Exchange Hack Victim Recovery
When a client's exchange account was compromised through a sophisticated phishing attack, we worked to identify the withdrawal pattern and coordinate with receiving exchanges to recover a substantial portion of the stolen funds.
The Challenge
An individual investor had their exchange account compromised through a sophisticated phishing attack that bypassed 2FA. The attacker quickly withdrew approximately $175,000 in various cryptocurrencies to multiple external wallets.
Our Solution
Our team immediately analyzed withdrawal patterns and identified several destination exchanges where portions of the stolen funds were sent. We prepared comprehensive forensic reports and worked directly with the legal departments of these exchanges to demonstrate the fraudulent origin of the funds.
The Result
Through persistent coordination with three different exchanges and law enforcement, we were able to freeze and recover approximately 65% of the stolen assets. We also helped the client implement a hardware wallet solution with enhanced security protocols to prevent future compromises.
"After my exchange account was hacked despite having 2FA enabled, I was devastated watching my crypto being withdrawn to unknown wallets. RankedSafe's team quickly traced where the assets were going and worked directly with those exchanges. I was shocked when they told me they'd recovered more than half of what was stolen – I had assumed it was all lost forever."
