$1.5B stolen from Bybit and $49.5M from Infini just this week. Here's what you MUST do if your crypto gets stolen:
1. Document Everything
- Screenshot all suspicious transactions
- Note exact timestamps and wallet addresses
- Save all error messages and platform communications
2. Report Immediately
- Contact the exchange's support team
- File a report with blockchain security firms like CertiK or PeckShield
- Document your case number and all correspondence
3. Secure Your Remaining Assets
- Transfer funds to a different secure wallet
- Change ALL passwords and 2FA
- Revoke permissions for suspicious smart contracts
Pro Tips:
- Never keep large amounts on unverified exchanges - Bybit's cold wallet hack proves even "secure" storage can fail. Better use exchanges with third-party audits: Coinbase, WhiteBIT, or Bitget.
- Use hardware wallets and multi-sig setups
- Be extra cautious with private key management - Infini's hack happened due to admin key mishandling
