Well, that was fun..

had a machine’s security compromised this morning. they gained access to one of my trading accounts and promptly dumped all the coins and rode off with about 3 bitcoin worth of loot. not a bad haul for 30 minutes worth of work. wiped out over a month’s worth of mining / trading for me though. i sure wish i could get my hands on the little weasels… ::)
found malware the machine. they could have grabbed any amount of information with that. basically, they logged in as me, verified the confirmation email, and made off with my fortunes :P
i think the worst part is spending hours in damage control mode… -

Thanks for the heads up deroekeloze, that will help some members beef up their security.
If anyone would like to write up a tutorial on security with the exchanges, it would be welcomed in the tutorials section.
I’m also going to be cheeky and ask members to send a few FTC or some donation to deroekeloze to help ease the pain.
