Hi All, can we trace BTC to the wallet, coz i lost all my BTC and it was transfer out, but I cant't stop it now. Lost more then 100 as that is for my company. can anyone help me here?

All Bitcoin transactions are publicly available. If they are confirmed, then they are included in the blockchain forever. You can view these transactions in any block explorer, such as https://blockexplorer.com/. Because transactions are linked to each other, you can follow the transaction chain and see where the Bitcoin ends up.

However, even if you are able to trace the Bitcoin to certain addresses, there is no guarantee that the people who control those addresses are the people who stole the Bitcoin. Furthermore, Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, so the likelihood of you recovering the Bitcoin is slim to none.

So your company's computer was hacked? Sorry to hear that.
You can trace the coins in block explorers like http://blockchain.info but you can't tell where it is or who is in control of them, sadly there isn't much you can do besides reporting to the police.

Even if they are not confirmed, I don't think he will be able to get them returned. @Op, just google search the destination address and hope it belongs to someone who has posted it online. If it is 100 BTC then you should definitely be using some more security before sending out coins like that.

you can check an online free service like walletexplorer (https://www.walletexplorer.com/) to do some light chain analysis or you can pay the same developers on https://chainalysis.com/ to do it for you but even then there is no guarantee to find the thieves unless they are sloppy!

All the bitcoin was then transfer out to the following Bitcoin address: 1EYn2ct8hXw2nF4FTZuywtn7mjzUxD4x23

Guess that is their wallet and everything was transfer out from there.

Calling up the police, is there any help in this? and what police? Is there a group of people who do that?

3 wallet that was given to me on the site is :

138c29NHu7k9Rd2uYw31RGAsFuWbcXbbFd
1CLGTENDGvPJc75r5nBXZbabscaipDzvXi

and all was then transferred to

 1EYn2ct8hXw2nF4FTZuywtn7mjzUxD4x23

now i got a site showing me how much BTC i have but I can't do anything on it.

The police as in actually the police, meaning the law enforcement in your area. I don't think it will be of much help since the police aren't trained in dealing with this and the thief is likely not in their jurisdiction to even investigate.

i am afraid that there is no other way you can do, because what i've read, if one transaction is made and its show in the blockchain, then its can not to be undo. but i don't know if there is another way to recover your bitcoin.

What wallet service or website or technology did you use? In most cases the local law enforcement will not have a clue what you are talking about. There are people on Bitcointalk, that might help you trace these coins, but in most instances these people run these stolen coins through mixer services or some anonymous Alt coin, and then things becomes difficult and expensive to follow.

Good luck, I hope you catch these people. ^hmmmmm^

so was it just 100 or almost 300 bitcoins? what company has this amount in bitcoin? please do not let this be an exchange.
would be great if you could tell us more how it happened. was is some scam and you send the money to this addresses or did you get hacked? How did you protect yourself and what is your knowledge? I am asking so we can maybe prevent such thing in the future.

I think the one who have stolen from your bitcoin address is just trying to mix bitcoins but when going through one transaction i found 3+62 bitcoin here in these two addresses

But with only these addresses we can't identify who own this addresses, searched over google noone have ever posted this addresses. Bitcoins seem still there and not spended, but sorry for your loss. I don't think police can also trace this addresses as well as depending on your country police may even don't know what actually is bitcoin.

You can just simple search the bitcoin address that use to receive the funds or the bitcoin address use to transfer your bitcoin from another bitcoin address but you can't know the really owner or who is he behind that bitcoin address all you do is this is your lesson and be carefull next time

You can trace Btc but its pretty impossible to recover it back to your wallet, as the Bitcoin is decentralized currency. That's why you have to be very careful about security when you run some program using Bitcoin.

Even if you get the ability to trace the Bitcoins, it would be impossible for you to get back your sent bitcoins, because Bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous.

You can search the bitcoin wallet using the hash of the bitcoin address where it seend but you can't just simple back your bitcoin once it send its not like any payment method that you can dispute and it will back to your bitcoin wallet :P

Not trying to threaten the person with this, but the guy should never go to police when the case is related to bitcoins...
Because if it is not acceptable and if found as a banned asset in their country, I think he might himself get into trouble...

I don't think there can be a way to get the bitcoins back once they are sent to an address if you have no information about that address owner already because tracing a wallet address is not possible because bitcoin is an anonymous currency.

Its pseudo-anonymous. Anyway all i can say its sorry for your loss, all you can do is now share whole your story, who give u these addresses, what company u working and what security measures did u use? Maybe someone will learn from your mistakes.

I am afraid there is nothing you can do if these bitcoins are stolen. However you really are one of the worse companies available if you keep 100 bitcoins not in a hardware wallet, let me tell you that. Any other wallet can be hacked, the hardware one is so far un hacked. Never heard a story of one of these wallets being hacked. I am sorry for your loss but from the moment now you should start a new, forget those coins and the first thing your company needs to do is to buy a hardware wallet and use it for every transactions they will make.

From personal experience I am using the cheapest one Ledger HW.1 hardware wallet and every thing is running pretty smoothly so I highly recommend you and your company a hardware wallet.
