He probably installed malware which stole his private keys and uploaded it to someone who withdrew coins from the keys. I seriously doubt he would be able to recover the coins.
I wonder what would happen if the person who stole the coins came forward and gave them back. Would your friend still give him 1 btc for recovering them? (it's not me btw but I was just wondering)
Do you mean the hacker installed malware to steal the private keys. but my friend has set password for private keys.I wonder what would happen if the person who stole the coins came forward and gave them back.

anyway, 1 btc for recovering coins still.
The attacker may have installed a key stroke logger. He would then just need to wait until the password was entered and he would have your wallet and password.
It has been happening a lot lately it seems.
M$ windows is terrible in terms of security - strongly suggest he uses Ubuntu or another flavour of Linux and does not download and install software he does not trust.
my friend say that he didn't send out any coin almost half an year, but only withdraws litecoins from exchange a few days ago. it's strange ,only wallet address for withdrawing from exchange lost money, other wallet has not.
he has put the private key in computer, i think hacker has stolen the private, but the private key has set password, hacker should has not get the password.
could the key stroke logger get the password half an year ago?
