I agree with you DiamondCardz, i was beign a dick, sorry for being rude.

Anyway, you were spamming for +1 post, and you know that, because you didn't read anything and just post repeating what was already said and didn't even read the OP, just the title. And you didn't contribute to the discussion, you know that (you didn't even had the  intention to contribute, as you didn't read), this is why it is called spamming.

 But that's does not justify being a dick. I edited the post before you answer, not after.

Let this be a lesson to anyone reading this thread.

Ideally, if you must use a web wallet, use a password manager and 2FA at a minimum. But either a hardware wallet or any form of cold storage on an airgapped device is ideal.

I highly doubt that you'd have willingly stored 25k euros on PayPal, yet you stored 25k euros on something even less respected - unfortunately you will never be able to trace that Bitcoin properly, even if it hasn't been fed through mixers it's unlikely that following the trail will give you any form of a lead.

You woke up this dead topic, and didn't even read it before posting?
He didn't use a web wallet, but in an exchange.

Yobit spammers are getting even lazier now....
My bad, but you are being a dick by calling me a Yobit spammer, and I'd appreciate you not lumping me in with them like that when I spend a considerable amount of time trying to reduce spam on this forum. My posts are what I consider to be high quality and I'm proud in that they normally attract a decent amount of merit. Literally the only thing wrong with my post is that I said he stored his money on a web wallet rather than exchange, which was down to a slip in my mind because this is in the Web Wallet secton, a quick edit will fix that.

The advice still applies for using exchanges. 2FA + password manager (which you skipped over in your now-edited post), and he should not store 25k on an exchange either.

Nor is the topic what I'd call 'dead', it was on the front page of the section. Sort out your attitude please mate.

---

I disagree with the below post and I think the argument being made is ridiculous, as my post made comments that had not been made on the thread, but I'm not going to start postfarming and spamming up a thread with an off-topic argument. Thanks.

Yeah, he should have set a 2FA, which was already recommended...

Ideally, if you must use an exchange to store money, use a password manager and 2FA at a minimum. But either a hardware wallet or any form of cold storage on an airgapped device is ideal for that sum of cash, and you can reduce risk by transferring smaller amounts onto an exchange, performing trades, withdrawing to a wallet you control, and repeating.

Hi, I need your help.
first of all, I will explain the situation to you.

on July 01, 2018 I was hacked into my gmail account and stolen 1.9... btc ( 25 000 € +-~ !!!!) Yet I have an anti-virus ( MalwareBytes, adwcleaner, ccleaner

My Bitcoins were in my Kraken account and
the hacker (a Cryptonator.com user received my money and turned it into another currency, that's what Cryptonator told me by email)

so the hacker, entered my Kraken account and transferred them to 2 btc addresses, ( I'll just give the names of the wallets for now)

- the name of the wallet: Cryptonator.com ( 00000b3dcf9cd062)

- e3237ffbd18866ca ( e3237ffbd1) ( --> I will need your help to find out who owns this wallet)

What I know about the hacker,:
- He is a Cryptonator.com user (he is always active, he receives and sends Bitcoins. He also has some balance for the moment on his Bitcoin address)
- ip address (maybe rdp or an online vps) I don't know

I have filed a complaint several times and Cryptonator told me to give them the complaint so that I and (the police, the Brussels King's Prosecutor, the Brussels Cybercrime Centre, the police station) can have information useful for his arrest

I gave them proof of filing a complaint, now they told me to send them a formal request from the court / or law enforcement / or lawyer.

Cryptonator also told me to tell the police: to contact Cryptonator by email and make a request to get the information about the hacker (which I did 11 months and 1 days ago)  

(it's a coincidence maybe? I got hacked on July 01, 2018, I could file a complaint several times including on December 01) and I send you this message on October 02, 2019  Roll Eyes  Undecided

If anyone has any knowledge of how to find the hacker. Please tell me.

Thank you very much.


You are the only one who has all the information, if you really want help to catch the hacker you cooperate with the authorities, because they have the expertise to help, Cryptonator seems to be cooperative to your cause, so just continue what you have been doing by giving them all the information you need and if I were you I will not post all the information on the internet, exposing it might jeopardize the situation.

That is why i'm not recommended use exchanges as wallet.
What i confused how the hacker know your email, also they can easy see your gmail.
On Gmail there is bunch security, atleast they will inform with notification to your phone if something wrong or indicated hacker.
I think that is hard to know who hack it, except cryptonator have his identity.

How did he hacked your Gmail account? does it not have a 2fa or even a phone verification, even if you have strong passwords or a very powerful anti-virus if your email is not secure, hackers will find a way to hack your email, be sure to have it now, to avoid losing the second time your story is interesting better move this to the scam section, for better awareness.

This seems like a planned scam instead of hacking. I think you need to forget about what you have lost and move forward. You can never get back what you have lost, this is cold and hard truth of this crypto industry.

This is stale development and it sure happened over a year ago and at the time Bitcoin didn't have much gain to it. I bet, you always remember this whenever there is a surge in the price of Bitcoin. You better let that incident rest for honestly I don't think you can ever get back your money,, no matter what investigation is set up.

First thing I'd like to say is, I'm sorry for you're loss, scams are ripe within the crypto community, because whereas there is new innovation. there is sure to be plethora of scams equally as clever. I'm not sure why you didn't activate two-step authentication on Kraken exchange, which would have stopped the hacker in his tracks. None the less, I'm not sure theirs anything you can do about it besides educate you're self in order to prevent it from ever happening again.
  Charge it to the game, study all of you're moves leading up to mistakes made and move on.

This is a bad incident that shouldn't happen with any other cryptocurrency users. Op should have been more responsible, because he should have kept his bitcoin in a private wallet. Holding the funds in an exchange isn't advised. Also the hacker is already prepared for it, because he needs the access to the mail as he enters through a different ip address. I don't think this will be recovered easily, even with the help of the cyber crime people.

Sorry about your loss mate, i was also hacked recently and loss some few Ethereum and bitcoins as well. The best advice i can give is for  you to becareful next time. Back up your files and have a new operating system as i believe some hackers might have a remote access to your pc. Also if you have your keys on your working pc please take them off and store your keys on a different offline computer to prevent hackers from having access to your keys even if they get a remote access to your account.

Sorry for your loss.

It is going to be hard to track this hacker for various reasons. It can be done, but hardly anyone here can help you.

What we can do is tell you how to keep your bitcoins safe and get informed, because you are totally misinformed about how bitcoin works, how to store it, how to use exchanges, the risks involved... you are doing it all wrong.

1 - First of all, you should right now add 2FA (2 factor authentication) in your gmail and kraken accounts. I reccommend that you use Authy (not google authentication).
If you had 2fa enabled into any of those accounts, your coins would be safe now.
You can read about this here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3178131.0;all

2 - Never keep large amounts of funds in exchanges. Such a high amount, 25k EUR, should be in a hardware wallet. Go ahead now and buy a Ledger Nano or a Trezor. Only from the official websites. ledger.com or trezor.io.
Your coins were in the exchange, under their private keys. So the coins were really not yours, but Kraken's, as they were the custodial service.
Bitcoin was not designed to be used like this. You should be holding your coins private keys.

3 - Try to find the blockchain transaction to the hacker's wallet, not only his cryptonator ID.
His cryptonator ID is good, but we need his blockchain address as well, or the blockchain transaction.

My personal advice: If you want to ever buy bitcoin again, buy a small value and send it to your hardware wallet. Try to understand how bitcoin works, and then you buy more.

the hacker got an access maybe to your email or any information from your computer was leaked for some reason, maybe you have clicked a link that you should not. Using police power wont help you unless you really have found legit confirmation for the location of the hacker. but we all know hackers are smart, they will hide their identity as long as they can.

answer for sunsilk
- I had completely forgotten to put the 2fa on kraken. my Google account detected a connection ( critical alert) but didn't block my account I don't know why. And when someone has to connect. Google sends me a notification on my phone and I have the choice to accept
It already happened so I can't blame you on that part but you should learn from that lesson that it's very important to activate 2FA with your accounts on exchanges or any platforms that allows it. If you were already notified by google that someone else is logging in with your account, why you did not do something about that ASAP?

What's kyc (sorry I'm Belgian) 
Cryptonator also told me that once I give these documents, it will be legal to give me information and his cryptonator account (where there is ~ $100 and maybe more in the future).
KYC = user sends ID to verify account. But whether cryptonator will give you that information that you need, you don't have the guarantee that they will return it unless legal action will be taken. A lot of months has passed and as you've said it was already traded.

-the police didn't contact Kraken or Cryptonator
Did you follow up your request to them?

Also this looks like a scam (indeed it is), creating a topic in the scam accusations will also help.
Does it seem like it's pure hacked and it's almost impossible to find the hacker unless he is okay to spend much money to find the hacker. I think creating a thread on scam accusation won't help much and OP doesn't really know who to accuse.

And, I can't find KYC policy on cryptonator site so if there is no KYC there then it's impossible to find the hacker, unfortunately.

What's kyc (sorry I'm Belgian) 
Cryptonator also told me that once I give these documents, it will be legal to give me information and his cryptonator account (where there is ~ $100 and maybe more in the future).
KYC (Know Your Customer) is documents verification, usually used by a firm to avoid money laundering.

Pretty sure you just have known this forum site now, And it is pretty late to inform us about this it is already 1 year past, And the hacker might delete his account or if the account still exists maybe it is not active now and the IP does not exist anymore either.

I am sorry for your loss and I pretty piss every time I hear stories like this we can not undo the process the hackers did, And there is a small percentage that we can get back your bitcoins even though we have known the owner of that account, The only suggestion I can give you is to move on and accept the fact you can still earn your lost Bitcoin.

Your email was hacked and the hacker gained access to your Kraken wallet through your email. You didn't activated 2FA by that time? why? I don't use cryptonator.com but do they require KYC? I think that will be the only way to track the hacker but if not, sorry for your loss and there's no way to retrieve your 1.9BTC.

Cryptonator also told me to tell the police: to contact Cryptonator by email and make a request to get the information about the hacker (which I did 11 months and 1 days ago)  
So, after all of those months of waiting until now they did not reply? it's why many have been telling that don't store too much amount on exchanges.

If you are offering someone to pay for it then you are asking for a service. In that case you will find targeted people in the Services section.

Also this looks like a scam (indeed it is), creating a topic in the scam accusations will also help.

What I am suggesting is that, this is a wrong board for this topic. You will see people are not giving you much information that you need. Move it to an appropriate section.

By the way, that's a lot of money and I am sorry to hear that.
