https://etherscan.io/address/0x59d4f90D89e72464BADfB7852cCE771Db3D1B726

this is binance answer :
As per checking, we found the transaction has been confirmed by the blockchain. Due to the anonymity of the blockchain, we are not able to trace down the address.

I also sent an Eamil to the Tether blockchain support and here is the answer :
Thanks for getting back to us.

We feel regrettable to hear about your incident, and we truly understand your feeling and anxiety at this moment. We would like to assist as much as we could.

It's hard to recover your loss to be honest mate, unless Binance platform itself is the one that was compromise.
I don't know if you have secured your account well, if you put a 2FA security, I doubt one can hack your account, or if one can, at least it would not be easy.
My suspicion is that your email might be hack and your Binance password, so someone has gain access to your account and withdraw your money, I'm sure the site have the logs of your account, you can ask from them and investigate on your own.

Lastly, I like to say sorry for your lose, just be careful next time.

Thank you for your warm words , yes this tragedy taught us many things , many many

Sorry for your loss, it's painful to lose such substantial amounts. Since Binance and Tether have replied that they would be unable to help freeze or recover the funds, you can keep monitoring and tracking the movement of the funds. Hopefully, the scammer will send to to a CEX where the user identity is known.

There are two factors that your binance account being hacked. The first factor, the hacker know your password account and have an access to your email or even to your phone. Because once you try to sign in you have to fill a code that sent to your phone number it always like that.

And the second factor is, you use google authenticator feature to sign your account and the hacker know the code of the google authenticator so as they can stole all your asset in your account. And there is another chance for the hacker stole your money through the binance exchange directly like has happened last year. But at that time all money that was stolen it was compensated by binance exchange.

Ridwan Fauzi what you want to say is that personal account got compromised, not Binance! And I believe this is a case right
here! This is a good topic for learning, how we need to keep ourselves safe all the time, security is important when you deal
with money!
I feel sorry for OP, I hope he will learn something from his mistake! He should try to find a source of the problem and to
tell us how hackers got him, we can learn from that as well!

after a lot's of search I found this : Etherscan Phishing Form

just to report that you lost your money and you must prove it , seems its just for phising

You should contact the binance support and request them about from where the transaction got intiated like tracing down the IP might prove that you actually didn't made the transaction then you can go for tether support amd ask them to freeze or refund the amount in the hacker wallet.The chance of happening is very less though but still give a try.

Why is it that people who can afford to lose so much money seem to always get into this kind of problem?

If I had 55k USDT or whatever, I would never even for 10 minutes leave it on an exchange account,,, which has API access to some other place!

All the time I read people losing so much,,, is it because they have so much money they cannot really care about it?

you right, we never put this amount of money in the account for so long, but seems the hacker had access to the server and waiting for good moment untill we charge account 55000 and then he done it Sad

in this case, Binance detected that this ip is allowed in the account but they didn't know that yes ip is allowed but the request is not allowed,I think they could implement kind of account tracking in their system so based on your account history they could find that this request with this amount is not usual so lets al least get an email confirmation for the account owner.

I don't think they will implement such thing, as API is usually made for automatic stuff and won't request any confirmation. They could also argue that your own server and API is the one that is buggy and instead you have to fix them. On top of that, they already warn people that enabling withdrawal is risky.

At least you can inform them the hacker address so they could block it. For the future, I guess you should avoid withdrawal from your Binance wallet directly and instead make your own server/wallet to process withdrawal.

How can someone access your Binance account? To be able to withdraw money from Binance exchange, you need to verify 3 factors. Email, Phone and 2FA .. It's too difficult for someone to hack your account except the ones closest to you.

Another expensive lessons to learn here in crypto sphere and it's really sad to hear this kind of stories. I don't want to sound rude here, but you should move forward, learn from this mistakes, or at least understand how the hackers where able to obtain your information and how he withdraw. And from then on, practice good security hygiene so that it you won't make the same mistakes again.

what kind of plugin you use? did you usually also use your api to withdraw money? as far as i know withdrawal via api was never recommended, if you plan on continuing your business maybe change that too. going through some small troubles to ensure your funds safe is always worth it.

yes we have a local exchange website and we used their api for withdrawing automatically to our customer's wallet, but hackers could access to our server and then send a request to our API and as result, it sent a request to the binance, in this case, Binance detected that this ip is allowed in the account but they didn't know that yes ip is allowed but the request is not allowed,I think they could implement kind of account tracking in their system so based on your account history they could find that this request with this amount is not usual so lets al least get an email confirmation for the account owner.

This is a big amount of course, so even if we say it would never ease the pain of the OP, still sorry for your loss. Undecided

However this mistake should help carve your importance for securing your stuff. Start by keeping seperate passwords for all accounts, very important. Change your email and Binance account passwords as soon as you can. If you are using similar passwords anywhere else, change them too.

Also install some well known antivirus software if you are using Windows because I dont expect you to be using Linux in which things would be different already.

Once again do attempt to contact local authorities if possible and report about the theft. Crypto related thefts are still a grey area and not possible to be tracked so you have secure yourself.

People do only learn when they do lost big sums of money which they should really be concern of security stuffs earlier rather than making up changes when its too late.

Platforms or any person on this world wont really able to help because once the transactions has confirmed then theres no turning back.

All he had to do is to move on because even if he do trace it out and he should be fast and attentive on where possible exchange those tether would be deposited.

If lucky then it would be blacklisted on such exchange if not then theres nothing you can do if that scammer able to convert it out.

Thank you for your sympathy , yes the only way is to track the transaction untill it arrive to knowing exchange or tradewebsite and find clues,

I hope that you'll track that guy as it's Tether.

I don't understand why they didn't allow you to grant the request of blacklisting the address so that hacker won't even be able to use the money that he stole. They should have taken your case not that quick but thoroughly looked at.

Are you not adding any other security measure before you can confirm your transaction, like 2fa or email confirmation? binance have this option so you will know every time that there is unrecognised transaction and you can block it once you see it in your email .

You can do nothing now but you can request to block the address or marked the address as hackers account. No idea how this works but I saw Something like this has happened before that they can mark it.

Thank you for your reply , as I mention before it wasn't by binance website and enable 2fa and ... doesn't work , we have used their API ,

So sorry for your loss, but nothing can be done, there are several cases of hacked accounts like this, and mostly commonly to exchange. Exchanges are often hacked, and binance is not trustworthy. In 2019, many individual binance accounts were hacked, binance agreed to this and promise to strengthen it security, this could be the same case and it can be due to your carelessness as well. I will advice you not to use exchanges that have been hacked before like binance for trading, there are many exchanges that are reputed and safe that has never been hacked before.
But also know that to keep such amount, hardware wallets are the best options, you can easily send your tether to exchanges and make your trade and send your coins back to hardware wallet instead of risky your funds on exchanges. Exchanges are not safe means to store such large amount.

First you need to ask yourself how is it possible that someone came up with the opportunity to gain access to your Binance account? Is it phishing (you compromised your log in data on a fake Binance page), or did you keep it in a way that made it available to someone (online or physically)?

What Binance can do is provide information on the IP address from which the transfer was made, but I am afraid that nothing more than that is possible. On the other hand, as far as I know, Tether can freeze funds - so if I don't miss something the address to which hacker sent the funds, can be frozen and the funds returned to the rightful owner - this is a fully centralized cryptocurrency.

We have a local website exchange and we use binance API to buy and sell, seems there was a plugin in our web server which could uploadfile, anf we think they open shell via upload file,so request sent from the IP Address of our website and binance accept it,

How did somebody withdraw that fund? it needs access to your email and google-authenticator because when I'm making a withdrawal it needs a code on my authenticator plus it needs to verify your withdrawal through email verification. even dough they got your password on your Binance it still needs your authenticator 🤔

There is nothing anybody here can do to recover your funds. The transaction has almost 4000 confirmations at time of writing and is therefore final and irreversible. You funds are lost, I'm afraid. You can considering opening a police report or similar, but the chances of them being able to do anything useful is incredibly slim.

Since you did not make this transaction then it means your Binance account has been compromised. All you can do now is secure your accounts to ensure this doesn't happen again, or happen to other funds/wallets/accounts you have. You should reset the password on your Binance account and the email account associated with it. You would also do well to enable 2FA on both Binance and your email, as well as any other online exchange accounts or web wallets, to prevent this from happening again in the future. If the password you used on Binance or your email is the same password you used anywhere else, you should change them all. You should also do some thorough scans of your system to see if you are infected with a keylogger or other malware.
