So I've only had my wallet for a couple months, casually buying and selling bitcoins. About a month ago I mysteriously lost about $30 USD, it said that I'd sent the coins the night before but I didn't remember doing that. I just passed it off as me being tired and making a transaction I didn't remember. Well it happened again, with the same amount, and I'm pissed off. If anyone can give me advice on what to do in this situation please help On another note, the blockchain address said the coins were sent to the middle of the Gulf of Guinea. Yeah, definitely wasn't me.... https://blockchain.info/tx-index/1e75ffea8e1d8a22696d32c7ddbd373a8c5212c4656fb755e65d6b694f3566da?show_adv=true

what doesnt make sense to me is the fact that if you were hacked , why not just wipe your wallet? why take 30 twice?

The location in blockchain doesn't actually mean the location of transaction.

^^ this... it's one thing when people steal credit cards and try not to make gigantic purchases so that it doesn't get frozen and you don't notice, but with a bitcoin wallet there isn't really much risk of getting caught or getting in trouble, so I don't see why they wouldn't just take everything at once. I'm guessing you haven't been hacked, but I could be wrong.

If you were really hacked , first thing you can do try to scan your computer to check it's infected by malware or not, some people lost their bitcoin due this malware, steal every information you type on your computer.

It could turn into something much worse so the best idea is to just wipe the whole computer and just make sure everything is removed from it.

Were you drinking on the nights of the alleged hacks? Do you have periods of time where you can't recall things? The problem might not be computer-related. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

I also do not understand why blockchain.info provide this information. Where is the location referring to?? and what is the significant of this location?

All security online wallet is always can be hack anytime its just made by human so they can crack or hack it anytime.. But you prevent it buy checking all link before you login and make sure you have updated anti virus(kaspersky is better for me to use) Make sure you firewall is always on to prevent from remoting.. after doing this steps you should reset your password and change it with 13- to 16 characters dont use password below 7 because there's a software that can crack it.. Also put some capital letters.. To make sure they can't login... You can also try base 64 code encrypt and decrypt for password..

Where is the location referring to?? and what is the significant of this location? that is the bitcoin node that broadcast the tx to the network not necessarily the owner or sender of the bitcoin. move your mouse over to the "?" mark in front of the "Relayed by IP" and it explains what that information is.

I had some of those nights too, when I were younger. You wake up the next day with a burning sensation in your ass and a $100 note in your hand. *JOKE The first time you thought your wallet were hacked, you should have changed passwords or switch to a new account.
I hope you are considering it now, or you should stay away from the stronger drugs. ^smile^

I just I'm not sure. Better to use cold wallet for storing your coin, just don't use online wallet, exchange wallet, even if just for daily spending, better use mobile wallet for daily spending.

Which wallet were using?
Which ever it was you should have considered it compromised when you lost the bitcoins first time, stop using that wallet, move your funds to another one, format the pc and install security softwares and if it was a web wallet then make a new one, add 2fa and also change password of your other important accounts.

I'm guessing you haven't been hacked, but I could be wrong. if he was indeed hacked, the hacker technically took everything. I mean 13kSK.... is wiped clean and 12SA.... has only change in it so maybe the hacker took a pity and left some in the wallet for him or maybe he just wanted to take a round number (0.065 BTC) but to say anything for sure, OP needs to provide us with more information about his wallet type (online, pc, exchanger, offline,...) and also tell us if he used TOR for accessing his bitcoin wallets.

The fact that the amount was the same each time makes it seem like it was not a hack and just some kind of error, maybe human maybe not?

If there is ever a suspicious outgoing transaction in any of your wallets, switch wallets immediately!
The first thing you should do is make sure it won't happen again. In the worst case if you don't trust your computer fully, send it to an exchange with 2fa enabled. That way, even if you are keylogged, the coins will be protected (note I do not recommend storing coins in exchange, but in this case with low value it may be ok temporarily).
If you were really hacked, the hacker might have left coins in there in the hopes that you might refill it again so he could take more. Definately change to a new wallet with a new private key.
