I am sorry for your loss, I know how you fell right now.

I know this might not bring much comfort, but there are positive and negative in every action, try see the positive and then will you feel better.

Use this incident as a learning experience:
Start making it a custom to have a strong password policy (Most people are sometimes too sloppy with this).

And all the other good safety stuff:
Use different password for different sites.
Use 2-3 way authentication (when available)
Use special email account for you bitcoin business.

This might save you much more money in the future than you have lost today, if you learn your self to be "paranoid" on the internet.

Again, sorry for your loss, I hope the best for you and I am sure you will recover.

Thanks mate! That really helped. You learn best from your mistakes!

Luckily he didn't steal my Litecoins, probably because they weren't worth much at that time. Now its worth like 10 times more. I've got it set up with 2-way authentication with Google authenticator.

It's probably some person in China. Looks like they thought they wouldn't be tracked. They probably used a stolen credit card to create a VPS at Nobistech, chained a proxy and moved your bitcoins.

Or it could be someone else using a proxy in China, but usually those proxies are slow. There would be better alternatives. It doesn't add up. Why not choose Transnistria?

+ file a police report

I doubt police will do anything.

@OP deal with the loss and make your cryptocoins safer.

2FA should be enabled, and you should keep your fund in your own wallet (offline wallet is even better).

Maybe it's time to use VM and linux for your wallet?

Or learn to use paper wallets. It is complicated, but worth the troubles

It's quite likely that the computer from which the connection was made was itself hacked.
Using hacked servers to cover their tracks is pretty standard behavior of internet criminals - much easier than installing TOR and using it correctly :-)

Thanks, I'll give them a call! Maybe they can give me the name of the owner of that IP adress.
If they won't agree on giving it to me private, I guess I gotta file a police report. If the police asks them to hand out his name/adress etc, they are required to do so, right?

Did you call them?

I haven't called them yet, I sent an email instead.

Got this reply:
"We have forwarded your complaint to our customer. Thank you!

Ticket Details
---------------------------------
Ticket ID: ***-***-*****
Department: Abuse
Type: Issue
Status: Closed
Priority: Medium

Support Center: https://support.ubiquityhosting.com/index.php?"

It seems like a company called "Nobistech" is using Ubiquity as their hosting-service. Hence they have forwarded the complaint directly to Nobistech.
