Did you have a digital copy of your mnemonic recovery words (screenshots, photos, files)?

Did you engage with some shitcoins or shittokens with your wallet besides the Bitcoins it held? (People sometimes grant (unknowingly malicious) contracts in Ethereum or similar space full access to their wallet. Such contracts may not drain your wallet immediately but at some later time.

Where you tricked to enter your mnemonic recovery words somewhere else with your device being online?

OP you should have provided the said BTC address that was stolen from and not the address the coin was sent to then a signed message from the address for us to believe you are the real owner of the address just for clarity and for your story to look true. However bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, if the coin has already been moved out of the original address then it's lost forever. Maybe your passphrases has been compromised as that is the only thing that can grant anyone access to your coin and they move it out.

I know it is unreversable and I did transfer the rest of the funds to my exchange account straight away. My laptop was switched off and offline when this happened as I was on a flight. I checked when I got home, couple of hours after landing. I can share the transaction details here in case anyone can trace it. Is it possible to prove theft if the stolen funds were sent to a proper exchange, like coinbase etc?

Happy New year 🤗

If it was already confirmed, you can't recover them because BTC is unreversable. This is not the same as PayPal, where you can open a dispute and reverse the transaction.

Did you check the date when the transaction was sent? Then compare it if you open your wallet at that time?
If you didn't open your wallet at that time and sent BTC then your wallet is compromised.

If you still have funds from that wallet, I suggest better make a new wallet and transfer all of your remaining funds to the new wallet.
Also, do this on another device that you know is clean because maybe your current PC is infected with viruses and malware, or install a fresh OS before you create a new wallet.

Hi guys,

i just want to share my experience with you. This incident happened 3+ years ago. I logged into my ledger live app, and I found out that my remaining balance was sent to an unknown btc address. At the time I searched on the internet and I found out that this wallet was reported by a couple of other people. Tonight, I checked again my wallet and I found out that the owner of that address moved the coins to other wallets, maybe an exchange, last April (2024). I was wondering if anyone has a similar experience with me, and knows if it is possible to recover the coins in any way. The address that stole my coins is this : bc1qye8jqulxsk6jd4ehkjcm9rtp9fuufntqgqcagn
