Blockchain Wallet Emptied Twice in 1 week - Funds are Still in Thief's Wallet

[tmall2019]

On 3/2/20 and again on 3/5/20 my blockchain wallet was emptied. I had my iOS phone in my hand the first time and on the night stand while sleeping the 2nd time. I have all of the protections enabled, did not create a "send" transaction, never received an email, SMS text, and no email for the transaction- nothing!! How is this possible???!!!!! My smart phone was never out of my possession, I have not shared my wallet (or even the fact that I had a wallet), logins or access code from my wallet. The funds are still sitting in the wallet that received them- 2 different ones. I can't understand if this is a blockchain wallet issue or a hack.

1st time: Wallet Address is  16sV25N7Z1s41AHmTgsA9ycTxLgXYfzRYz


2nd time: Wallet Address is 15ydZni3kzFtfyyiaLUJnSexE8E8aQom76

Any ideas??

The address that you have funds inside, is it imported by any chance? or have you created it on Blockchain.com?

You can also try and contact the support, they might be able to give you the IP addresses from where the logins came from (if there were any but I doubt it, otherwise you would've received an email/SMS).

It's likely someone got a hold of your seed, in which case they could simply import "your" funds (private keys) in their own wallet of choosing, eg electrum, and thus circumvent all the security measures..

How they got that seed- i don't know. perhaps a RAT, keylogger, again, i don't know. Did you have your wallet only on your iPhone, or also on your PC?

OP, I really hope that you know that the coins don't actually stay in your phone and anybody who has access to your private key or seed can spend them, right?
You should have not allowed people send more funds to your wallet when you've seen it's compromised.


The fact you didn't get any info from Blockchain.com that the funds have left may mean that they were spent using a different wallet (which is easily possible as long as somebody else has your seed/private keys)

Just to be completely clear... You should consider that blockchain wallet and ALL addresses in it completely compromised!

DO NOT use this wallet for anything.

As for how it got compromised, the usual reasons are:
- Created/used on compromised device/computer
- Storing of seed/private keys in plaintext a digital format (email, instant message, word/text document, screenshot etc)
- Phishing hacks

These are obviously not the only way for your wallets/accounts to get compromised, so you should evaluate your setup and how you created/used the wallet.

H there,
At the moment we are a group of several victims of the company Block chain dot com and we entrusted our funds to Block chain Luxembourg and lost over 400 bitcoins, this amount is worth today about 4.5 million American dollars.
We are sure we didn't do anything what could influence to the security of our wallets which were used at blockchain  com (generating paper wallets, storing passphrase, etc). In most cases we were using Apple environment (mainly newest iPhones and official blockchain app).

Unfortunately I must say, welcome to the club of those who lost their coins in similar way. You all have in common that you used iOS and the official blockchain app for the same OS. Given that there are many cases of this kind if you search the internet, I have no doubt that there is some exploit that allows hackers to clear accounts of users.

Another curiosity when it comes to blockchain.com (info) wallet, some users lost coins in a rather bizarre and mysterious way.

Thoughts on this private key stealing mystery
