      Getting hacked is such a very disappointing experience. Your experience of yours serves a lesson not just for you but for us here on this forum. More often investors fail to protect their account because most of them do not know how to erase their footprints online. Being cautious at all times when we access our Bitcoin wallet significantly increases the safety of our account. The recovery of your Bitcoin is hardly impossible. However, you can report the incident to your Bitcoin wallet provider. They might ask you for some details, but there's no guarantee that you'll recover your funds.

      Bitcoin hacking is one of the scariest things online. Once your Bitcoin got hacked, there's no way you could recover them.

      If the hacker moves your BTC to an exchange for cashing out then there is a chance to get it back (not via bitcoin protocol but via police / legal action)

      It could be, but it takes time to trace the transaction. The cyber crime security officer should be the one to handle the case.

      Even if we possibly trace the transaction of the hacker, it would be impossible for us to penalize that person.

      The only thing you can do is to report the incident to the higher authorities. You might not recover the money, but most importantly you get the culprit arrested.

      I don't think it would be easy to pinpoint the person exactly. As far as I know, we can only know about the IP address which can give us a location but not an identity.

      If your coins get stolen, it is often difficult to retrieve it. I believe most cases of stolen Bitcoins were closed without the coins being retrieved.
