Re: How I lost 95 Bitcoin

I bought my first few Bitcoins in 2012; eventually I got around 100 and managed to hold most of them until this point. Yesterday they were stolen from me. Shortly after I made a transaction, I left my PC with Electrum open, I believe there was a key logger waiting for me to type my password as when I returned an hour later, I saw my account had been emptied.

This happened shortly after receiving my hardware wallet (ledger), which I never got round to filling up. Obviously storing £350k(that hurts to type) on my daily computer was a moronic thing to do.

See the transaction here: https://blockchain.info/tx/220caec53bac39cc1a2d2692eecd385bca796fc1a839254ddd622b911344ae97

The Bitcoins were then split and are currently residing at these two addresses:
https://blockchain.info/address/18JCmLzKQoZydXspc6CPwovWVwYtUT7DCx
https://blockchain.info/address/16YiXuw4eaFVvpyhX7mYufwsj77LHrydUx
https://blockchain.info/address/18ZnbD5JQwdEJRwKrb34nXPu7J6pHN1CMR

I know I wont get these Bitcoins back but if anyone knows of a blockchain or malware analysis service or just want to give me advice, I would appreciate it.

sorry for the loss mate i can feel you on 21st of sept i too lost 2500usd of bitcoin in poloniex exchage i think a remote session was on my computer that hacks everything.But my loss is way more bigger than yours .But my money was what i put in it .I mean that was all my hard earned money.
Your is bitcoin growth money ,but on the other had that is huge.Did you contacted the electrum support yet check if they can help any .
And also did you enabeld 2fa on your wallet i mean with that huge amount you must have enabled that.on that case your 2fa will be in your mobile .even there is key logger they cannot spent that without that 2fa.
next time please use 2fa on electrum it helps.
