A hacker stole my MetaMask coins and money, how can I recover my funds?

Because blockchain technology is autonomous, it is hard to get back money that was stolen from your MetaMask wallet.

Transactions on the blockchain can't be undone, which means that lost assets are almost impossible to get back. You can, however, take steps to lower the risks even more and report the event.

Before you do anything else, move any money that's still in your wallet right away to a safe, empty wallet with a new Secret Recovery Phrase.

Hackers may still be able to get into your wallet if you use it again. For extra protection on platforms that are connected, use two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever you can.

Please report the theft to MetaMask's support team at https://support.metamask.io and include information about the transaction, such as your wallet address and the transaction number that can be seen on Etherscan.
