Topic: Ledger hacked - page 2. (Read 383 times)

I'm sorry for your loss. It's impossible to revert the money that was stolen by the hacker. The only good thing to do is to avoid using ledger.

There have been a lot of cases related ledger's hack. Ledger is a flawed wallet.

There were many victims telling Ledger developers about this, but they never cared.

I'm sorry for you loss, I don't think that anyone can help you out to get your funds back, as we all know that addresses doesn't have a name.

Not sure though how you lost your BTC and ETH, it could be from a phishing attempt on you or another sophisticated methods by the criminals. Maybe you connect your ledger to a already compromised machine of yours, I reckon.

And let this be another lesson for everyone here, just be careful and make sure that before you plug your ledger, check everything first and if you are updating your ledger live, be sure that you are connect to the legitimate website as there are a lot of phishing website out there.

There is absolutely zero chance of that because i never used that seed phrase, never, and never stored it amywhere beside on ghe piece of paper. I have no idea what happened. And right now that is not my primary concern. Police report is filed but I have no hopenin that. What I am looking for is for somebody who can track such things and help me freeze it on some exchange if that is possible, I am also seeking legal help locally, but technical part I dont have. If somebody is capable and willing to do so please contact me. Yoi will not br helping for free, thatbI guarantee. Advice about internet security I dont need, I am dealing with crpto for 10 years and and with computers for 30 and nkw jow to keep myself safe. This is an incident for which I need help. quote author=Pmalek link=topic=5509482.msg64541595#msg64541595 date=1726574137]
What did you do?

Despite Ledger being closed-source and no longer a recommended wallet, people who own them don't magically get hacked and have their wallets emptied. I think that one of two things happened: You entered your seed phrase somewhere online or in a fake software that was emailed to you and you believed it to be genuine or someone got hold of your recovery phrase and took everything you own. A third scenario is possible, and that is that you imported your seed in a hot wallet, where again it could have been a scam wallet or you have malware and keyloggers on your system.

Unless you tell the complete story in full details, you and us we will never learn what really happened.
The transactions are irreversible. You can file a report with the police and track the flow of the coins. If they get deposited into a centralized exchange, there is a small possibility that the service will freeze them if you provide the right documentation.

Going out on a limb here, but if it was an inside job I would *think* that we would see a lot more complaints popping up then just 1 random person.
Not saying it can't be, but until we have more information I would go with some other issue.

Also if he backup his seed phrase with those companies, that could be a other reason. Ledger Nano is not a recommended wallet. The wallet compromisation can be through offline attack, it can be through close source secure element, and it can be through online seed phrase hack from the companies. Attack for a good hardware wallet should be just through offline attack. Although, you are most likely correct that it is most likely an offline attack but ledger has been vulnerable in the past. I prefer open source airgapped hardware wallet which are the hardware wallets  that I can recommend.

Ledger is close source and there are hardware wallets that are open source and people need to buy hardware wallets in right ways too.

Since a Ledger is a hardware wallet, it limits the scope of attacks that can affect you. Most likely, the point of failure was the way you stored your recovery seed. However, since Ledger is closed source software, you will never be able to rule out the possibility that it was an inside job.

No one can help you to reverse Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchain. Bitcoin has no record of blokchain roll back even years ago after Binance exchange was hacked, their CEO Changpeng Zao proposed the idea to roll back Bitcoin blockchain but it was not supported by community.

Ethereum blokchain has a bad record with Ethereum the DAO hack, after that Vitalik team decided to roll back ETH blockchain. It caused a community split and chain split to Ethereum Classic and Ethereum. But Ethereum team will not roll back their blockchain because of your or any person individual mistake or personal hack.

You learned a hard lesson, now it's time to move on. You have to learn more about security of your devices, wallets and improve your practice on device and on internet.
