Title: What to do after being hacked?
Post by: Boxxl on April 21, 2018, 09:48:10 PM
Hi,

I see a lot of people being hacked or lost money.
I know a transaction is final but can you track them to a exchange?
So you can call the exchange and ask them to hold the wallet or something?

Or can you track them another way?

I hope there will be a good solution for this in crypto.

You can track them in some ways but no other way to get it back. It happen to me before. As much I want to take revenge, I can't do it since I believe it was partially my fault. What can we do is just to move on and make sure it won't happen again. Being cautious is a must.

Should be the same as with any other asset. If somebody stole your money from the bank, the bank should be responsible for tracking your money and returning it to you. But if somebody stole it from your wallet, then you can only call the police (exchange and some authority) and hope for the best.

The best that can be done is learn a lesson and not be in the same situation again.
Whatever is stolen cannot be recovered. That is it.

You can track that address but its really hard to know later which exchange if they transfer and traded  to another coin. Only hackers can help you.Check what happened to IAN BAlina

there is no solutions to get back the assets if somebody being hacked
maybe people can track the transactions, where their assets sent
but, there is no way to complaints with the exchange or others, because an exchange did not want to know about that
thank you

depend, if your personal wallet get hacked i suggest you to make a new wallet make sure login login details is safe.
but the important thing is to prevent that happend, try to secure your browsing habbit and not to open or download suspicious files or emails.
and many things do you need to do and undestand if you don't want to being hacked.
try to pretend to be a hacker and use that knowledge for your safety

The exchange will never deal with other people's problems. Everyone is responsible for its own crypto-currencies. In many countries there is no legislative basis for crypto-currency. By law, you can not even file a complaint about the theft of the crypto currency. And exchanges all the more do not bear any responsibility for outside actions.

Even if you successed to find the exchange that coins are transferred to, how can you prove those coins has been stolen and belong to you?
You can do nothing after you are hacked and your coins are stolen. There is no solution in cryptocurrencies for this issue.

Correct answer mate,we all know how hurting being victimized by hacker but we must accept the reality that most of hacking issue is by our own mistakes sometimes we just dont wanna accept it but our carelessness brings us to this..

What we can do after is move on,just take it as a lesson learn so being a victim again is wont be possible..
Though sometimes its because of the great skills those hackers have thats why we become a bait to those expert people that dont uses their talent and skills in to do good things to others

You can track the lost money to anywhere it goes but the truth is at the current time, even if you loose some good amount of money, you are done for. THere is no legal framework  in place to get you your money back. THis is because If i am in the far side of Asia while you are in Australia, it will be difficult for any legal authority to track me if i took your money.

The deal is we all have to be careful so as not to fall for hacks and scams.

Stay safe

You can only track transactions so you just have to remember to make sure you won't give your private keys or anything like that. Also you should keep your coins in cold storage or hardware wallet instead of rest. If you really lost a lot you can try contact police but don't expect anything.


Title: Re: What to do after being hacked?
Post by: BQ on April 21, 2018, 10:51:22 PM
currently it's probably way too easy to leave no trail(swap to xmr for example) and then just move it to an exchange, so there's really not much hope.
with the freedom of crypto, this risk is included.

use a hardware wallet(trezor is open source)  :)

Post by: Milansilver7 on April 21, 2018, 10:56:26 PM
I agree with you, when we are hacked, the best way is to create a new wallet and keep all the information, be more careful to avoid hacking, that's the best solution for now.

no exchange is going to do this, in fact no exchange service should ever do this. simply because there is no way that you can prove you were actually hacked. from the exchange perspective if someone asks them to block some account (address) simply because the deposit came from some address they own, it may as well be a scam by the person saying this. for example you can sell your coins to someone and when they move them to exchange call the exchange and tell them you were hacked (lie).

Make sure you update passwords for other sites which are at all similar to the password that you used for the site which was hacked.  Usually people just change a character, or even worse use the same passwords.  For example a significant number of bitcointalk members lost data including passwords used after a site breach the other year - all you have to do is go through the list and try them out on other sites.

Yes unfortunately there is nothing you can do to get that money back, this is the bad side of this crypto world. The police will only get involved if the whole exchange/platform has been hacked...

if ever you been hack you must change your password especially on your email. its better to change a quality one password that has a numeric alphanumeric and special characters is better. create also a new wallet and keep your private key that no one knows. and lastly practice safe browsing. do not go to an malicious sites and download something. thats for your own safety also.

the only thing to do is to be careful next and ensure to keep safe all those important keys like private keys because it's hard to trace transaction once hacked and no assurance if we can recover back the hacked amount.

for your safety pal you must choose wallets that has 2FA so that no one can manage your account even though its hacked 'cause only the owner who owned the authenticator code can use it or manage it , that is advantage being have a 2fa actually., which is even though your password and email is hacked no one still can control your account.

You can track but that's will be it, there's nothing you can do, you can't asked the exchanges to freeze somebody account, and there are no law in crypto, so once you got hacked then that's it, just accepted it and then move on with your life, next time find a better wallet to secure your coin

I agree. 2fa is truly a lifesaver and is easily one of the best security features in recent times. Honestly, hackers will try hacking anyone for the heck of it without caring much about others since it is like a regular job to them and nothing else. It is up to us to secure our coins and tokens in different ways like using hardware wallets, securing private key, avoiding fishy wallet downloads, enabling 2fa etc. If you have already been hacked, just keep moving forward because your funds are as good as gone. This is the harsh truth, but there is nothing much anyone can do in such a situation.

I think it's a good idea, but in my experience it's useless. because I can not find out more with the hacker's exchange address.
I have experienced hacking cases (due to my carelessness) after I searched each address and ended up in exchange. and that's the problem even we can never know the exchange that the hacker uses.

Post by: jennerpower on April 22, 2018, 07:56:11 AM
Obviously, you can start all over again. Sorry for your loss sir but this is a big lesson for all the people in the world of cryptocurrency. We must be responsible for our confidential information such as private keys, passwords and anything that could provide access to certain accounts. Once we are hacked and our funds are being stolen we are lucky if it has security system that can block any access to the account without the permission like 2FA, email verification or password but some of it doesn't have. If our wallet was hacked we can track the process by the txhash or transaction hash where you can see all the information of both the receiver and sender and once it is approved to be sent we have nothing to do with it not like social media account or ICO website account that has recovery options.

That's right. You cannot do anything about it. Because it is irreversible and immutable. The only thing you can do is protect your own. As much as possible, put 2FA in your account so that it is more secure. And always have your private keys safe.

Obviously starting again from zero or from what hacker left for you; the good fact in you should denonce the method of hack attempt in every possible social media crypto-oriented and to try tracking the address received your funds (great possibility to find it when search the web if the hacker is a noob) that in general hackers can't succeed if you don't make mistakes. Finally, warn everybody about what happened with you that others may take caution besides some habits they used to do. The bitcoin forum may provide a lot of help. Be careful !!

In my previous case, I can see wallet address where my coins was transferred. I am using MEW that time and I got my bounty reward. So, when the bounty reward entered my wallet, it was immediately transferred to another mew address. For that, I cannot track who it is or even in the market. When you got hacked in crypto, it is like saying goodbye.

Its easy to track where your fund was transferred to on the blockchain but its not possible to get it back because transactions can never be reversed. Once the fund has been transferred to the hacker account then its difficult to get the fund back.

This is very painful situation in this crypto currency online business. But we will not get stop on this because it is a matter of learning of what went wrong that we get hacked. So we must be vigilant always inorder to avoid to happened it again. Just move on and be more intelligent in this crypto business.

You cannot do anything. even if you managed to find the exchange address of hacker, you cannot just ask the information about hackers profile to exchange staff.
it could be just any peoples who wants to steal the identity data of peoples on exchange.
what you can do is learning what can you do to prevent his happening again.

Basically you can't because some exchange sites are giving the ability to the users to generate new address anytime and it can be changed by the hacker as they want to change it. The best thing to give the more knowledge to the people or newcomers without any knowledge never try to join in any suspicious link or interested to click the suspicious link.

There is a possibility that you will able to track it to an exchange.

However, the probability of an exchange ever helping you to actually get the coins back in my opinion is pretty low. They have the responsibility to protect their customer's privacy no matter what, even if they are alleged to be a hacker. Of course, if the case is big enough and enough people are affected, exchanges may be forced into cooperating by authorities.

But as you said, all transactions are final on a decentralized blockchain. Prevention is better than a cure, because there is no guarantees that you'll ever be able to recoup your coins on a certain blockchain. Having sufficient security in your coin storage will prevent most hacks.

I had read about a thread here that you can get back what have been stolen unto you. But the evidence that the stolen funds got back to the owner was not presented. Thus I could not believed it. The best thing to do is to move-on in case your cryptofunds got stolen.

Yes you can track them if the funds goes through an exchange but it's impossible for an exchange just to give it out to you, they are out of any transactions that was sent to them. You know that crypto transactions are irreversible and there's no way for you to recover it even the exchange will be contacted. They'll just hold the wallet if there's something found that was against to their rules but I doubt it that you can do something to hold that wallet unless you are a VIP.

All you can do is to move on. There is no way to get it back. Even the exchangers cannot something do about it I if it is a successful transaction. It is also hard to prove that you didn't execute the transaction.

It is difficult to get money back in your purse when attacked, because if you send in the bank you also have the documents to catch the bank responsible for compensation, or deal with you. But if the money is in your online wallet. You're like a banker, self-managing, self-controlled, it's hard to say who's solving for you, so you should find the safest virtual currency store to avoid hacker attacks.

As far as I know, it's hard to find the solution. Maybe you can track the wallet, but you probably difficult to find the real person of the hacker.
We only can tag the wallet as a hacker address or phishing address.

Being hacked means we lost our money and as ordinary person, there is nothing we can do to get it back. Therefore, it will be wise if try to secure our own wallet as secure as possible. It is our own responsible to make it true!

To do his might be difficult. I just thought of something; What about in a case where the plaintiff, is only trying to accuse the second party wrongly. Perhaps the exchange you are reporting to thinks that way. Except in a case where you are able to provide enough proof that truly, you were hacked. Such proves i think will have to come from the wallet providers, that truly you were hacked. Do you even know that, it is possible for one to buy coin in a legitimate way and can still be accused of scam?

Good security can help you keep your coins.  Some best practices:

 Do not keep all your coins on an exchange - Cryptsy closed shop and took most of the deposits on hand.  The owner ran off with them. He has not been found.

 Have a different password for each exchange and email- Should be self explanatory but, if they get the password for one exchange and it's the one you use for everything, you will be wiped out.

 Use Two-Factor Authentication - If someone does get your password they will still need to provide the 2FA code from an app or email.

 Do not open links from people you don't know - This is a good way to get wiped out.



 A short time after Cryptsy closed down someone noticed that there were a lot of Unobtanium for sale on an exchange (Bittrex I think).  Through the UNO block explorer and known addesses they were able to determine that these coins were from Cryptsy.  When Bittrex was made aware of this they locked the wallet down so the coins were safe.  The coins were then transferred to the lawyers handling the class action against Cryptsy.

Hi,

I see a lot of people being hacked or lost money.
I know a transaction is final but can you track them to a exchange?
So you can call the exchange and ask them to hold the wallet or something?

Or can you track them another way?

I hope there will be a good solution for this in crypto.


I recently heard some friends who were hacked for all the assets in their wallets. especially those using MEW
I think it would be very difficult to trace the hacker. I hope there's a lot of renewal and innovation to make it more difficult for hackers to penetrate security. especially that currently happens because dns google has been hacked, the effect of security systems that use the dns are vulnerable stolen

I do not think there's any other way to recover a hacked asset because it's a very anonymous cryptocurrency, and it's very difficult to trace, with less than an hour, stolen money being transferred to a fiat account

Yes, you can track it by pasting the wallet address on Blockchain.info or Etherscan if it is an Erc20 token. And the one you can not do is recover it or freeze the wallet because the manufacturer does not control it.

All you have to do to get to it is to know the 64 digit private key of the wallet.

you can track the transaction but you can't get your coins back. if you got hacked, it's your personal fault because blockchain is absolutely safe as long as you have the key. you won't get hacked if you more careful.

Make sure you change your password on other sites if you happen to use either the same password or variants of the same password.  A very common attack vector is to attempt to use the password from one site after a breach at another site.  For example Bitcointalk was compromised the other year and now anyone who knows anything about purchasing my data in shady ways has the password I used.

Even if you are able to track the transaction you can't really do anything about that as the exchange won't reveal someon's identity without any reason.
On the other hand you can learn from the hack to be more careful next time and to hold your important funds in a cold wallet as you can lose your funds if your reveal your private key online, you can only learn a lesson but you won't be able to return your funds.

You can't ask the site to hold the transaction as it's not there responsibility besides you need to prove that it's yours but that can't be the assurance to get your coins back.
You can track them yet you can't do anything about it because at the first place you can't beg to hackers to return your coins. Next time be cautious and mindful to everything you do in your wallet, it's really frustrating to loss all your hard work.

yes I agree, there is no way to get it back even if you track them. Hackers are hackers they will.leave you with nothing, even you will know who thery are. There's no way to get your money back. you should be careful of your account .keep your password or private key safe.

Yup but try to recover if not all at least a little of what was stolen from you. But if logic tells you that it is impossible then the only thing left is to let go and learn from it.

Mostly if you are hacked, I'm guessing all of your coins in that wallet are gone but if it just so happens that you have some coins left then you should get a new wallet immediately and move you coins there. Make sure you secure it properly and make sure you take all the security steps to secure the new wallet that you did not take with the old wallet. Mainly just be wiser for it and learn from it.

If they use a mixer, then the chances are that you may not be able to trace that transaction to an exchange. Even if you are able to track the hackers, how you are going to recover the coins? Especially if they are located in some foreign country?

although we can track them on the blockchain and we know where the destination wallet but we cannot know who is the thief and we cannot do anything. maybe we only can accept this is the important lesson for us so we can prevent this will not happening again in the future.

maybe we can ask the exchanges to hold the wallet but if our fund is on the exchanges, I think it is hard for us to makes them believe that we are the real owner of that funds.

we need to be careful in this crypto and always take care of our account because if we enjoy in the crypto world, then we need to secure our account too.

If you are hacked the first thing you should do if it's not already too late is to transfer your coins to another wallet that has secure private keys.
After that you should change all of your passwords and security questions for your e-mail, phone and social accounts and of course any crypto logins/exchanges.

The key to security is also prevention by using unique secure passwords and also not using a known public e-mail address with important services.
It also of course helps to keep your computer secure and perhaps having a super secure locked down computer that is used exclusively for touching crypto.

To take it a step further considering jailing the process of each wallet etc..

Finally after you've done all you can to limit the damage please report it to the devs of the coin any exchanges and the community as you be quick enough to warn others and prevent some from losing their coins as well.

Nope they will not do that, once the hacker send your coins into another wallet, poof, you will not get you coins back. The exchange will not listen your problem about your wallet hacked lol, i think the only way is just move on and make a new wallet for your coins.

What I suggest, is do an analysis of how the hacker could have got through to you.
 Is it through a software you have downloaded, a link that you have followed or is it purely a wallet insecurity. based on this, it is best to protect yourself from things happening again in the future.

Yes, I think the best you can do about the hacked wallet is to track it. Just track it. You won't own it again. Because it is your/our fault if you/we let them hack our wallets. So, reflect on your mistakes and learn from it. Secure your wallets more, use hardware wallets if possible. Being scared to transact with other people is also a good thing, since it makes you cautious on every move you make.

I don't think there will be any way to cancel or hold, for example people using metamask like me once you tap on the submit button the transaction will be valid you will not be able to cancel if you find you key in wrong address or watever error. The only thing you can do is let it be a lesson to you and be more careful in the future try to copy and paste whenever possible is a good practice. Look on the bright side this error can shape us to be a more meticulous person.

For me, the best way is to ensure safety is to be always precaution on things you've do. I've been using wallet online but so far I didn't even fall on a scam before. I agree that hardwallet is safe to store some coins and tokens but storing it online would also be safe as long as you know how to handle a good security. Install some key safe app and software and you'll good to go.

It is unlikely that the exchange will block someone's account because of the usual phone call , this will require an official request from the police, so it is hardly possible to have time to do anything.

Hackers are smart people, they all thought out in advance so that you could not catch them. Even when major thefts from top exchanges happen, no one can catch anyone. If, however, there was an attack on the network itself, then some kind of coin, then the developers could roll back the entire blockchain so that it was as before. It was also done with ethereum when and then it happened that his fork was because there were some against this intervention.

compromised assets that would be hard to get back and can even track.

If your wallet hacked by someone and stole your assets, (one thing) do not expect that your assets will be back and get to know the hacker. After being hacked the best thing to do is move on and make sure that it will not happen again.

You can try to track the coin till it reaches an exchange. But most likely the exchange will not entertain such request due to several reasons. Firstly, it will take time and effort to prove that the hacked wallet belong to you. Another reason will be if the exchange entertains such requests, there will be numerous requests daily.

Crypto currency is a means of payment that is decentralized so that the control of currencies is in ourselves. In my opinion, it is very difficult to track hackers who have taken our rights. In fact, we cannot call on exchanges because it could be that our coins that are hacked are not directly traded. Until now I have not found a good and wise solution to this problem. I only hope that there are insurance companies that offer services for crypto currencies so that when our coins are hacked then we can get exchange from the insurance company. I hope my hopes can be realized someday.

That's thoughtful of you, but for now it's sad to know that there is no solution after hack. Once tokens are moved, that's final. Since we are talking decentralisation, you can't even report a wallet. Tracking will be a waste of time too. Let's pray for a remedy with time. Once again, nice post.

If you have been hacked, you need to change wallet, changing password isn't enough. Also it is better to start working from the another device. It's better to use another Wifi which you didn't use yeat

The money you have no way to return. The only thing you can do after hacking it is to conclude from the mistakes that you made and because of which, you and hacked.

There are so many things you guys need to do after being hacked..
1. Reinstall window to make sure that your PC clean
2. Buy a good antivirus software
3. Change wallet
4. Buy a coldstorage wallet
5. Never let anyone know anything about your wallet although they're your family members :).

Beside, never believe in anything sound like easy money or click in any link before checking.

when you get a possible hack that you will do after being hacked you can reflect on your mistakes and after that as much as possible not to repeat the same mistakes for the umpteenth time and install very high security for your wallet.

In my opinion, it is advisable you change your wallet. Changing your password is not good enough. Once your wallet is hacked it is almost impossible to recover your funds back, move on and ensure you don't fall a victim again.

Well my friend was hacked few months ago and he tracked the transaction from wallet to wallet. We able to tracked our money but there is no way to reclaim it back. If u already got hacked i suggest to create a new one because the old one is already useless. Also you need to more careful & dont get hacked twice.

You could just tracked them but you couldn't do anything about it,
One of my friend already tried it they manage to track the hackers wallet but that's it.

Hi,

I see a lot of people being hacked or lost money.
I know a transaction is final but can you track them to a exchange?
So you can call the exchange and ask them to hold the wallet or something?

Or can you track them another way?

I hope there will be a good solution for this in crypto.
It's hopeless to recover any funds that being hacked or mistakenly transferred to other wallet as crypto is a decentralized currency. We need to take extra care on our wallet and never put all your assets in a single wallet. Crypto has no support from the government and we can make a complain to them.

in hacking cases in the crypto world until now there has been no way to recover what was stolen, but in terms of tracking it can be done, but in a very limited way. for example like hacking done through myetherwallet wallet. through the path of transactions carried out by hackers and also their history, because each wallet requires a gass to be able to sell it to the market.

If you hacked into the wallet,then quickly print out all tokens and transfer them to another wallet,otherwise you are just an empty will lose money,as cracking the wallet can divert the esters,and the tokens which are not what is not while not touched,but a couple of years(they can be very good)so once all withdraw to another wallet,and the old no longer use

After being hacked I would reinstall the system on my pc, then I would check hacked wallets and will forget this wallet. I would change all my current passwords on the emails and exchanges.

I think that the most important thing is to calm down and not worry, because to do something is definitely not possible, since cryptocurrency is not fiat money and you cannot write a statement because the money will not be returned to you. Think about where you could be deceived and check your computer for viruses.

In my own opinion. I do not think If you can ask to the exhange to hold it because they just doing their jobs and I do not know if they will listen to you. Once you been hacked you can not trace them unless you are a great and have a knowledge in it then you can possible trace them. For sure hacker won't left any thing that they can trace them because they are wise and many ideas when it comes to this.

I think the only option is to suffer. You will not find the one who stole the funds because the whole essence of blockchain and cryptocurrency is anonymity. You should think about it and it is better to store your data

If you are being hacked, you have no other options left. Your money are gone and no exchange or community member would be able to help you. Be advised, stay safe and try to diversify your funds to reduce such risks.

There's no way to retrieve any of your coin stolen by hackers. The next thing you should do is to be more careful in doing transactions and storing your coins.

I'm afraid to make a mistake but in ERC format creates different conditions of the transaction up to the control of a third person who can control but not affect the outcome of the transaction.

Transaction's are irreversible and even if you track a transaction transferred to an exchange. They have no obligation of helping you by just calling them that you've been hacked.

It's your negligence that you have been hacked and getting a help from them requires you a lot of things when they asked you to provide some evidence, only if the hack happened inside the exchange including your account. But if its outside the exchange, they are out of it.

There is actually nothing much you can do to be honest. Once the transaction is made and confirmed, there is no way to reverse it. It is also basically pointless tracing your coins, as eventually the hacker will use mixers to hide themselves. All you can do is learn a lesson from it and be careful so that you do not get hacked again.

I've never been hacked before. But it seems to me that there is no way to track down or just understand the method of hacking. It's stupid and impossible. Therefore, there are so many hackers in the field of cryptocurrencies

If your funds is still on the exchange and happens that someone access your account and probably hacked in to your account and that hacker still has your funds on the exchange, you can call for support and try to hold the transaction on that address. But the percentage of getting it back to you is very low but it is worth a try.

In this unregulated market, i think nothing we can do when our wallet hacked. Cryptocurrency is transparant ledger but we can not know who own the wallet because its anonymous.

when I get hacked in my wallet or on the exchange then I will try to see where the assets I have and after that I will try to do my job again and try to find more money for trading capital and try not to get hacked again.

You can track location from which country you got hacked. But i think centralized exchange track is very difficult, De centralized is tracking possible. Exchange support never tell you about holding asset in your wallet. But they try to help for recovered but everything depending on exchange quality.

indeed, at the moment the crypto market is still free and no one has held it, so there are still many people who still do not have trust so they commit cyber crimes and hack all the data we have including our wallets that they can take too,
therefore we need strong protection.

You can track the transactions but hackers are much smarter than us in the end you will get nothing So its better to always be cautious while accessing you wallet. There is no other way to track the transactions and the bitter truth is that you can not recover what you have lost from your wallet on the other hand one can create a new wallet and use it more cautiously to avoid such situation again.

If you are hacked and stolen money, you have no way to return what you have stolen. Even if you keep track of all the movements of your wallet
