Great

fucking ASSHOLES should DIE!

Nazi scumbags

Were you using the same password for your Cryptsy, Gmail, and Blockchain accounts? Did you not have two factor authentification enabled on any three of the aforementioned accounts? If yes, you have no one to blame but yourself because this was bound to happen by not taking security seriously. If no, you should probably ditch the Symantec for a product that is capable of protecting you from a keylogger, or you should simply avoid malware sources altogether..

Edit:
Yeah....

Painfull exposure to the biggest reason btc can not become truly mainstream: accounts not linked to owners....
Wallets are a pretty mainstream concept at this point in human history, but if I remove your ID from your wallet, the wallet and its contents are no longer linked to an owner.

i was wondering that too sounds like same password on multiple sites but he has avoided mentioning that so i suspect he did..

coindesk ran a story on this kinda stuff and what i though was funny is Google puts sponsored links first i guess (i don't see them i use scripts / hax / adblockers etc)
what was interesting though is Blockcahin was the example in the new story showing how the google result was a fake site that looked legit.

last year a guy on cryptsy chat got hit by going to google to go to cryptsy and he went to a fake site that stole his login cookie.. he got owned hard !

i have for about a year told people don't use google to find any crypto sites.. for starters
get smart..

there is gonna be a lot of people ripped off.. inevitable

I was using very different passwords for both.

The google incident you described above is actually what happend to me, I think. What I find strange though is how they got my blockchain password, as I did not link this to my google e-mail account, nor do I ever e-mail passwords to my gmail account. FYI I also have other accounts outside of Cryptsy/Blockchain, that they did not hit.
