I doubt that security system has failed, users weren't responsible for their funds enought, same thing could happen with your internet banking. |

I doubt that security system has failed, users weren't responsible for their funds enough, same thing could happen with your internet banking.
I really hope that it is the case. Blockchain.info is (probably) the most popular online service right now, far ahead of other service providers such as Coinbase and Armory. Any failure will be catastrophic for the Bitcoin. |

Any failure will be catastrophic for the Bitcoin. It's not their fault people don't look after their coins. How hard is it to take advantage of the security features? If people are lackadaisical with security then it's their own fault. I'm sure more desktop wallets are actually hacked than online ones as well, especially with their lack of security features. |

If you got malware on your machine, your bitcoin will get stolen no matter you are using blockchain.info, coinbase, multibit, electrum or bitcoin-qt. People should learn to use 2FA and different passwords for different sites, and be careful with phishing emails. |

I immediately sent an email to blockchain security. No reply. I use google authenticator, 2fa, I created a brand new wallet address, not linked to any other. I can't figure out for the life of me where I was vulnerable. i hope blockchain can help... Do you have any add ons your browser your using that your not aware of?
That really sucks though, not sure how they got to you unless a keylog or some type of phising tatic through email.
Blockchain recovers stolen bitcoins right? or am I just hearing things.. I read somewhere that they got their funds back since it was sent to another blockchain wallet?

Wait a minute, you were using Google Authenticator and you got hacked? I thought that was basically impossible. Wouldn't they need access to your particular mobile device? |

2FA is useless if hacker got a copy of backup wallet or private keys from his PC/Email etc |

Always use a bookmarked page, but most importantly check you're actually using the legit site before you put details in. Did you have 2-factor set up as well? |

If the answer is no then you know why! sorry man  |
