Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney claim that pump-and-dump schemes are extraordinarily common in the crypto market, with 15% of all cryptocurrencies experiencing regular pump and dumps.
Somehow we are not surprised.

Somehow I had all the bitcoin in my wallet sent (2 separate transactions) to unknown wallets yesterday afternoon. This all happens without 2-factor authorization or an email receipt (both of which are settings I have turned on)
I have the transactions in my history, so I can trace on the Blockchain.
Am I completely screwed, or is there anything I can do?
I haven’t had any visible security breaches, but obviously have been hacked. I am especially troubled by the lack of effectiveness of the 2FA and the lack of any email receipt. The transaction took place at 3pm yesterday, and I discovered it this morning only by logging into my account and seeing a 0.0 balance
I realize I’m in a very bad situation, so any thoughts/help would be very much appreciated.
I have reached out to Blockchain support, but I’m not sure how responsive they are (no phone number).
The insanity, for reference.

It's because there's been 0 moderation in the last month. I'd like to show support & thanks for u/bitcoinxio, who's proven he knows how to manage the sub effectively over the last 5 years, so he may moderate without obstruction
