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 I have withdrawn (for the seventh time) to my BTC wallet.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.
Absolutely, there is nothing you can do if your money is being stolen here. We are in a digital world and we are earning and using digital money, one single mistake, you can lose all of your money. That is why we should study and think twice before making any decisions. You should be well informed before investing or buying tokens for you to secure your money, so that you can reach your goal being involved with crypto and that is to earn money.
In my opinion, your bitcoin's amount have been stolen because your private key was not secured well and unfortunately, you have nothing to do, it is impossible to recover your funds. Accept this loss and deal with it, complaining and crying will change nothing, try to find a way to earn BTC, there are many opportunities, just use your mind smartly. Remember that security is essential in order to make your wallet safe without it you will get stolen again.
This might help. Try to secure important information that includes your wallet information. And do not share that information to anyone. Do not trust anybody. There are actually lots of ways to secure your account. That should be a lesson to you that you should be careful in every move or decision you make.
