Kraken phishing

XRP Community,

 

Need some help.  I have a buddy that just lost 30k XRP tokens on Kraken.  He had the google authentication and everything.  Received an email from Kraken saying it was part of  a phishing scam.

Is there anything he can do?  Anyone he can contact?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

He should report it to police for investigations

From the OP I understand that the friend fell victim to a phishing scam. If that is the case, then I suppose that Kraken was not hacked? If that is correct, then OP may want to adjust the title of this thread.

Filing a police report providing as many details as possible would be a good start. It is doubtful that Kraken will be able to repossess the tokens. They may be helpful in tracing the transaction(s), as well as providing logging details if asked so by investigating authorities.

Well, you need to provide more details as to how it happened? Depending on the case, your friend might be able to legally recover part/all of his loss, but it's too hard to tell from this description.

Did he get an e-mail from a phishing site that pretended to be Kraken?

Please change the title, Kraken was NOT hacked, this is the way false rumors start and cause panic reactions.
