HELP: Hacked Wallet

[wajik-tempe]

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 have used metamask for years and i just heard that someone could access our wallet with connected nodes, i'm sure everytime i want to log in into metamask i was asked for password or create a new password with seed phrase.
For safety if you still could access your wallet you should transfer all your balance to new wallet and just leave that passive income that caused you got hacked.

As for now, you can't do anything as you wallet has already been hacked. You can't write to support team and ask for refunding, it is impossible. I wonder what kind of transaction you signed. If it was the transaction that allowed this web-site to spend your tokens, it is important to set a limit so that this webs-site is able to use only the sum of money that you want to use on it.

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.

That's obvious, but during this year I personally have never seen and heard that those who use Metamask wallets were hacked, because Metamask wallets are generally very safe and also have a double amount of security that has been implemented in them, but if it can still be hacked, it means it is the wallet user who is often negligent in guarding 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.

I'd advise you to watch your mouth. I went to metamask.io which I was told, and researched,  is the legitimate site. Just stay off my post.

That's sad to hear that, someone wallet hacked is devastating to hear. Metamask is a safe wallet it just that end-users might have the fault for it. So never trust some sites and never authorized it on your metamask because it is reversible and once hacked there is nothing to do about it.
