RE: $20,000 (7BTC) Stolen from Bittrex (captured live on video) Huge lesson learned

in #bitcoin8 years ago

two words brother, Hard Wallet! Never leave home without it! Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm doing the same thing, saving for a nest egg for my family. 99 percent of my coins are offline on a hard wallet. I'm using a KeepKey. Check it out!

Sort:  

wait, why didn't they just transfer all of it? not that they should've done it anyway. have you figured out how they did it?

All of it except 2 btc was in alt coins...you can see in the video they were killing my sell orders then selling the coins for current market price then trying to extract the btc....thats how they got the previous 7btc out. I was just fortunate i logged in and spotted it before they got the rest.

Hard wallets are in such demand that they're backordered for about 1-2 months, some longer. In the meantime, use paper wallet.

Good advice..ty
