I lost a few coins but they were just my "trading coins" (still it hurt and is a lesson learned), I kept my load on an encrypted external. I am thanking my brother for talking me into that because I used to have them all online.

I tried to set up the 2key on btc-e, they are set up on my other accounts, but the page to do so on btc-e is in russian. It also asks for a once time code. I have no idea what that code is. I've kept all emails from them and scowered them word by word looking to see if it had been sent and it had not. I emailed them about it and never heard back.
My cell is linked to all and the others you have to verify through the cell, just not btc-e because I didn't have that code to set it up.

The guy who hacked had to do work because my password was scrambled letters, numbers and symbols. Years ago I had simple passwords... until my bother showed me how easy he could crack mine. He's computers and math and I'm history and science. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Mine just happens to be understanding detailed info about computers.

Funny thing is... I read 3 ppl ranting about getting hacked in the trollbox the last two days and as I read it I said to myself, man, that sucks, hope it doesn't happen to me.
It did and it seems to be happening to others as well. Those of you on btc-e, make sure your security is set.
