So, pertaining to the "scam & hack" post I made yesterday
First of all, I'd like to thank for the Hive she sent me yesterday, I appreciate it, thank you.
Thanks to and
yesterday for their massive help.
After a careful analysis of my wallet, we found out the wallet was not much into DEFI stuff so there was no way I clicked a phishing link.
I tried protecting my wallet from phishing by making sure I never interacted with any link, and I did a good job at it, unfortunately, there was a blind spot: my PC which had my main Gmail logged in.
In the past 24 hours a lot of people has mocked me, called me names, said I was careless, said I was useless, a dummy and many other names. Some has plainly ridiculed me and all sort of insults, but I take it that that's humanity.
Many are happy for your loss even though they don't know you before, they're just happy and can't wait to shit on you.
Turned out the hack was most likely from a malware installed on my computer. The guy on the other hand never knew my email had data, I on the other hand didn't know I could be compromised from my my data on Gmail. I've always had data there for over 10 years and it's been a life-saver for me.
Turns out scammers are getting better at what they do. I thought I had it right, I thought I protected myself well, it just felt like this guy has perfected the art of scamming,
I had faith in everything I did to protect myself, I thought it was enough and I felt short and now I lost the money I worked so hard for. Yesterday night I just get this big jolt anything I remember I'm starting over again.
I thought I figured out how to pay the bills, and how it just seems like it's all a dream. I pride myself as a careful person, I just can't believe the scammer was ahead of me in everything.
It feels too wrong to be compromised and violated the way I did, I just can't believe it happened to me, even if I move on, I can't forget how hard I worked and some stole my efforts and when I remember how hard I worked, and how easy I could have made my life by having disposable cash to pay the bills, it'll hurt even more.
Know how it feels to give time and effort to a romantic relationship, and the other person does not appreciate it. I can't stop thinking about the things I could have done rightly. Wonder how these scammers target wallets.
It just shows that people using wallet with keys are not safe anymore. There's a compromise in crypto because of the short comings of EVM and solana hot wallets and scammers have found a way to cheat people via it.
Think I'll be staying away from hot wallets for life, whenever I plan to save again (not like I even have any plans) I'll advise anyone too to stay away from them.
N matter how careful you are these guys are ahead. Saw a post of how one guy lost $60k worth of crypto in his hot wallet, despite having tight security measures put in place. So the best decision is to completely avoid evm and hot wallets. Abort that mission
I'll probably need a power down, this wasn't my plan, but unfortunately it's gotten to this
