First of all I need to say that I don´t need a donation, just that if you share, vote and reestem this post you´ll help me a lot!
This community are like a family, I know that you can help me and I´ll help you when you´ll need.
I´ll explain my situation:
I was sleeping good and happy because before sleeping I moved my 0.8 BTC to PIVX and I knew that I´ll get gains.
My question here was: How much PIVX growth?
When I see my Bittrex account I thought that I earned some money
Just I was to sleepy to see the numbers, I thought that I have 0.93 BTC
I tried to sell my PIVX but Bittrex can´t let me sell them, I didn´t know why, I checked the numbers and thought that my money was in pending buys or something like that
All the terror starts when I go to the email and I see this:
Here I entered in panic and contact Bittrex for see if they can do something, but seems that they can´t help me
I looked up the transactions and I see this:
A thief without soul entered and robbed me all the money
Would be very helpful if you can share, upvote, reestem this post, I´ll be very grateful!

Thank you so much to everybody that support and helped me, I love this community so much!
As a beginner,I'd probably make mistakes that would make me vulnerable, can anyone explain or guess how this happened and should I reconsider bittrex, poloniex had such scathing reviews I didn't go there, any better recommendations of exchanges to buy the micro-caps?
worrisome, eh? Don't know the answer
Hi,
Centralised exchanges all come with their risks, not until we get decentralized exchanges can we be safe.
The absolute most important thing is to enable two factor authentification and not leave alot of funds sitting in the exchange. Make it a habit to leave your funds in your hardwallet and only transfer into exchange when you want to make purchases.
YubiKey and Authy are some easy 2FA to setup.
Did you not have 2-Step Verification? How did they get into your account?
upvoted, resteemed & sending reiki in assistance my friend <3

Damn.. it seems like someone hacked mine too. I suddenly can't Sign Up. Even though I had a 2-factor authentification and there is also no loggin notification.. hmmm. thankfully there were only a couple of bucks in it.
Have good luck here in Steemit at recovering the funds lost.

It's very sad and you have all my support. I'll upvote, resteem and follow you. I wish I could do more. I also wish my actions will help you grow in the Steemit Community, so that you can indirectly recover your losses. Take care.
Good luck with that @zeroshiki Hopefully it all works out.
full steem ahead!

upvoted re-steem wtf...this security stuff really gets me noivous. Best to you while in recovery mode.
That's sad man! I feel you! 100 % upvote from me.
Bix Weir recommended getting printed tickets of his bitcoin wallet . I don't know how to do that myself but it sounds like better security than leaving ANY funds on an exchange's platform.

Sorry for your loss. Next time you need need to enable 2 factor authentication. I am quite broke myself so. I can't really help but I will resteem for you. That is bad news. That would make for a sad day. I am constantly worried about my money on polo. Following to watch your road to recovery. Best wishes!
I wish I could help financially, but I am still not even able to pay my own bills on time, much less buy CC.
You are appreciated for sharing this horror story -- it is a lesson that we all need to learn. resteemed and voted.
What a nightmare. Sorry to hear. I'm a newbie, so no money here. But thanks for sharing. up vote
Did you have 2 factor authentification? So sorry this happened. I would like to see more info about safeguarding wallets, exchanges, etc. I'm never sure if I'm doing the right thing.
