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

that is scary Roll Eyes

They hacked your PC or were your coins on an Exchange? Does the digibyte wallet have a Debug Window>Console where you can do a "checkwallet" to see if the wallet needs to be or can be repaired?

You can see on the blockchain there were three separate transaction that moved the coins to other addresses. Either the OP has amnesia or someone close to him "borrowed" his DGB or he was indeed hacked.

I think it is impossible for those transactions to occur without access to the wallet. That's a lot of coins to lose. Maybe a dedicated secure PC must be used for very large coins such as that. A PC that is only used to sync the wallets or transfer coins to an exchange and nothing else.

Unfortunately this is one of the persistent weaknesses of crypto; susceptibility to hacking/theft. Not that fiat doesn't have similar issues but the authorities will pay much more attention to conventional theft than of DigiByte, Bitcoin etc. If we can't reliably keep DGB in a hot wallet it really defeats the purpose and usefulness of it although, much as you would do with fiat, there is no need to carry around more than you need for the day. If you have a decent stash it is worth it to keep 99% of it in an offline laptop core wallet or hardware wallet.

Not sure if I would call it a weakness. The issue is that you are your own bank and have to be responsible for securing your own assets. Of course banks lose money all the time but they dont advertise the fact, they are able to make up replacement fiat funds but this inflates the economy so impacts everyone, not just the affected accounts. People, on the whole, seem to be happier with this kind of practice because they feel it protects them but the reality is, everything is totally out of their control and broken. Of course it is difficult for everyone to see it is broken, because replacement funds can be materialised out of thin air but everything gets more expensive and the majority of people can afford less. There is plenty of room in crypto for banks to actually provide secure services where they charge to protect and manage peoples funds but they need to actually provide these secure services and not something that just looks like they do. This is the real challenge for banks! Unfortunately, people cant seem to see past the dollar signs in their own eyes, they perceive anything going up in price as good and anything going down in price as bad and financial authorities can play this game forever to make whatever they choose to use look good but this really isnt the truth, only the same illusion they have always used to keep the majority of us firmly in the sucker category and it works..We all need to change the way we look at things if we truly want to fix anything.
