I was hoping that things would be done to your benefit in the end,but maybe you do not need to give up on this.You should try to contact their support on a regular basis,and also post on every forum,reddit,twitter,facebook and wherever you remember.I see you have some contact in Russia,so why not report this case to their authorities?Chance that it will do something are very small,but I would personally try to exhaust all the possibilities to find out the truth.

Thank you for following up. I am posting a red alert wherever I can. The least I can do now is warn the others on the potential danger. As for reporting to authorities, I will follow up on that too. To tell you the truth, I don't expect any miracle coming out of that, which is why I kind of delayed with it.


I'd say you have a rat (Remote Access Trojan) on your PC from some newly released altcoin, nobody has to login to your account to steal coins when you are using it as they can just YoBit Code balances out.

Thank you for a comment, but it was not a remote access trojan nor could it be any other malware for that matter. It would be so simple if it was, but it wasn't. If you will go trough earlier posts, you will see why. Long story short:
  • both the devices I use are/were clean 100%,
  • both the devices were off at the time,
  • a separate device (mobile phone) for a 2FA (TOTP codes),
  • time schedule on/off on the mobile phone (it was off at 2AM)  + fingerprint unlocking,
  • no activities from my IP addresses between 2018-01-04 22:06 and 2018-01-05 08:37
  • no login notification
  • no new IP aprouval notification

I went trough my security dozns of time and found nothing out of the ordenary. Not a single thing.
The only proof of what happened to my BTC wallet is laying within Yobit logs and apparently they don't need to, don't want to and don't care to look at them.
