Hi i am posting because i had 11 BTC taken from my account just few hours ago. I am wondering if this is widespread or if maybe i have had a security breach of somekind. I have just over a bitcoin left in my account so the perpetrator did not clean me out, but near. Can someone help me out. i not too sure what can be done. i know almost nothing but i want to use this as a lesson. for myself and maybe others. Please let me know what information i can post to maybe shed some light on the situation.

Any help or input, other than trolling would be greatly appreciated.



*********UPDATE*********

RECOVERED MY BITCOINS!!!!!!!!!


This is how i did it. i went to import\export option in the blockchain website, after login in. I went to the "Add Watch Only Bitcoin Address" and inserted the bitcoin address where the coins were stored. It was this address for me 1LqYm5CM6T7QS9kDHRfPckMxZa2nfFN1wV. i added that address into that option an presto.... my balance update to the correct balance.



HORAY! Not too sure why this works or what happened but i am just happy all is well. maybe someone with technical knowledge can fill in the details. Thank you to everyone who contributed in this post and the community at large as i farmed the reddit r\bitcoin for info.

I am smiling from ear to ear.

Do you use two-factor authentication?

look at the transaction list
enable 2 factor auth cuz you are probably on a botnet and somebody is capturing all your logins

2factor ID means you use something else to verify besides just password. Obviously your comp is infected with virus/trojan/botnet and somebody stole your wallet login

Well they are still at their new home as of now:  http://blockchain.info/address/1LqYm5CM6T7QS9kDHRfPckMxZa2nfFN1wV

He already did this (after the fact, but it is done):

i just changed it to two factor

Watch the new address and if they move you may (long shot) be able to see where they go.

Fishy.

Why didn't they take them all from you?  Why did they only take 11?

Are you SURE that you didn't transfer them somewhere?  BTCJam for example?

Brute forcing SHA256 is out of the question, people.

SHA256? What is it?
I found out 5 passwords of blockchain accounts with only a 10 caracters password yesterday, just trying easy ones.
Both 5 accounts were 0 btc :p

Bitcoin network not possible.

Password maybe.

Did you use a strong password?

Still, the most likely attack vector was a key logger as suggested above.  Check your computer for virus, key logger, etc.

Only thing you can do now is watch the address and see where they go next.

Interesting.  Why are you trying to hack into peoples accounts?  Are you a thief?
