Has anyone encountered the following scenario on Ropsten:
- You create an account in Geth, and proceed to transfer some ETH to yourself via a faucet.
- You unlock the account and proceed to start compiling and running contracts.
- Suddenly you find that all your ETHs are gone, transferred to 0x6Ef57BE1168628A2bD6c5788322A41265084408a.
This happened to me and a group of participants during a workshop where in a matter of seconds, all our ETH were stolen.
If you look at the transaction that has happened on this account in Etherscan, it runs in spurts, having small, and sometimes rather considerable amount of ETH transferred to itself.
Wanted to find out if this is something explainable. I realized that the same address 0x6Ef57BE1168628A2bD6c5788322A41265084408a is also found on Rinkeby.
new Web3('http://localhost:8545')
and then a call toweb3.eth.getAccounts
to find the accounts and thenweb3.eth.sendTransaction
to send ether.
