Not that isolated as you think, i did find another guy, whose account was hacked 25 days before mine. The chances to be my own mistake are quite low, a check with 4 antiviruses reviled nothing. Chrome history looks OK, my extensions have been verified, my Gmail has no trace of an external device.

My first ticked i opened with their support was me, explaining the problem, and asking them for t a list with recent login ips and informations. Guess what?! They ignored it !

This might seem like a very silly question, but how secure/robust was your password. Did you have a unique password or did you reuse your password on other websites? Given that you did not use 2FA, your password would have been your only defence.

Well, It's a 12 Alpha-numeric characters passw . I don't use the same passw on multiple exchanges, for obvious reasons . I try to keep my ass away from exchanges like HitBTC, and I've always tried to secure my passwords and accounts .I just don't like 2FA , as I find it time consuming, and I don't always have my smartphone around to get a text or to use my gAuth .

Do i really need to be punished for not liking 2FA ?

Trying to brute-force a 12 characters passw will sure take decades
