wow
it shocks such a large sum of money. I am very concerned about you,
hopefully you can solve the problem. I think you should find out your funds are lost and sent where.
Ouch. Sorry to hear the news. It is never fun to lose coins in that manner. Happened to me a few years ago also. Have been paranoid-cautious ever since. Hope you can gain some semblance of it back.

IDK but i think that 2FA is enough, not? When i have phone verification there is no way how to hack me...anyone disagree?
What are you talking about,2fa Ether wallet 
, i am really sorry to hear about your loss,this is the biggest theft in recent history that i know off and i am not sure how you are going to get those back,hope the hacker makes a move that could identify him and get back your coins,$550k is a hell lot of money and the wifi you used must be the issue here.Every week there are people losing money due to a wallet hack or exchanges getting hacked, ranging from thousands to millions of dollars getting stolen.
This is a big loss, but certainly not uncommon in crypto.

if you have 2FA security i believe you are safe , Sorry to hear that you lost your money.

Wow I didn't realize mobile number switching was such a big problem. That's a little scary and makes me consider calling and trying to get more security on my account.

Sad to see this happen in cryptocurrencies world. It makes lot other people return back to their banks. But it happens. I try to share my coins in different wallets so if one is hacked others are safe at least. I think that is the best thing to do. Even 2fa isn't safe.
Sorry to hear that...stuff like this is what scares me about crypto. Can you tell us a little more about where it was stored and what kind of vulnerabilities you think you had?
That's not gonna been back again to your account and I'm sorry for your lost! hacker and account thief never back again what they stole and it can't be trace and I don't found any related topic that has any solution of this kind of attacked. 
Sorry that this happened. Today, I was holding a diamond earring I just took off and it slipped my hand into the drainer that had no catch. The earring went down the drain and I could not do anything about it. Luckily, it wasn't so expensive and I did not even want to hire plumbers to find it back. $550k is a lot and there are probably ways to find it back and legally. Trace it back to the hacker somehow if you do it soon enough. Best wishes.
Aw, im sorry for your loss mate. You should put a 2fa on your mobile/desktop wallet. I think you've connected toa malicious wifi. You need to be extra careful next time if you're connecting to a public wifi. Don't put important details.

Lol, I'm not storing my coins online
I'm using Electrum, believe I can't turn 2FA on that
I have some coins on Bittrex since I move them pretty often...i dont think it is too risky with 2FA..
You don't have to get hacked if the exchange steals your coins
ouch hope you manage to get some of it back 
impossible..

With exchanges the risk is more in them going offline and taken your coins with them.
I hope OP can recover some of his funds.
Anyone think this thread may be a lie?
yes.
i have WAY less coins and even i use max precautions.
don't make any sense.

2FA is good, but not "hack proof". One way is to get your hands on your private keys. If someone gets that, they can easily drain your wallet. But there was also an article the NYTs the other day where hackers had not only accessed someone's coinbase account, but they had switched the phone service over to a new phone that the hackers controlled, so they could authorize the transactions.
