Help..my Bitcoin Account (blockchain.info) Has Just Been Hacked! by engrrichie92(m): 3:12am On Nov 29, 2016
Hallo house,

woke up this morning to find my bitcoin account empty when as at last night it was over 500 dollars

checked my transaction history and realise my funds were moved to an unknown bitcoin address

and i didnt get mail to authorize any login as i used to either

Has this happened to anybody before ?..is it recoverable or have i just lost over 500 dollars worth of bitcoin to hackers just like that?
thought they said the site was secure
Bitcoin experts in the house
Your response on this would be highly appreciated

Pls enable 2FA asap. It's hard to hack ur account with dat unless it's an inside job. I mean only wen someone has access to ur fone. Sorry about ur loss tho.

Op, before the incident did your device behave unusual eg frozing or hanging, copying your bitcoin address but getting a different address after pasting, key logger not working properly.

Inform support, not so that they can retrieve the funds, the money is gone, enable 2FA and second password, disable tor access
Sorry

We need to be careful when carrying out bitcoin wallet transfers and transactions. My laptop recently caught a virus bug that changes any btc wallet address i copy and wanna paste in my senders address tab to another bitcoin address (of the hacker i guess). You may not notice it except you are vigilant at the last stage of sending funds.

Make sure you have a strong antivirus or antimalware, enable 2FA authenticator for all your online accounts, i mean all eg btc-e, coinbase, gmail etc, you could use google authenticator or authy and change your account passwords as often as possible.

Always make sure ur blockchain security center is 100% Green. Not red not yellow. Enable 2FA, second password, backup phrase, password hint and disable Tor

I think you mean wallet address. As I undertsand, your wallet ID (used for loggin into your account) cannot change. the changing of the adress is to prevent a potential hacker tracing your transactions

Hello Everyone,

There is a blockchain hack going on. If u get a mail that ur blockchain wallet will soon be blocked due to technical services and request you to click on confirm to login to your wallet,

The mail is created with the blockchain logo and color to deceive many blockchain users.

PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON IT. PLS DO NOT ENTER UR WALLET ID AND PASSWORD ON THAT SITE.

IT IS A REDIRECT SITE TO STEAL UR DETAILS AND HACK UR ACCOUNT!

First of all Blockchain will never send u a mail from blockchain.com

Their website is always blockchain.info

Secondly the site has no HTTPS on it so ur information is at risk!

3. Blockchain will never send u a maintenance mail for any reason and ask u to enter ur details.

This is a ploy by hackers to steal ur Bitcoins. So please do not click on any link in such a mail.

Pls forward this message to all groups and Bitcoin users to help keep their Bitcoins safe.

Be on the alert. Hackers are developing something new everyday.

Save ur money and be your brother's keeper. Send to everyone on ur list or groups that use Bitcoin so they don't fall into this trap.

Blockchain.info
