Was my blockchain account hacked?

[mon3y4me]

Hi, I logged to my blockchain.info account to see my bitcoin wallet and I noticed that about $100 was transferred from my account to another address. This is not possible because I certainty did not authorize any payment or made a transaction today. I see the payment is still under pending.

What can i do to cancel this?

By pending you mean the transaction didn't get any confirmations yet?
Sadly, payments with bitcoin are final, no chargebacks, canceling, etc. So they money is lost. Secure your account if more money is in it.
Try and see how they got into it in the first place.

I dont understand how this is possible? Does bitcoin have any auto payment option? I logged today and at the same time i saw a transaction being made. This is very strange!

Sadly there is nothing you can do to cancel it.

It's strange though that someone would not have emptied your wallet but only took part of it.

Anyway, standard policy when dealing with possibly compromised wallet is to move all funds to paper wallet/known safe wallet.

Not strange at all ; you had a virus/browser hidden addon or such that made that payment. Your PC is likely compromised.

contact blockchain.info they keep logs of all transactions and see what they say.

then change you password

passwords are usually the death of all hacked accounts

No, blockchain doesn't have any auto payments.
First thing that would come to mind is if you are using any shady chrome extension. I've seen them in the past doing this. Or malware on your computer, either way something malicious.

I changed my password and added email for verification. I'm using Opera to access my account right now. I will try to contact the website to see how this happened.
