Re: Tor+Blockchain wallet hacked? 633 btc loss
this is the problem on BTC transactions, it is not completely secured and you cannot run or complain to someone because no one owns it. Unlike banks, when you lost your credit card or someone stole it, you can cut off its future transaction to your bank but BTC is not.
Yep, that is the problem with Bitcoin. You can't be a baby and run crying to your mommy when you fall down and hurt your knee. And your mommy can't tell you that you are a bad little boy and take away your allowance. With Bitcoin, you have to be an adult and that sucks.
I'm aware of all of this guys. I, like the OP, am just trying to make sense of the exploit. I follow diligent security procedures. My computer is heavily encrypted with multiple backups and I employ little snitch to guard against keyloggers. I also rarely browse with javascript enabled. A lot of my coins are in cold storage and when I do employ blockchain.info I always use 2 Factor Authentication. To me, it's pretty impossible my laptop is exploited because of how my laptop is setup.
Since I certainly didn't accept any dodgy security certificate, I also can't make sense of a TOR exit node attack since https is employed by blockchain.info.
I'm just looking for answers.
Have you considered that maybe someone close to you stole your coins? I'm basing this from the fact that you had 2FA enabled and you seemed to have everything that someone might exploit remotely in check.
I have yes thanks as this was put to me straight away by someone. It's completely out of the question. As soon as I step away from my computer it's encrypted. Even if I go to the toilet. I never leave it open.
Damn, I'm stumped. Sorry I wasn't a help at all. This is Mission Impossible type shit.
