Kraken phishing

[CoachOgden08]

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.

Nope.  He should have kept it on a nano

He should report it to police for investigations

So they got hold of his login information? How, did he open the site via a scamming email? 

Or via an app on his phone or something?

This is why you don’t store coins on an exchange, ever.

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?

[Eek_the_dog]

If he had a master key and enabled his global settings, this could not happen. 

 

But I am far from an expert. Curious though. I use Kraken myself.

He got phished. It's his fault. Reckless. Nothing he can do, it's not multi millions where FBI would track it and etc. He just learned it the hard way. And it's not even Krakens fault. Phishing is the #1 to steal crypto

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

[tony71]

The dude didn't give the whole story and wants to blame Kraken??  His friend got phished and he fell for it.  He paid the price with his XRP.  The end.

dammmnnnnnnnn

also @karlos or somebody should change the post title since Kraken was not hacked.

Yes, misleading titles can cause trouble, when the exchange was in no way responsible.

It was a phising email...Just told me he clicked the link...sorry for freaking everyone out...Just sucks he lost all his XRP
