Unfortunately in crypto you have to be careful about what you are doing because once a thing is done, it is not going to have a chargeback and you have to just accept it as it is. That money is gone, nobody can get it back for you, I know that could be a lot of money for your friend but the reality is that there is nothing you could do to get it back, even if it feels incredibly upsetting to hear this and you want to know if there is a way or you want to know what he can do to get it back, nobody can help you with that and it's gone.
Next time make sure you are doing everything right and there is no method that could take your money away somehow, being hacked is very common in crypto because people are not careful enough and that is why too many people lose their money here. As long as he is very careful, he should probably not face something like this again.

It is very difficult to recover hacked wallet address, Your friend should immediately change the hacked address and stop using it. And there is no harm in using an application wallet provided by the developer, to be safer.
if wallet has been hacked then there is nothing to do but forget it and no one knows whose wallet it is, this is crypto bro, wallet will not have the owner's name like bank account.
it will be impossible to be traced consider even the centralized chain can still remain preudonymous. his friend already lost his money and it can't be recovered again. He should move on and try to invest his money to the legit project to be able recover his money asap.
This is a permanent loss.
It seems like your friend's situation is a hopeless one for the transaction became successful without him knowing for the hacker have outsmarted your friend when it comes to his account. This must serve as a lesson then to your friend to be careful when doing important transactions online and be aware and secure that the site you've been logging in is safe as well as the device and beware of clicking strange pop ups, links, emails from unknown resources for it might contribute to the loss of your funds because most hackers are genuinely wise upon doing their tasks. So bad that your friend got victimized by those kind of individuals.

He restored his account with his seed online.
He probably used a fake side.
At the same day someone canceled the leasing sold his 3k waves in btc and send the btc to the address...
Thank you
Aw! Sorry with your friend's loss but there's nothing we can do with that. Your friend has to learn the lesson but that's a very expensive lesson.He probably used a fake side.

Thank you
It's impossible to recover it.
He didn't click a link in a email.
He didn't sent the waves to a wallet.
Everything looks like he logged in with his seed on a Phishing site, because he want to check the balance in his wallet. Everything was OK, but at the same day someone logged in and sold everything
Those phishers are online 24/7 when someone gets into their trap, they'll wipe your assets quickly. He didn't sent the waves to a wallet.

Hello.

Best wishes and thanks.

Sorry those coins are gone since transaction are irreversible and there's no other way to get those coins back unless if that hacker did decide to return those coins again which
is really an impossible thing to happen.
This is why we should really be careful and keen towards our security information and making all sorts of things to make it secure neither your wallet
or any platforms that you've been using which needed to have that 2fa or other layers of security.
People never learn until they do experience unfortunate events.
How come the hacker did plushed all your waves, there's still 799.55306958 WAVES inside, your friend needs to login to get that amount back at least.
There are indeed projects in waves that are asking for private keys which is why I don't join on it particularly the waves.exchange where you can stake and earn weekly. If it asked for a private key, you may really be cautious.

Did you ask your friend if he clicks on somewhere maybe someone sent him an email? because I think he is a victim of Phishing and that could be the reason why his 3000waves came out from his wallet or maybe did he sent it to an exchange? that is not trusted because I read some posts in this thread that it might be an exchange address, contact the support of that exchange maybe he can get an answer to his questions.

It is very regret to your friend and very sad for this criminal Offence. If it is in exchange site, then you will contract their helpline. It is happen to me, then I contract their helpline and I prove that that is my coin, then they give to me back again.

for what I can see, it seems that this balance isn't completely empty and there are some assets inside... and 15.20604478 waves
I think it should be better he moves these funds immediately so he can save this small 0,5% of funds not too much but it seems inside the wallet... another suggestion for your friend: adopt a cold wallet for the next time!

You will need to give more information on how the hack took place if it is a personal wallet or an exchange so as to know which advice to give. If it your personal wallet then it may be hard to track and recover but if it an exchange then contact the exchange support team they can help you out.
It's a personal walletThanks

I saw the address that the OP mentioned, it seems that in this forum nobody uses that address.A friend of me got hacked and lost 3k waves.

However, it is very difficult, to find out a real hacker to detect.
Looks like your friend's Waves coin has been melted into some other coins.

https://zizihub.com/792746.jpg
It's quite difficult to find out the real hackers, because they have 1000 other addresses to transfer coins to.
Thanks for all your help!!!
I am not a expert.
He allow me to publish his address.(the friend who lost 3k waves most likely to a Phishing site)
He already deleted the browser history and he don't know the name of the site.
His address:
3PNvozLKBujaEsxuJFkgwnvebDoZjboztod
Again thanks
This is a bad scenario, your friend already lost his Waves due to phishing, it also happened on my wallet before, my MEW was hack because I was too careless on checking the website and I did not notice I already visited a phishing site.
What did I do, I just forget and learn from that mistake, that hacker would never return the coin they stolen, that's for sure.

The best thing your friend could do is to forget he had this wallet and move. Btw, remind he to warn everyone who sent waves to his wallet not to send anything him anymore, as the hacker would immediately withdraw it also. Second advice - force your friend to pass internet security courses if he is so inattentive.

Local police will not help you a lot.
I disagree. This is internet crime and should be reported. Depending on the country, the authorities will have department for electronic crime and fraud, which will be responsible to find clues, if there will be any. However, I agree they will not help a lot unless the scam or hack reaches millions of dollars in total.
ok maybe a crime report should be open I agree with you.
but an address is a useless clue and for an amount of money like this it's very hard to keep track and can be exchanged or mixed very easily.
there are hundreds of similar loss each year, just a small percentage have been caught but only for some mistakes made when exchanging coins or creating fake website.
Tell your friend to move on and don't expect anyone to help him out, he can lose more money again trying to pursue this lost waves coins, some can even private message you that they can help you get your coins back, this is another trick from scammers, it's better to move on and learn from your mistake
It is sad to say that your friend's Waves coins will never return unless he knows the hacker personally, as maybe the hacker knows where he hid his wallet key. Also, he may have made Crypto transactions in internet cafes or some public computers with a keylogger installed. So charge this to your experience so that it will never happen again.
