Offline wallets on a USB with armory and other shit also ain't safe, nothing is safe, this is the internet.

Offline wallets aren't connected to the internet.  That's what offline means.

USB stick is the achilles heel. But more secure than online computer, i agree

Go to the http://ubiquity.io website. There's a contact phone number there.

Thanks, I'll give them a call! Maybe they can give me the name of the owner of that IP adress.
 If they won't agree on giving it to me private, I guess I gotta file a police report. If the police asks them to hand out his name/adress etc, they are required to do so, right?

I haven't called them yet, I sent an email instead.

Got this reply:
"We have forwarded your complaint to our customer. Thank you!

It seems like a company called "Nobistech" is using Ubiquity as their hosting-service. Hence they have forwarded the complaint directly to Nobistech.

It's quite likely that the computer from which the connection was made was itself hacked.
Using hacked servers to cover their tracks is pretty standard behavior of internet criminals - much easier than installing TOR and using it correctly :-)

Maybe it's time to use VM and linux for your wallet?

Or learn to use paper wallets. It is complicated, but worth the troubles

[dianemajor]

Looks like you lost out..Sorry for your loss!

[easynote]

Huge loss... Be careful on next time dude, and save your btc's offline

[jeffhuys]

I havent heard anything from the company I sent the email to. Been allmost 2 months now.

Is there anything at all I can do or do I just have to deal with the loss?

+ file a police report

[Jeremy1977]

2FA should be enabled, and you should keep your fund in your own wallet (offline wallet is even better).

[Samir_H]

+ file a police report

I doubt police will do anything.

@OP deal with the loss and make your cryptocoins safer.

Great information, thanks! I am trying to figure the online/offline wallet thing out right now so this helps a lot!
