As the title suggests, I was hacked. It was my severance pay that was going to be keeping me going while looking for a new role. I'm running out of leads, and I'm pretty bloody desperate.

Details

1. Received ETH stakes email, took me to website that wasn't reported fraudulent at the time. Didn't even think about it, but I didn't think I entered any wallet info.
2. Yes I'm an idiot.
3. Literally got a new cable for my Ledger Nano yesterday, they managed to clean me out about 12 hours prior to moving the funds over.

Money was moved to ETH address, then Shapeshift and then finally Monero, to these addresses:

Website is registered on Gandi.net, whom I've contacted. http://whois.domaintools.com/xn--etherem-y24c.com

I've posted all over Reddit, and anywhere else I can. I'm not a complete noob, but also not overly technical so I don't know where else to look. IP addresses seem to be the last option?? I'm trying to figure out a way to send a message with XMR but I even emailed one of the devs of Monero and they say that's not possible, just to beg the thieves to return the funds, as it was over 30ETH. Cyber detectives? ANYTHING.

sorry for your loss but I think there is very little anyone can do to help you. You can try begging them but it rarely works. perhaps someone can help you but I highly doubt it.

I think don't waste your time, nothing is done even for hacked eth worth millions of dollars because there are ways for hackers to make it untraceable.

Many people lost their property by hacking, but no one could get their wealth back. Because the hackers have learned to hide themselves. I think you have to be very careful to avoid hacking. Can only protect you with caution. Do not open any unnecessary link or email.

Sorry to hear about this but it is very possible for your account or wallet to get lose by disclosing your information to a third party or not keeping your information very private.

I think it makes no sense to ask thieves to return money.
There are a lot of reports about hacking wallets.
People, be careful, do not store all coins on same wallet.

So sorry about that. No one deserves to get hacked, and have their coins stolen. I wish there was a way that this could have be resolved, and you get back all of your stolen coins. I think that you should get some time of if you need to, and then re-invest if you do have the funds. Then secure your wallets and all other accounts properly.

Unfortunately all you can do is keep track of where the money is going but you cant get it back. You cant contact BTC, ETH, and exchange or other third party to get help with this. Its unfortunate but that is how it is.

Sorry for your loss. These hackers seem to have an entire game plan for after they got the funds. I'm afraid they are long gone.

Maybe try some Bounty Hunting/Airdrops. I find after I take a huge disaster in life I get hit with same good fortune. Keep your eyes open and take chances. It will come back 10 fold.

Sadly, you will not be able to get it back. As far as I can see, they have hidden the domain registration information. Even if you have contacted the domain provider, they will not provide any information to you. Cryptocurrency is very secure, but it is easily hacked by the carelessness of the user. What a costly lesson!

I'm sorry that you got hacked and probably lost some funds/ This would be heartbreaking for anyone and sorry that it happened to you. I really wish that there was something that could be done,but I honestly doubt that. I would just advise that you try to be more careful and safe guard your data, so this doesn't get to happen again.

Oh man! Sorry about your loss. I'm afraid there is no possibility to get your coins back. If money was moved to Monero stealth address (i.e. encrypted address), then you won't be able to trace it or transfer it back to your wallet.

Decentralized and centralized both are not invulnerable from hack. There always have some risk both here. But ETF protest approximately 51% of attack.

I concur. The best thing to do is keep yourself safe at all times. After you lost your coins, there is nothing you can do.

Very unpleasant situation turned out. You should always be as vigilant and check where you enter information. I use a hardware wallet and so far, thank God there were no problems. Sorry for your loss

As others have mentioned it is not possible to get your funds back unless the hackers return it to you (which will not happen). I am sorry for your loss and I hope at least you learn some lesson from this. It is a good lesson for everyone out there to be extra vigilant when it comes to protecting your crypto currency

Once you are hacked, you cannot recover your account ETH available then. The hackers and spammers are always ready to stalk you and getting benefited. You may always be cautious about what you are doing that hampers you or not. Crypto space is a real dangerous place you should always be updated. I suggest you be more careful to be hack proof.

Sorry for your loss, I feel bad when this happens to people really. But the truth is that realistically, you can't get your ETH back

Unfortunately all you can do is watch your coins move around the blockchain. The ease and unregulation of crypto is unfortunately the positive and the negative to having a decentralized currency that no one is regulating.

From my point of view you can try to get your ETH back but its no matter you back it or not. Hackers main intention to steal your money. You can try to track it where it goes. It a major issue. They will take positive step to back asset.
