Update
Ok is official. this app
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blockchain-LTD-Bitcoin-Wallet/dp/B010UTSK34/ref=sr_1_2?s=mobile-apps&ie=UTF8&qid=1438875641&sr=1-2&keywords=blockchain
is not for the blockchain.info is from third party. they told me now from blockchain.info so i was scammed Sad Is 100% my fault because i think was an official app but it was not. It says that is from blockchain ltd but is not.

Quote
In amazon app store i think they have zero quility control. I have contact blockchain.info for this and they say they will look at it and i have contact and customer support from amazon. Their answer show me how poor is their quality control

I like to say a big sorry to Blockchain for my first post but my first contact with their wallet was a disaster and competly with my fault. I must see that this app was fake and i think was my mistake that i thought it was from blockchain. I will create another wallet in blockchain asap.

Did you have two factor authentication on the wallet?

Blockchain.info does not have access to your private keys. At least they say they don't keep your private keys unencrypted, but its still possible. 2FA is a must on that website.

is surprise to me how easy they steal this coins. Maybe the mobile wallet has a security issue but i use and bitcoin core wallet in blackberry for many months now without any problem. If you notice the transactions i was not the only person that sent btc to that adress. And all of the adresses has small amounts of btc. i dont know what that means

Bitcoin and mobile don't match. Especially android, since the apps can do anything they want, and if you are not careful you could end up downloading a malicious app that will steal all your btcs. Although I do admit I have my blockchain app on android, but I am very careful in what I download. One general tip is to not download ANYTHING that has to do with bitcoin, like a bitcoin price checker because those are the most risky in trying to steal your money.

i have a blackberry and i think is the official bitcoin wallet from blockchain that in amazon app store because there is no other way to download android app there.
Normally i use bitcoin wallet that has a native client for blackberry. But how can so easy control my wallet? is very strange to me. as i say if you notice is like they have wipe out wallets with small amounts of bitcoin because i am not the only one victim.

Blackberry is quite safe actually, if it is verified from the official app store, and verified to be legit then its legit.

You most likely have a virus or malware on your mobile device.
You should scan your mobile device to be sure.

After broad agreement that blockchain.info is one of the best if not the best online wallet - suddenly the recent couple of weeks we have horror story after horror story and people saying they have closed their account there etc..

I wonder if some competitor(s) wallet(s) are targeting blockchain.info and trying to capture customers...??

Blockchain.info used to suffice, but their technology is out of date and extremely vulnerable. It's pretty well accepted now adays that Blockchain is not an adequate wallet, and it has been this way for a while now. @OP, I would recommend not using blockchain.info in the future.

And if you keep using Blockchain.info, only store small amounts on it. The same applies for each web-wallet by the way.

However, two factor authentication makes most wallets really safe. Tip #1: enable two factor authentication.

After seeing how they screwed up showing uncofirmed transactions as confirmed etc i would first of all use another block explorer and second move funds to an actual wallet like electrum.

Its possible that the virus/malware is programmed to work with the blockchain.info mobile wallet, and not the others.
I'm not saying it wasn't blockchain.info itself, but unlikely.
You should nevertheless scan your mobile device, just to be sure.

and this is strange because the last app that i have install was the blockchain app and general i never install other apps in this phone. I have only 5 apps installed four months now. I dont think is a virus especially in a blackberry phone. And what virus is this that target the wallet with the 0.001btc and not the other wallet with 0.2 btc Tongue in the same phone

it's not blockchain's fault, i believe it's yours and your wallet was probably hacked. Maybe your device/computer had some viruses and malwares or maybe you put your details on a phishing site
