Yes,stop using same single word or combination or simply meaningful password in your accounts where brute forcing will be easier.Use a good password generator or use something complicated like the half of a bitcoin address should be used.Don't use the same passwords on the websites where you have confidential information .

I got once my email account hacked into when I used the same password on another website. That other website got compromised and since my email account was used as the login name I pretty much handed over my privacy. Since then I started using password managers like Lastpass and everything is alright. I strongly suggest choosing one of the password managers and transferring/updating your passwords in there it helps a bunch.

If you don't use 2 factor authentication your account is in risk maybe your laptop is monitored by hacker or cookies monitoring that can convert the cookies into codes or even user and password.. Hacker's in evil zone has a new tools right to hack someone.. Phishing is the basic method of hacking so you should know how phishing works.. If you see the diffirence of the site link from original its a phishing.. But i think they don't need to use phishing because hackers has many new hacking tools like monitoring cookies.. so guys just keep in your mined that always use 2fa security each of your account..

Solving blocks can't be solved without my rigs.

Hackers keep finding more and more creative ways to access player accounts.  Most time the research shows that it is human error on the part of the player getting phished for example or some other form and not an actual hack.  A good example of this is what happened at bitstamp where they stated they were hacked, but they were tricked into sending 5,000 coins to an imposter.  This was certainly no hack, but 2FA would have prevented your unfortunate situation.  Good luck.

Looks you use the same password as other website or you got phishing from hackers. or your account monitored by someone with key logger..
Keep in your mind that don't use your email password account to other just use other password to keep private your password from other site..
And make sure you have latest kaspersky anti virus updated. Maybe your laptop or pc is infected by malware. Also beware about new hacking methods by hackers they are using automated search password from 8 to 10 characters.. So that make sure your password is more than 10 character to secured you wallet...

That is correct, if site provides a 2fa feature than it is better to use to save our money. Otherwise if you use same user names and pass in most of the sites than most likely your account will be hacked because some of the sites are not trustworthy. They may disclose your details or they them self will use the details to hack your account. One time I also lost very small amount like this and learned lesson.
