So, let me summarize, you are trying to get out of your funds within the platform of Strongblock, while the account/address of it is already hacked?
There are a few possible scenarios, the one who helps you may somehow isn't the real admin thus you are being deceived by that. So make sure you are verifying that it is indeed the legitimate admin.

Another thing is since you are saying that you are being hacked again, there is also a chance that your current wallet seed phrase or private key is already compromised. And the hacker already setting up a bot into your wallet, and then every movement on your address are being monitored and if you send any coin into it, it will immediately being hacked.

The point is if the related wallet is already hacked in the first place, there is hardly a point in trying to get back the fund that is locked on the platforms.

Hi, yes he is the real admin of the Strongblock group and yes you are correct about what I am trying to do in the 1st sentence. He is asking questions to about me possible recovering my rewards from the nodes without being detected by the hacker but I doubt he IS the hacker. He has not asked me any questions that would enable him to hack my wallet such as seed/recovery phrases, wallet addresses, computer IP address or anything of that nature. He did say I'd have to reconnect the same hacked wallet and that's what's making me nervous. And I did not know or talk with him when the hacking happened in December; Matter of fact, I didnt even join the Strongblock telegram group until days later.

I'm not being hacked "again"; The hacking happened in December. After being hacked I removed the Metamask wallet from my Chrome extension. But my nodes are about to expire meaning I could lose them because I have not paid the monthly fee. To do so, I have to pay in ETH, and all transactions must be done using that same hacked wallet meaning I would have to put ETH into it, then use that eth to pay the node fees on the Strongblock website. I am not 100% sure if there's a sweeper bot in it but I may have to try with a small amount of ETH and see.



@KHamilton

By reading from your previous post. There are only few things that I suspect that caused your device being compromised.

- It could be your device that is infected with malware that permits attack vector to gain access to your wallet.
- Maybe the recent hacking issues you're having are due to the "nodes" you're referring to. Perhaps, the person helping you in setting up nodes has something to do with your wallet getting hacked, and based from your previous post, there are a lot of the same concerns that @DdmrDdmr mentioned. I am not really sure though!.

The only solution I can come up with is to reach to the node's support and request to move your nodes to your fresh MM generated by your HW device. And carefully backup and format your computer to get a clean device and improve your OPSEC.

It may have been infected at the time; I have had my computer cleaned since then and I've also bought a seperate Chromebook to use just for crypto. The person I mentioned didn't help me set up the nodes. I didnt know him when I set them up. He is an admin in the Strongblock Node telegram group that I am in. I contacted him and other admin AFTER I was hacked. I wasn't even in the group when the hack happened. He isn't trying to help me set them up; He is trying to help me save them because they require a monthly fee that if not paid, will cause you to loose them permanently. And my time is about to run out. I do know not to give him or anyone else seed/recovery phrases or anything that would let him in my wallet.

Unfortunately Strongblock does not have the "migration" feature activated yet that would let you move your nodes to a different wallet. Thousands have asked about this and it isn't possible. They're supposed to be working on it, but that feature isnt available now. They even have it in their "FAQ" section. There have been TONS of people hacked the way I have. Some have had no issues.

Okay, sounds like there isn't any suspicious activity from the admin and what he telling you to do is technically correct.

That will be left out to test whether the sweeper bot is on your key or not. With that, in any case, you are able to get into the platform, you should immediately withdraw any funds into a brand new wallet that you have generated securely. Ideally, if you are now having a secure device, attempting to import the pre-hacked wallet into Metamask wouldn't do anything bad to your device.

he has said the correct thing about that. it caused by your hacked wallet was your credential to connect into your account on strong block. You have no choice other than conercting your wallet that's ever got hacked to get your reward and that's why this must be done as fast as you can before the hacker was taking our your reward. Your wallet is an id for the platform to identity if it's you. you will never able to use another wallet to get your reward. this is the only choice.

yeah just try that with small amounts of money. this to make sure if it's not being connected or controlled by the bot but i do believe it's not. as long as you are doing it as fast as you can and you can oay fees for your node. From what i know based on your story if you wanna extend your nodes or take youe reward but you're feeling worry if the hacker was coming again to take it.
