This address is receiving stolen BTC!

15Afx45asCysyNd9HE7xeZTkzLgDq2JCEx
http://blockexplorer.com/address/15Afx45asCysyNd9HE7xeZTkzLgDq2JCEx

and this one:

1GB8MHka8SXSFbJMViwkP6ANufts1qGnhF
http://blockexplorer.com/address/1GB8MHka8SXSFbJMViwkP6ANufts1qGnhF

All my BTC have transferred to this address hours ago!

------------

I'm using mac osx, and I have made an encrypted disk image to store the wallet.

A possible leak is that I used same account name and password at MtGox and Dropbox, from the first, the password is compromised, and from the last, the wallet backup is stolen, even though I zipped the wallet file with a long password...

There have been several threads about people who's money was sent to the same group of addresses. We are still trying to figure out how the computers are being compromised.

Could you give us a list of bitcoin related downloads you have made.
Do you feel like your computer is susceptible to traditional viruses?
Do you have your wallet online anywhere unencrypted?
Have you run any namecoin binaries?

Sure it was sent by your client, or did you store your wallet.dat somewhere else as well?  Look up the transaction ID in blockexplorer, and search for the first 20 bytes of it in debug.log.  (It is in ~/.bitcoin/ under Linux.  Have no idea where Wintendo stores it.)  If you see an "askfor tx transactionid" somewhere, the transaction was initiated by someone with a copy of your wallet.dat.  It looks like your own, because you have the same wallet.

@presha

A targeted virus, one that just opens wallet.dat and sends it off, one that you ran on your own accord, will not be detected by antivirus. No antivirus company yet looks for programs trying to access your wallet.dat.

Please tell us what you have downloaded and run lately so that we can find the program doing this.

I'm 99% sure now that someone hacked into my dropbox account, where I stored the first backup of my wallet.dat a few months ago, when I started mining. The file was compressed and with a rather long password, but I assume It wasn't a problem for some bruteforce app to crack it.
I'm so glad that this was my very old backup and I lost only 0.46 BTC (doing encrypted backups only on usb drives now)

goodbye dropbox...

Dropbox didn't require a login password for a while a couple weeks ago.  Anyone storing a wallet file on dropbox should've promptly transferred the bitcoins to a new wallet file.

You knew about this, and didn't move your coins to a new wallet!?  If your zip file was password protected using the old standard zip password protection, it is vulnerable to a known plaintext attack.  Your wallet.dat contains many known strings of sufficient length.  Cracking it takes a few minutes at most on a normal desktop computer, no matter how long your password is.

OP, how strong was your password on the zipped wallet that was on DropBox? How many chars, and what kind of mixture of lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, etc, did it contain?

And what format was the zipped file in? WinRAR?

I hate when people make these posts and make you ask every little detail in order to try to help them figure out what may have happened. It's like pulling teeth. Just fucking give us all the info instead of making us ask for every little thing. Don't make assumptions like "I'm 99% sure that XYZ happened" and then think that posting additional details is no longer of any use. You are of course free to make your assumptions about what might have happened, but at least post all the necessary info that is required to come to that conclusion. If you leave things out like the info I asked above, you leave the possibility in everyone's mind that your zipped & password protected file might actually have been impossible to brute force. And then the community still has no idea what happened in your case and we are no closer to figuring out how people are getting hacked, and your entire thread was a waste of everyone's time. That also leaves open the possibility that all the "I was hacked" threads are troll or FUD threads.

Sorry, OP, this is not meant to single you out. This is a common theme in all the "My BTC was stolen due to hack" threads.

Have you run any namecoin binaries?

Can you elaborate on why running namecoin binaries in general (and not just any binary) is risky?

Sorry to hear about your loss nakowa. I hope you did not loose too much.

Please notify all the major exchanges about this so they can keep an eye on transactions flowing from those two addresses.

A firewall is better than an av scan to protect your wallet.dat Probably there will be more and more exe's that look for wallet.dat and upload to a server somewhere. A lot of time it will come in the guise of a special video player or something along those lines. Even with a firewall, people are inclined to grant internet access to it because otherwise, the video won't play.

In this case sounds like it was likely the copy on dropbox.com.
