I made my first deposit on SR and was shopping around trying to figure out what I was going to buy. Today, my account shows no bitcoins. I looked in the account history and I see the day after at almost 8am there was a "withdraw". But there is no address where the money was "withdrawn" to?
I'm a little confused as to what's going on as I am new to all this. But is it possible I just got screwed out of my money?
If this isn't the right area, I apologize. My brain hurts from scouring and trying to find answers. I figured I'd just ask. So please someone, help! : /

Have you created an account on any other drug markets like Atlantis recently using the same sign on information? If so, then you probably fell for a scam and they used your sign on information to steal your bitcoins.

As cirrus rightly pointed out, if your coins were withdrawn without your consent then your account has been compromised, most likely phished.
For more information on phishing and what ot do now please refer to this thread:

Well I was very careful when setting up my account. I only have 1 account with SR. I took an old laptop and wiped it clean. Then I installed what I needed for the deep web and ran everything on that laptop. I never entered my information anywhere other then the site and only logged in but a few times. I never entered any of my log in information anywhere. (I use to be a phisher myself so I know what to look for/avoid when it comes to that.)
If someone found a way to crack my password or phish my account, then slap me silly because I made sure to be extra careful.
Why is there no transaction information with the withdraw? It just says "Withdraw" and nothing more. No information about what address it was sent to.
(I should note also, I did change my PIN right before making my deposit)
While I am new to bitcoins/SR, I am not new to the world of phishing. This doesn't mean that someone can't or didn't phish my pw.

Hmm, that is odd. In this case I would send a message to SR Support on the main site and have them try to see where the withdrawal went to.

No offense but everyone who gets phished is adamant it couldn't have possibly happened to them. You seem to know what you are doing based upon your post, I cannot comment on what may or may not have happened in your instance, all I know is your funds cannot be withdrawn without the use of your PIN so your credentials must have been compromised, somehow.

LoL, I don't doubt it. I guess it's just what it is. Some how, someone got me. : /
Live and learn. Thanks for the help guys. I'll just have to be even more careful then I thought I was.

I don't know how thoroughly you cleaned the computer you are using but you should do a complete HD format and reinstall the OS, its the only way you will ever get rid of rootkits, key loggers etc.

Hello
This exact same thing has just happened to me. I logged onto my silk road account recently to see my balance was 0 btc when i left it with .1. I went to my account history and there was a withdrawal with blank description. I changed my password immiedietly and went to change my pin but now it keeps saying my pin is wrong. This is very strange as I have only ever logged onto my SR account on a very secure computer. The only thing I can think of is possibly my tor mail information may have been the same, but the thing is that would not have included any information about my PIN which is what is required to withdraw cash. I am very sketchy right now with whats going on with my account and am waiting for my pin to be unlocked or to hear from a moderator. It is comforting to hear someone else has had the same suprise as it makes me think it isnt my computer as I was just about to format it.
