600,000 DOGE Stolen - Please Help

[Febo]

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.

A lot of times such steals are inside job. So make sure to think also about that. Who had access to your computer. Not only in 2020. But also before. They could steal your private key in 2017 and then just withdraw last year, so would not look suspicious.

It may be hard to remember but I think the first question to ask is who has had access to your pc? Did you get it repaired at all? Did you let a friend use it?

I think that the amount is still large to just lose it. Have you tried to think, maybe someone else had access to your wallet? Although, of course, if the money has already gone, then nothing can be done.

Hey,

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

Cheers,

600,000 doge at this current rate is $27,173.39 stolen so easily, if this home computer is access by you only then certainly from a malware in your computer,  in cases like this, it is hard to get your coins back because there is a probability the hacker traded the coins through dex and not cex, better you have it at the back of your mind that your coins are gone for good.

I wonder from which wallet the coins were stolen. And most notably, it was stolen when Doge was in the center of the action. This is very annoying in fact. All wallets promise security, but no one is insured to be in the victim's shoes. It remains only to sympathize to the author who lost such a large sum.

[didzi]

i'm sorry to heard about that,
but no one can help you my friend, because all transactions in blockchain are irreversiblle
wich mean its can be cancelled, except the thief will giving back to you the doge, but thats impossible

My wallet address is DQGye4CxaxG6JWW3J4XW8iStkhqR7WzpnN

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

It is really sad to hear your loss, the only option you can do right now is to contact all the exchanges providing the proof that you are the real owner of the address by signing a message from the wallet and inform that your coins were hacked and hopefully the exchanges could help you in getting your coins back. It is the only option you have right now.

Make sure you monitor the trail even if the hackers try to split up the coins in multiple wallets and hope for the best as the chances of getting it returned are slim but it is your only option.

[Sanitough]

In crypto, transactions are irreversible, so you can't recover it anymore.

If you like to know who stole it, you can start investigating on your own but like I said, you'll never get it back, unless you found the culprit and ordered him to return the stolen dogecoin, which I think 1% chances of happening.

[BuNga_cute]

Sorry I can't help you, but this incident can be a lesson for you not to store coins in one wallet. And also use a hardware wallet so that the coins
you store are safer, then activate all the security features of your wallet. Moreover, the current price of Dogecoin is on the rise, making Dogecoin
a target for hackers. If you live in a country where cryptocurrency is legal, you can report it to the police for help tracking where your Dogecoin
was sent.

Unfortunately, it would be hard for him to track the hacker.
That was last year. So someone got a hold of his wallet and sent it somewhere.
I don't think someone can help you bring back your coins. Hard lesson learned.
You can check some useful tips from the users above. But right now, you can't do anything much to get back your coins.

You are definitely right on this one where hacks can be always on that inside job thing which I do suspect out that this do particular connects out to those people who are just with you inside the house.

If there are other people or members of the family which do knows about crypto or friend of yours that do know about it and then you did just let your friend surfed or make use of your pc
without even knowing that he's trying to search up those keys then you're done.

Its already a big amount on the current increase of DOGE price and there's no way to get it back so its better to move on and better save your money on hiring some PI
for this incident.

[Traderbtcc]

Really sorry about this mate, you were hacked and at this point there's nothing you can do to retrieve those coins , they are gone for good I bet the hacker who stole it would have probably sold it out at a cheaper price, it was your job to keep your computer or private keys safe, but it seems you didn't and somehow it got into the hands of someone else., this shows that we should always be conscious and make security of our holding a top priority.

[livingfree]

Sorry with your loss mate, that's a huge amount these days.

There is no possible way that anyone can retrieve that from the hacker. And that happened last year? I guess those were already spent even before the bull run for Dogecoin came.

The balance has zero remaining balance.

[goaldigger]

This is very unfortunate and there’s no other way to get it back, I know its hard because its value today is crazy but you have to move on and learn from this big mistake, we all have to move on after we lose. This is why its very important to protect your wallet always, and never share anything to anyone.

[coin-investor]

You can't get it back, the best thing that you can do to help yourself is moving on, thinking that or remembering always about this incident makes you feel bad and you will only blame yourself, this is really frustrating because of the price of DogeCoin right now, but that's the only way to solve this problem.

[asriloni]

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

You can't and why? it's caused by the coin already mixed when it was coming to the exchange site's hot wallet.
that means if your coins will be unable to be traced. Even when you are asking the exchange site to reveal the identity that used scammer's wallet address and it might be impossible.
Move one dude.

I have been tracing the tx from the hacker's address and your coin already mixed to the various address. it's difficult to determine which exchange site that used to exchange your address.

[lienfaye]

Sorry for your lost but you cant do anything about it.

What you can do now is to move on and learn from that experience, keep your coins in a safer wallet.

Just think that you donated your doge to someone who really needs it which is the hacker who stole your coins.

[LogitechMouse]

Most of the transactions in crypto are irreversible and although it isn't anonymous, it really is hard to track or trace unless you are good to it.

600k DOGE right now is at around ~$27,000 which is a huge amount of money already. There is nothing you can do about it unfortunately . Move on, learn from it and invest again .

[Inkdatar]

This is so huge, the transaction cannot be reverted back into your wallet. There’s some scenarios happen that their wallet also got hacked so it is very important to secure our coins. Since your wallet got hacked we cannot do something about where and whom it sends. The price of doge pump these days but you still have the chance to recover your loss invest on some project that will bring profit to you.
