Hello

Just saw that this guy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2069938.0) has the same problem
I also got hacked yesterday. I made a ticket 18h ago but i still got no answer from Bittrex.

Here is what happen:

I was already logged in and i was on the wallete page.
I hit the "F5" button to refresh the page and it starts loading and loading and loading...
After 2-3mins it's still loading. So i closed the browser and tryed to login again...

I enter username and password, press enter and then i get the info "security check - checking your browser before accessing bittex - can take up to 5 minutes"
So i wait... Then i get to the next step. Enter the code for the 2FA. I enter the code and i have to wait again "securitx check - checking....ect"
I don't get access cus it takes to long. So i have to try 2-3 times...but no success.

I closed my browser, cleaned the cache, tryed agein...no success.
I closed my browser again, cleaned cache and coockies, tryed again...and yes...access...i'm back in.

So i open my wallet...and there is a "Pending Withdrawal"! - Status of the Withdrawal "Authorized"!
I was like: What the ####!!!!

I hit the cancel-button again and again but it was to late. Transfere had alredy started.
So i mad a printscreen, opend a ticket and send it to the bittrex support. After the transaction went through, i also had the txid. I made a new printscreen and send that also to bittrex support.
Then i checkt the logins on the bittrex page and i see an ip-adress the tha is not mine and made a printscreen.

Next step: ip address lookup....the ip address is from Russia (another printscreen)
And no, i don't live in Russia....

Well, as i said in the begining...i made a ticket 18h ago...and i still got no answer Sad
