# If Lost or Hacked

It is only a matter of time before you eventually get hacked. The general idea is this. 

### Stop Loss First

Stop loss is about limiting your loss. It can be broken down to at least two phases.

* Act immediately! If you see hackers are transferring your assets, think no more. Just Hurry up and transfer the remaining assets to a safe place. Depending on the type of asset, if you can freeze your assets on the blockchain, do it as soon as possible. 
* If you can do on-chain analysis and find your assets are transferred into a centralized exchange, you can contact their risk control department.
* Once the situation is stabilized, your focus should be on making sure there would not be secondary or tertiary attacks.
