***My Bitstamp account was professionally hacked!***

***I am writing today to seek help and to warn other people in the community. After 1 year in the crypto space, I had the first terrible crypto experience, and I am feeling left alone especially from Bitstamp.***

***On the 19th of January (5 days ago) at 8.50 am somebody broke into my account. At 9:10am all assets have been converted into BTC and the BTC amount sent from this BTC transaction: fb1574e25fb9f22c973baa65b25c7950d8b9108bcc851144b9c7047156f97889***

***To this bitcoin address: 14M5yo1yDpVoEdmzZukRZibKrjuNUjzUki***

***I am using 2FA, the 2FA key is safely stored offline. My phone was next to me on my desk. I am sitting alone in my office, and I changed my password one week ago and that can be seen in my activity history. I never tell anybody my password.***

***There are also no malwares on my phone. It has been checked by two technicians. Also, I have antivirus installed on my phone and I pay for it every month.***

***How is it possible that the hacker had made a withdrawal and that email was confirmed but I didn’t get any e-mail about this transaction, why is that so?***

***A few key facts:***

***1.*** ***2FA Password was only stored physically on my phone.***

***2.*** ***How somebody can disable my 2FA without any info.***

***3.*** ***Bitstamp password is only in my head***

***4.*** ***No Emails received to authorize transactions***

***5.*** ***No malwares on my phone***

***6.*** ***My phone was next to me all the time***

***7.*** ***I have never used my 2FA password in public***

***8.*** ***I froze my account immediately when I realized that I couldn’t log in.***

***Account was frozen 5 minutes later from Bitstamp.***

***9.*** ***My e-mail wasn’t hacked. It is without leaks.***

***10.*** ***I didn’t get any quality reply from Bitstamp.***

***I have no other explanation besides an unsafe system at Bitstamp.***

***The IP who was taking the action was not mine but this: IP: 98.159.226.241.***

***Police have been informed.***

***If you know how I can get my money back, please help.***

***Bitstamp is no longer replying to my emails since 3 days ago.***

    Oh, here you can answer where everybody can see it? Why your company didn’t answer to this guy when he send you an e mail?

    I tried to withdraw 8.2eth from my bitstamp account to deposit them in another platform Celsius. However after checking the Etherscan for detailed status, it was found there is a kind of “intermediary Bitstamp 2 address” receiving the 8.2eth instead.pls return my ETH!
