Thanks for the input. I agree about Windows. Normally I wouldn't have anywhere near that much in a hot wallet, but I was prepping for the ICO of BAT and MYST this morning, and that is what those funds were for. From now on my hot wallets will be in TAIlLS on a USB stick, live only long enough to make the transaction. Passwords: Yea, I know we humans are poor generators of randomness; I always use LastPass to generate and manage passwords. Remote software...that's probably the hole, I have to use TeamViewer because I'm out of town a lot (licensed, cost me about $800 if I remember right). I don't have the program running when I'm here, but just the protocols being enabled creates openings. And the funds are still in the address the thief is using after hopping them around and then tumbling them in ShapeShift...in fact he added another 20 ETH 4 hours ago, no doubt stolen from someone else.

Since your account is already compromised, I think this is a lesson already to us here.Though I used jaxx also, but I seldom transact with it.Do you have or are using myethewallet? I think its also a good option. Also keeps your computer safe by not downloading any programs from not trusted sites.
