Hello,
I have a crisis! I have withdrawn (for the seventh time) to my BTC wallet.
After posting the funds (and obtaining two confirmations) - there was an outgoing transaction that was not authorized by me !! The transaction was released twenty minutes after the first confirmation - to some fresh address with no transaction history and is an RBF transaction. It's exactly a transaction at 0.4BTC.
My BTC address from which the funds were stolen: 1CCEQxuUkb6RKQM4TDYbQemBVs2ihe45ps
Address to which funds were sent:
3DTjnTxjPnePfvg3haTyUQQeFK2riuZ1Fr
Unauthorized transaction ID: 2f79dda8aea3f06400be07f04f65b6045ba2e0235efa0bba0f6d9d6375da421c
The transaction is marked as RBF!
I use client Electrum 3.3.8
There is no option for someone to steal a private key from your computer because I watch security all the time!
Is it going to somehow stop the flow of funds or recover them?
I am desperate because these funds were supposed to be for my mother's health.
Sorry for losing your funds to scammers. But unfortunately, nothing can be done about it again because the transaction has recorded some confirmations. Did you ever tried your private key on any DeX exchange? Or does anyone have access to it? On daily basis these hackers devise new techniques to hacking it's high time we stopped feeding.
1. Dont ever store your funds in an exchange.
2. Store your funds in secured wallets with extra 2FA
3. Do not share your private key with a second party and lots more. Its every ones responsibility to keep ones funds safe. Not your keys, not your bitcoin.
For those who have stolen funds, there is nothing you can do to regain it but there is something that you could change. You should find the lesson after you lose your money, you shouls now focus on protecting your funds. I'm using online bitcoin wallet and also a hardware wallet but most of my funds are in hardware wallet. I do not also store my funds in an exchange because it is risky due to the vulnerability to the hackers.
