Everybody could make mistakes but when mistakes happen under Windows operating system I always feel much more sorry than for other OS-es.Personally I have a hardware wallet that I keep most of my funds but I have also considerable amounts in Electrum and Exodus wallet running on my Linux machine,isolated from the local network and with every possible attack vector turned off like ssh remote login,ping disabled and every hardening done to that machine.I have here beside some Bitcoin,25.000.000 SHIBA INU,4000 RTM and about 10 ETHW which is not a great amount in dollars now but it could be in the future,I know chances are extremely low for me to get hacked so whenever I go to work or go out I go with peace of mind that nothing will happen.

Sorry for your most costly mistake but for me the most costly one is keeping your coins in a Windows machine.

What's interesting is that you have been here for 8 years and still missed all the threads and discussions about Multibit being an obsolete piece of software. And I have often encountered users complaining of various problems they have had with this client for different reasons. I wish you had asked if that wallet from that particular source is safe to use before you did it, but it's too late now. Hopefully, that's your first and last big mistake because this wasn't just one, it was a series of multiple ones.

I have here beside some Bitcoin,25.000.000 SHIBA INU,4000 RTM and about 10 ETHW which is not a great amount in dollars now but it could be in the future,I know chances are extremely low for me to get hacked so whenever I go to work or go out I go with peace of mind that nothing will happen.
There is absolutely no need to disclose such information about your portfolio. It's no one's business what you have, how much of it, and where it's stored. You never know what other information you have accidently revealed about yourself somewhere or what could have leaked from a database that contained your personal information. You are helping in connecting some more dots.
