There's nothing you can do about any stolen bitcoin. This is the reality of the absence of authority taking charge. Security is one of the issues that blockchain developers need to resolve as soon as possible. Hackers are taking advantage of decentralization and anonymity of the bitcoin environment.

It is a very sad thing that your bitcoin was stolen. In that case no one should be blame except you because you are the one who knows the security of your wallet. Its your mistakes, you cannpt complain with others, its not a bank that you can complain if you loose your money. You must aware that in crypto you must take a risk.

There is no assurance in this thats the risk you have to face when in this business or making investments its advised that we should be very careful when making transactions online if you lose your bitcoin there is no refund and nobody to help or assist you on it
Bitcoin is not controlled by any centralized authority and no one has control over it. If your funds are hacked or if you send the money to wrong address, there is no one whom you can ask for help and you cannot claim your money back. This is one drawback of digital currency. Many online frauds are also being done through digital currencies because the cheaters know that they cannot be caught if they stole or hack the digital currency.

Bitcoin is a decentralized virtual currency that doesn't have any regulatory body regulating it's activities.
So I do not think there are measures in place to recovering stolen funds.
As a matter of fact, once your bitcoin is stolen....count it all loss forever.

Bitcoin is not the same with PayPal or Payza e currency transaction, after you lost your bitcoin you can complain and never could take back your bitcoin, but PayPal it available by using take back our money.

when your bitcoin is stolen it is very clear that maybe it happened because of your own mistakes that cannot provide very high security for the wallet that you have so that your assets are stolen, whereas for complaints you will never be able to complain to anyone because nobody gives guarantee of assets that you have in cryptocurrency.

Well unfortunately no one can help you to get your funds back or you can not report this to anyone. Charge to the experience add more security on your account like 2fa and i don't recommend storing huge amount of BTC on your exchange's wallet since this is decentralized and you will never know there might be inside job's on the missing assets.

Hi Friends, actually one of my BTC address from Zebpay account having almost 0.01550 BTC has been hacked and the amount has been stolen just few days ago. The amount was not quite big for me, but i really fear about the security of holding the BTC in exchanges and now even in wallets.
I Just want to know is there any ways i can get back my BTC back to my account and also is there any website or authority who can help me out in getting back my stolen BTC, let me know about it. Also let me know what safety measurement should i take while holding my BTC in Exchanges. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can don something about it. If your balance is already empty, then the hacker maybe already sent your coin to their wallet.
If you using exchange wallet, you should have 2fa protection to avoid withdrawal by non-authorize peoples if they hacked your account.

I'm afraid that no one could help you out. In a certain thing that your account have been hack by other person and take control on it, it surely your money will loss forever.
And you can't track them either cause we don't know it's identity. All you have to do now is to move on and take good care of your wallet keys so it won't be happen to again and even to us.

no one can help you return your lost funds, this is a very high-risk investment, no related party can be held accountable.

Hm unfortunately there is no much you can do. Many people had their accounts hacked and sometimes people lost their assets directly on world-wide knows exchanges. Crypto is not recognized everywhere so there is no institution where you can complain for the loss.

Is there any website where can i complain or who can help in getting back my BTC.
If that's an exchange wallet you can try to contact their support. Maybe they can help by telling what happened, but I don't think they can give back your coins. Always remember that hot wallets or online wallets are not safe. Better invest in a hard wallet. I think they are cheaper nowadays. Old models still work quite well.

Never could we do after your bitcoin has been stolen because we do not know how to complain and take back our balance,
Of course you can do something . you can make a scam accuse thread on this forum or on this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 . as long as you have all the evidence and the exact details from your transaction , your thread can gain supoort from the users here . they may even help you recover your coins if ever you are too lucky enough .
you have focus and make new account and always added new security at your wallet.
Theres no need to create a new account . what you must do is enable the 2fa and otp or any other extra security add ons and make sure to bookmark only the official url of your wallet if you are using an online one . last tip , always double check on what you are copying and pasting to ensure that it is the correct wallet addresses .

I'm sorry this happened to you but I don't think you can get it back. 
Always be careful.
Always be careful.

can not appeal to anyone, because when you submit a refund to the wallet, definitely will not get it instead. this is what is still weak from the crypto industry, which is that protection against users is not high enough against theft.

bitcoin is anti state, dont expect to get state/bank funded police to protect you

There is nothing you can do when your wallet has been hacked by hackers, and BTC has been sent to another wallet
for my advice, if you want to save BTC, make sure you adjust it to your abilities
if you can save your own bitcoin, and believe in your ability to hide your private key and password, it is highly recommended to save it in your personal wallet
but you don't feel confident, so you can use wallet exchange as an alternative in saving BTC
