Apologies to anyone who read my posts last night!

[Vod]

Last evening I reported a malware link, and the moderators quickly deleted it.

I was stupid, and wanted to verify it was malware, so I ran it, thinking my anti-virus would protect me.  Nothing happened.

Not knowing I was infected, I went to bed.

I woke up last night with my two monitors on (not in power save mode).  This happens every now and then, so I rolled over and went back to sleep.  Turns out it was a hacker using my computer by remote control.  Since I was logged into Bitcointalk, they were able to make posts as myself.

They also withdrew coins out of my hot wallet.  

I apologize to anyone who clicked on any of the malware links that were posted last night.  Like someone posted, you should never trust a link from any member - even a Legendary one.

I did not notice unusual activity from your profile. I probably missed it all. What did hacker post?
You know, never click on malware links without being at least behind a VM.

That's unlike you Vod

how much BTC did they got from you?

That's the VERY odd thing...

I had 2.89btc in my hot wallet.

They withdrew 2... leaving 0.89, or about $360.

It's not like they were rushed or anything seeing they posted links here.

So the question that will forever haunt me is why did they leave bitcoin behind.

[Lethn]

Let this be a lesson to any noobs who think they can leave Bitcoin just floating around on the net even the experienced members lose it from time to time, np Vod I thought you were posting in quite broken English

What did hacker post?

I didn't get to see any of the posts.    The one thread I saw was a malware link.

This is actually pretty bad that you didn't even get to see what they posted

I can't imagine that feeling of not knowing what they did.

Dunno, I just saw some broken english and immediately avoided it I was pretty tired yesterday

Did you not have a password on? You should post the address it went to. Maybe we can trace or track the user.

Badbear has moved them to Archives for a few hours.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=59.0

The mods worked so quickly and the community responded so fast he/was was limited to two threads and a few random post edits, which have been repaired by Badbear. 

I have removed all malware links.

[raveldoni]

I thought you were doing a prank or something Or maybe you were drunk LOL

I did have a very strong password on it.  But I hadn't sent bicoins in at least a week.  The password was the same as my Password Manager (LastPass).    and I type that in on a regular basis, but I didn't take into account keyloggers.  

I need to download the blockchain and make a new hot wallet.  Then I will post the address and transaction info.  It was around 4:1417 am last night, Mountain Standard Time, for exactly 2 bitcoins.

They're in the trashcan. One of the malware links is still visible but obviously it'll do no harm there.

Ah. I'd advise having a unique password for your actual coins. Are you on windows? If so, go Linux  .

Just one question.. I know no one other then hacker can answer it... but why the H someone will spare .88btc ??

[Rampton]

I saw one of the threads yesterday posted in the wrong section and thought it was a bit strange, but I assumed you were drunk hehe. I guess this is a good example of why not to ever click on links posted from newbs and exercise caution even when they're posted from people like you.

[batmanbad]

I actually find that hilarious to why he left .89 in the wallet xD. If I were robbing a bank and I had tons of extra space in my pockets and bag, why not take some extra? Haha you are one lucky guy to not have that .89 stolen.
