Re: Got hacked, lost 11 BTC

One final post, then I'm just going to look forward and leave this mess behind.  Some points.

1. I'm an idiot.  I accept that. I hope sharing this experience can help others avoid the same mistakes that I made.

2. I can't figure out the message signing with the segwit address.  Wish that worked with the Bitcoin Core GUI wallet. Tried Electrum, but had no luck.  Not something I need to waste time with at this point.  If there is a mod or a trusted member of the forum willing, I'd be fine with sending some sats to them from my wallet. Send me a private message.  As others have said, that still doesn't prove anything, so whatever.

3. I joined this forum about 10 years ago.  I don't visit very often these days.  Merit points or whatever mean nothing to me.  Give me negative merits, just does not matter.

4. I have reported this theft to my local police as well as filed a cyber incident report with my state and the FBI.  I don't expect anything from that outside of being a statistical data point.

5. I know exactly where this malware came from that got us.  Website, file name, time, etc.

6. I contacted one of those recover your Bitcoin bounty hunters, but it's a scam.  I figured as much, but wanted to hear what they were going to say. The BS they were spouting was kind of funny.
 
7. I still love Bitcoin, my wife and my life. While this really sucks, it's not the end of the world for us.

Peace and love, yours truly, soulcity

My PC is running back up right now. I'll post the signed message after it finishes and I figure out how to do it. If you feel you need to report this post, by all means, do what you feel need to do

I've never signed a message before. These were segwit addresses they don't seem to show up in the sign message feature of Bitcoin core GUI.  I'll See if I can figure it out.

Not looking for any sympathy. I know I screwed up.

I first noticed when I logged into Koinly and saw my BTC balance was reduced.  
Sad, it means my method won't help you.

I want to clarify - can you see outgoing transactions from your wallet address? transactions which you didn't do. transactions of a hacker who transferred your money from your wallet to himself

Do you know how to use blockchain-explorers?

For example
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer

Yes, I can see the coins moved in  to two addresses in the explorer

Definitely not my wife. We live in a rural setting. She doesn't have the computer knowledge to even launch the wallet. This was an external hack.

I first noticed when I logged into Koinly and saw my BTC balance was reduced.  I then launched Bitcoin Core and it was about a week behind.  Showed my 11btc as it updated, then hit the date of the hack and it went to zero.  Wallet is encrypted and appears to work fine. PC is turned off now and hard drives will be wiped. This definitely sucks, but not the end of the world.  Opportunity for others to learn or be reminded from my mistakes.

Talked to my wife.  She tried to install a voice changer software yesterday from a link on twitter and it didn't install.  This is a windows 11 PC.  I see something new called WingFtpServer as a startup program. That has to be it. C'est la vie  Embarrassed

Yesterday I lost 11 BTC from my Bitcoin Core 25.0 wallet.  The wallet wasn't open at the time.  I don't know how it happened. Lots of emotions right now.

Thanks all.  I let the wallet sit for a bit while I went out for dinner and it found a few peers on it's own.  Only 88 weeks behind now!  I'm an old school Bongger.  Been on the bus since May 2014.
