LBR, please leave me alone if you're just going to grief.

I'm not a scammer and am looking for help.

Well, he had been being kind of an ass to me. Accusing me of being a scammer.

I'm the victim of a scammer/exploit - not a scammer.

By that comment I was hoping maybe the community would/could help me recoup my losses - 2 of the BTC were my fathers, and I'm hating the thought of saying "hey dad, your BTC is gone because I got hacked/exploited."

That's all.

Are you Luke?

How do I know you're not the scammer behind that website?

Also, my BTC were taken from my wallet.

I'm not forcing anyone to give me BTC, I'm just asking and hoping (i know it's a loooooooooongshot) that maybe the community might help me recoup some of my losses.

Scammers and con-artists are the scum of the earth man, you/Luke calling me one of those really pushed my buttons - hence the ass comment.

LBR, I am not. I followed that link from a 4chan post last night, as I said.

Can someone please post the exploit elsewhere? I'm out all my BTC because of it.

Again

I did not give/type my password, I ran the javascript and the next time I opened bitcoin-qt there was a transaction to a wallet I did not know for almost all of my bitcoin (i think the exploit only goes to the closest .00, as I lost 2.07.)


The site is CoinChat[.]freetzi[.]com.

Please, can someone explain wtf this exploit is doing? I can't believe I lost my BTC - I had them in a wallet on my PC, encrypted, with a strong password.

I thought my BTC were safe? How did this exploit send the coins without having my password?

Hoping someone can help me figure out exactly what happened here.

From this post - http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1cnroc/my_wallet_just_got_hacked/

"Can someone explain what just happened to me?
I had a very strong password on my Bitcoin wallet - which means for every transaction the password would have to be entered. I clicked a link on 4chan which led me to some some chat site, some javascript was run and it didn't seem to do anything at first - boot up my bitcoin wallet and I see a transaction for 2.07 BTC to an address that I did not know.
Can someone explain what just happened? I thought bitcoin was safe so long as I had a strong password on my wallet. How was this exploit able to bypass the password prompt?
The site was "CoinChat.freetzi.com". FAIR WARNING - THIS SITE FUCKED ME UP AND STOLE MY BTC. DO NOT RUN SCRIPTS ON THIS WEBSITE.

My wallet address is 1Q6euP4nmfn5EpsCovo1xb5PsjDd86CQwX
and the transfer went to this wallet 1Es3QVvKN1qA2p6me7jLCVMZpQXVXWPNTC
AMOUNT: 2.07 BTC
https://blockchain.info/address/1Q6euP4nmfn5EpsCovo1xb5PsjDd86CQwX
Please, anyone got any idea wtf just happened to me?"


Like I said, I did *not* enter my password, the coins were simply gone after I loaded up bitcoin-qt.

This is a huge exploit and a huge turn-off for me - I lost all my money due to an exploit in bitcoin-qt and now I'm out the $500 bucks I paid for those 2.07 BTC.

Can anyone please explain what happened and why? I thought my bitcoins were safe with a strong password...
