Hello fellow bitcoiners I have recently had my account at an exchange compromised and am out to the tune of tens of thousands. Harsh day to be sure. I realize there is little hope of ever seeing that money again but I would like to investigate this as far as I can. I have the bitcoin address the funds have moved to as well as several IP addresses that were used to carry out the attack. If anyone thinks they can help please message me.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. You see, addresses doesn't have a name attached to it so it's unlikely that you can recover your funds as transactions are irreversible. As others have pointed out, this is a hard and expensive lessons to learn.

I have changed relevant account information and contacted the exchange. Any suggestions of next steps would be appreciated.

Try to scan your machine of any malware, enable 2FA if possible in your accounts in the future. Don't put all your money in an exchange, just like what happen to you or in cases a exchange get's hack your funds will be all gone as well.
