Any idea on how they were able to hack it ? What kind of setup did you have ? Only a pw ? 2 factor authentication ? Any chance someone has a keylogger on your computer ?

It would be interesting to identify how you were hacked.. not sure if that's possible.
Did you visit any sites that are bitcoin related that could've installed something? A drive-by download. Or some phishing site pretending to be another?
You seemed to take every possible precaution, and yet you were hacked. I'm just trying to imagine how.

My pass was 12 characters long.
12 letters are really not enough, even without a dictionary attack. |

What's not safe is weak passwords. Never were, never will be. |

It's no mystery  Read what he's written. He used a dictionary word as his password! News flash: dictionary words, regardless of the language, are terrible passwords. Using a language other than English does NOT protect you. |

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 |

What's not safe is weak passwords. Never were, never will be. Particularly dictionary words or dictionary sequences of words. Two factor security is important too. |

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? |

Gentlemen, put your coins into a paper wallet and sleep well. While keeping my coins in Multibit / Cryptsy / MtGox, etc, I was constantly alert and concerned about security measures.
It's at the same time the best HODL strategy.
