So I bought around 2 BTC on the clearnet today via LocalBitCoin. Around 20 minutes later I got home and the BTC was gone (sent to some address) and I saw the following message open in notepad.exe. All my browser windows had been crashed so obviously someone remotely accessed my computer.
Anyone have an idea how this could have happened? I've never installed anything sketchy, and it happened only 20 mins after I bought my BTC.
I guess I should clear house and burn my address forever.
Buying drugs is BAD, your information has been forwarded to the FBI.
BAD BAD BAD !!
Sounds like it was someone you know. A hacker would not take the time to write a message in notepad nor, would they have known you were purchasing drugs.
In the future, lock your machine when its not in use and use FDE and/or put a password on the BIOS.
