This is one of the main reasons I don't like crypto. If you get hacked, even if you did everything right, then you're out of luck. The funds are (generally) unrecoverable.

With my bank, I've been able to recover several thousand after a thief was able to bypass the 2FA app used to verify large transfers. (I still don't know how they were able to bypass the verification, and after investigating our bank never told us. Not sure that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, but at least I was made whole with minimal fuss.)
