It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

How is it possible to get stolen if you had 2FA?
Sorry for your loss, but are you sure that you did not activate it after?

to be safe you need to put your wallet in a encrypted file on a virtual machine (like: virtual box,...) en encrypt the Vhhd of the virtual machine you cant be safe enough.

How the rerouting took place? Because of a virus?

Is it really that easy to steal from a blockchain wallet?

Did the OP download something malicious? or could it have been as simple as a bad link?

Ouch...that sucks...this is why it's very important to have an up-to-date AntiVirus and Firewall program. My recommendation is Comodo Firewall and Comodo Antivirus (google them). These are by far the most updated Internet security programs I've used and they're completely free. Sidenote: you might want to check all settings for Comodo Firewall, as it can scan files in the cloud, which if you're on a data cap, could cause some unnecessary usage. My secondary recommendations are AVG and Avast, both are free and do a decent job. Disclaimer I'm in no way trying to push Comodo/AVG/Avast, I genuinely use Comodo and recommend it to anyone that's looking for a free AV.

Edit: Nevermind I read that you were already using an AV and firewall...

Phishing attacks works well if you dont have two factor authorization for sending your BTC

Having precious files or worse precious wallets on a Windows computer is almost asking to get stolen.
This remind me of my student time. If your where to plus a newly installed windows on the local network, you couldn't get the security update fast enough to have the slightest chance of keeping you system "ms-safe".

Sorry for your loss man..
The way i do is the follow.. I backup my appdata/roaming/multibit and program files/multibit to some usb and when i want to do a transaction i put the maps on my pc and after the transaction i delete it (also the trashcan). In the beginning i had an account on blockchain, but wasnt really related to something.. just registered without any use but i forgot the pass there.. is the account on blockchain important? and do i use a proper way of backup/using?

Sorry to hear that, your post makes me realise the importance of security and how i am not yet ready to buy bitcoins (need to learn more first). So you had a password generator for the site you were trading on and they still figured that out somehow?
