I'm not clear on this one point. If somebody got a hold of my private key and moved funds from an address that I claimed on the ledger, is that against the law? At what point could that be considered a crime? For example, if they hacked into my machine and stolen the private key; if they sniped the pk while snooping on a public access connection; brute forced the pk into existence; or just plane snapped a shot of my qr code over my shoulder....ect In which of those examples could I pursue prosecution for the theft of my coin?
Yes, of course, this is very illegal. Because the hacker has stolen what it does not belong to. But that's the work of the hacker, just stealing and making everyone uneasy for fear of losing his money. But if this happens in my country, I can guarantee no one can help. The government will not be responsible for this incident.

yes, because it is very harmful to us, if someone takes or claims that does not belong to us it can already be proved that they committed a great crime.
This could be under the investigation of cyber crime division, BUT does your government recognizes Cryptocurrency in your country in order to make legal actions regarding this case?
This could be a perfect example of a good feature for cryptocurrency to be regulated by the government. PROTECTION.
Any pass word in any account in the internet is considered a personal belonging, considering private key of electronics wallet This could be a perfect example of a good feature for cryptocurrency to be regulated by the government. PROTECTION.
is considered your personal property belonging, even if bitcoin is illegal or legal in your country hacking personal information is considered a violation under the cyber law.
Yeah I understand your point. But still different when a certain country regulates cryptocurrency. During times like these, they could fully attend and cater your needs, file specific charges against the criminal because cryptocurrency is already part of the system. Whereas if cryptocurrency is illegal in your country, you might be charged for using it and not abiding the law and your complain will be trashed, nobody wants that to happen.

Under the protection of law all things declared under the name of any individual is considered and needed to be protected by law, as for example declaring source of income and declaring your private properties when paying your tax, incase your profile and online account related to business or any private property you have the right to cease any criminal who poke or stole something from your property, but in cryptocurrency it is difficult to file a case since we are not registered to any government agency hence law can't protect us directly when our wallet account are hack.
Invading, accessing or hacking someone else's btc wallet without the owners permission is fraud, the issue is that you cannot as well report this to the authority because most country see it as illegal so there is no protection for customers .
No, you can still ask help from the government if one of your wallet accounts gets hacked, yes that a part of fraudulent and it is still punishable by the law if you caught the suspect. It's a part of cybercrime case related and that is illegal activities by the law.But mostly this case probably unsolved due to hard trace suspect, the best thing to do is be careful with your account and secure.
Most of civilised country's recognise digital theft.
Different definitions are taken in to consideration. But most of those states have
something like " if one breaks through securities to poses things that are hidden behind those
securities, this is considered a crime against law of possession" In my country at the least
most of cyber goods, like items from WOW or LOL are protected under this law.
I think bitcoins are no different, also are goods, digital but still.
You have a good answer buddy. But what kind of civilized country, is that a country considered bitcoin as legal? If that so, then, theft of someone's key privacy will automatically considered criminal, what he did is illegal. But if in the country where crypto are illegal, I don't think crypto believer would receive any legal action from the government against the theft specially when cryptos on such country is illegal.

That's why I always say that cryptocoins being regulated is not a bad thing at all. It protects users from a lot of bad things. Sure, the govt takes a portion of your money, but it's worth it.

It is a fundamental question and it is precisely the main problem of cryptocurrencies: legal protection! In many countries they are considered more or less like gambling tokens so no one would be punished for violating a cryptowallet.
I think so it's illegal but untraceable too means if a person get access to your wallet and send money to other wallets you can't find him.

Yes. In the cryptomir, legal support must be serious
in my opinion It is illegal for someone to hack your bitcoin, as it is your bitcoins and the person who steal will have to be treated the same as are treated by stealing other currencies.
Its very good question but i think that here is don't have any laws to prevent these threats if such a problem occurred than who will asset it and on which bases they will make a good solution for it.the best thing is that you will be very care full.
Exactly. Technically it's not illegal because there aren't any legal boundaries yet covering crypto. That's why i think having certain regulations are also vital with crypto's progress. Though it's not going to be easy hacking one's wallet unless of course the owner becomes careless with his security keys
The fact that there are no special norms doesn’t allow us to make things which are not ‘morally correct’.Anyway there exist too many general legal norms which regulate situations like that and nobody has the right to touch another’s property right..and I think this principle is the part of every country’s constitutional doctrine...anyway if there are no special norms,it means that people must use more general norms about this issue...

if viewed from a religious point of view it can be said to be a theft and get a sin, but if viewed from the side of the law, how else crypto currency has no regulation and you can not report this case anywhere due to lack of rights.
two problems are seen 1 virus problem. and 2 is private key.
