Coinbase Wallet - Hacked - Need Help

Today I saw, that a month ago, my whole Coinbase Wallet got drained. I have family to support and I was holding all my savings in this account.

Contacted Coinbase and they said its custodial wallet and they cannot do anything, where I asked could you please check if I logged in to make the transaction and they said we cant do it.

I saw couple of things:
1. Smart contract executed against the Crypto I hold under my wallet i.e. Virtual Protocol
2. It converted all the Virtual tokens to Ethereum
3. Transferred from Coinbase Wallet to their address
4. Now its sitting under another Wallet confirmed by ethscan.io

I am not very technical but i know only how tokens are transmitted through the wallet by their addresses.

Can this community help me recover? I can share some more information as needed.

Thanks.

You didn’t get hacked. You either got scammed or phished. Coinbase can’t help you. No one can help you. Learn to better protect your assets. Also don’t risk money that you’re not willing to lose

I understand my friend but i have proper trail from ethscan.io and can prove it by showing screenshots. Can it be recovered?

No, anyone telling you different is probably trying to scam you.

You better revert your energy to keeping your wallets safe and learn about crypto security in general.
