That is very sad mate, we should always watch our wallet address balance on the blockchain explorer, no need to download the blockchain but at least we can monitor it through the online explorer.
Have you using online wallet that require you to input the private key ? Probably that was the beginning of your problem.
Topic: 600,000 DOGE Stolen - Please Help (Read 543 times)
Well, you hadn't bother about those Dogecoins since 2014, hadn't put them on well-protected digital wallet and now in 8 years complain that someone hacked them. Just don't bother about Doges again. Faith the reality, you lost your Doges forever and can do nothing with this. Your situation might be a good experience for you to protect crypto in future.
Someone got access to your keys behind your back, can be an inside job maybe you like talking about crypto and private keys? Or you store the private keys on PC where malwares can steal your data, sorry mate you can't recover the Doge coins, just forget it and move on, next time be more careful

Yes, you may be right, understand that they weren't actually worth very much until the recent activity so I hadn't really thought about them since 2014.
It was not an inside job.
I think perhaps my PC did have some malware and I did have an old wallet.dat file in a folder.
I have formatted the hard drive and changed all my passwords to unique passwords using a generator.
Thanks for all your comments,
Does anyone know how to use https://ciphertrace.com/financial-investigations-and-blockchain-forensics/ or anything similar as I would really like to know which exchange received the stolen coins so I can at least make an inquiry.
Thanks,
This is unfortunate 
Sadly it's irreversible and there's nothing you can do about it. One thing that put you at a disadvantage is the transaction of the hacking because its discovery is 5 months behind the hacking incident. You could possibly track it and find out the exchange where the hacker puts your DOGE at and that will be your chance to make an appeal in it.

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.
You need to know in which country he lives and there cryptocurrency is legal or illegal, if legal then he can get help from police. In the hacker wallet this coin was hold just for 2 days in his wallet since hacked, so i think already sold out an exchange even though no need to use verified/KYC account for trade such amount of tokens. He is unlikely to ever get back this stolen token. There is nothing you can do but feel sorry for yourself. No one can help you. However hackers have moved your assets to a new address, you will no longer be able to find it. But be careful for the future, so that hackers do not get access to your PC. My wallet was also hacked in 2018, I suffered a lot; From then on I used my wallet very carefully.
Have you identified how your wallet got hacked and what are the steps you took to avoid these. The only option for anyone to hack your computer is when you are not taking your security or privacy seriously. If you have the basic understanding about how to secure your computer you wont be loosing your coins, before investing make sure you are secured enough to hold the money, if not do not spare your time in investing. 
I'm sorry, for the loss of your doge, if your PC has been hit by malware we can't do anything, I personally would be crazy to lose that much, but this could be your lesson, to be more careful, and my advice if it's more than 10k to move your assets to a wallet that has double security to access it
it is a pity that a person had such a problem, but we all must once again learn a good lesson from this and forget about the safety of our cryptocurrency assets. If a person has not used a wallet since 2014, then the probability of losing secret keys on the Internet is very small, especially if a person has an idea of the safety of secret information. Based on this, we can conclude that we are all under the gun of a hacker and any wallet cannot be secure, with the exception of a hardware wallet.
Perhaps it is worth paying attention to the fact where Doge was stored and perhaps the administration of the resource appropriated these coins, since they decided that they were lost, since there were no movements for six years.

I really want to say sorry for your loss , you cannot bring back these transactions, it is the sad thing about crypto it is traceless you will know the person who stole your DOGE and unfortunately, you work hard for that DOGE but someone reaps all your money, also I think you should check your privacy too maybe it is compromised if you have anything in your device better to withdraw it all and change all your passwords.
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.
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

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
