BitShares PTS / PTS Stolen ( and i've never been hacked before ).
« on: November 16, 2013, 09:30:40 pm »
I've been trading bitcoins for 8 months and i've never been hacked before.
Third day doing PTS and I've got hacked. I've lost 200 PTS at least.
Just a heads up for people to be careful and take that extra step. You don't want to be out of the PTS game too as I now am.
How it happened:
Either my protoshares-qt.exe on ubuntu or my windows virtual machine was compromised. My wallet was not encrypted ( i wish it was... newb mistake?). Still, not quite sure how it happened, as even if my wallet wasnt encrypted, they had to have my secret or access to my computer. Meh, whatever.
Here is transaction proof of my wallets being emptied:

If anybody knows the hacker and wants to convince him to be a good guy and give me back my coins, that would be cool.
