600,000 DOGE Stolen - Please Help

[Shallowgas]

Hi There,

I mined 600,000 DOGE in 2014 and obviously wasn't really bothered about them until recently, so I spent the last several days syncing my wallet back up to speed.

I was horrified to see that all the coins were withdrawn form my wallet

My wallet address is DQGye4CxaxG6JWW3J4XW8iStkhqR7WzpnN

Two amounts were sent to DSt3upFE1Z31SUx9vE3XzmYv9HkTYZWogF on 27/08/2020 1st one of -376.07930954, followed by -601372.35450604

8/27/20 00:32 Confirmed (217901 confirmations). Sent to (no label) DSt3upFE1Z31SUx9vE3XzmYv9HkTYZWogF -376.07930954
8/27/20 00:37 Confirmed (217896 confirmations). Sent to (no label) DSt3upFE1Z31SUx9vE3XzmYv9HkTYZWogF -601372.35450604

No transactions between 2014 and the stolen funds in Aug 2020.

Any help really appreciated.

That's permanent dude. The transaction that already confirmed by the block can't be rolling back again. There's no way for you to get back your money. You should move on.
It looks like your wallet gets hacked by someone.

Someone got access to your wallet.

[blue Snow]

Sorry for your loss, but Nobody can returning back if someone had stolen it. I assume, someone can access your pc at that time and get wallet.dat, better to check up on your PC, moving up either if still have another fund.

It is lost. You were hacked....there is nothing you can do to recover your funds.
The best you can do is buy a hardware wallet.  Ledger nano is the best option imo.

It is a lot of money to just let in a random hot wallet...

[X-ray]

No one can help you. Your funds already moved to the new address that created by hackers. I have been watching the hacker's tx history and your coins have gone.
It looks like you are installing the suspicious software that contains the malware. The hackers were hijacking your desktop dude. im sorry for your lost but it's a lot of money.

[cabron]

That's a lot of synchronizing there. You didn't bother to check the explorer first before synching.
If its sent already then its lost, nothing can be done except to say good luck to the person who got it.  How do you think the hacker got access to your wallet's key?
600K doge today is already a big amount of money and its price is still growing.

Too bad friends, as you know, when the transaction has been confirmed, it will be very difficult to return it back. Well, this doesn't just happen to you. many people have experienced this, even I have experienced it. besides that, the transaction has also been going on for a long time. I'm pretty sure that the person who stole your doge has already moved some or all of the doge he stole somewhere else.

[GreekCoiner]

Sorry for your loss but I would recommend you to stop reading the comments here and go to the police ASAP. Maybe they will be able to track the hacker. If the hacker has sent the coins to an exchange and the account is verified, maybe they can find who did it.

That's a huge loss, why now after four months of losing your Dogecoin, is it because it's pumping now, it's useless posting it here because we are all going to say the same thing, and that is your wallet was hacked and since Doge is decentralized and peer to peer, there's no way to recover unless you can trace who hacked and stole your wallet and you can prove to authorities that he really hacked it.

[poodle63]

The nature of blockchain is irreversible and once it got send to an address by the scammer you lost the coin.
Best action is to find out which exchange the scammer sends the doge to and possibly contact the exchange platform to freeze the account and funds altogether but that's if the thief still save the money in exchange otherwise it's hard to retrieve.

Cryptocurrencies are irreversible, so there's no way to get your coins back.

Beware if someone PM you offering able to recover your funds on any recovery websites, because it's only scam.

Since you're using a wallet, probably you doesn't have a good security on your wallet (e.g. strong password, 2FA) next time you can use hardware wallet to invest on large amount money.

yes, its irreversiblle and i think the OP got hacked by he didn't know it
i hope from this incident, all crypto hodler will be more careful and secure their wallet with all kind of security system

[Nighthog]

What kind of secure environment was this PC inside?

Encrypted? Laptop? regular home PC?
What kind of firewall, antivirus etc?

Would be good to know what kind of risk this wallet was in to get accessed.
Someone had physical access or was it accessed through the internet?

If encrypted, how did they access it? Brute force?

[Rampagoe004]

Grief, such an incident cannot be helped by anyone. It is common for people to enter your wallet and sell or send all coins, it is very permanent that all assets cannot be returned to the wallet, there is no other choice you have to get back up from the beginning and be more careful heart again with this hack a lesson for us all

[brightemo]

No one can help you with it. Because nothing can be done about it. You lost it. Full stop.

[gurunanakji777]

It's very sad to know someone accesses your wallet and transfers your Doge coins to its wallet. It's a huge loss for you if we see the current price of the Dogecoin. When block confirmation is there then there is no chance to get back your coins it's lost forever better take care of your wallets in the future so that nobody can access your wallet again.

[speedforce]

Sorry to hear that, but nothing cant be done to reverse the transaction and make your funds back.
Unless you can do investigation about who are the thief, but its will very hard to do.

all the good questions, but seems that we will not find out what happened, since OP made introduction post and disappeared from the forum
but, what one should get is that security is really important and you should keep your private key as secure as possible to avoid hacks in the future

[Shallowgas]

Hey,

I do have to go to work, so 24hrs is a reasonable time to reply...

It was a normal home PC which is connected to the internet when on. Windows 10.
Wallet was encrypted with a fairly weak password I guess.

Windows Anti virus and anti malware. Normal firewall with modem. Pretty sure it was accessed through the internet.

Can anyone run a trace so I can find out which exchange traded the coins?

I may engage a crypto PI if there is a lead.

Cheers,

I have many theories about your loss, but it doesn't seem like it will make you any money. But through this loss you can learn by yourself and protect your property properly, you should take the time to check the computer because I know many people use computers when participating in the field. In this area they are accidentally attacked by hackers for stealing information and that's awful if you have money.
