Hackers stole all the crypto in my metamask wallet | DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

Woke up this morning to find all the crypto in my MetaMask wallet missing! Be careful when connecting your wallet to sites. Its not worth chasing coins early when you can lose all your money. Stick to the Swaps (uniswap, pancakeswap, spookyswap, etc) and don't let this happen to you!
Just to be clear, I don't keep all my cryptocurrency in one wallet. It's not safe and what happened to me is proof that you could get everything stolen if you did that. Use multiple wallets or store your crypto in a hardwallet!

So sorry for your loss and thanks for toughing through the loss to help others. One thing is for sure, get yourself a hardware wallet. You can connect the hardware wallet to meta mask and do the approvals. If the hardware wallet is disconnected, you are safe. Keep in mind the hardware wallet does not protect you from blunders like not being careful and approving malicious transactions. Take the time to read token and contract addresses.

[@Ginzu]

I feel your pain man, I lost my wallet in the same way, except mine was a much larger loss, about 5X more. :(. What happened to me was that I fell for a fake site that involved bridging a token from ETH to BSC. The hackers created a site that looked just like the real one, and I connected my wallet and fell for it. Just to emphasize this to everyone, it's not just your seed phrase you have to be careful with, it's the QR code associated with it. If it even hints of scam, don't do it, it’s not worth it. The token I was trying to bridge was only worth $400. This little thing destroyed my whole wallet, full of staked tokens and other stuff worth thousands. I learned my lesson and will continue to invest, although with more extreme caution!! That is crypto.

Sorry to hear brother, i love how calm and collected you are, and with that attitude, theres no doubt youre going to make even more than what you lost. Hearts out to you brother

[@edwardaryana]

It has to be something else, being connected to a site does not exposed your private key. Some of the probabilities that can happened to you are the following: - You accidently showed the private key while streaming - Place or a note that you keep your private key (your digital notepad, google drive, dropbox anything) is compromised - You accidently tried to restore your metamask wallet using secret phrase but into the phising site not on metamask - Somebody got hold into your computer - Most hacks occurred on Windows Edited: - Downloading illegal files (such as torrent files - movies, software and etc) can infect your machine as well, especially in Windows I would suggest you really go through every possibility because if you do not get rid of the problem, this can happened to you again

[@daniel.sandoval]

Great answer. Agree x 10.

[@crisscreations]

Exactly. Get a hardware wallet people!

[@krisbooth8441]

Agreed, all of these are possibilities. If it was a phishing website, they likely spoofed the metamask extension and asked for the seed phrase to be typed in. No legit site will ever ask you to do this!

[@cgsec2275]

Just giving a site permissions through Meta mask can also let it do transactions.

I use one account for testing new sites and switch "risky" accounts regulary. It's not uncommon that I create a new account just to test one fishy website.

Thanks for sharing your painful story. It will help a lot of people. I am getting the idea that all our wallets are being watched carefully by the sites we connect to, and it is very tempting to connect to many places. Once a hacker knows how much you have, they can probably hack your computer pretty easily and wait for you to leave your wallet unlocked, and even they may have bots doing it. It's probably a lot worse than most of us know. As much as I'm against regulation, someone should go after the wallet makers and sue them for making products that are so easy to hack. Of course they will usually be outside the jurisdiction where someone might sue.

@@adampowles2628 doesnt matter if ur keylogged and ur using a hard wallet, they dont have ur seed phrase and they dont have the ledger to confirm any transactions either

[@devraschreiber6145]

That’s the absolute worst. I am so sorry. Did you get any clarity on what happened after you posted this? Did you do a deep dive on the sites you visited?

[@VeqrohM8]

I respect you a lot, how do you stop this from happening? Also new subscriber ❤️

[@VeqrohM8]

Do you just have to disconnect your meta mask wallet?

[@b2ooo]

Securing metamask with a cold wallet to sign/confirm the transactions would avoid that right?

[@KidGlo]

yep. seems like nobody around here has heard of a ledger lol

[@ezemdianosike5277]

Yes. Use Trezor or ledger

[@crisscreations]

Absolutely correct!

[@s3any1977]

VeChain sync Wallet uses the same method. To do anything you have to authenticate your hardware Ledger. And then any TX is hardware wallet plus MFA with email and mobile phone.

[@ezemdianosike5277]

@@s3any1977 sounds onerous to me. But i guess security is paramount. Just ledger/Trezor authentication would suffice to provide more than adequate security

I feel your pain brother. The same thing happened to me this morning. I literally had every penny to my name in crypto which was approx $30,000 in currencies and nft's. I woke up this morning and everything was gone.

[@Moretolife123]

holy fuck dude, i'm so sorry to hear that man.

[@phlipb1]

@@Moretolife123 yup. It ruined me. I put in a ticket with metamask but I doubt they will do anything. The worst part of it is I can see all my assets sitting in the thiefs address. He has over 2.3 million usd in microoets in his account atm. This is a life changing experience im going through and there is 0 support. Everyone in the community is telling me how much of an idiot I am for falling for the scam that fell for.

[@10dollargifts17]

Really sorry that happened. It speaks volumes about the kind of man you are to take the time to warn us when this pain is still fresh.

[@tanat1345]

Thank you so much for sharing! I feel you man :(

[@Moretolife123]

Thank you :)

Thank you for being so candid, you must be gutted. You will bounce back, I have no doubt, thanks for sharing.

[@KhanMDOmarFaruk]

Pro tip for you..when you are investing in something new or something that you think will take your money, create a new wallet that have no money and use that wallet for experiment

[@Moretolife123]

Thats a very good point and something that I will be doing from now on. Thank you

[@seenechetty3669]

You can set a timer on metamask, maybe for 1 minute so that it automatically logs off.

[@schluelmeister3115]

They still got Permissions bro. Its not like: Logoff and you are good.

[@NOTAMV]

@@schluelmeister3115 Most people with any capital have it secured with a cold wallet.

[@zyadxil]

Did you use Ledger?

[@joelmagalhaes6145]

Same thing happened to me this weekend just to be sure because I didn’t but did you had your meta-mask wallet connected to your own Leger?

[@higheryibes4430]

You are awesome bro, to think about others during that pain is amazing, and don't worry man with that mindset you are blessed already.

[@Moretolife123]

appreciate that a lot thank you 😊

[@axm8376]

This is exactly one of the reasons why institutions prefer BTC futures ETF instead of actually owning BTC. They won't have to worry about the hundreds of different ways they can lose their crypto and the extremely troublesome process of securing their crypto.

[@marcuslotinga1238]

Only 21 million Genuine BTC minted, own it or get ripped by etf.

[@Halbmond]

@@marcuslotinga1238 I’d rather get ripped off by an ETF than lose it all ngl

[@condorheroes7728]

Gary Gensler is that you?

[@thirtyacres7504]

Many institutions and millionaires/billionaires would actually prefer to own BTC. If you're that smart and rich, I am sure you would store it in a cold wallet.

[@marcuslotinga1238]

All these sleeping BTC whales owning BTC in hardware wallets since 2013 recently transferring to ETF for peace of mind. I mean I think I’d probably do the same if I had millions. Fare game.

[@kantogamer9066]

Would trezor have prevented this?

[@thinkerz8tipitina784]

Thank you for this lesson! Appreciated!

[@GAMEBANGINGMEDIA]

Damn bro sorry to hear that this is one of my biggest fears dealing with this crypto stuff getting scammed or robbed blind with no way to do anything about it. Sheesh man you handled this well.

[@NOTAMV]

How do you have 30k on metamask but don't own a 100 bucks cold wallet to secure it?

[@sherburck]

Did you not have a hardware wallet ?

[@Browngeezer]

Sorry to hear bro, I already do these steps.. also close all other tabs when trading and set lock wallet to 5mins or less

[@arturmurnik]

Wow man, this was a powerful share, i'll make treasure of it,thx ! Your money are coming back, straight into your pocket by your biggest asset , your KNOWWLEDGE !

[@Moretolife123]

thank you man, that means a lot. I rushed to put this video out cause I didn’t want this to happen to anyone else. i could have said a lot more but im glad if it helps even just a few people be safer and more aware.
