My wallet has been compromised.
Funds transferred out lead to a specific wallet and it appears that around <$180k have been hacked from people like me.
Recovery seems possible and hence I'm looking for a whitehat hacker to give it a try. Please drop me a message here or reply to this thread with your telegram or discord to discuss further.

This is the destination address of the hacker: https://bscscan.com/address/0xcdd37ada79f589c15bd4f8fd2083dc88e34a2af2

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but things are not going as you imagined.
first, is it really your wallet, and how we can be sure that it is a hack and not actually a legal agreed transaction? you are looking for a white hacker to commit a crime and take someone else's money. then that someone will hire a hacker again to bring back the coins and so it goes round and round. you thought that's how the crypto network works?
Do you think it's all easy, and hackers do it for a salary? if they can do it already, why do they need you to give them a job, he'll do it without you and keep all the coins to himself.

btw. your wallet is compromised, but not because of a wallet hack. Your device where you host wallet or do access to them is compromised and hackers took necessary info of your wallet & funds, through that hole.

Can you share with us how your wallet got hacked? So others can be aware. Which wallet you were using? Also why do you think recovery is possible when wallet is getting empty.

Op was recently running a bounty campaign for his project UmaChitFund: https://uma.finance/
Please don't tell me that the money of investors have been lost.

I saw that many token have been transferred to that address. Which transaction is yours?
How much did you lost?

Please explain how recovery seems to be possible. Do you know the hacker?

Yes, it is my wallet to receive the mining funds and I've lost around 1.8 BNB. By no way it could be a legally agreed transaction for this small amount. As per the knowledge I have, a whitehat hacker can break the rules in case of a breach and might be authorized. By reading the comments on bscscan I found out that many poor people have been hacked along me so for good faith I would like to give it a try if the funds can be returned to the original owners. By considering the number of transactions it seems to be scripted. If it's scripted then maybe it could be reversed? On this fact, recovery seems possible to me.

I was using metamask and my wallet was connected to a few sites which might be the reason I got hacked. From my experience, I'd say metamask is not safe.

By no way I can be so careless. And FYI, Uma.Fi is handled by more than one entities.

Here's my transaction: https://bscscan.com/tx/0x7cb2920d3841f081be3580847195cade64444d5d83c0a1de09c3d91b0f295f13
lost around 1.8 BNB

This is not and will not be "authorized" by any law enforcement agency or court anywhere.
It's like breaking into the house of somebody that has robbed you or getting access to an account of a person who scammed you, while ethically or morally lets' say correctly you will still face legal problems, this is not like in robin hood movies.

Plus, we know that your wallet is the one making that traction, how do we know you haven't actually sent that yourself as part of the deal and now you want your coins back while keeping the services or goods you have received for that payment?


If it's "scripted" it's just a script that collects payments from addresses that have been compromised, had their keys revealed of something else.
Those scripts are not designed to act like a car going back and in reverse, they are just collecting payments from a bunch of address and sending to a safe address the "hacker" use, most likely even if you would get access to the bot doing this it won't have access to the address receiving the funds.

Just because transactions can be scripted doesn't mean they can be reversed. This is not how crypto and blockchain work.

Furthermore, even if 1.8 BNB was illegally taken from you, that does not mean all other transactions in that wallet were also fraudulent. So, even if it were possible, hacking that wallet and reversing all transactions would still be wrong.

It seems like you are so many victims. Check out this Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/Metamask/comments/k6iumb/criminal_address_fraud/). You might salvage some useful information from there.

The only way of having a chance of recovering the money is if you contacted the exchange with law enforcement agencies to block the hacker's account, but that will cost you a lot of money. If you are thinking of reversing the script or transactions, you are probably dreaming. That money is gone.

What you need is the law enforcement agencies, not a "white hat hacker", which is not what you are expecting to be.
