Someone Stole My BTC - Winners - Jun 16, 2014
I recently switched to Multibit to test with my Faucet BTC earnings. Yesterday, my wallet got cleaned out apparently that I'd moved over. How is this possible when nobody has access my computer except me?
Can someone assist me with this to make sure this doesn't happen again? I'm mindfucked right now.

I'd move all your funds to a wallet on blockchain.info with 2 Factor Authentication. It is more secure than having Multibit on your computer.

I will right now. Good thing my main wallet has never been moved anywhere. I'd fucking hunt someone down.

Agreed move all the rest you have and I hope everything goes well from here out.

You check the bitcoin address in multibit on a blockchain explorer? It might not be stolen, mutlibit sometimes acts weird. Try importing your wallet to blockchain. Had problems when my BTC would disappear but it would just be multibit being a retard, after importing into blockchain my btc showed up.

All of my BTC on Multibit was transferred to a random fucking BTC address. I seriously doubt Multibit had a glitch.

Are you actually being serious? Anyone that knows crypto's here would agree that computer stored wallets are by far more secure than online. Whether it's Blockchain or Coinbase.
Sure. Multibit is only the second best Bitcoin wallet around at the moment. Armory comes first.
Holding your Bitcoin wallet files and private keys encrypted with a password, in a hidden Truecrypt encrypted container is less secure than an openly available wallet on webspace with an unencrypted partition running Google Chrome?

Multibit, let alone any wallet, doesn't just derp out and make your Bitcoin disappear, you probably just either had it out of sync or had another wallet file opened...

If you are not going to use it as your daily OS, then it's not the most secure option either.

With blockchain.info and 2FA, it's almost impossible to steal the coins for the average hacker. If someone infects you while using multibit, whenever you introduce the encrypted wallet's password, you are fucked.

Send me a private message with the Bitcoin address and I'll see what I can do.

Do not use a website to store your BTC or any coin.
Only use an exchange website like btc-e if you want to exchange.
Keep it local.
