Meta mask not secure wallet.

Safe or not depends on the user. If you use metamask and you want to connect to a new website that doesn't have a reputation; it's better to use a new wallet and separate the main wallet from the wallet to be connected to websites. And of course, the better choice is to store your crypto assets in a hardware wallet.

To be focus now, is look your metamask connected to which sites. And then just leave it, make new and move on. To avoid something like this again, make sure made 2 wallet which 1 for big assets and save money, and the other one to use if require to connect in some sites. Maybe you will pay more fees, but it is worth than hacked and lose all money.

[Ararbermas]

Maybe you browsed a link around the internet without knowing its called phishing links. It's very common actually.. But sometimes it happens in some sites that need access in your wallet to enjoy the full features of the sites itself especially when it comes swapping token.. So i suggest never used such wallet when it comes swapping or joining bounty around the internet, just create wallet for storing only not to used in different sites.

I set my Metamask wallet up to be a chrome extension on my computer yesterday and someone hacked into it and stole all of my coins/tokens. The thing is, I'd just signed up for a program where you create nodes thru Strongblock and get paid passive income to host that node on the ethereum network, meaning that node is connected/Affiliated with your wallet. There is no reversing it and you have to have the node associated with a wallet. Now that the MM wallet has been hacked, what should I do??

I don't understand how this Strongblock nodes creation works but no one can break through your Metamask wallet if it's not authorized by you, you exposing your secret recovery phrase/private keys, or the Metamask you used is from a phishing site.
I have a question for you. Did the Strongblock site ask you to enter your wallet's private information on their site?

If the Op was exposed to the stolen of all the coins in his Metamask wallet, I advise him to make a new Windows for his PC, perhaps someone hacked his device, or if he connected his wallet to one of the suspicious sites, he can create a new wallet and leave the old one, but you should know that next time if you connect Your wallet in one of the sites and you feel that it is a suspicious site, you should immediately click on your wallet, then ► the account option ► the connected sites ► disconnect the suspicious site.

Earn passive income by connencting your wallet? that is the trick used by telegram scammers to hack your wallet. No one should fall prey of such. Consider that wallet gone and never use it again, just uninstall and clean up your computer and start afresh.

I recall my experience few years ago, when my metamask wallet was Alsop hacked. It feels like metamask wallet is prone to hackers, maybe because it's a web wallet or the security features are not strong enough. There's really nothing anyone could do when your wallet get hacked and your funds are transferred out. We all need to be careful and cautious of metamask wallet.

Absolutely nothing, just abandon the wallet and get another, the fact is hacking schemes works better on windows OS so any slightly mistake your coins will be gone, it's why I advice people against metamask on PC I prefer the mobile version more, PC isn't the place you want to store your coins if you use the pc for other things online

Just saying this because one thing j hate about Metamask wallet is that it is vulnerable to hacks because it is a web wallet.

The real Metamask web wallet is alright. I haven't heard or read anything that the codes were compromised/exploited. In most cases, these hacks happen because of the user's fault. Some of them are careful in not giving their seed phrase but careless in reading the Metamask pop up message before they click sign or confirm. In the latter's case, I've seen a message asking for authorization to spend your token.

Meta mask not secure wallet.

Use metamask only in conjunction with a ledger or trezor hardware wallet. Then your wallet will be reliably protected.
This creates some inconvenience to use, but it comes at the cost of security.
If there are several hundred dollars stored on the wallet, then you can risk it.

[Refrumatrix]

Don't use metamask wallet on PC they are vulnerable to attacks because they are just web plugins meaning that codes can be run easily to hack them, the most safest wallet are hardware wallet and mobile wallets as far as they aren't centralised wallet.

@OP seems I saw everything from you almost sending a token on a wrong network, and later you still did that, and this. I can safely say that it is a *preventable* costly lesson. The amount you lost might cost a fortune but what next can be done is to start slowly learning the basic security practices about cryptocurrencies as a whole. There's nothing you can do regarding the lost amount, that's that. But if you still "blindly" continue without taking into account your expensive error that will be absurd.

From what I see that you are still new within this space, my only suggestion is to take a thoughtful steps to learn about cryptocurrency. Regarding the basic security practices I can recommend a collection of threads by @Ratimov, I suggest you should learn and comprehend what it is all about: Beginners & Help Encyclopedia: Security.

If the hack is a private key leak I don't think there's anything you can do, but if the hack happened because you visited a phishing website and linked it to your wallet, you can revoke the permission at https://app.unrekt.net/

You should do nothing and im sorry for your lose, the most important thing is if you wanna try to run or use 3rd service in your computer and you must try to make sure that you didn't use it in the same device that being used to store your wallet that contains all of your coins. Your coins can be returned and it seems like that the program that you have used it to sign up thru strongblock was a fake program.
There may some possibilities but i do believe that if this is making the hacker was able stealing your money.

You must be careful there are so many fake software. So many people got hacked caused by they were accessing the program that already had keylogger on it.

Your wallet was not hacked, but you were the victim of your own stupidity. Most likely, you have fallen victim to a phishing scam and linked your wallet to a scam site. You should be more careful in the future.

Maybe wrong authorization that you accepted on your wallet is what is causing all the mess now My advice is move any fund if you have any and stop using the wallet Is already been compromised and also make sure the site you do visit and the real ones Scammers can make fake ones and have you click it. As for the wallet and node My advice is to set another node with a different wallet to be safe

Many previous post have already advised op to create new wallet offline so that it is safe. The fake sites are called phishing site or a clone site of the original. It's function is to steal what you have submitted to the site. Many have fallen for such trick if you are not careful about the site you are going to access.

The transaction wouldn't occur without your permission from Metamask. Either your device was hacked or you gave permission for a transaction. I know hackers could creak the password of Metamask, they need to access your device. That's the problem using a wallet that you aren't familiar with. You have to learn first before using a wallet because its fund related and there is a chance of losing funds. Cryptocurrency is irreversible, you can't get back your funds anyway. It's quite important to store your fund securely and the same wallet shouldn't use for a Ponzi or suspicious sites. There would be malware to jack your wallet or device. Hope you will take a lesson from this mistake and others as well.

It's never a good feeling when one is hacked especially in this period when the value of cryptocurrency are on the increase. I've heard of several news about people getting hacked on metamask wallet and there really nothing that has been done to curb or prevent the reoccurrence of this issue.
