It is regrettable to hear such news, but unfortunately we still encounter such cases. It is our responsibility to take all necessary measures to avoid being the victim of such an event.

It was indeed a story because OP seems to be newbie and for his coin to stole will make him view crypto currency as a bad investment. But, the OP was the one responsible for the misfortune because blockchain can not be hack if the owner avoid some error which could expose the wallet information. |

Bitcoin online wallets are really vulnerable to hackers, there are only few bitcoin online wallets that have high security. Blockchain wallet have also high security, I think the reason why there is someone stole your bitcoins is because you access in a phishing site or you have malware to your computer.

You have forget use google authicator on your account and easy for many people take back you balance on blockchain account, always use google authicator for all of your exchange account, but better hold your asset on offline wallet.

This is very unfortunate. This is one of the downside of crypto , getting back your money is nest to impossible. Unlike for banks/fiat there is quite a bigger chance to get it back and trace who stole your money. This is why 2FA and other security addons are present in most site, hackers/scammera are also evolving together with the technology , so we should be very careful.

Like others have said, web based wallets are not trustworthy for a number of reasons, and weak passwords can be cracked. When you use a web wallet you are relying on a trusted third party, whereas bitcoin is supposed to be about trust minimization.

The blockchain.com wallet is not responsible in case your funds are lost in your wallet.
Because they do not hold your wallet password and they have no access to our accounts. So we can not blame the blockchain if we lose our funds.

blockchain.com is more upgraded because its a nice site and has a new domain extension ( .dotcom ) , they also support a new coin called xlm ( strllar lumens ) . so far i did not experience an issue regarding on their site . The blockchain.com wallet is not responsible in case your funds are lost in your wallet.
Because they do not hold your wallet password and they have no access to our accounts. So we can not blame the blockchain if we lose our funds.
And why not ? If they dont hold our balance then who do you think holds it ? They are centralized , which means they overall controll the data and money of their users . all exchange / wallets do have a responsible for their users . they can be call a scam if they dont want to respond from their costumers query . |

To avoid such confusions and getting under the traps of hackers it is good to bookmark the respective page which will let the user reach the right landing page whenever he use the blockchain. I've been following the same process and haven't got under any such technical hacks. |

Hacker stole my funds from blockchain
I think you should not blame Blockchain.com. They can not provide security as offline wallets. It is possible to use 2FA as far as I know and this is huge mistake you made. Anyway this is a sign of being more careful in the future. You should consider this as a gain not as a loss. Loss could have been bigger. Another learn to experience thing mate,this will serve as warning to be always careful in every sites we Are visiting because this can be used by hackers to enter you system.sorry for the loss but thats the waybit used to be since this is the most common ways on victimizing cryptonians. |

but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds
but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website
blockchain is very bad because they did not protect my account
can anyone help me?
No one can protect your account unless you take additional measures to protect your own account. It's not about yahoo, google or any other site, it's just you who is responsible. I think it's not appropriate to blame blockchain.com for your own negligence. Paula (Blockchain) Dec 13, 10:13 EST Hello, I'm very sorry to hear about this. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen because your private information was somehow obtained. One of the most common types of these are browser extensions posing as bitcoin price tickers that are actually stealing your account information. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as Blockchain. We've also heard of computer viruses that detect when an address is in your clipboard, and replace the one you wanted to use with an address controlled by this malicious party. By design, Blockchain never has access to users' accounts or funds. If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your funds are always safe with us. Since this information has been compromised, be sure to never use this wallet or any addresses contained within it. I'd also highly advise against using the same password again. I'm truly sorry that you had funds stolen from you. That certainly is an extremely frustrating experience. If you’d like to learn more about how our wallet works, please visit: https://www.blockchain.com/learning-portal/wallet-faq. What paula said to you is right, i also suspect that you may have visited some phishing or unsafe sites. |

There are a lot of great hacker nowadays, so even you use or install the greatest or the most secured online wallet in your phone hackers will still find a way to steall all of your funds, so you should better try hardware wallets like ledger because no one can access it except you.

This is terrible, but I hope you know that we can't get your Bitcoin back from Hackers. But I believe that Blockchain has protected your Bitcoin, maybe your computer has been hacked, and personal information has stolen, and this may be the cause of your stolen Bitcoin.

This is the con of Bitcoin, once a transaction goes through there is no coming back. At least with a credit card case you could call you bank, but you can't call Satoshi.
This is what makes the transaction immutable, it is not a con - it's a feature. If you could reverse a transaction then it would not be decentralized, it would be a glorified PayPal. The onus is on the user to have the personal responsibility to assure: 1. They are secure 2. They send the right amount of funds to the right address |
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul?
