how does it happen? which wallet your friend used?. If wallet exchange you can contact exchange support. if non-custodial wallet nothing to do, this means the hacker owns your friend private key, you can't take it back 3000 waves, you have to contact the local police.

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

without having a specific website it is impossible to get more information. can you get the url ?
It's full of service ready to steal your private seed (leasing to a node isn't the issue) and this is why it's always a must use only trusted site... probably this one is actually stealing private seeds since there are other transactions Sad

^ It looks like OP was got hack by a fake exchange, we don't know who is the owner of that wallet but I saw that there are tons of transactions there per see.
Try to have a look at the TX that I provided in this post, https://wavesblockexplorer.com/address/3PGS9W5aZ4kdBFJJ9jxmgjLW8qfqu1b3Y66/tx.
If that is an exchange, can you tell us what exchange site that your friend sending that amount of Wave that you have said? Nevertheless, here what I say, sorry for your friend's loss but that is the unrecoverable amount that your friend lost, the crypto transaction is irreversible, your friend needs to accept the fact and avoid that it will happen again in the future.

Hello.
A friend of me got hacked and lost 3k waves.
The Waves was send to this address :
3PGS9W5aZ4kdBFJJ9jxmgjLW8qfqu1b3Y66

I saw the address that the OP mentioned, it seems that in this forum nobody uses that address.

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://wavesexplorer.com/address/3PGS9W5aZ4kdBFJJ9jxmgjLW8qfqu1b3Y66/tx

It's quite difficult to find out the real hackers, because they have 1000 other addresses to transfer coins to.

What should he do now?
Does anyone know this address?
Best wishes and thanks.

If your friend know that address then he should pursue to get the WAVES back to him. I think the address was likely associated to an exchange or from a whale address since there are too many assets on that address. I doubt that your friend will ever get back that one but at least try some ways like how did the WAVES sent on that address.

Thats very unfortunate incident, thats why each and every one of us crypto users should be aware that anyone can be a victim of hacking and the best thing to do is to make our wallet security updated and if possible use a multi-layered security level, dont just settle on just a single password, use 2Fa such as code via email or mobile number and of course secure those private keys in your position.

He can do nothing as the transaction in the blockchain is permanent and it's an irreversible dude. It looks like that will be related to the hacker's address or exchange site address.
I think that someone knows his private key or access to the his wallet.

I'm sorry for your friend, but now that the waves have left his wallet and are already on a wallet that is not controlled by himself he can do nothing to get his waves back.
When you look at that adress though you can see that it is very active with a transaction going on almost every minute. Did your friend lease his wave to a node or something to earn some interest or something?
It could also be a exchange adress because that amount of transactions normally don't happen on a wallet of a private user.
