Immediate Steps After a Private Wallet Hack
1. Do NOT Panic – But Act Fast
Scammers move funds quickly. Every hour matters.
2. Document the Transaction Hash (TXID)

3. Revoke Any Malicious Approvals
If you signed a suspicious contract, use Revoke.cash (for EVM chains) or Sol Incinerator (for Solana) to revoke permissions.
4. Move Remaining Funds
If your wallet is still accessible, immediately transfer any leftover assets to a new wallet with a fresh seed phrase.

Do not threaten or negotiate – they will only demand more money.

A police report strengthens exchange freezing requests. File locally and with the FBI IC3 (ic3.gov).
