.5 of my Bitcpins were stolen today, they cleaned out my entire wallet, TX: https://blockchain.info/tx/dbb26211d7ca5990899c6e15a4a00456fd7a847ac158680536b82965b99bc228

Is there anything I can do? I received an e-mail that someone tried to login to my account, the IP was a Tor relay, but I just changed my password. It was 15 characters, symbols, letters, and numbers.

Scan your pc for malware and you were not using 2factor authentication (If it was blockchain wallet)?

It was blockchain.info, and no 2-factor, I was using Ubuntu, what should I use for malware scan?

Oh Well then you don't need scan just check your email (where wallet backup was stored)
if it's compromised or not and try to remember if you were using same password somewhere else or used your wallet on someone else's windows pc?

I've only accesssed it on that computer. But will a backup do any good?

If someone had access to your wallet backup, he could have made that transaction without logging in into your blockchain.info wallet.

otherwise your blockchain.info wallet might got bruteforced.

If it's true, It's really weird that blockchain doesn't blocks bruteforce attack.

So someone could have acceded my e-mail, and then brute forced the back-up?
