So, the bottomline is BlockChain.info is not safe either Blockchain is pretty safe if you take the extra steps needed it to make it more secure. Sounds like this was a case of someone using a very simple password that any basic dictionary attack would quickly solve and no other security measures in place if the password were to be compromised. Anyways good learning lesson for both the OP and others to know about. Luckily it was only $2 so it's a cheap learning lesson  Yes,blockchain.info is safe. I haved that wallet there for 4-5 months,never used it much.Until few weeks,ago. Yep,from today i will use only my wallet on computer.That`s the best for now. Now,i changed on all sites password with longer and stronger passwords.Total 24 passwords to remember,again. :/ All the new passwords are long 18-21 characters.I`s it stronger now?Or change it to longers? Not to sound rude but just based on the security measures you used on blockchain.info I wouldn't recommend keeping your bitcoins on your computer if you aren't planning on spending them right now , you very well could be making some simliar bad mistakes on your own computer's security. I think the best advice (as others have mentioned) is cold storage/paper wallet. You can rest easy at night....so long as you don't have someone breaking int your house looking for that piece of paper to steal . |

I have some BTC in cold storage.But,also have some small amount in Electrum wallet,so i can spent them. On my computer is installed avira premium antivirus with internet security.Got a discunt for that. The real-time protection is activated all the time.Also,all that is on fresh installed windows 7 ultimate. |

I would suggest a password manager. I use Lastpass (which I think is pretty secure with 2 FA authentication), but if you are not comfortable with that, use offline manager like Keepass |

On how many BTC sites have you created a new account in the past month?
Were the passwords the same?

Dudes, get serious. NOTHING with a password that's in any human-language dictionary is safe. It wouldn't matter even if you spoke a really obscure language like Quecha (what the ancient Mayans spoke). If there's a dictionary, somebody is going to feed it through a password guesser before moving on to anything more difficult.

That's not entirely true. English language has about 770000 thousand words. If you pick 3 words randomly, and assume it takes a milisecond to decrypt the wallet, that would take about 770000^3*0.001s/2 = 7233483.39 years on average to bruteforce. One word however is not enough. |

I got no clue what any of my passwds are, well except for 1 or 2 massive ones.. just incase... its only annoying if you go on holiday and wana login to something, but then i just change passwds to whatever sites. theirs a mobile version as well but didnt trust it running on my phone. who knows what phone is upto. |

That is what the processed timestamp is, I presume. |
