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.

Since Bitcoin doesn't have any company or any group who controls then it is up to to take care of your own funds. Besides the address where you can tract your funds from where it is stolen, you have nothing to do else with it.

This is not entirely true, because OP's bitcoins was stored on a centralized exchange and they have some remedial actions that can be taken if someone lose a lot of coins.

We always say, If you do not have full control over your private key, then those coins are not your property. In this instance the exchange have full control over the private key and once it was withdrawn to another address, then it is gone.  Roll Eyes
