BTC/ETH Wallet hacked ($550k) stolen

[fetka88]

malicious WIfi is the most probably the reason you dont have anything now. It is so bad and i am so sorry for that, unfortunately there is no way how to get coins back

But I don't get it, where is your private keys stored. I was told that if one is using hard ware wallet that the private keys do not leave the hard wallet.

For me with that huge portfolio you should ahve bought one hard ware wallet at least

use trezor/ledger nano s or KeepKey, safest and the only way how I store my coins...

Sorry to hear about your loss and hope everything will be fine for you. This type of scam is very bad, hopefully there is a way to stop it.

Anyone think this thread may be a lie?

Honestly who stores 550k worth of coin in an insecure location? If you got that cash, surely you would have invested in very secure cold storage.

Looks like a hardware wallet manufacturer is spreading a FUD, to remind people to buy their wallets

it seems that you are exposed to the hacker traps, by indirectly breaking into the identity of all forms of bitcoin and altcoin, I am sorry, I hope your money lost can be replaced in the next month or this week ..

My purses all two-factor authentication. If someone tried to login my account I would receive a text. That's why I think online wallets are more secure. Last week I received an SMS that someone tried to login to my account on CEX. But they didn't work.

And what if the domain itself gets hacked, the sever gets corrupted for some reason or a ddos attack takes place? In that case you you've (temporarily) lost your assets and there's nothing you can do about it. If you're storing half a million dollars worth of crypto at least take some precautions.

maybe he not really focus when do that, but ya use public wifi to open important things like some account, banking activity is totally mistake. for OP sorry for your loss and you must get learn some lesson from this problem

[Herdirfauzi]

Make the disaster you experience as an experience, later you do not connect your smartphone or laptop to other peoples wifi .. if you have important data on your smartphone and laptop goods.

maybe yeah, but who would create a thread like this? Just for fun (maybe)?? interesting

[fetka88]

lots of unanswered questions....OP should explain...

[dreamer81]

always keep your crypto in cold storage. I never keep more than 10% on exchanges. It's simply too risky with the huge potential in crypto.

PM if you want great tips on storing in cold storage which is vanity proof!

The point in such a thread would be to scare people about the security of their funds.

I mean from the perspective of a hardware wallet manufacturer, you want people to be afraid about the security of their coins.

This way they will buy a your product - the super secure hardware wallet that will guarantee peace of mind and security.

still dont understand, why ppl using their mobile for wallets connecting to foreign wifi  

only 1 wallet on 1 PC with AV+antikeylogger

I haven't heard of "antikeylogger" before. More accurately, I always just kind of assumed that antikeylogger would be a feature included in any typical AV. Is there some service or software you recommend?

On a related note, the thing I always worry about (well one of the many things) is someone getting a dump of my clipboard history. I cut & paste addresses, passwords, and the like often enough that my clipboard history alone would be a valuable tool to use against me...

I mean come on.. You have to be real dipshit to store such money in an insecure location... and how do you even get that money if you not smart enough to secure it.

I think it is a lie thread.

I seen you around back in the days man (voot etc), feels bad reading this, sorry for your loss.

[Floyd Money]

I'm very sorry crypt brother. I hope this is not your only purse. I want to catch the wave of Elliott !!!

[iluvbitcoins]

What I'm wondering is, how do I protect myself when using wi-fi that isn't my own if I'm forced to use it?

I'm not using public wi-fi, but currently as a student, I'm using my landlords wi-fi (not in my apartment), I don't want to pay my own internet (expensive).

What are the measures I should take?

I mean, it's not like I don't trust my landlord, but I seriously doubt his security since his wi-fi password is 123456789  

[fetka88]

IDK but i think that 2FA is enough, not? When i have phone verification there is no way how to hack me...anyone disagree?

[vaso11]

oooh fack maan, I sympathize with you,do not lose heart
