BTC-E Anomaly

[Galahad]

Hi. I just wanted you to know that BTC-E is not secure and you shouldn't use it. I did some exchanges with it and it worked but more recently my account got totally hacked into. I didn't lose any coins but it's just not worth using. My username and password are not easily guessable, my password is around 25 random chars. All the time I get emails from BTCE telling me I successfully logged into my account, like this:

Code:

Successful authorization.
Login: <username>
IP: <myip>
Date and time: 03.12.13 02:17

I've changed my password but it just happens again. I also tried to email them about the security issues but I got the response "what is the response you would like" ?? Very helpful. I also asked them to delete the account but received nothing.

thanks for the heads up

Were you using any trading platform?
Did you give permission with api keys to anything?

BTC-e seems to have quite a lot of bad reviews now..

Why don't you use a 2fa? Also are you sure that it's not your computer that it's compromised

Maybe you have keylogger on your computer?
And they never answers messages write in english.

was your account actually compromised? where was the IP situated? you realize they send you those emails every time YOU log in, right?

OMG!
Whenever I login to BTC-E I receive e-mail, that someone logged in to BTC-E from my ip! I even checked the time, it matches!

Could this someone be me??

No. It can't be. Someone invisible is sitting in my room with invisible computer and logins to BTC-E using my ip at the same time as I log in.

Wait, invisiblity does not exist. Must be something else. I know. Hackerz exist!

HAAAAKZZZZZZZZ!!!!!

I have heard this couple times at this forum.

Are you sure the IP isn't yours? Are you sure you didn't log in at the EXACT SAME time?

[AuroraHF]

You realize that if you were infected with a remote administration tool, they are capable of using your network as a socks proxy and login with your IP? Think about it.

[PotataSalman]

Sorry to hear that, iv been using btc-e for months already and still no problems

[vabtcinvestor]

It's either you logging in, or you have a virus.  The fact that they send you the email straight after you change your password again, also probably indicates the emails are from your own logins.

"what is the response you would like"

Although OP probably misunderstund things that reply still bothers me. I mean is it even possible for an exchange to answer like that 

[Galahad]

I don't know what I've done to deserve the barrage of abuse, I wonder how many of these replies are sock puppets, as they are the ones using broken English. Every time you log in to BTC-E they send you an email to confirm a successful login. But I keep receiving these even though I haven't been on BTC-E in months, why would this be? Sometimes this would happen several times in one hour, why on earth would I do this?

The only answer I have is that an automated script is logging into people's accounts, checking if there have been any deposits and then trying to withdraw to their account somehow.

P.s. The reason I don't use 2fa is that it is broken! If I click on the link for Two-factor authentication nothing happens. Basically I just want to get out of this broken website.
PPs. But I realise that the IP is my own and the only way this could happen is if someone has spoofed my IP somehow. I doubt by pc is compromised as I have a good Firewall & Antivirus.

Keep in mind in order for the withdrawal to go successfully they need your email account as well since it needs to be confirmed

this doesn't make any sense, as most of this post

[ajax3592]

Many reports say only one thing - BTC-E is doing selective scamming.

So the logged ip's are yours and still you doubt that your pc is compromised. Well it may be haunted. Call ghostbusters.
