What to do after being hacked?

[Boxxl]

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.

[Fioraver]

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.

I think there's no solution it comes in hacking because even you trace the transaction it will not get back to you. So we need to careful because hackers do anything to take our money.

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

[cesarzgamer]

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.

[BQ]

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)  

[Milansilver7]

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.

[Boxxl]

Ok thanks all!

I thought maybe there is some option.
Good luck with trading

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).

you can track it but crypto coins dont have serial numbers how fiat and exchange cant hold it

When your id in hack, you just make new id.if you have already to make new id, dont lost again..because in this era many new profesional hacker. So be carefull for your id and keep use saftly hard pasword

[illiki23]

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.
