Alpha02 is claiming 3 people (i assume myself included) have had their BTC stolen. The BTC were apparently credited to a different user accounts and then withdrawn.
I am seeing many people reporting this same issue here and on the AB forums. However, Alpha02 likes to lock any threads discussing the thefts, claiming that the issue is resolved and that all is well.
So a show of virtual hands please, how many of you have been robbed of your BTC by alphabay? I get the feeling there's more than 3 of us...
edit - as a slight side note,
I have seen at least one post on the AB forums which indicate that a seemingly non-scamming users account was credited with someone elses BTC, which implies a screw up in the alphabay back-end rather than BTC stealing malware.

In fact the user whose account was accidentally credited with the other users BTC also appeared to have lost some BTC ->

what a total fuckup
Edit2 -
This thread also also shows that BTC were being credited to incorrect accounts.
Either a shit ton of people are infected with some kind of alphabay-specific BTC stealing malware (why redirect the coins to another AB account rather than to an off site wallet?) or someone on the inside is stealing our coins.
I didn't steal anyone's BTC. It's not my fault if people re-use passwords / get phished / use a weak PW / don't enable 2FA / get a BTC stealer / mistype an address / try to SE to get free coins / any other reason that can cause someone to lose coins. We never, EVER, had such issues with an account while 2FA was enabled (at least, I didn't receive any reports). Losing coins because of one of those reasons is frustrating, it stings, but it's part of the game. Now stop spreading FUD. I already make the relevant tests, and found out that the server hasn't been compromised. I took time to write a full report on this situation.
