In the past few days, the exchange's bybit cold wallet was stolen by North Korean hackers. Yesterday, Web3 Yu'ebao Infini was stolen again. The incidents of coin theft have occurred one after another Many investors in the currency circle are very worried about the security of crypto assets. The currency circle is a high-risk and high-return industry. As an ordinary currency circle investor, how can he recover his losses if he encounters crypto assets stolen?

Tracking and tracing the flow of stolen funds on the chain

1. Position the cause of stolen funds and The remaining assets are quickly transferred

After discovering that the crypto assets were stolen, the first thing to do is to locate the stolen is because the mnemonic private key is leaked from the Internet and the use of a fake phishing wallet Or are common methods of stealing coins such as clicking on phishing links.

Inventory assets on the chain and quickly transfer large assets to the wallet address in the security device. If you are not prepared, you can prioritize recharging them back into the exchange account.

After all, the technical capabilities of the large exchange security team are still trustworthy. As long as the user keeps his account password and sets Google verification, he can avoid many risks. Even if there are security incidents such as bybit, the risk resistance of large exchanges is much stronger than that of individuals. Users become creditors of the exchange. As long as the exchange is not run and closed down, they can slowly make up for asset loopholes in the stolen coins by earning handling fees.

So my personal opinion: For ordinary investors in the currency circle, storing it in a leading exchange is the best way to store crypto assets.

2. Collect the stolen capital link

The flow of assets on the chain can be clearly checked The technical characteristics of blockchain, so after crypto assets are stolen, you can track the subsequent flow of stolen crypto assets through the blockchain browser and other on-chain data analysis tools, so that the stolen address can be sorted out. Fund link map at the starting point. The link map can be used as clues for subsequent reporting of cases and handed over to law enforcement to assist in investigating and investigating certificates.

3. Request the exchange to temporarily control the risk control to freeze the stolen assets

stolen funds are The subsequent on-chain transfer may be charged to the centralized exchange account.You can contact the exchange customer service or a major account manager to freeze the risk control and freeze the incoming account.

But this method is only a temporary measure that can delay the transfer of stolen funds. In order to get rid of the loss through freezing, the public security still needs to send the freezing investigation document to the exchange after filing a case.

Check the police to file a case and request law enforcement assistance

1. If you encounter a case of currency theft, do you not call the police? The stolen assets will definitely be recovered, but it will be difficult to recover without calling the police.

Because the exchange does not have the right to dispose of crypto assets in user accounts at will, only after the law enforcement sends the freeze-collision investigation documents to the exchange according to relevant laws and regulations, the transaction will be Only then can the account involved in the case be frozen and the assets of the users involved are allocated according to the court's judgment document.

So the key to regaining losses is to call the police and file a case, request law enforcement and coordinate with the exchange to cooperate with the investigation.

2. When encountering criminal cases involving currency, there are often problems of difficulty in filing a case. Choosing appropriate jurisdiction and sufficient criminal accusation materials is a decision to determine whether it can be done. The key to success.

Crime-related cases will have different internal internal areas, and the jurisdiction of cybercrime is relatively broad, so it is necessary to choose appropriate jurisdiction to file a case according to the case situation.

In addition, many police officers in the police in handling cases have different understandings and investigation techniques for currency-related cases. They need to prepare criminal complaints and retrieve them before reporting the case. Similar cases, on-chain fund link map and other reporting materials.

What should the police do if they do not file a case?

In judicial practice, the victim is in criminal cases involving currency During the case complaint and reporting, the police will often be warned by the police that the virtual currency is illegal and unprotected, and even the illegal currency speculation is illegal and other words to persuade them to withdraw.

The normal process is that the police on duty prepare a "Inquiry Record" for the accuser after receiving the alarm. If you need to submit the report materials, the accuser will sign and submit it, and sign the "Evidence Material Receipt" one".

The Public Security Council issues a "Case Receipt". The written "Case Receipt" is a certificate for the public security to formally accept the case and is also the basis for the accuser to subsequently claim rights.according to.

The law stipulates that the period for criminal case filing and review of public security shall not exceed 3 days in principle; if suspected criminal clues need to be verified, the period for filing and review shall not exceed 7 days; major and complicated problems shall not exceed 7 days. The case can be extended to 30 days with the approval of the public security officer at or above the county level.

When the review period is obtained, if the "Notice of Filing" is obtained, it will prove that the filing is successful. The public security may issue relevant freeze-related investigation documents to the centralized exchange or institution. , freeze the accounts in which the stolen crypto assets flow into, arrest the suspects, and protect their rights and losses through subsequent legal procedures.

If you receive the "Notice of Non-Filing", you can review and review with the public security, or apply for case filing supervision from the procuratorate, and strive to file a case through these relief channels.

In judicial practice, the accusation of criminal cases of currency theft and fraud is relatively difficult, and various obstacles may be encountered. For ordinary investors in the currency circle, if they encounter similar cases, it is recommended to consult a security company or a professional lawyer, and then listen to opinions from multiple parties to advance.

In addition, there are currently various crypto asset recovery teams on the market, and investors should be cautious in identifying them. Don’t be greedy for small gains and be cheated again.
