Sorry to hear about your miss fortune.
When you said you have been hacked, what do you mean? Very few people are hacked, it’s often they have been careless with their password or kept a default password or something as simple as using a very simple password that can be found on their social media posts etc. Hacking is not as easy as people think it is.

Hacking is quite common in crypto and you can easily google to see that two major hacks have occurred in the last few weeks. Please, with all due respect, just BUY MY STUFF! lol  :lol:

For those who might be interested in such things, this site chronicles the recurring ills with crypto and web3 in general:

Still would not call anything I have read so far a hack, more of an exploit.

Sorry to hear of your plight, I have no interest in your offerings. I always viewed crypto as a Ponzi scheme and have no interest in that investment as well. Blessings and best wishes to you.

Semantics. A loss is a loss in investing but to be robbed is unacceptable.

Yes a loss is a loss. Not saying it's not.

If you left your house locked but you put your front door key under your front door matt of you left your ground floor window open and you got burgled, would you call that a break-in?

Yes.

Try telling your insurance company that.

Sorry to take this thread further off topic but.....
In my state the justification to confront and take that burglar out would be called the Castle Doctrine and one I would invoke.

Which Insurance Would Protect Me in this Scenario?
Fortunately your homeowners insurance policy would protect you in the event of a burglary, regardless of whether your door was locked or not.

Various insurance companies under various state laws may differ on civil penalties and insurance requirements, but here's a pretty good general rule of thumb for whether someone has committed the crime of B&E:
