcoin technology is more secure than a 'bank' and the BTC concept (decentralization) is not compatible with the bank system (all in one point).

I'm just questioning the use that certain individuals do with their bitcoin, not that bitcoin isn't secure, certainly dealing with bitcoin means more responsibility, more attention to the security

what i mean is that some people would do best if they would stay with fiat, because apparently they cannot handle bitcoin security well enough

Obviously, I agree with you. Bitcoin is not for all the people, because it is really 'insane' and difficult to save your bitcoin if you don't have the knowledge. In this case they should learn more about how bitcoin works, and again : learn, learn & learn.

Your email address made me laugh...
You must give more information than just a tx. Do you have any proof that you got stolen?
Most likely another troll thread from another newbie...

Relayed by ip: Blockchain.info - does this not mean that the hacker's IP has been relayed by a provider known to Blockchain.info?

"Relayed by ip" is the ip of the node that relayed the transaction to blockchain.info. It is not the originating node. However, in this case since the relaying node is blockchain.info, it must have originated there, and that means that the thief probably logged into your account to steal the bitcoins.


Wait, but why the 'hacker' stole only 4 bitcoin and not 'all the bitcoin', because I've checked the *transaction and a change/rest of 0.02883142 BTC returned to the input address (1JEBDTC8opFTiUmM19J1NY8D8h57rF7bgE).

that hacker seems to be generous person who let remain little into the wallet but mostly that thread look like newbie troll,
it doesn't make any sense to me to believe on this story.

I have found out that there was an unauthorised login to my Gmail from a British Telecom public internet access - either a proxy or a public wifi at the time of the incident, from a Windows computer. My Gmail contains the credentials in a non-obvious form.

I also don't believe in this story, something is not gone in the right way. However the 'hacker' moved the bitcoin:

You should contact the blockchain.info support, but I think it's really gone (because they will not reimburse your loss).

I've contacted. I've found out how the attacker obtained my Gmail account credentials, and then my Blockchain.info account credentials. The attacker then logged in from a public WiFi in England to steal the funds. The attacker visited my Gmail first. The attacker took ten minutes on my Gmail, and searched for "bitcoin, identifier, mnemonic" etc. The malware PUP.Optional.Goobzo came from a malicious website. I don't know which website this is, but it could be any website. I normally search tech topics, and the naughtiest things I do on the Internet are Pornhub and even Cryptocoinsnews. It is possible that some of the administrators of these sites run malware. This problem should be fixed by cookie settings. Do not accept cookies except from whitelist. My browser history only shows the authentic link, so I've not visited a phishing site. The malware has been on my computer for some days. So, the attacker knew to wait for the transaction, and likely had access to my computer. From now on, I will not recommend Windows OS for Bitcoin users. I have Linux on the other computer. I will also use paperwallets and Airbitz as a hotwallet. Thank you.

Yeah, the login to my Gmail was made from BT Openzone, Trafalgar Square almost noon. I'm not sure if it's the malware. The attacker definitely logged to my Gmail first. I was using the Youtube Downloader to download stuff for image bytes. Mainly images of clouds, road, and African savanna snapshots for the website intro videos. The attacker must have been keen to see how to get the credential. We discussed the transfer at length on Facebook and Skype prior to sending. If the attacker has my Facebook or Skype passwords, a keylogger, or used a malware at an earlier point, they might be able to get to my Gmail.

So, my Kenya trip is now cancelled for time being. I have to pay back the lost funds to save myself from embarassment, I guess. Then I'll set up new wallets and start from a clean slate.

I think it's time to refresh the OS and maybe purchase a good antivirus nothing guaranteed but might give a layer of security atleast.

That's the best thing to do, it sucks losing money because people suck and they don't care what its used for unfortunately... Sad

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible so you cant get the money back by hiring people to find him!
I am 101% sure that the hacker has done mixing the coins and the best choice for you is to Forget the Hard earned coins and start working right away Smiley

Yup, clean installation would be the best defense, antiviruses are useless to FUD trojans,loggers..etc , just a waste of resources,altho sometimes proactive defense gets triggered, but that just means the
crypter is probably coded by some kiddo wannabe.

OP, its pretty important for you to know how exactly you picked that sh?t in the first place, or else there is going to be some history repetition..

Do you use Skype a lot? You should read this: https://cryptoinfinity.com/Thread-Security-of-your-accounts-Skype-RATs?pid=5057#pid5057

Bro, I am sorry for your loss, but you are not getting your coins back.

Instead of wasting your energy trying to find the thief and somehow convince them to return your coins,
you should focus on how the thief got your coins in the first place.
