On 11.6 my Electrum Wallet was hacked and 15 bitcoins were transferred out. It seems a phishing site was able to log onto my work servers and gain access.
Does anyone know how it can be retrieved? Also had ETH and LTC taken from Jaxx Wallet.

i feel really sorry, bro. not only u so many people now get phisig like my friend more than 1 ETH gone
but for u 15 BTC, omg, i cant imagine that. next time becarefull bro hacker everywhere

That's the bad part with crypto, once they are gone, they are gone. I feel you man and I hope such an event will never come to my door. :|

Can you post the transaction ID and the addresses involved with the theft? We can monitor it on the blockchain and see which Bitcoin mixer it goes to.

Another thing to think of is if someone else has physical access to your computer that knows all your passwords.

15 BTCs? Wow that's quite a lot! Hope it is still possible to retrieve it. Can't imagine how are you feeling right now since that was so much value.

you had to enabled 2fa there

Next time use cold storage

Threads like this should cause every reader to pause and make sure it doesn't happen to YOU.  Man that's over a hundred grand.  At this point I am ONLY helping my family with BTC IF they get and use a hardware wallet, no exceptions!  For now I am doing all the buying for them to protect them from newbie mistakes, and then mixing to their addresses.  My family doesn't know I am Coin-Keeper but I am helping them with learning crypto.  Seriously, 100 bucks for a hardware wallet and be done with these threads.  Not one of my family has ever challenged me to remove the HW restriction/requirement for my helping them.  They just give me fiat and I turn it into BTC for them.  When they learn a bit more I'll step away and let my "pupils" stand on their own.  LOL!  OP I am sorry to have read this thread.  You are not going to be the last to post one like it!

you bring up an interesting point, that it really seems like a mentor relationship is necessary to learn the art of bitcoin.

unless someone had degrees in computer science and experience in crypto or some similar background, he might never really get the principles

was the jaxx wallet on the same computer as the electrum wallet? seems like more than one device maybe infected

Hello,

it was work computer and people did had access, but i don't know if anybody knew my passwords.

Are you using the authentic Electrum software? Software from electrum.org is the only authentic one as far as I know

When I google Electrum from Google (I am from Vietnam so google.com redirected me to google.com.vn)

The result is electrumclient.org (scamming site) is #1 on the Google result

electrumclient.org seems to be a scamming site with old Electrum version they could modify the source code to include a backdoor

You were using your Bitcoin wallet... with FIFTEEN BTC in it... on a shared computer without using a hardware wallet or using just a watching-only wallet??!? :o :o :o :-\

Unfortunately, it really makes no difference now. You can post all the TXIDs and Bitcoin addresses you like. Those coins are gone... That is one very expensive lesson to learn :-\ :(

You installed electrum on that computer so you had admin access. I'm assuming your co-workers also had admin access? They probably unknowingly downloaded and installed malware. It is as HCP says a mistake to use electrum on a shared computer especially one where others have admin access.
