Is J.P.Morgan Resulting to hacking to get his btc???? as he was caught buying it before????????
joking ofc
on a more serious note
ok so,
it started with me trading tenx last night and just about to sell and bittrex started lagging which it never does for me, next thing I know I cant buy or sell as both say 0.0000 I goto my wallet and see a pending withdrawal, so I click cancle and it comes with a error saying action not available at this time, too late,,,,
Where I went wrong is that my email had the same password as my bittrex and same email log in, so even though I had email verification on, they verified it themselves, my friend later reminded me that I had said what the hell is bitirex I'm not clicking that,,,,,, this is what was displaying in google chrome when I typed (bit) into the address bar, which is how I usually goto my previously used websites, I clicked cancel, run ccleaner and anti Malwarebytes and thought that was the end of it as when I typed (bit) into chrome it no longer came up with the dodgy address, but my guess is that it was too late and I had already previously gone to (bitirex)<dodgy website previously without knowing,,,,, now how they managed to get the first result in my history to be this dodgy website is beyond me, so with all combined this is how I lost my btc, first of all they must have put something on my pc to make bit(i)rex.com, come up in my address bar of chrome, then when I typed in address and password, they must have logged in bittrex and my email and withdrawn it all within 1 min,,,,, lesson we need to teach people is number 1,,, use different passwords for each service,,,,, 2,,,,, watch what website address u are going to as the website I went to was an exact copy of the original and I did not notice at any point any problems,,, and last but not least,,,, 2fa google authentication on your mobile phone,,,,NOT A GOOGLE EXTENTION AUTH,,, which I had,,,
sooo I searched my settings on official bittrex and found all previous actions and there ip addresses there was 1 which I couldn't link to me..
I then googled ip tracking,, and it took me to a service provider for cloud computing in other words a remote computer hire website, so I called them up and they have raised the concern for this ip and I have also given them the action fraud crime number, heard nothing of course same with bittrex, no reply, the 3k that we lost was 1k mine 1k mums 1k best friend,,,,,,, my mum has recently paid for my sister to have ivf treatment as she cannot have a baby naturally, the nhs used to provide this service for free, it is now £7000 for first attempt, when I called her at 3am this morning to tell her what had happened she was shocked, @(this angered me the most) I still havn't gone to bed and am still running it over in my head what to do but there really is nothing I can do,, its sickening, that's the only way I can explain It,,,,, if there was such an exchange that offered protection insurance for an extra fee,,,, id be there now,,, and allowed only 1 user logged in at a time....
this kind of thing could be avoided ......
as well as having 2fa as standard with no option to disable,,,
as the average joe who is coming into bitcoin,,,, like me,,, 1 month in doesn't know this sort of thing, I have never been hacked before and didn't think it was possible with modern computers and routers but somehow they made that website address come to the top of my history so when I typed in BIT for bittrex I got bit(i)rex or something along them lines as my first result on google chrome,, now the only other way, is if that bitconnect is exactly this and how they get there profits to hand out percentages I have gone from end to end of my accounts and histories and can find no other explanation,,,,,when i open emails from bitconnect of click login on there website, i now get a message from avast antivirus saying website is dangerous and was automatically closed,,, (avast installed after btc stolen)
I have learned a huge lesson from this and I will have different passwords for everything I use and check every single web address I put details into,,, AND ALWAYS USE 2FA GOOGLE AUTH VIA MOBILE,,,, nobody tells you this stuff as a newbie and I really do think it will be beneficial to a lot of people if you i my story, or even mention how easy it is for it to happen and the worry only comes when its gone, then its too late,
on bittrex you can white-list your own ip address and wallet address so even if they do get in and withdraw your crypto it will just goto your own wallet....
oh and don't use auto insert password and username,,, nothing is safe as I cannot guarantee exactly what way they got in
here you can see all his transactions, it wasn't just me, someone else lost 9.33btc

here is my loss 0.96 btc, may seem petty but its a lot to us and we bought in when bitcoin was high as we didn't know any better and I started trading to get it up to that point we did have 0.82, I made a very good trade on tenx last night to get it to that level we was all so happy and then this
hopefully something here is useful and please ignore my bad grammar and punctuality I am a tradesman I don't need to know this stuff lol
I hope you have taken note of all i have said here and make some changes to your security, and got 2fa enabled on everything
thankfully they didnt get in my steem account
