Thanks for the input guys and sorry for posting in the wrong section.
If the BTC's are still there, move them asap to a much secure wallet and probably you will be the only one who knows. Crypto is money and the personal interest of other people with other's fund is there.

Yea i directly moved all BTC to a secure wallet.

The other possibility ist that your friend used a MEW phishing site, not the original one.


The safest way to use MyEtherWallet is to use it through the trezor interface or use the offline version from github: https://github.com/kvhnuke/etherwallet

Last year there was DNS poisoning attack targeting Trezor users: https://blog.trezor.io/psa-phishing-alert-fake-trezor-wallet-website-3bcfdfc3eced
But I don't think that's what happened to you.

Why didn't you use a multisig wallet / multisig contract?

I dont think it was a phishing site since there was no reason for a transfer on that day. He saved the right MEW link on chrome.
Even tho it would be a phishing site, he still need to confirm the transaction on Trezor which he didn't(thats what he says).

multis wallet/ contract are def. something for the future. I actually didn't expect that someone can steal money from a cold wallet tbh.
This is also the  reason why i think my friend didn't steal the money because it would be a very stupid scam tho.We share a lotto friends and even the amount was big, i think not big enough to risk a lot friendship and be marked as a scammer

Hello,
me and a friend working together in a business which involves crypto currency.
Last week, he told me that all our USDT + ETH got transferred to another wallet which is obv not ours.
We stored USTD + ETH on myetherwallet.
My friend takes care about the tezor but didn't log in on that day.
I asked him to check the balance on the evening and he told me that all wallets are empty and there is an transaction history which shows that all wallets got cleared a couple of hours ago.
He is the only one who has access to the trezor. the recovery seed is in a safe in his apartment in europe where he lives with his family.We are currently not in europe but have private places here too, so we dont use public wifi or something similarÂ
Even tho he didn't connect to MEW on that day(until the balance check) the trezor was connected to the laptop the whole day.
The laptop should be very secure when it comes to anti virus programs etc.
All BTCs are still were still there tho, only USDT+ETH got stolen.
So if someone is able to hack a cold wallet, i dont really understand why he just stole everything on MEW and not the BTCs.
It is the first time that i hear that something like that happened.
Basically someone stole a pretty big amount from a cold wallet without entering the code on the trezor, which is necessary to confirm the transaction, at least as far as i know.
I googled and didn't find anything about a similar situation.
I contacted many friends who work a lot with cryptos, people who work for big exchanger etc..Â
Nobody heard of a similar situation where a cold wallet got cleared while one of the owners is sitting next to it. Most reaction was that people think my friend stole it. I dont really wanna believe that because it wouldn't make sense to me.
Anyone here who has an idea what happened or heard about a similar case?
