why only your account was stolen? if there were hacked, it must the whole account database was hacked

It was a phishing attack directed on me specifically, it wasn't any failure in Bitfinex system

If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

Of course, the OP now knows this!

My post is directed at those who can still learn from your (OP's) mistake, instead of having to make it themselves.

Take possession of your coins, and learn to secure your private keys people!

I earned those BTC from trading, and was still trading with them.
So this is why they were on the exchange.
If no BTC will stay on exchanges the market will just die.

Anyway, I did learn my lesson, but the question is if there is anything I can do to reach the thief.
The only details I have now is IP he/she used (which says nothing actually) and the BTC address to which it was sent.
The BTC are still in the address.

That sucks man, I'm sorry to hear that. I've had BTC stolen as well and I can't really offer any advice, but hopefully someone else can. The only thing I can tell you is that now keep the vast majority of my coins in cold storage. Good luck.

My Bitfinex account got hacked, and 4 BTC were stolen.
I know it sounds a little for many here, but I worked really hard on getting them.

Any help here to track the thief?
Tx. ID of the theft: db96d616a38b832491273a417f9b5b693614c34c56a383e10cedf1117c9d2be9

Much appreciated.
