While the attacker moved quickly to launder the stolen funds, partial recovery may have been possible if the incident had been reported immediately.

If you observe any suspicious activity on your wallet, report it as soon as possible to blockchain investigators or security professionals

A common mistake is contacting law enforcement first instead of investigators, in most cases, it's zero at least for that period

Stay smart.
