How I lost 95 Bitcoin

[coinholic]

I bought my first few Bitcoins in 2012; eventually I got around 100 and managed to hold most of them until this point. Yesterday they were stolen from me. Shortly after I made a transaction, I left my PC with Electrum open, I believe there was a key logger waiting for me to type my password as when I returned an hour later, I saw my account had been emptied.

This happened shortly after receiving my hardware wallet (ledger), which I never got round to filling up. Obviously storing £350k(that hurts to type) on my daily computer was a moronic thing to do.

See the transaction here: https://blockchain.info/tx/220caec53bac39cc1a2d2692eecd385bca796fc1a839254ddd622b911344ae97

The Bitcoins were then split and are currently residing at these two addresses:
https://blockchain.info/address/18JCmLzKQoZydXspc6CPwovWVwYtUT7DCx
https://blockchain.info/address/16YiXuw4eaFVvpyhX7mYufwsj77LHrydUx
https://blockchain.info/address/18ZnbD5JQwdEJRwKrb34nXPu7J6pHN1CMR

I know I wont get these Bitcoins back but if anyone knows of a blockchain or malware analysis service or just want to give me advice, I would appreciate it.

For information leading to the recovery, I can pay 3 BTC + 50% of the recovered bitcoins

Now that's just a bummer dude! I could just imagine how you felt..I mean that's just a load of money lost! A lot! If that had happened to me I just don't know what I would have done! Yes there is very little chance of you retrieving your bitcoin, but no harm in trying to find ways right? Do try. Even just a glimpse of chance still means hope.

Say goodbye to your bitcoins. Its easier to prevent something to happen, I say that cause one newbie is coming here to complain after losing coins, where were you until now?
I don't believe that he had this bitcoins in his possession in the first place, in all this time here I saw many similar threads and what we need to do know, to solve his problem?  
One more imaginary thread on this forum, moderators need to make one more section for this kind of topics, same as when newbies complain on casinos and how some casino took money from them.

[eternalgloom]

I hope you can recover them in a way but as much as I read it is impossible...

I wouldn't say that it's impossible, just very difficult.

It can't hurt to file a police report and if you're lucky, the creators of the malware might get arrested in the next few months or years and he might be able to get his coins back.

You cannot do anything now. They are gone and it is over. Even if you find how your bitcoin were stolen and by who you cannot prove that. Also you cant go to the police since bitcoin is anonymous and there is no way to prove that you owned that 95 bitcoins.
You have to think about every possible person who knew that you have 95 bitcoins in your wallet. Did you posted somewhere on the internet? Did you told your friends? Did you posted anything on the internet that can lead a hacker to you? If you are absolutely sure none of this happened ,it could be an inside job but there is a very small chance for that

Why wouldn't he be able to prove it? He has access to the private keys of the address that held the coins before they were stolen.
Looking at the rest of your post, you haven't read that they got stolen because he had installed a keylogger.

[SushGo]

This is painful dude. People should take care of their coins, proper security measures should be implemented to secure the wallet from such hackers.

[Palmholder]

Hello. But what if you just know information about this huge transaction, and you are telling now that it has been stolen from you to get scores at this forum?

[waynechong1995]

That's rather unfortunate to hear that, the amount of such BTC could be enough for the rest of your living.

Is there anyway to prevent or knowing that your session have been compromised? some sort of malware detector?

[BrannigansLaw]

As I've said before, hopefully this will serve as a lesson for readers to be mindful of computer security and take preventive measures. This post will definitely help steer people to be more cautious. There is a tendency to underestimate the capabilities of hackers.

I have being hearing these sort of losses for a very long time and it is still happening ,i am really sorry for the loss and nothing can be done to recover your coins unless you file a complaint and send the copy to each and every exchange out there so that if the hackers try to move the coins you could catch them and get your coins returned and that is the only hope you can have right now.

[Hexah]

That is a huge amount of money, sorry for that lose on your coin hope that you can bring it back. Well, you can create a topic here in forum to open this problem of yours and make sure to give some huge amount of reward for you to be able to find some talented member here in forum to help you with your problem. Better to be safe next time and I hope this could be an eye-opener to other members also here in forum. Goodluck, hope you find some perspective person that could help you.

Yes, it should be a lesson to all of us.  Not to trust anyone and to just simply login from computer somewhere.  Sorry tonhear his loss but I do not think that we might get those bitcoin again.  Probably it was already keep in a safe wallet.  Maybe it was already converted into cash to keep it.  It is sad to hear that it was stolen.  Pity him because he or she do not play fair enough.  

[hous26]

I hate how everytime someone makes one of these threads atleast half the responses are "you should have..."  Come on guys, he knows this already and there is no reason to kick him when hes down.

I'm sorry for your loss.

[56KbKid2]

ya know what? This smells fishy! You say you've been in bitcoin in years, and yet your account is only a newbie? Come on. How stupid do you think we are? Your signature is not even correct..

it's another scam. Dont fall for this BS

remove '1NndjYLXPgHmSFYEk5exCabGbcynzqpii4  ' from the signature and it's valid.. I just tried on that website.

When I login with my original account (56kbkid), I get the message:
'Your account is locked because it sat inactive for years after the password hashes were leaked in 2015, and was therefore at high risk of being hacked. Email react-vdnp8@theymos.e4ward.com to get it unlocked.'

Why would I remove "your" wallet address? That is the whole purpose of signing messages! That you prove that you own that address. But obviously you dont own it, so you didn't loose any coins. You are just trying to scam! Unbelieveable how many in here is falling for your claims

Are you trolling or ...?

It is not only the actual value of your coins ... it is also about your commitment to keep your coins since 2012, regards to it, your coins are priceless ... I hope you get it back.

Keep us informed (if it does not compromise your investigations)

Stay strong ...  

[CryptoWorld87]

OMG that was a pretty huge amount of money i feel sorry for your losses i think you that was a lesson for all of us that we have to be a vigelant dont just simply trust to anyone

[lite]

That sucks, sorry for your loss. your coins are possibly gone, but you could try this site's service (http://sytech-consultants.com/private-individuals/digital-data-recovery/bitcoin-wallet-recovery), they might recover your coins.

[dificanovi]

I also grieve for your suffering. you lose 95 bitcoin, you lose a lot of money. I just give a prayer for the missing bitcoin you can get back and hopefully you are given patience by god.

[MANCRYPTOS]

Sory for your loss man! I hope you will get more sooner!
It will be lesson for others...

[flippener]

Wow that's sad news. I can't even imagine owning 95 BTC.

[Tyrantt]

I'd be so hit by that loss, I'd probably just give up on bitcoin altogether... Sorry for your lose dude, but I'd report to the police anyway, it's a huge amount of money, not to be ignored by them. Also, if they're eventually caught, you'd maybe save someone else from being robbed.
