When your coins are stolen

[countryfree]

I don't know if I'm lucky, but it never happened to me.

To prevent that, and to learn from the others' mistakes, I'd like to know how some people were stolen. Did it happened while the money was at an exchange? Was that from a hacker who gained access to the home computer?

All stoles ever:

1) Left coins at exchange
2) Got hacked (installed malware)

Not all but like 99%

Thanks for info.
I guess I'm pretty safe as I have 2 computers, and I'm not doing much with the one with my wallet.
I've got some little money on blockchain.info too, it's just convenient.

I was just going to add a number 3 when I saw your post. Blockchain.info online wallet would be number 3. Too many people complain about losing money there, and there was a new story about them being hacked too. I wouldn't leave any money on Blockchain.info.

I don't have much there, but despite a few incidents, I believe blockchain.info is quite safe. If you look closely at their system, it's actually safer than most home computers.

I would try my best to find out where they are/went and do whatever I can to get them back xD
If I could'nt I guess I would try buy back.

Nice. That reminds me of trezor which I always have in mind that it was the best option until I saw the compilation in the list. What I need is something really small that can fit into the corner of my pocket not some bulky stuff. Even cards look too big.
