educatedwarrior: did you check your change addresses against the suspect addresses? That would really answer a lot of questions.
One question I have for anyone: Is it possible to change my BTSX and/or PTS wallet password? If so, how?Code: [Select]wallet_change_passphrase <passphrase>
Thank you!
So.. have you formatted yet?
Nothing else was stolen?
Hi roadkill, thanks for asking. I created new account "delegate.educatedwarrior" to accept donations and nothing else has been stolen. However, I'm still having issues making transfers from on wallet to another... error posted above.
Your other coins are safe? Do you suspect BTS was the sole target?
Roadkill, they wipe out my PTS, BTS, and DNS. Probably have control of my AGS now too. These bastards knew what the hell they were doing.
I think a "BTS" Armory software and a hardware wallet would go a long way in the future.
You mentioned the funds were extracted to a particular address. Have the funds moved from that address?
Did you use the password more than one p lace?
Did you leave your wallet open?
Bytemaster, are you suggesting if a person uses their password in more than one place ... if a hacker can get their wallet file and password, mission complete for hacking? Just want to make sure I'm clear what you are suggesting.
Also if a person gets the wallet file, they could do a bruteforce to discover the password, no?
yes to both
Here are a couple questions I can answer now.
Did you use a password manager or did you type in your password each time you loaded the wallet? No ... any suggestions
Have you made an inventory of your wallet change addresses and compared them with the suspect address? I'm sorry, I'm unfamiliar with what you mean by change addresses.. Could you explain?
Has bytemaster or anyone else with technical expertise contacted you to start a forensic investigation? No
Here is a FAQ on the concept of the CHANGE ADDRESS:

In short, a change address is generated automatically in your wallet.
To find the change addresses in your wallet, in debug console of PTS, type: listaddressgroupings
This will show all the change addresses. Compare these addresses with the suspect address. Is there a match?
And to confirm: I presume the funds are missing from your PTS (not BTSX) wallet. True?
Did you use the password more than one p lace?
Did you leave your wallet open?
This could just as easily have happened to btstv because our BitShares client, account, and address is located on a windows computer that visits countless gomorragraphic websites for hours.
Therefore, we pledge to give all excess donations from now until Cyber Monday to:
BTS:codeblooded
By Cyber Monday, all our promotions will be finished, and after we finish paying out the winning contestants, all remaining balance will go towards helping recoup some of educatedwarrior's stolen BTS.
Our heart and BTS go out to you warrior, please accept our humble token of financial support.
We feel for you, because it could just as easily have been us because not only do we not have any adblock or updated antivirus software to speak of, we have brutal day jobs that make computer security learning a low priority to us.
If someone can show us how to remove the titan features, then we can have a public display of who is donating what to our injured brother.
which version have you installed? compiled it on your own? windows/linux/mac?

item: ordinary windows bts wallet vulnerable to attack
It seems to me everyone in this thread (even the victim) seem remarkably calm. I see this event as a major threat to any future marketing effort.
It seems to me that all the appropriate brains of this community should be aimed at discovering all the forensic evidence necessary to identify the profile and source of the attack.
At the very least there should be an investigation and then a recommended course of action for other ordinary windows bts/x wallet users.
This is an extremely serious matter. Where's the emergency response?
