1  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Unauthorized Bitcoin Transaction - What happened? on: January 29, 2021, 01:08:58 AM
Thankfully the amount lost was only a small amount of BTC. After sending bitcoin to my Evercoin wallet through Coinbase, I backed up my account to an email address. Twenty or so minutes later my BTC was transferred without my authority to some random unknown public address.

      Checking through, I NEVER have copied or shared my private key, and checking my email security it is clear no one else has accessed it besides my devices and IP address.

      I have no idea where the BTC went but got a notification on my phone at the same time that I received the amount in my account that was sent to that random address. But obviously, the BTC is nowhere to be found in the applications wallet.

      Does anyone have an idea where I went wrong here? If I accidentally clicked the recovery link in my email or did something else weird would my account send the BTC somewhere to keep it safe? Or is it possible that my account was hacked and if so how could it have happened if not through email or me sharing a private key?

Thank you
