They are websites made by assholes that look like a legitimate website so that you will enter your login credentials so that they can take control of your account and steal your coins. There is a thread about this stickied to the top of the newbie section. http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=130446

OMG is all I can say

Right, possibly you logged in to a scammer site that asked for your PIN at login. That's a big no no, once you do that, your BTC will be gone. Or if you are infected with a keystroke logger or something similar, everything you do might be being recorded and transmitted to a third party.

I already discussed it with them in PM. They made an account on the fake Atlantis phishing site using the same username, password and PIN.

Great glad it has been figured out. Ouch, another good reason not to use the same login details between different sites.

Remember everyone : One website, ONE password.
The real risk nowadays isn't password getting bruteforced, but someone creating a useful service - lets say image share marketplace video etc - wait for it getting popular then trying the login/Password he gathered on several known services where he could get some cash you left.
I wouldn't be surprised AT ALL if Atlantis or any other marketplace's staff was doing it right now with the password/pin some stupid users must have used on SR too.
