Yesterday I noticed when I clicked on Startpage search links for BTC-E from Mozilla Firefox browser, an Explorer browser window would open to the site. The second time I clicked on the link, I could go to the BTC-E site in the Firefox browser. That was probably a clue as to how my login/password information was accessed, my positions traded for BTC, and BTC withdrawl ordered to address of would-be burglar(s).
The email confirmation step allowed me to cancel the withdrawl order (The unauthorized withdrawl was ordered 4 hours earlier and cancelled immediately from my email account, BTC balance intact.). I didn't log into my email account yesterday (I use different passwords for all accounts).
Today a scan with Eset detected and cleaned threats (Java exploit trojan) on the computer. I changed all my passwords today after all this. And so with BTC balance (less fees) I entered new coin positions on BTC-E. I continue to monitor the situation and I am doing all I can to analyze what happened and adjust accordingly.
