Really sorry this happened to you. The account getting hacked while you were mid-transaction is the worst possible timing — P2P escrow only protects you if both the escrow and your account remain intact.
One thing that trips people up with HodlHodl and similar P2P platforms: reputation scores are backward-looking. A counterparty with 50 successful trades can still be running a long game. The reputation tells you what they did, not what they'll do.
For anyone doing significant P2P trades, a few things that reduce risk: use a dedicated device for the platform (reduces session hijack surface), enable every 2FA option available (not just SMS — TOTP or hardware key), and never leave the escrow page during a live trade. Some attacks depend on you navigating away so the session can be intercepted.
None of this helps after the fact, and I don't want to sound like I'm blaming you — session hijacks can happen to anyone. Hope you can recover access through support eventually.
