I just have to share this with anyone that wants to listen ...... I have been hacked for 4.5 million digibyte Cry Cry

I have absolutely no idea what has happened, but yesterday I did a sync of my digibyte core wallet installed on my computer, and when the sync was over, my wallet was empty.

I checked my wallet address DMHUZWvzfJwdiiivnbfkMW34LBmAt5r9Zv in the blockchain explorer and to my horror I realized that the transactions in fact had taken place.

What has happened? I have never given my private keys to anyone, my pc shows no sign og beeing hacked, its fully updated, have the newest antivirus. My wallet is also protected by a strong password. My pc wasn't online at the time of the transactions. Im a sysadmin and i know a thing or 2 about pc security,

How can this happen? can anyone help me to clarify what has happened before i jump screeaming out of the nearest window Cry

I can't clarify what has exactly happened to you but first thing I noticed, is the address had over 10000 transactions to and from it and this fact on its own makes it vulnerable. You should use new addresses whenever possible.

First of all, very sorry for your loss.
If you are positive your pc wasn't online at the time then the only thing that I could imagine is that your wallet.dat was copied/stolen. This would mean that your pc was compromised in some way in the past. However, as you note, the wallet itself was protected with a strong password.

Other people online who have had (mostly btc) wallets hacked have sometimes left things in their email accounts by mistake, (wallet backups, pass-phrases they wanted to copy etc). Maybe do a search through your sent folder and trash and see if you can find anything.
