Social engineering at its best. Really sorry for your loss, it's an absolutely devastating amount yes. let my quote Bruce Schneider here: "amateurs hack systems, professionals hack people".

This is why I don’t like to respond to emails, or messages from unknown users or persons. Any message I receive, and it happens that I don’t know anything about the message, I simply delete them immediately, and also mark them as spam. I don’t know why you will be receiving such strange codes, and you keep replying to the sender.
a lot of phishing that go into my email. I do not know how they can find my email and email others people. the important thing is do not use one password for all accounts. it's just a precaution because the same password. allow you to easily inside in dikes

I don’t think it’s possible to retrieve or get back any lost bitcoin. Once you sent any of your bitcoins, there is no way that you can get it back, because bitcoin does not have a feature like charge back or whatever you might call it

I am getting a lot of phishing emails too and the scammers are getting very smart with their scamming tricks. I don't suggest downloading anything on your main machine even from a reputable source. If you need to download stuff so badly use a different computer or a live Linux distro.

I am sorry that I am unable to help. My *guess* is that it will be impossible or nearly so to get your coins back.
There is no Cyber Police that I know of. You might try contacting your local police however, especially if there is a chance that the thief might be someone that you know or a local... The sooner you report the theft, the better, although most such thieves just send the BTC on and on and on...
There may be expert hackers HERE at bitcointalk who might help, but I know ZERO about that.
The big lesson to be learned, by all of us (myself most definitely included) is to be extremely cautious with your computer. I lost some BTC to a clever little scam once. Ahh, I was NOT cautious...
I likely speak for all of us here: Best of luck to you in getting them back.
I too don’t think there is anything like cyber police, or do you mean to say just - police? Maybe that will be a good idea. But, come to think of it, how will it sound if you should go to the police and say “I am making a report because I got hacked and lost my bitcoins” eehm, that might sound crazy or weird. So, I don’t think you can do anything, maybe do what others said, by letting it go. It is a price for being careless. For all others a lesson.

What i feel from reading the whole story is that the intruder was someone who was near to you , who knew that you were related to crypto-currency . Is there any one like friend who talks about BTC or whom you have shown your BTC. Try finding and thinking on it. _______________________________________________________________________________ __ Now a part of coin is on move to here: https://blockchain.info/address/1AtXgzjqseKiYgb3KymgP6wyM7zMdUwNHy

I have less than 3 btc and I put them in a computer without Internet. This is probably the reason I can never make over 400 coins.

All my BTC and LTC lost because someone hacked my Macbook, It was a personal attack. The hacker knows my phone number, name, email , job etc... My coins sent to the those addresses: 17FHzpKeoYmqz3p568VxZa8Mvn5NCs9S3S LPpQavpYVkzBvC2k9n4TBCTpN2KVwEJHez https://blockchain.info/address/17FHzpKeoYmqz3p568VxZa8Mvn5NCs9S3Shttp://ltc.blockr.io/address/info/LPpQavpYVkzBvC2k9n4TBCTpN2KVwEJHezHacker's file https://mega.nz/#!CRZHmBSQ!WsKeUFKAkieEHZhAsLs8j6kWvcG0AoSgK1a0pRyoLO0 1. 13 days ago I got email from aignat@interactivebrokers.com I checked the email address , that was NOT fake https://i.gyazo.com/875f50c9f0898a8e29c410a06686fb3e.png the original email https://i.gyazo.com/dc0556b4449bb81c368243b793d77772.png2.the attacker offered me a consultant job https://i.gyazo.com/2f0ad8c60ba2588126f84d4960ff7145.png https://i.gyazo.com/6d4938b4236d11749bcfbbbfd5d6d644.png3.I'm pretty interested, So I accepted that job,and downloaded a .doc file to apply the job. https://i.gyazo.com/6bb54deb24785b552a61944d0667c274.png4.Then a woman call me from a blocked number and he asked me to read the presentation file. so I downloaded a .PPS file (IB_cooperation_offer_presentation.zip) It was some command line on my Mac when I open it. I did not know it was virus. https://i.gyazo.com/3d2f5226bc8554986434a21ae6f719e9.png5. I told him I cannot open the file, so He asked me download some IBM Maas360 Secure Document Sharing Suite https://i.gyazo.com/bd3cf207c4c463fa4f4df9054367f207.png6.So I downloaded and installed that app file , then got this email https://i.gyazo.com/90a1f77eb5230e70bc74381e2daed00e.pngAll my coins was transfered to hackers addresses , and blockchain files removed Our IT specialists have prepared a personal account for you and assigned sufficient privileges to one of our secure storages: username: yanpeng password: 0DSdj1xczI932 To activate your IBM Maas360 Secure Document Sharing Suite account you need: 1. Download MaaS360 client: https://5.149.250.232/yanpeng/Software/Maas360_Secure_Sharing.v1.84_Win(x64).zip SHA-1: 6c57bcf4f858c0a2e6cbdf0686bab4398e0d46a9 https://5.149.250.232/yanpeng/Software/Maas360_Secure_Sharing.v1.84_OS_X.zip SHA-1: 4e5204b4dffc408d04dcbb811a78c08cf6d0f724 https://5.149.250.232/yanpeng/Software/Maas360_Secure_Sharing.v1.84_Linux(x64).tar.gz SHA-1: c3008e8b4bf6c277ea714a992cdea662c8e54380 2. log in using the account for the MaaS360 client: username: user35 password: dfhjDShd98ja 3. After that you will see the tab named "Documents" where you can see the files that you are allowed to access. Also there is a tab named "Tasks". You can familiarize with details of the start tasks '#3057 Tasks - Stage 1' there. Please note, that after the first sign in to the Maas360 you'll need to set up a new password. PS. You could download the latest version of the presentation and other documents in .PDF via the Maas Documents tab. 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 ? There's a lesson in here. DON'T store all of your coins iin one place. I'd suggest (if you haven't already) to check your links on virustotal.com. Try cold storage on Coinbase or paper wallets as an alternative, or even a hardware wallet for several dollars if your Bitcoins are that important to you. Dependent on your counry, if we can track the person you can start legal proceedings against them.

You should never now be able toose that 3 BTC though. You may aswell use a paper wallet instead of an offline computer (unless said computer is quite old). It may also be recommendedthat you keep a small amount (no more than 10%) in a HOT wallet incaseyou need it.

Yes I also do not reply to any person who provide me some offers in my emails, As I think at that time I have not shared my email with such a company or organization then why they contacted me, you also only respond to them from where you apply for job.

oh my godness seriously 425 Bitcoin and 39,612 Litecoin, i might stop breathing if i lost that amount, firstly i feel sorry for your lose, well in my country there is no regualtion about bitcoin, thus, if you lost your bitcoin either by hacking or scamming, there is no way to get your bitcoin back i hope you will find the solution Losing 425 bitcoins is like loosing a whole lot of money like millions. That’s too much to loose, but I don’t know what suggestion to give. I don’t know if there is any way you can track the person. With the current price of bitcoin which is about $433+ per 1 bitcoin, you just lost about $180,000, omg, that’s too much.

But i a fail to understand why you would not store it on a trezor. But back to the case You say it is personal. Make sure to make a list of person you suspect. Gather all information in a document, so you won't forget. Make sure to update the doc everyday. Sent the doc to the polic. With this kind of money they will transfer it to a higher authority. Best of luck mate.

This is awful. But at the same time you should never download any unknown files and such to any computer that has anything sensitive at all on it. If somebody insists on you installing software, do it on a virtual machine, on a different computer xD

Best of luck mate. it is true you have to do some what investingation of what went wrong, but you told that you got hacked then i think it is your fault . I know how you will be feeling , it is very hard to find out the hacker even if you find you can do nothing.
