Just read all that on wiki and have a few questions...

I haven't opened any strange links or downloaded anything lately, is there any other way that program could have found it's way into my laptop?

I ran a complete spy-ware and mal-ware program, nothing showed up. Would that confirm a Keystroke program is Not on my system?  ....none of my other accounts have been hacked.

You need to re-read that again. I didn't say, "my" security is set, I said, "Those of you on btc-e, make sure YOUR security is set".
btc-e is the only account I didn't have 2fa.
I don't get how all pages on btc-e are in English except for the 2fa page which is in Russian. My others sites/wallets have 2fa.

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.

You probably have a keylogger. Sucks to be you! Don't keep more on an exchange than you can afford to lose.


What is a keylogger?

Oh boy..............................................



Thanks, your replies have been so helpful.

I've got a masters in Exercise and Sport Science but don't know shit about computers or the system which is ridiculous because I have a brother who writes code and serious shit I have no idea what he's talking about.

I did not get as deep as this and set my security up this way. Apparently I should have, maybe I wouldn't have been hacked.

Isn't stolen and hacked the same thing?

What is a keylogger?

I just got hacked. It's all gone.

I hear my gmail notification chime on my phone. I check my phone, I have an email that shows I just logged into btc-e... no I fucking didn't, Wasn't even near my computer.

I log into btc-e and check the trade history. It shows I just bought coin with all the money (I was full fiat) in the account and then immediately transfered it to this account.....

It shows I bought on Feb 1st... it's still the 31st where I am.

I emailed BTC-e already... What else can I do?
 

I've been thinking this to be the case since the beginning of the month.

Bitstamp and Houbi holding firm just at/above 780, BTC-e almost to 750.

I originally read this article on Forbes from my phone but could not post it using my phone. When I got home many hours later to post the article it had been removed from Forbes. I thought that was interesting but tried not to read into it too much.

http://beforeitsnews.com/economics-and-politics/2014/01/china-halts-bank-cash-transfers-forbes-2461052.html

(Before It's News)

According to this breaking story from Forbes.com, China has halted all bank cash transfers as shared in the story below. WHY would China’s central bank ORDER commercial banks to put an end to cash transfers? Is this the next step in the global currency war? Could this lead to WW3 as is now being argued by some? With America already practically ‘owned’ by China and getting more in debt every year, this can’t be a good thing. Video reports on China’s money problems also below.
 
The People’s Bank of China , the central bank, has just ordered commercial banks to halt cash transfers.
 
In short, there will be a three-day suspension of domestic renminbi transfers. There will also be a suspension, spanning nine calendar days, of conversions of renminbi to foreign currency.
 
The specific reason given—“system maintenance” at the central bank—is preposterous.  It is not credible that during the highest usage period in the year—the weeklong Lunar New Year holiday beginning January 31—the central bank would schedule an upgrade and shut down cash transfers.
 

A better explanation is that the country’s banking system is running dry.  Yes, there is an increased need for money in the run-up to and during the Lunar New Year holiday, but that is only a small factor.  After all, central bank officials knew this spike in demand was coming—it occurs every year at this time—and a core function of central banks is to manage seasonal liquidity fluctuations.  Moreover, the holiday has not started yet, and the PBOC, as that institution is known, could have added more liquidity to meet cash needs.

It's interesting to see so many "not for" Gox. I have never used Gox but when I got into BTC some many months ago Everyone was using Gox. With the wild $180-$200 price difference to Bitstamp and BTC-E... that's just too volatile for me. I'll stick with BTC-e and Stamp to gauge where the market really is and what it's actually doing. It's much easier to day-trade with those two, IMO.

It would be interesting to poll how many have moved to other platforms and away from Gox. Seems like many are jumping the Gox ship.

Can anyone explain the $200 difference with Gox?

Interesting theory. I agree with it more than not.
Clearly btc is manipulated, patterns and walls are the indicators. They make money on the spikes and dips all while accumulating more coin and controlling it's descent. The question is how low are they going to take this?... I was of firm belief that we would not see $500 again. Now it's a different story and for a few reasons I wouldn't be surprised to see $225 +/-$25.

If this happens it will be a few generations (at least) from now and when that happens ppl will look for something to get around "the system" much like ppl are doing now with Bitcoin.
I'd expect gold, and maybe silver, to become that physical currency and be worth more than ever imagined. Something similar to an underground/black-market type of scenario I suspect.

As history has shown since the beginning of time, ppl always find a way.

+1

The coins will not be offered publicly and will not be traded on any of the platforms.
While the coins are in the hands of the Feds you will not see a change.
What happens after they sell/trade them (wallet-to-wallet) is the real question.

If this has been posted already please delete.

I'm good with that. If it goes up, I make money. If it goes down, I buy more cheap coins.
