My Coinbase was hacked and sent $11,000 of Bitcoin Cash to 2 separate unknown wallets. I desperately need help.

Yesterday morning I noticed several unusual things happening. My chase fraud alert went off and they canceled my credit card. My Facebook was logged into from an unknown location. My Gmail was hacked and I started to receive hundreds of spam emails… I logged into my Coinbase account to check on it, change passwords, etc. And immediately when logging in i saw my coins which at the time were primarily in MANA and LINK convert to Bitcoin Cash. When I went to click on the Bitcoin Cash wallet the funds were already sent to 2 separate outside wallets and my account was completely drained.

I have the transaction ID and the wallet IDs where it was initially sent. But I understand those coins are likely long gone to other wallets.

I contacted local police to file a theft report. I sent an urgent email to coinbase and suspended my Coinbase account temporarily. I contacted a lawyer specialized in Identity Theft, I contacted an organization called Coinfirm where I logged a detailed report, and I've contacted my local branch of the FBI to look into identity theft.

I'm so worried that I'll never recoup that money lost and I'm even more worried to touch anything that's connected to my Wi-Fi network or devices that are connected to anything financial.

Any advice on what else I can do would mean everything to me. Thank you.
