Consider yourself very lucky that you lost only a few dollars, they could have stolen much more if they cared to.

The best thing you can do right now is send everything you can to a sanitized computer with a wallet, and hope nothing else gets taken in the meantime.
a few? it is 100$ and not a few for me and nothing left in wallet all gone:(


although you done a screenshot of your desktop computers wallet history.. do you also have a blockchain.info wallet aswell.

it might be that the funds were just swept into a new "change address" stored in a blockchain.info wallet. (thus not showing on your desktop computer)

if you have never copied your private keys into an online wallet service from your computer, then it is worth checking your computer.

think about where the private key of 1DMLBZE9GY.... came from.. did you import the key from another service. or was it generated by your desktop bitcoin program.

if from a service (paperwallet/blockchain.info/brainwallet) then that may be the source of loss.. if generated from your desktop program and never exported the address out to an online service. then the source of the loss is most definitely on your computer


i checked my blockchain wallet but nothing here also i never export my private key just now made search and learned how to export i think my wallet.dat file which i copied to my D: drive was copied by someone somehow and then access my bitcoin
i just used bitcoin core to sing some messages for a-ads.com but i do this very long ago

Luckily you didn't lose much.  Maybe $5.

Nowadays, with the popularity of bitcoin going up, it will also lead to a higher amount of hackers on the prawl. Pretty much everyone with more than 0.1 BTC should have a hardware wallet. Just get a Ledger wallet for God's sake. It's 15 bucks.
Lucky indeed. He only lost $5 for a valuable lesson. Hackers are relentless these days. I mean I know a few people (just know them by their alias) who hacks into pc's, although they don't do anything. They just enjoy accessing pc's.
At any rate, op should've probably learned his/her lesson by now.
it isn't 5$ Sad i learned now but also lose 100$ and thats too bad for me
