You can track it, but it's very difficult to get it back. The best way after the hacked, you should create a new wallet and change the password, move all assett to the new wallet.
Hi,
I see a lot of people being hacked or lost money.
I know a transaction is final but can you track them to a exchange?
So you can call the exchange and ask them to hold the wallet or something?
Or can you track them another way?
I hope there will be a good solution for this in crypto.

There is a possibility that you will able to track it to an exchange.
However, the probability of an exchange ever helping you to actually get the coins back in my opinion is pretty low. They have the responsibility to protect their customer's privacy no matter what, even if they are alleged to be a hacker. Of course, if the case is big enough and enough people are affected, exchanges may be forced into cooperating by authorities.
But as you said, all transactions are final on a decentralized blockchain. Prevention is better than a cure, because there is no guarantees that you'll ever be able to recoup your coins on a certain blockchain. Having sufficient security in your coin storage will prevent most hacks.
first of all, you should learn a lesson from this situation. What could I do next time for it does not happen again? and to return money you can try to contact the support service or the police. good luck to you
In my own personal opinion, i know it is very painful to us that we have been hacked or scammed because we take a lot of time working and expecting to earn a big profit, but honestly we cannot get back the money that they have stole because scammers and hackers is hard to track. All we can do is accept it and be more careful next time.
After being hacked I can’t track them to an exchange or another way. So I think prevention is the best policy to protect crypto.
Why? The main advantage of cryptos that you can sell all transactions, so you can write to the admins of exchange your stolen funds were sent and they can frozen the account of hacker. After being hacked I can’t track them to an exchange or another way. So I think prevention is the best policy to protect crypto.
Basically you can't because some exchange sites are giving the ability to the users to generate new address anytime and it can be changed by the hacker as they want to change it. The best thing to give the more knowledge to the people or newcomers without any knowledge never try to join in any suspicious link or interested to click the suspicious link.

You cannot do anything. even if you managed to find the exchange address of hacker, you cannot just ask the information about hackers profile to exchange staff.
it could be just any peoples who wants to steal the identity data of peoples on exchange.
what you can do is learning what can you do to prevent his happening again.

You can track them in some ways but no other way to get it back. It happen to me before. As much I want to take revenge, I can't do it since I believe it was partially my fault. What can we do is just to move on and make sure it won't happen again. Being cautious is a must.
This is very painful situation in this crypto currency online business. But we will not get stop on this because it is a matter of learning of what went wrong that we get hacked. So we must be vigilant always inorder to avoid to happened it again. Just move on and be more intelligent in this crypto business.
Take yourself in hand, do not have to grieve and move on, as robbers wish you success,because the karma is in any case will come to avenge you and the other disgruntled users. Now it is almost impossible to return the stolen, but I hope in the near future there will be such an opportunity for all.
Its easy to track where your fund was transferred to on the blockchain but its not possible to get it back because transactions can never be reversed. Once the fund has been transferred to the hacker account then its difficult to get the fund back.
You can create a new account and try to write to the administrator with the request to return access to the account and explain the reasons why your account has been blocked a lot of people do that.
I think it is very difficult to recover the loss after being attacked by a hacker. I think what you need to do is to make good defensive measures to prevent the next hacker attack, and to ensure the security is necessary.
I also hope that we can do something if ever our account is hacked. We are spending so much of our time in cryptocurrency. It's almost everyday that we check the status of our investment. Then suddenly it will just disappear. I wish there's some form of strict security that we can lean on.

In my previous case, I can see wallet address where my coins was transferred. I am using MEW that time and I got my bounty reward. So, when the bounty reward entered my wallet, it was immediately transferred to another mew address. For that, I cannot track who it is or even in the market. When you got hacked in crypto, it is like saying goodbye. I see a lot of people being hacked or lost money.

Obviously starting again from zero or from what hacker left for you; the good fact in you should denonce the method of hack attempt in every possible social media crypto-oriented and to try tracking the address received your funds (great possibility to find it when search the web if the hacker is a noob) that in general hackers can't succeed if you don't make mistakes. Finally, warn everybody about what happened with you that others may take caution besides some habits they used to do. The bitcoin forum may provide a lot of help. Be careful !!

That's right. You cannot do anything about it. Because it is irreversible and immutable. The only thing you can do is protect your own. As much as possible, put 2FA in your account so that it is more secure. And always have your private keys safe.
Nothing is there only to worry and sit just holding your head it is only our fault that we do not make our valet secure and full proof against hacked or to be lost our coins in system that is another way of hacking so i think security of valet is the only solution so be sure about it.
Obviously, you can start all over again. Sorry for your loss sir but this is a big lesson for all the people in the world of cryptocurrency. We must be responsible for our confidential information such as private keys, passwords and anything that could provide access to certain accounts. Once we are hacked and our funds are being stolen we are lucky if it has security system that can block any access to the account without the permission like 2FA, email verification or password but some of it doesn't have. If our wallet was hacked we can track the process by the txhash or transaction hash where you can see all the information of both the receiver and sender and once it is approved to be sent we have nothing to do with it not like social media account or ICO website account that has recovery options.
I think it's a good idea, but in my experience it's useless. because I can not find out more with the hacker's exchange address.
I have experienced hacking cases (due to my carelessness) after I searched each address and ended up in exchange. and that's the problem even we can never know the exchange that the hacker uses.
