Help me guys, what do I do now? Obviously my accounts are locked, I've filed a police report but what do I need the exchanges to do to help me recover funds if possible.
Story:
I always though it could never happen to me, I'm too smart for that I thought. But this morning, I got phished.
I'd received a convincing looking email over night from Google saying a recovery email had been added to my account. This got me worried, so I investigated. I followed the link in the email (I know, what an idiot!) - I thought it was OK because it was an official google email and a google link.
I had to then login with user/pass and 2FA and thought nothing of it because it was Google.
This is when everything went wrong and fast. It was Google Sites, a service where people can create their own webpages, I just entered my login details and 2FA into a convincing fake Google page hosted on Google.
Everything was backed up on my Google, my Authenticator Codes, Passwords in Google Password manager. The hackers quickly figured I had a Kraken and Coinbase accounts, got the password, logged in and drained it all. They added new withdrawal addresses and confirmed them via my email and they had the 2FA from the google account. The exchanges put up no resistance, not even bothered a new IP is draining all my funds to new withdrawal addresses.
Yes, I'm an idiot for keeping my money on an exchanges and backing up everything on Google! Helpful advice for what I can do now is appreciated.
