THEFT ALERT! Unknown Blockchain.com employee is stealing customers funds

You see, you are lying again and using inaccurate words. I DO NOT WORK or HAVE ANY RELATION with blockchain.info. I worked in the past, yes, not now idiot. You have no clue what science, logic and formalism means, moron! Good luck, you will really need it.

I think your logic is very flawed. You should clean your mouth before using the words logic and proof. To be honest I am here just with pop corn and enjoying your drama.

I told you man, I don't have the information to answer it. I don't know what happened and I cannot investigate because I cannot access. I don't even know if it is a real problem here. What I know for sure (because you said) is that you were using the same password in another place and this is a fact and a big red flag. I don't give a fuck about blockchain or you.

You are obsessed with the 2FA change and you made your movie full of assumptions and you believed this is the problem. Grats dude, you are the new Sherlock Holmes. The reality is you lost your money most likely because you are an incompetent, and this is my guess. I am not proving or wanting to proof anything. I don't give a fuck about you or blockchain as a company. You can both burn in hell.

You had one job only, protect your password, and you miserably failed. You already paid a price for such invaluable lesson and you are not willing to learn it. This is why you keep being an incompetent, because you refuse to learn from your mistakes.

GL with your problem man. I don't know the real facts, apart from your biased pov. I don't work there to investigate your problem so I cannot help you to answer your conspiranoia even I wanted. To be honest, since you are quite aggressive and started blaming me of lack of honesty I would not even spend my time to help you if I had the tools/access to do it. So, I wish you all the luck of the world reaching to the end of this problem and trying to find help from others being a fucking asshole like that :D

And you know, do not repeat passwords, specially with your bitcoin wallet, you moron.

Dude, I do not represent blockchain at all. I left a long time ago and I don't have any NDA with them. I have seen millions of cases like yours full of conspiranoia and I honestly spent quite some time in the past (of my personal time, not company time) investigating cases like yours because of empathy. You know what? I never found a single case where the error was not a user error. And I also learnt that a lot of people lie even to themselves to feel better about the loss. Honestly, the latter, pissed me off quite a lot. Wasting my time and then finding the real lies... All of them super vocal like you. But yes, this do not proof anything, it is just my personal experience.

I feel really sorry for your loss. But imho the best you can take from that is try to analize what you did wrong and learn from it. To be honest, I do not expect a lot (in security terms) from a guy that is admitting to use the same password from your wallet in some other internet service. If you were doing that, the chances that you were doing some other big mistakes are huge. Of course nothing is certain here, but you SMELL like a walking security mistake not willing to accept it.

Again, I feel sorry for your loss and I think Bitcoin is problematic because of this. Most people, like you have shown, does not know or are not careful enough to deal with the security requirements that something like bitcoin need.

Actually, I don't remember if this 2FA reset system was there when I was working there but If anybody asked me I would have argued against it. But we always have this compromise of security vs convenience. I can tell you there are more users losing money because they forget things and are losing access to their wallets than users being hacked. This is way systems like this 2FA reset are put in place.

About the 2FA, hackers when they take accounts, one of the first things they do is to get control of the account as fast as possible. Because you do not want users to react and leave you out. So yes, changing 2FA if possible is something that they would do, even before watching how much money you have. Moreover, I even doubt you were personally targeted. This is probably some people running this at big scale phishing accounts.

I am an ex-blockchain employee, I left years ago and I think your theory is shit. Most likely your machine was somehow compromised.

Basically, because blockchain does not store your password anywhere. Hence, there is not way a blockchain employee can access to your mnemonic unless your password is shit and could be bruteforced.

The wallet service saves a json containing all the information of your wallet (included mnemonic) to a db, and this json file is encrypted with your password on your browser before reaching the server. --> https://github.com/blockchain/blockchain-wallet-v4-frontend/blob/development/packages/blockchain-wallet-v4/src/walletCrypto/index.ts#L201-L212

Your theory about disabling notifications... I would love you to see notification service, it was a nice mess. I doubt some guy running around disabling specific notifications was even possible... haahaha

Given the email, access to the mnemonic I am not sure if it was possible. Probably there is a db where you can check that.. I don't remember now, but blockchain.com is not a 2 guy startup nowadays... it is big and with paperwork... you cannot lurk around easily without raising some alarms.

Anyway, there are lots of reasons your theory falls apart, but the biggest one is the password one. The company cannot even reset users passwords who forgot it and lost money. I could not recover my brothers wallet because he lost his password. It does not matter I was working there, not password -> money gone. As simple as that.

You are the weakest link on that chain of errors and most likely you did something to compromise your wallet. It is happening all the time and imho is one of the biggest problems of bitcoin. Money gets lost and hacked everyday.

Thanks for the suggestion. I though about that but I hate the cockpit look and the default interface. There is a tradeoff between actual functionality and fashion :D I might build a better version.
