MT. GOX

DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"Somehow my Mt. Gox account got hacked into."

"They withdrew 10 BTC and then 10.88 BTC via IP 180.124.44.20 (China)"

"Is there anything I can do??"

"[Y]ou should know how btc works, right? there's nothing you can do, I'm sorry."

In July 2013, a Mt. Gox user had their account hacked and lost a small sum. There was no recovery possible.

HOW COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED?

The most common threat to accounts is password reuse, or entering the password in a phishing website. Be sure to set unique and secure passwords.
