I'd like to finally, recover the funds if the hackers are stupid enough to sell them on exchanges.



Low chance if he will swap  it to private coin like Monero  on the  freshy exchange with no KYC. All your story is very sad but you need to take lesson from it.  When  fiddling with crypto the fist things in the morning is the safety securance  of you computer,  SEED, passwords, accounts etc. Everything else needs to be second-guessed.

I know man, chances are slim, but this is a crime regardless of my security. I will move forward with the steps needed, and I'll be sure not to repeat the same mistakes, for sure.

Guys, please help:

On the 30th of November my electrum wallet was hacked:

Tx ID: 89abc9415125c304773b68bad4dd37456b2f459d035a73c19eea722ab78acc0b

No one knew the seeds, no one got access to my computer.

It seems many other addresses were ''scrapped'', but my seeds were extended.

Question, how should I proceed? Can anyone help me figure out the hackers addresses?

Ps. It was 0.91 Bitcoin, not a very large sum, but I'm willing to share the funds if recovered!

It is important now to discover how did the hacker hacked you. He didn't hack electrum, he hacked you.

How did you store your seeds, was it in a gmail draft or something like that?

In paper, never on internet

Your secret words should be kept offline, the best way is to just note down in a piece of paper (which cannot be hacked)

Your computer is probably compromised (or your email, cloud storage, etc if your seed was there).
 I would certainly format my computer if I were you.

I already did, everything anew


This is all the tx the guy did:

My original wallet:

Seems Kucoin is the owner, I'm already in contact and filling police report asap

I was using Electrum 4.0.6, official download.
Did you download it from Electrum.org?

Yes, always checking url includes https

Did you verify its signature?

No

Were you storing your backup seed/private keys on the cloud, your computer desktop, your email, etc...?

No, only on paper

Were you downloading unknown/shady/random software from the internet, as you may have been infected?

No

There isn't much we can do, like it was already said. Reporting it to the police is probably your only option, but I don't see much they can do either. =/

You are the only one who can probably find out what happened. Examine your setup, run an AV like Malwarebytes, etc...

edit: I just saw your other topic. Sounds weird that this happened while the device has never been connected to the internet. Did anyone other than you had access to that device?

No

edit 2: The hacker may have sent your coins to Kucoin. Try to contact them? https://vivigle.com/BitWallet/wallet?address=bc1qx65xcxz6dfsge2g4eaerercslh83y66wrpm79r


I'm already contacting Kucoin and filling a police report

There's a chance the funds have been sent somewhere that pays clients as small amounts seem to be taken off but it does get reconstructed back to 0.91 at some point so that might be unlikely.

I don't understand what you are describing here


I'm not sure what they're is uou can do now, transactions are irreversible and unless you can trace them ending up in an exchange you probably won't have an argument and it has already taken a lot of hops to get where it is now.

Were you running an old version of electrum as I think there's an ongoing phishing attack?

- That's what I'm hoping, that the hackers attempt to sell them on a KYC exchange.
I have no idea how to aware the exchanges so that they can concentrate on this address.

There is a site called bitcoinwhoswho the best you can do is to list that address in sites like this and alert the community.

- I never attempted to transfer out, it was a holding address only.
There must be some error, mistake from your side. Somehow the seeds were compromised without your knowledge or there are no way for anyone to target the address and run a program to find your keys.

Edit:
There are no need to create same topic in more than one board
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300864.0

You can easily move this topic to any section you want.


I don't know what to do or where to post it, sorry I'll move it on the most appropriate.

Literally, the only computer which got the wallet has never been exposed on internet, I have no idea how could they do it, but they did.

The receiving address, after mixing is this: bc1qx65xcxz6dfsge2g4eaerercslh83y66wrpm79r
Seems an exchange

Is this your address? The funds are on this address. If it's not your address than possibly this is the hackers address.


You need to tell the full story. However there are nothing can be done I believe since the funds are confirmed. The only way if he moves them into a KYC verified exchange and the exchange can freeze the fund.

Edit:
I guess your computer was infected with malware. When you copy and pasted the address you wanted to send some coins then this malware changed your sending address and replaced it with the hackers address. Is this what you went through by any chance?
