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

You probably won't get your money back, though you still should try, but what you can do is make a detailed report about what lead to your misfortune so others can learn from your mistake. Do you have any idea how exactly hacker stole your funds? Was your password weak, did they reset the password by taking over your email, did you reuse your password on other sites, do you have any malware on your machine, did you click on a phishing version of the site?
