[Purps]

woah if this is true then youre fucked.

[Stultiloquy]

Well, now you know why 2 factor auth is so important

[gripflierGO]

I even dont think SMS as two factor authorization is good enought if your smartphone get compromised as well

Get Avast free edition for live protection, Malwarebytes for strong scanning detection. Both free .

I noticed i had issues logging in yesterday, when it kept telling my password was incorrect. I started getting really suspicious when i tried to reset the password, it would not give me an email to reset it.

I checked my gmail mail and found it had been access from The Netherlands... (I'm from Australia)

this happened in less them 24 hours... in that time I sent Mtgox 4 emails desperately trying to get them to suspend my account. But im so freaking angry that i still have not heard back from them. Are my BTC gone forever?

I have a ton of transactions in RUB currency?

I'm just devastated right now...

I wonder if its possible that Mt Gox got hacked? Did you ever log on from a computer other than your own?
I hope you hear from them..

I will install these later. because i think i will do a complete format first.

Im even considering running a VMware client and using only VM to trade in the future with 2 factor authentication. then power down the VM everytime im done.

I have only logged in from my home PC and occasionally work PC which should be fairly secure.

I check my google logs and found that the IP address from the suspect locations logging in were all TOR exit routers...

Even though it shows it was in The Netherlands, the hacks maybe Russian because they traded with RUB?

Oh wow, Did you by chance also have a BTC-e account with the same password access?
I do not trust BTC-e at all(I have been posting about them all day today- whatever you do, don't switch to them!)

You should have 2FA enabled, and for 60K USD, you should have store it offline.

[TiagoTiago]

What do you guys think of Google Authenticator?

[Bitcoin-hotep]

I think creating an altcoin that has real purpose is the best way to bounce back from something like this

[Slinker]

sad to hear your loss. you should had put that much money in one place online. Its too risky.

File police report first, you may give the HDD to police so they may analyse for malware.

[Vernunft]

 Sorry for that. Always use 2 factor Authentification.

[liamp47]

Damn man, hope you find some way of getting those coins back.

[Sindelar1938]

I am so so sorry this happened to you

Hope there is some comfort to be derived from this whole situation

[Francky85]

Consider it a lesson learnt......NEVER keep a large amount of value in the wildwest of online wallets....there is a VERY high chance you will loose it.

I guess if you did it once, then you can do it again....unless you invested $60k of your own fiat....then I feel very sorry for you.

[prom3theu5]

Two factor authentication or Storing them in Paper form if not trading. COld Storage ftw.

Hindsight is a bitch though.

I feel bad for you man - especially with it being xmas

[LiteCoinGuy]

Why didn't you use two factor authentication to secure your account?

why did you leave 60.000 USD on that account in coins (even worse than in dollars).

why didnt you store the coins on a secure wallet?

why is you antivirus program 3 years old? (correct right   ? )
