OK, so your Mtgox and Drop box were compromised... buy you say: "encrypted disk image to store the wallet" <--Was that PassWord the same too? and then you say: "zipped the wallet file with a long password"

So, you backup your wallet to Dropbox that could have been compromised, in a Encrypted .DMG that might have had the same password, that was Zipped with a long PW <--- BTW Zipped PW is by far full-proof...

I am thinking it is more likely your computer is compromised.... better check that also...

We hope to solve this very soon .... http://www.bitprotection.info  more coming soon...

And no more messages from nakowa?

I'm telling you.....again my theory....

Everytime a "BTC stolen" story gets bumped to the bottom of the page or off the page a new one pops up. Legit? I don't know.

But it's like clock work. It's like the troll brigade just wants that front page of threads to be tainted with scandal. I don't buy it. Or I should say, I'm very skeptical.

Do you think you could answer the additional questions people have so we could continue in trying to figure out how you were hacked?

It doesn't help your case that right now you are doing what a lot of other "I was hacked" posters do when pushed for more details the "I was hacked" -- being evasive.  (by not providing the info being requested by those trying to help you out)

A few other people claiming to be hacked that I've tried to hammed detail out of (it is like pulling teeth, I might buy the conspiracy), mentioned using a namecoin binary.

useful article, cept it doesn't tell you how to detect it lol

The advice seems to be - nuke your hard drive and reinstall!

dban is a bit overkill if you just want to wipe the MBR and destroy data on a drive. A single zero pass would be fine Takes a hell of a lot less time!

Well obviously after you had your good cry you were still reading the board!! Your only statement is against me and you call me "dark" (whatever that means) for being skeptical and pointing out a trend.

I'm not calling you a liar. People are getting robbed and I sympathize. I was compromised as well within three days of getting into BTC but I think someone was punishing me for something stupid I did. We all know it's happening.

Nonetheless, I'm skeptical. I and a few others exposed an obvious scam right on the board here so there are reports like yours that are false. If you're going to bring it to the board back up your claim.

Otherwise you are just spreading fear and pessimism and in my world that would be considered "dark".

Just use a linux liveCD and run:

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT "test" THESE COMMANDS ON A SYSTEM YOU DON'T WANT TO DESTROY!!!!!

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

where X is the device

Did this to a 1TB drive not long ago, took maybe 4 hours... maybe a little more.

You could also do a (psuedo)random data write with

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda

Since we were talking about these rootkit viruses within the MBR.. If you just wanted to kill the MBR:

dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=446 count=1

and to remove both the MBR and the partition table (which you'd have to rebuild if you wanted to use the partitions again!):
dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT "test" THESE COMMANDS ON A SYSTEM YOU DON'T WANT TO DESTROY!!!!!

I'd imagine these rootkits would get back into the MBR as soon as windows boots again, so I don't think this would fix it without at least killing the processes/services which it depends on in windows.

Interesting virus.. very nasty I'm gonna do some checking on all my systems. Guess its perfectly possible that poeple are losing their wallets to this rootkit/botnet - they could easily send a command to the infected machines to search for wallet.dat and send email/send it somewhere. Obviously I'm just guessing! But AFAIK you could end up infected just by visiting the wrong website :/

Man. Before two weeks ago I wasn't that concerned about security. This forum has made me super paranoid about network and PC security. Thanks a lot, guys.
