Or it was just a keylogger. This is typically the cause of these kinds of thefts.
Who knows. Do I have to delete this wallet and set new one? I am afraid setting new psswd is not enough. ..
If it was a keylogger, that will not do.  As I understand, the safest is to use a separate computer, not connected to the internet, to store your wallet and sign transactions.

A Trezor may be just as good, although you must be careful when updating its firmware.


Yes .. I decide to do it like this. Change passwd to 24 letters. Move wallet do other location and connect to Inet only when I will want to use it.....this was a little bit expensive lesson.
The Trezor is only $120.  I have several.  Great hardware wallet.  Safe from a lot of the "run of the mill" attacks.  Nothing is perfect but it is very safe and will be getting even safer as time goes on.
