Yes, so...in the days that followed, I talked with several people that helped me to see some holes that I had created in my security fence. I think that over time, I just became very complacent with my crypto-security. (something that has been rectified!)
If you want to see how I think it happened - I go into more detail in the post RIGHT before this one. It's called "'don't worry - your wallet is too small to hack" or something like that
You can find it right on my blog - and really - you should read it, because you might be doing some of the things that I did too!!! and if I never get my money back, and I never catch the evil person(or people) who did this.... if i ONLY give advice to others on how it can easily happen to them and to fortify their fences??? then its worth it.
and if you have ANY questions about things that I did wrong - where I'm not clear - please do ask!!! I'm an open book and I will for sure let you know where I made FOOLISH mistakes that could have prevented it all!so please do read @charcoalbuffet
