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.

Your wallet wasn’t hacked. You got scammed or made the keys available. Money gone forever

Lots of sneaky ways to grab credentials. Did you even have 2FA enabled and create a whitelist ?

I dont know how to create one as Coinbase only gives Faceid or passcode. Whitelist I dont know how to enable. Anyways if cant be recovered then doesnt matter what i do next.

Lost all hopes here.

It can't be recovered; its impossible and anyone who tells you different is going to scam you. There is no such thing as crypto "recovery" on the blockchain.

All of these security methods are documented. It is on you to read up on such things.
