Someone broke into my Bittrex account and stole my Bitcoin

in #stolen8 years ago (edited)

This post is a downer and I apologize for that.  The following is a documentation of what happened.  To the perpetrator, I would like to say that you may think that you have gotten away with this, but you haven't.  You have caused me hardship.  What goes around comes around.  You will be have the burden of karma upon you tenfold from which you can not escape.  


This was my last Bitcoin.  I had been waiting patiently for for a buy point on Libry credits for some time now.   On 7/26 I saw my opportunity to buy.  The price dropped down to .00065 and I got bought in.  On that same day, some poor untalented fool infected my computer with malware and was able to gain access to my Bittrex account.  They sold my position AT A LOSS as can be seen below.   Then they stole the Bitcoin.  

Seriously they sold at the bottom.

To add insult to injury Libry Credits went up in price by %75 the next day as can be seen here on 7/28/2016:


They also got into my Poloniex account and attempted to withdraw my Steem dollars.  That transaction for some reason failed.   I'm not sure why but I'm glad it did.  


I know a lot of people will say I should have had 2 factor authentication, and they would be correct.  But I have a really old cheap phone that can't do that, so that's why I don't have that. 

I hope to be able to make posts here on Steemit that are worthy of earning back some of what has been stolen from me.   That is my goal.
