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?
I don't think so, unless something got installed. If she really just closed the page immediately I don't see how it could steal any information.

Sounds like a phising email to me. Never click the links directly if you're not sure. Use a bookmark so you know you've got the correct address. I dont even have that much coin i only have like 0.06 left right now afrer İ bought some stuff . Would a formating help? I dont want to yse linux it sounds complicated buy i have win 7 and this could be great time to upgrade to win 8 . I am not sure if that would help tough would it? The thing in mind is they couldnt get to my coins but what if they have something else?
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? Edit Well that wouldn't help if he downloaded malware keylogger.

I don't know who and I don't know how but someone tried to log into my blockchain , it send me an email if I authorize it and I deleted the email and did not authorized anything but it kinda scared me , what should I do now? Is everything alright or should I do something about it?
The best thing to do is to enable 2FA if you want to continue using your blockchain account. If you are getting worried that much, then go and transfer the wallet balance to a wallet that you have the complete control of. In that way you'll feel secure and whatever happens to your coins, it is already your fault.

Antivirus can sometimes be annoying, but most of the time they are helpful. Good thing that there are no keyloggers installed or whatsoever. And as for such links, don't click those immediately and think about it before clicking as it may or might harm your computer and your funds as well.

The point is not only the coins its all passwords , the thing is we do not know how much information the hacker has maybe he only had the blockchain or maybe he has a whole lot more and the last one scares me . Blockchain one is easy i will just move the coins to a new one but if he is too deep inside he might have everything and maybe even will have the new ones as i change it

KEyloggers can be downloaded and installed within seconds and anti-viruses will not protect you against all threats. In fact, they wont protect you very well at all from sophisticated programs so I wouldn't think you're safe just because you have an anti virus installed.

Either re-formatting or getting a new computer will solve it for now. The problem is you could get it again, or it's even possible you have malware in the backup files you get and you may pass it to your new computer when restoring your files ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Yeah i wont move anything to the new computer other then some pictures and documents in word and excel . Is there any possibilty of pictures or documents be contiminated? I dont think so but it doesnt hurt to ask.
Also if he has something sophisticated to find my identifier why hasnt he touched anything else?that suspense is right out of /r/nosleep for me.

If somehow Keyogger has been installed on your PC it will affect only your current system. If you format it with a CD/DVD and install a fresh copy of windows then you're safe.

Yes, you won't have any problem unless you mistakenly visit any malicious/Phishing website. Yeah i wont move anything to the new computer other then some pictures and documents in word and excel . Is there any possibilty of pictures or documents be contiminated? I dont think so but it doesnt hurt to ask.

Scan those files before moving to new PC. You can also scan file on virustotal.com (Online Scanner up to 128mb).

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 Have you been trying to point this towards the CLAMS giveaway by Justdice? It seemed doubtful to me too that why would they ask someone's private key in chat to be able to check whether the address was fund before so and so month, and will give some CLAMS at their site itself, but yes, I credit them based on them processing withdrawals of those CLAMS.

Usually pict or video not effected, maybe the hacker give your computer some malware or something scary from pishing site. Better to install anti-keyloger, clean your pc or better to backup your data, transfer your btc to safe wallet, too many blockchain complain from user better to move your coin to desktop wallet or hardware wallet. ~iki

Reformatting will do the trick. It's like having a brand new computer. You could use ubuntu instead as well. Very unlikely you'll get any viruses or keyloggers on that so your coins will be much safer than on windows.

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. still there is some chance, that his e-mail can be stolen in the future, better to take extra precautions and move those btc from there

I don't think so , he could just log into my email and authorize himself so he could get all my coins anyway? The thing that kept him was authorization at first and he can get that from my email anyway?
I came back home to check everything else , he still seems to not logged into anything other then just trying to get into my coins once at that time. There is no possibility that someone happened to know my identifier somehow right? There must be some keylogger or malware or whatever must be involved?
If someone knows my private key , can he know my identifier?
Also I get them to a safer location now.
Thanks everyone for your helps.

Before getting all paranoid and following ridiculous and unhelpful advice, please consider this: everybody gets those emails. It is called "phishing". The scammer send the emails to thousands of bitcoin users and hopes that someone will use the links in the email to log in to their account.

No. I mean the email you got from blockchain asking you to authorize the access. What we're saying is it's possible that wasn't really from them.
