RE: My BSC wallet was hacked and all my assets were stolen: Coping, Security and an expensive lesson

Thanks for sharing your experience @belemo

It's very unfortunate to learn what had happened to you.

How was my metamask compromised though? I don't click links and my discord is on my phone where there's no access to my BSC wallet.

Problem is that you possibly used public WiFi while signing in to metamask. This is something I would always recommend to avoid.

I was also told that it could be a breach on my Google drive but that's also protected by 2FA and I'd have to approve it from my phone for anyone to access it

Correct me if I'm wrong , but metamask doesn't offer 2FA verification.


I'm watching number of youtubers on daily basis and I've learned already that some of they have been hacked. And it seem that mostly those who have been using metamask were targets.

I myself am metamask user and I've learned not to ever use it while I'm being connected to any sort of public and unsecured wi-fi. This is one hell of a lesson everyone should learn.

Resteemed already
