Ask HN: Lost $10000 as my email was hacked. Any ways to recover it?
I have suffered a loss of $10k due to an extremely unbelievable case of my client's as well as my own email domain was hacked. –---- So, I run a very small pharma export company in India. I have a client in Ontario, Canada with whom I have been doing regular business. 2 weeks ago I got an order worth $10000 from them. So as usual I dispatched the material to them and then raised the invoice with my bank details from my email address called "abcde@mydomain .com". Now on the next day my client received an email from "abicde@mydomain.com" stating that there is a change in invoice and revised invoice is again sent which had bank account details of a UK bank account. Now an email like "abicde@mydomain.com" doesn't exist at all. My client asked me for a confirmation email again but this email never reached me. So the client made the payment and the money is already deducted from his account. Also, what makes this even more strange is that I received a fake email from my client's company with 3-4 times about not asking for payment as it will be delayed. I got this email from an email address like "klye@clientdomain.com" instead of "kyle@clientdomain.com". Now $10000 in an extremely huge amount for survival of my company. I want to know what are my options and is there any way of recovering it.
