i was using Storage X wallet and someone from them only done this hacking i lost 6000 USD 6 months ago

Mate, why are you using that wallet in the first place? I've been active in the bitcoin/cryptocurrency space for 5 years now and I've never heard of this wallet.

This-should-be-very-obvious-tip: always use reputable wallet software. The same reason why you probably wouldn't store your money on some bank that no one has ever heard of.




Hacker probably use mixers which make this job very complex to solve.
Have you read this chainanalysis report: DeFi Takes on Bigger Role in Money Laundering But Small Group of Centralized Services Still Dominate

Decentralized exchanges are more used for it recently, like all those ethereum based decentralized exchanges

Uh.. misquoted?

@Mk4 is right, some people just use any wallet they come across to store their assets, maybe they are not aware of using wallets with good reviews from users and something other people are familiar with, it will go to some extent to minimize loss because you are able to read the experience of other users.
It doesn't sound like the customer service of this wallet provider is active otherwise 6 months and still no good reply. Too bad.
