I'm kinda confused for you loss as that is an expensive lesson to learn, hopefully you didn't spend $375k on them or that wasn't worth that much to you because that seems like a lot to lose to a hacker when $80 could've saved you.

Do you know how the hackers got onto your mac and if they're still there?

That's probably more important than what the actually did if it was private keys they were after and sent you a phishing mail or something.

I didn't spend up to 10k dollar on those tokens and NFt, they actually did a bull run on all
Well, you got lucky because you've managed to earn that amount of money just by using a small amount of money.
The bad thing is that you let the hackers take the money.

Just a few weeks ago, I don't know how but it seems that a hacker managed to hack my computer for some reasons and got this account. Fortunately, he didn't got any cryptos that I'm holding right now so I don't know the reason why and how the hackers managed to hack your NFT's.

You spent less knowing the amount that you got that you said but still it is a loss and you must've learned from it Smiley. Hardware wallets are always there and you can buy one. Be careful with the links that you are clicking and don't save your seed phrase in your computer. That is what I'm doing right now.

Similar situation happened to a friend of mine and it was really sad because he is no more today. He couldn't take the loss of funds and he fell into depression. My advice is you should remain strong and don't give up.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. It's exhausting and stressful when something the same has happened to you. People should really be careful where they're keeping their assets or else they'll have a bad experience just like OP and your friend. Be responsible with the assets that you're keeping because we have to learn from the experience of others. We have never wish it to happen to them and to anyone, we just need to take extra care.

On Saturday hackers stole my 375,000 worth of NFTs and crypto tokens from two of my Ethereum wallet. Before I start I know how stupid I was $375k worth of stupid, I put my private keys and seed phrase in text files on my Mac's filesystem, that is a bad idea. I didn't use a hardware wallet for high value assets.

What Happened?
Hackers found  METAMASK & TRUST WALLET ETHEREUM PRIVATE KEYS on my Mac's  and use them to login to OPENSEA and sell off everything they could for WETH , then they transferred all the WETH and other tokens
that's sad mate, actually it's too skeptical to store in our devices especially if we used to browse different sites online because that's the main causes when it comes hacking, and indeed we don't know if we already stepped on their phishing links around the internet or what ever it is that will become a key for them to have an access on our devices.  So i suggest just lesson learn mate and be aware next time.. And also void public wifi because they're now not safe especially if you use to saved txt files on your computer, because some of them is like a phishing link nowadays..

I can't imagine how I feel when that happens to me and before it happens to me/us, we should have to secure our funds first by using a hardware wallet if possible or not to use put our keys on the gadgets as it was easy for the hackers to find it.

That is totally a big loss for you mate, you can't take it back anymore. It is a lesson to learn and needs to be correct now. A lot of people got this kind of scenario, maybe we could say that they are unlucky but who knows that someday hackers will found us as well. That is why we should need to keep our keys separate and we let these hackers find a hole to access and take control of our wallet.

For someone owning even a $1,000 asset, I'm expecting they are aware of how they will secure their respective assets. If a person holds an asset worth $300,000 they are much more strictier on that part. No one to blame here but OP. It's hard to move on from that loss and it will take years of disappointment and regrets. It's ok to be like that but try to slowly catch up with your normal life.

I don't know how hackers are able to dig your MAC without being in touch with it. No such actions should be made even remotely if no permission from the owner.

losses with a very large value ,usually what I hear is that a hacker uses a file type of virus that can send data on the target computer to the hacker's computer ,but for such problems there is usually an anti virus that detects it, does the OP turn off the anti virus performance? Why are important files not saved properly

I remember exactly the same thing happened to my friend. He also put his seedphrase to txt file with a filename "<name> axie". It is so easy to find. That was his investment and his only team. He spent his savings to it. His axie team was only 1 month old and whats worst is that his capital has not yet been returned. I know up to now he can't get over with what happened. He became easily sad if he remember it. The moment he noticed that he lost his team, he was two days unable to talk to anyone. What more of your $375k. What did you do to try to bring it back? Did you feel you want to stop investing in crypto ? Have you move on already ?

Why are important files not saved properly
of course, fantastic values can be retrieved very easily, is there any mistake from the op himself being able to experience this and whether or not a reliable save is made. this is a question for many people if one gets hacked and its worth a lot.

it could be that what you said happened because the hacker had sent a type of virus that he didn't realize was actually opened and hacked the data on his computer, but if he used the original anti-virus, there would obviously be a warning. did he ignore it, or could there be a trick of his own by not realizing that he was giving access to his computer, because the hacker's unconscious request was thought to be wanting to help.

but from this there is a lesson in not being able to trust anyone and keeping valuable data as safe as possible with reliable security.
