9.17 bitcoin wre hacked from my account at CEX.IO on 5-Jan-2014. I have filed a complaint with the FBI and with the London metropolitan police (CEX.IO is located in the UK). But I don't expect much because my loss is not large.

Therefore, I seek a hacking investigator to help me retrieve the coins.
 
Slim chance you will get it back. Can you tell us what security you used? Did you have 2fa? Strong password?
 
Just a guess here, maybe your PC got hacked and your keystroke are being monitored (now), or you gave up your passwords to a MITM spoof website.

Is the rest of your home network secure? Better check all that out 1st and resolve it, then change all your passwords (after your PC is 100% secure)!

If that was the case (hacked), you my have other security issues and accounts with compromised passwords to worry about other than just those bitcoins.

Good luck.

That is heart breaking.. So sorry !!
 
Had a friend lose 5 coins a while back since his android somehow became 'rooted' and blockchain.info couldn't retrieve them. https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/ offers some cheap and simple ways for the less savvy to have relatively secure offline wallet(s).
 
I don't trust doing anything over my phone ... For years, people have been able to hack into telephones to get credit card info. if you're ordering something on amazon, etc. Hacking cell phones is elementary for many criminals.

My first question was tracing the transaction ID, because that would lead to a location of the wallet .... the exchange for it; than an account identification. This happened on January 5th, which sux because that btc has been shifted probably numerous times.. but if the hack is caught quickly; I would think it could be reversed.

I have all withdrawals verified through my e mail address... And my e mail log in requires an authentication where I receive a text message from google with a unique number, and I must have that to log into e mail. So hackers would have to have all my crypto info. and my cell phone in their hands to withdraw anything.
 
This sux man.

There is not going to be much you can do here, unless you can prove who stole it and take them to court, and you will not likely be able to find them.

Everyone reading this should take note:

1 Always use complex and unique, password/username for every site.

2 Always use 2 factor authentication when possible, practice with it while your account is empty, and get comfortable with it.

3 Do not let funds sit in a 3rd party wallet for no reason, when you are done return funds to your own wallet.

4 If you don't have the wallet dat file, its not your wallet.

No, there is no reversing a BTC transaction, and I think it would be near impossible to even follow the cash to an exchange let alone.

One of the things about BTC is the payments cannot be stopped by any government or other central authority, and addresses are very hard to link to an individual. It is the whole with liberty comes responsibility thing. It is a very free currency, but if you are holding anything significant, you really need to make sure your security is on the up & up.
 
Using the bitcoin blockchain I traced the stolen coins to coinbase.com. I thought good news for coinbase will know the hackers identity and perhaps they would share that info. They will but with a court ordered subpoena. I am an american citizen living in Greece, so how do I go about getting a court ordered subpoena?

Have you talked to coinbase? Provide as much info as you can and they might help you out.
