It's obvious that you were targeted by someone who knew that you have such stack of bitcoins and alts. Otherwise they wouldn't use that much effort into social engineering and trojan attack both. Usually there are sorts of honeypots to fish crypto users, blind ones, but a long time since i heard anyone go and call some1 offering a job and luring them to the pot. I would take a look at people around me if i were you.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Once again here we go, never open emails asking to download software or some files with the potential to execute scripts, especially pdf ppt and doc files, either disable macros or convert to text file online. Search for the actual source of the software if required.
I am pretty amused though that you have so much Bitcoins but do not have a paper wallet or a hardware wallet. Basically if you have more than 0.3 BTC, just buy a Trezor.
The chances of you getting your coins back is pretty much nil if said guy knows his stuff.
Sorry for your lost. If you do somehow get it back, please get a hardware wallet

So SAD to hear this shit happens. yeah you need keeping saving your money with high security. Make different data (password) web site to website. All the best mate Security can do little when people are giving attackers direct access to their machines by installing viruses/trojans themselves. This was not random effort - it was coordinated attack, and honestly - it may sound harsh now - but Op if you were dealing with HUGE amount of BTC you should be more aware of potential dangers. This whole - we offer you a job - just install some software on your machine, scam it widely known. I've seen some people lost their bitcointalk accounts in similar attack.

Yeah this seems like a hoax story to me. The OP also talks about the "Cyber Police" that everyone knows is a joke term and not even close to being a real thing. Why would anyone who has 425 BTC and 40k LTC download anything on the computer that stores that? If I had anything close to that, it would be split up into multiple address and placed into DEEP DEEP cold storage. This story doesn't seem plausible.

It is not that Op is asking us for donation because he will kill himself over his lost BTC instead or anything. This story maybe is hard to confirm but or believe in - but I can have positive effect on people. This is the way hackers might act in order to grab your digital assets. After reading this stuff some people might get wiser about their bitcoin wallets.

I can't help but to wonder why you were so naive, if you had that much bitcoin, i'm sure you are aware of the risks, and security. i keep everything on a dead server and move anything offline. all of my passwords are 30+.
I never use one computer for "Everything" I have several computers, and one server that is only used offline with a laptop, then transferred to my network. my network and online systems are scanned daily. I am a little over paranoid yes. but to date i have never had a problem as you have. I do business personally or on a solo computer system that if were hacked would be board out of there minds. I know a company that can help you but i'm not sure if there still in business, I will try to find out the information for you, and get back here.

time is of the essence! if you encrypted your wallet with a strong password there's a good chance that hacker has not yet burt forced your password quiclky go find a backup of your wallet and import it in blockchain.info and move your coins out of there!
My wallet encrypted, but all my coins transfered to hackers address already. Oh, then it is really very hard for you to recover your coins, you can make claims against that address, but I don't know that will it help you or not, and thanks you shared that news so that the members remain aware about hackers of that type, in the future people will be safe from mathods of like that.

Why in the world would you store ALL your bitcoins in one address? I have several paper wallets with small amounts of coins distributed in many locations. I will never lose everything in one hack, because nothing is stored on my computer. I use a Trezor wallet for day to day stuff and there is very little money on there.
If this is true, then this is a tragedy that could have been prevented. NEVER store ALL your coins in one wallet. ^hmm^

do you run a full node? I think If your wallet was encrypted then they sent it via rpc calls.

Do you even scan the file before you proceed with further action? How did the hacker managed to get your email? Did you apply for consultant job or something with your email? This is where you fall into their traps. Which file that can't be open? The .PPS file? AFAIK, .PPS is a file extension for a slide show presentation file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint. This is why we don't simply install application offered by some shady stranger on the Internet. Please help me if you can. I live in Vancouver, BC, how to contact cyber police ? or some security experts can help me here ? Is it possible to get my coins back ?
I'm sorry for your loss, but it's nearly impossible to get your coins back, TBH.

I just want to ask why is it that you not keep such large amounts of bitcoins (425!!) On a paper wallet or something???
Anyway... since the hacker knows your personal info maybe he's someone you know locally??
The sorrow is that the possibility of your coins returning is low. 😔

Yes, full node, but how can he removed all my blockchain files later? Do you live your entire life on you Macbook, including doing your banking transactions? You should also assess what information was lost with their access to your computer. Then take steps to ensure that you don't stand to lose anything else in addition to your coins.

You were the victim of a social engineering attack. It has taken them quite the effort to target you, so you most likely spread your information (email etc) around while indicating that you held bitcoin and litecoin.
Be very careful when people are making offers out of the blue. That is just not how the world works and most likely is and attempt to hack you. Next time, ignore it and find a local job or at a well known company through their website.
Hope you manage to keep everything else safe.
