My friend got hacked and they got 11 bitcoins from him. Reward offered if recovered, were sent here https://blockchain.info/address/1cgLtpyNedwHjNdeu6iJ54pKpsCq8E1bW then sent here

and im not sure how to track them now.

Stolen coins are almost never get back to there owners. Even if you can track the person who stole your coins it will be hard to do any thing about it.

I know that, I was hacked too a couple years ago.  This person doesnt seem to be hiding his tracks very well though.  I havent been following tracking coins and seems to me it might be possible to track. 

Which bitcoin wallet he's using when the hack occured?

You should probably move this to technical support. Off topic isn't the best board to get response from this sort of thread...

Also you should probably know that there's minimal chance you'll ever get those coins back... BTC is irreversible, and it seems like the "hacker" already got a few confirmations on that transaction.

If you had a chat with him and if you have his IP then it might help you out . However there is 1 % chance that you will get any traces .

he was using tor

What sort of wallet was he using? Was it online wallet like blockchain.info?

keylogger on his computer, they got just about everything he had.

Keylogger.. Check out Spyshelter .. It suppose to totally block keyloggers, and such.  Btw I see you've met my Ex lol (avatar) Nice! The Canadian camel gets ya everytime..  :P

Can I ask a few questions:
How can someone steal your BTC?
How can you trace them?
I would be interested in looking to learn to be able to trace BTC and learn how to find out how to identify those who  it was that took them.  Thank you in advance.

Keyloggers by themselves isn't enough to steal coins unless you use a 3rd party website to hold them.

A keylogger basically records keystrokes and emails them to someone. A RAT would be more likely if it was taken from a wallet on your computer.

If it was a keylogger then you can decompile it and find out where it was sending your key strokes to. Most likely it will be to an email which is another step closer to whoever did it.

I am new to this talk, so what is a RAT?  Are we talking about a physical person who is a RAT or is this some computer term.  Also how would you decompile it, is there some software I can get to learn with>  I like learning about how this things work.

A RAT is a remote access tool. Someone gets you to download a program and then you run it. Everything looks fine but lo and behold theres a new process running that you don't recognize or even notice that is giving complete access to your computer to someone else.

They can download anything to or from your computer, access any files, hell they can even turn on your webcam if you have one and watch you yank the snake to pics of lizard people.

Basically it is teamviewer with perks and not being seen.

There are tools out there to decompile programs, some free and some cost money.

I'm sorry about that @SgtMoth,

As stated earlier by some other member's of this forum. there is nothing anyone can do to recover missing coins even in cases where you are able to trace the hacker.

For this reason, we always suggest the use of public key to protect bitcoins.

I can help trace the hacker if, you are still interested and make him or she pay's back the amount of stolen coins indirectly.

 There are many way's to kill a rate! ;D ;D ;D

NOTE: while my first is free, the second swill ONLY be executed on payment basis.

Thanks
Arlene

forget to so protection tool's against keylogger. real black hacker's can bypass any bank security system.
Their are little program(s) out there that can protect you against hacker's.

For now i suggest you should install avast (premium version) & always use the safebrowers mode when visiting untrusted site.

Secondly, becareful on how you store your pw & any email address,security answer which are associated with bit-related account.

I hope it help
Arlene

Maybe you can search the address and find something via online search.

Do spyware programs not catch all of this stuff from activating on your computer?  If they do not, how would it be that you can locate and destroy this and prevent it from happening in the future? Money makes the world go round, but information runs money.

@SgtMoth, check your PM and kind forward All detail's info (including ip, the list of site(s) visited by your friend before the coins where stolen, including any recent info's within the bin that you think might be of help)

NOTE: it impossible to trace advance hacker's based on IP addresses because any newbies can easily modify his ip location/address.


Thanks
Arlene

@shanerc563, RAT are stealth program(s) (run silently) which are compiled to steal sensitive info's from third-party computer without his knowledge or approval. They are most commonly used by black-hat hacker's to spy on thier victim (activities). They are automatically installed on third-party system without his permission upon clicking on sent link or by visiting infected site(s) Captured information's are sent to designated email addresses.

NOTE: I hope it help. Please, i suggest we cease from asking such question when it comes to crucial issue like the one above. The person who started the thread is expecting assistance on how to recover stolen coin and not the other way round.

Thanks
Arlene

Is there anyway way that someone can recover stolen BTC?  Could you not just hack the account that took them from you and get them back?  This all has to be traceable and it is a shame people are doing this to BTC.  We need to move forward, not backward.

everry day new software and hack tools are allowed and it is hard to keep up with what the darker side makes. you cannot win the battle all the time but can try !

Holy fucking christ are you kidding me ?

WOW kids these days.. i bet you got all kinds of "opinions" on cryptography too  :D

@OP
Did your friend wipe out any trace of the malware ?
You will need that for any hope of a recovery and even then it's slim..
slim because it sounds like he covered his tracks.

The fact you KNOW he used TOR is interesting.. was that YOU that figured that out ? How ?

I think what you asking with this topic is what's it like these days with tracking BTC ?
Like any new developments etc etc
I think you already know the answers and what can be done pretty much.

I will try and save you the long winded patronizing speel LOL

The key is the tracks and the keylogger or Trojan etc is the tracks !
If you can get the files that did the bad dead and hand them over to someone who knows what they are doing
then maybe you have some leads.

Such as loading up the Trojan etc in OllyDBG etc and looking for strings that would clue you in.
If you got an email it could maybe be reported too.

Good luck though.

Its impossible to get back your coins,  i have 6 bitcoins that i lost and i cant do anything about it and im sorry to hear your story .
there is not much you can do. You can file a police report, but the likelihood of getting your coin back is about the same as if someone stole your physical wallet out of your pocket.

"I think the website I got the key logger install on my pc was the YNC.  it shows a bunch of different type of video you can view.  One of them I clicked on sent me to an alert please call this number to fix you problem.  I closed it and ran a anti viruse scan.  shortly afterwards like a few days I went and checked my account on poloniex exchange and all my asset were sold into BTC and transferred."

more to come, just getting malware bytes log...

Theres too much to list. If someone wants the file let me know. 

My friend has already written off as a loss.  This thread is for if someone wants to go after the coins, we will help them as much as possible.

thats such a bummer

I also had some bitcoin stolen.  It was stolen by ore-mine!!  Some track that very nice individual, I would love to have a chat with him and hopefully recover my invested 4 BTC.  What a thief.  I am sorry OP, if you could trace your BTC, I am sure these people would be tracking those companies down who ripped all these other people off.

Hello SgtMoth, i'm for the lack of communication within this few days. My system was infected a few days after posting comment about my intention to trace those black hacker's.Luckily. there was no damage or modify my personal info's.I guest is same guyz behind the game!

Pls, i suggest you use PM for any further communication b/w you & your collaborator(s) because there may be reading most of the public comment(s) on this forum.

UPDATE: based on the Ip address/wallet ID, i was able to trace associated email addresses which seems to be associated with that transaction through the help of some ethnical hacker's(volunteer hacker's).However,i never wanted to mention this since,  these email addresses are yet to be confirmed.

☞Pls, always check yr PM for update(s)

Regard's
Arlene

you would notice it if someone is controlling your computer, you can for example see the cpu usage, easy to spot

Forget about them. They are gone.. :'( :(

U can use paper wallet

Even you track the person who stole the bitcoins, there is nothing you can do unless that person are willing to send back the bitcoins to your wallet.

How you lost your bitcoins?do you stored in your desktop wallet?

do you not read past OP??

"I think the website I got the key logger install on my pc was the YNC.  it shows a bunch of different type of video you can view.  One of them I clicked on sent me to an alert please call this number to fix you problem.  I closed it and ran a anti viruse scan.  shortly afterwards like a few days I went and checked my account on poloniex exchange and all my asset were sold into BTC and transferred."

oh my gosh. As a newbie...it is really scary to note that bitcoins can be hacked from your desktop wallet. I'm going to check my computer is clean now.

This ammount is very high to lose did he keep those online or maybe vanity wallet? i am afraid he will never get the money back he can take it as expensive leason and never do the same error again!!
