Everything's fine. I you didn't authorize it they couldn't get in.

Do you have 2FA enabled?

you can try to transfer the fund to another blockchain accout, or get them out from them directly, if you feel unsafe

There's no reason to do this. The only information the attacker has is OP's short name. They don't even have his UUID.

 I did a full check on my computer , there seems to be no virus or anything malware involved ( not that I understand anything like that , I had avast and did a full check Cheesy ) so hopefully it was a one time thing.

 btw , I do not have alias , I only have the full numbers and letters , so they cant have my alias . Not sure how they found out about my identifier tough. That was the scary part.

You don't have an alias? So they do have your UUID?
They're still far away from getting into your account but I wonder how they got that.

In this case at least make sure you have 2FA and you may consider creating a new wallet with a new UUID.

It's impossible for us to know how they got that.
I guess you didn't share it anywhere?
Do you think it's possible the accessed your email?
Or did you log in from a shared computer?

That is scary. You are being targeted. If I were using a windows machine and the BTC amount was large I would dump it and install Linux. Even a clean virus scan does not mean you are safe. I know that seems paranoid, but paranoid is good thinking when you know someone is out to get your coins.

I don't think upgrading from windows 7 to windows 8 would help.
You need to decide whether your information is worth switching to Linux.

I think it would possibly fix any malware you have and may buy you some time. The problem with winxx is that you don't know what it can do. It is closed source and so you don't really own it. Using linux is not a guarantee either. But being open source it can be trusted more.
If Microsoft has a backdoor for whatever reason and the black hat hackers find out... All windows computers would be at risk. The amount you have is not a huge incentive, but since stealing BTC is a crime one will get away with it is still a risk.

Check out Ubuntu. It's free and you can install it along with windows and select it at boot up. It is no harder to use than windows. About as different as Mac is from windows.

Do you mean a new computer with Windows?

You would definitely get rid of any malware you may have now but again you'd be on a closed source OS so you may have the same problem in the future.

Examples of cases that can be found, the A promised gift to the B 0008 BTC / wallet, to get the gift Person A asks private key wallet made before the month of May, and yougive the private key of your wallet to him then do not be surprised if the contents of your Bitcoin will expire or be reduced gradually as the A already has the private key of your wallet on which heimported into his wallet services so your wallet is already in the hands of A, if person A wants to take or send Bitcoin is in your wallet to wallet address other then the A can do so without the need to go into your wallet service account. Never give the private key of your wallet

Just ditch your BC wallet and start using Electrum or other wallet. Someone is trying to steal your funds.
I think someone has made a script or something to guess UUID?

Yes. Unless they have your online credentials rather than a spy on your computer. But I would say it's worth trying an Ubuntu install next to Winxx. I say this because it's free and simple, and it is a much better OS. It will make your old computer sing like new. I'm typing this on a ThinkPad I bought used for $75. That was 4-5 years ago? Unlike Windows, Linux does not junk up over time and slow down. I tried it and now I never use win. When I have to do something on a win computer I am reminded how slow and inefficient it is. Winn is always doing something? The HDD is screaming away doing God knows what. With Linux it does ONLY what I tell it to do. It's miles ahead.

It's been happened to me as well. I have 2FA enabled so i don't have to worry a lot. I've changed my alias name as soon i saw the email with unauthorized login attempt. It didn't happen again though i changed alias to something stupid long name with number etc..
You can change alias name and increase the length of your alias or use Electrum or some other wallet. Smiley

The problem is different here. OP doesn't have an alias, that was my first guess too.
So somebody got his long UUID.

Yeah i think we have the "how" locked down i told my wife about it and she said someone send her facebook friend request and she clicked the email and it forwaeded to a phising website but she says she saw that and did not put her email and password in just closed the tab and deleted the email. Would someone get this by just clicking email?
