How did this hack happen?

Valid point and wifi can definitely be sketchy but this was with the latest xfinity router and a non-default password. I am not a wifi hacking expert but I think you need proximity to the wifi in order to hack it. This was in the suburbs with zero foot or car traffic and there might have been two houses in wifi range. The chance that one of those houses had some hacker in it sniffing packets at 8:30 on a Sunday morning seems very very low.

There are many possible attack vectors. Could be some sort of DNS hijacking. Could be one of your apps if I had to guess:

My phone has a ton of apps but none of those types of apps. No "antivirus" apps. It's a pixel 3a and runs great on its own.

You can check them all closely to see if there's anything sketchy.

System glitched I guess on which Blockchain.com only can answer. Try giving them an email? They can at least check if the same IP was used during the consecutive login by YOU and the possible hacker.

This is weird as the hack happened at the same time when OP open the account after years. That's not possible for a hacker as it needs at least minutes to do those things and what great timing. If it's compromised by another "person" the hack should have happened before. There's something that triggers the hack upon OP opening the account again. OP is not new to this security stuffs so I think there is no human error here but might be a dark shadow that blockchain.com is hiding (this isn't the first case that shared here). My conclusion is just based on what OP tells us and we don't know the whole story. Maybe there are still other things that OP misses to share.
