135 BTC Stolen from my Deepbit account!!!!!!!!

[Raoul Duke]

It seems that linux box is being used to send those scam emails also.

Also, the IP belongs to a VPN service operated by these guys here https://xerobank.com/

You better talk to them, as they will be the ones to have the VPN logs, not leaseweb.

This is the URL for that IP http://vpngate.unlimited-nl.xerobank.com/

I was doing some reading on Xerobank et al. and stumbled upon this: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/metropipe-xerobank-cryptohippie.224184/#post-1341793 (NOTE THE DATE)

BTW, the above is directly connected to Sonny Vleisides of BFL, namely his Laissez Faire City, later going into receivership with Johann Gevers as its auditor, where to date nary a cent/satoshi has been doled out to those who invested in the scheme decades ago.

Aside: Do your own homework if you desire to learn the connection between Gevers, Peter Voss, Alcor, and Hal Finney. During your research, if you stumble upon the term "honeypot" pay it no mind. It's probably just a red herring.

3. Back up the wallet.dat file it creates onto your USB stick.  Better yet, do it onto two USB sticks.  It's located at %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\wallet.dat.  Keep both copies safe and secure.

I would just add to encrypt it with a good but easily memorized passphrase, print out the ascii text and store it on your bookshelf.  Take a photo of those pages, and upload to your flickr account. etc.  I would recommend against storing a valuable unencrypted wallet.dat anywhere.

I would suggest keep the wallet.dat file on another computer or also do not keep the passphrase on the same computer containing the wallet. Since many people have bitcoin stored on desktop wallet and without proper  protection, hacker can hack the computer and thus can get access to your wallets. Many experienced hacker can exploit the security weakness on the normal desktop systems. A special care should be taken by bitcoin users.

More importantly keep data on files that are not at all connected to the internet

I don't know how many characters your password was, mine is each of the three never generated twice 63 character passwords from https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm combined together. At the time Steve Gibson wrote this and offered it to everyone he said it would take one super computer 255 times infinity to crack any one of these three generated passwords. Not sure this is the case now.

Ask Deepbit about IP of people who logged on your account.

Yes I think the first point of call should be deepbit because you hold your account with them and therefore should have a little bit of information as to how the transaction happened and the source of the Bitcoin address amongst others. I'm sorry about it though and wish you luck as you search for the lost coins.

Well , you should be apologizing  jk
Look at the amount of spam the thread is getting right now, done by people who haven't bothered to read more than two lines, not to mention the date.

[HEWRA]

Im really sorry for your loss, but to be honest I think you dont have any chance to retrieve your bitcoins.
Of course you can track them all the time, or hire someone to help you with finding the person that have done it.

[Andre_Goldman]

Interesting!
What can we do?
Maybe someone could try to pose like they are going to do a deal with him to get his real contact information?
Are we sure this is the same guy,  or just someone else using the same proxy service?

shit o read quickly and I thought it was DEBIT account (in opposition to Credit Account )

I didn't look at well and made a post. I think it is the best that outdated topics will be locked so people still can read but not react anymore. I see that on more forums and it avoid unnecessary post.

Translated: A many posters on forums can not read calendars, thus for their protection lock vintage threads, 'vintage' determined by ... FUCK ME! there needs to be a governing body capable of reading calendars in determining what's considered vintage. I formally nominate Pflit as said body's president. Somebody pass him the word, for the odds are that he'll never read this far in this thread.

[MemoryDealers]

Such memories.... If I recall correctly I think the amount of the theft was about $2000 total at the time...

[fathur.aza]

I am the cause of the loss, even I can not think you can leave 130 coins in the deebit.
This must be a good security so no one can steal BTC in Deebit account.

[Gleb Gamow]

If I did the math correctly, the total lost was 135 X ~$1 = ... FUCK ME! My calculator broke. Anybody got the answer?

[romero121]

135 is something very when compared to the current price of bitcoin. Several prediction pit forth by cryptographic personalities suggest that in future 100 btc is more than enough for a successful living. So he has lost a part of his life.

[nothingtosee]

Man this is very bad :/ So much money… 

[Jaya912]

Do you remember maybe you ever log on your account to public computer? Maybe stolen out there.
But i could not say anithing else, its very big amount. Sorry to hear that

How is that you had the intelligence to hunt down, then bump an old thread but didn't notice the date it was created, thus 135 BTC back in the day wasn't worth as much as it is today?

[rcoins0720]

woaah that  is a huge amount of bitcoin the heck
I feel sorry for you it is true that split your coins in different wallet so that it is safe unless somebody try to steal it
the transaction that is made by bitcoin or any virtual currency is not irreversible but some are.. maybe sit to wallet sites he used to freeze his/her acc
