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

No, there are definitely huge security flaws with blockchain. The site should not be used as a wallet, and there are even many superior block explorer alternatives as well. Blockchain should not be the place to store your Bitcoins!!!

and why is hacked only at 5 august and all the transfer in that wallet has done the same day and the same hour from several wallet. And if i have a virus why the target only the 0.001 wallet and not the other with many more bitcoins? This is has not sense at all..

It is also possible the blockchain.info app you downloaded isn't actually the "real" app.
Make sure you downloaded the wallet app from their actual site, as opposed to some other site.

I support a decentralized & unregulatable ledger first, with safe scaling over time.

I used the blockchain wallet since I started with bitcoins more than a year ago. They email you for authorisation when a unknown computer wants to access your wallet. I have about 0.5 btc on there for a long time and it's still in my wallet. I think they are safe if you access your wallet securely.

I used them too without 2FA and didn't have any problems either, but I moved to Trezor town yesterday and am very happy I did so. I don't have many BTC but it's still one less thing to worry about.

There was lots of issues before that attackers exploit android bugs to steal bitcoin from wallets. There was an android-Bitcoin Malware on playstore/Google store. But the google have removed it already. Not sure if there are still apps like this. You might have downloaded a malicious software. That's why scrutinizing each app is necessary if you are using android wallet.

So let me get this right, you have had 0.001 bitcoin compromised?
0.001 bitcoin is about 0.2 USD. How will you carry on in life, how will you continue?

Come on man pull yourself together, you should be thankful that you didn't have a large stash in there. This is like losing 20 cents down the back of the sofa. Pull yourself together & be more careful in the future.

That is why do not want trust anything from google store. They have long history of scam applications happily posted there. This is not the first bitcoin app which is rigged.
I saw reports from people who claimed that other 'wallets' of bitcoin "block 'explorers were infected with malicious code. If you want bitcoin wallet - only download it from Bitcoin.org!
You will save yourself problems in the future...

You should be happy that you didn't get burnt by losing a larger sum. It's definitely a good idea to warn the community & tell us about your misfortune but I'd be thanking the Lord above that I didn't lose a significant sum.

Sorry to hear what happened to you but you are also lucky in a way it was such a small amount. My advice would be to stop downloading so many different wallets on different devices. Pick 2 or 3 & stick with them, it's just too risky any other way.

Best of luck in the future.

I have a reply from amazon cusstomer support and i think even them they didnt know what they do with this. this is the answer

>I'm truly sorry to hear about the problem you had with your application "Bitcoin Wallet" which steals your btc from blockchain wallet. That's certainly what we don't want our customers to experience.
>
>Upon looking into this issue I see that, the issue you are facing is regarding the app functionality, hence I request you to contact the game developer. Since the product is downloaded and installed through "Blockchain LTD". They have all the necessary tools and resources to assist you regarding issues such as these. Therefore, I request you to please contact the developer once in this regard.
>
>To make it convenient for you, I've provided the developer's contact information below :
>
>Developer Support Email: bitcoin.wallet.developers@gmail.com
>
>Developer Site Url: https://bitcoin.org/en/faq
>
>I'm sorry I couldn't resolve this issue for you right away and I realize that at this point of time asking you to contact the developer would be disappointing, but please understand that it is very important for us that we provide you with accurate and expedient resolution and I find that this is the best way to be certain that this issue is resolved more appropriately.
>
>-- I'd like to take to your kind notice that, Our goal is for Amazon Appstore customers to have a great experience with every app they order. We test all apps and updates to verify that they work as intended, don't impair the functionality of the mobile device, and don't put your data at risk.
>
>However, I've taken your concern regarding this issue a feedback with high priority, I've also personally forwarded your comments to our Appstore development team for review and correction. I'm sure that our development team would carefully look into this and resolves your issue as soon possible.

Did anyone know the official blockchain customer email to sent a report to them about the situation? I have contact them through reditt but i like to contact them and more official. This is very scammy and break the reputation of this company. The other point is how poor is the quality control to upload an app to this stores. They upload an app to amazon with the comunity bitcoin.org site as their company site!!
I dont know if the email is from the bitcoin developers
