Get $30,000 Stolen From Your Metamask Overnight, Breh's

[Louisville Slugz]

I just had my Coinbase account wiped out completely. $4200 stolen in seconds. I can’t get in touch with their wack ass “customer service”, outside of automated email response, to save my life. Money just gone. fukk Coinbase and their dead homies…

2FA would have prevented that….

Also create a second wallet that you use for bullshyt like that. It takes a few minutes and will keep you safe in the long run.

First having 30k on metamask is retarded. Second he didn’t even get hacked he connected his wallet to some shady crypto sites like a idiot

It seems like 95% of the time people end up losing that much. Money in crypto cause they did it to themselves. It's always they signed up on some shady site or gave one their private keys. It's actually very hard to just hack a wallet, they're encrypted, you generally need the keys or seed phrase to access it. Shoot, I bet there are a shyt ton of people getting wallets, loading up thousands of dollars on them and did not write down their seed phrases at all, and they will get got.

I never leave my crypto on sites. Plenty of wallets like Electrum that keeps me safe. 2FA can be bypassed. The hackers either trick you with OTP or sim swap.

MetaMask is banned in Texas because of shyt like this

I lost money on coinbase too

These fakkits got me with that sim swap bullshyt through MetroPCS. Where they pretty much clone your phone remotely and then they can access your secured data and apps like Coinbase, PayPal, your bank account, etc. not only did they wipe out my crypto, they started wiring themselves money and credit from my checking/PayPal accounts

Got all my money back from the bank and PayPal. It’s just Coinbase playing Smokey and Craig to my Big Worm

You clicked on some funky phishing email

Some mf company or b*stard shared my email addresses and phone number. I get scam messages on Reddit, emails, text messages etc.

Almost fell for one the other day. Said that someone logged into my Instagram account from the UK and I almost clicked on it.

Called a bluff since I have no posts on my throwaway IG account and idgaf if someone hacks that shyt.

I also get random text messages with phishing links. I just block the contact and delete the message.

Edit: just looked up sim swap, and if that indeed happened to you.. your ISP should be held responsible if they fell for a scammer pretending to be you and as a result them providing the scammer with a SIM card for your phone.

This ain’t my first rodeo on the internet my man. I ain’t clicked on no janky looking links since 1999 when my young, dumb ass thought those hoes in that pop up ad REALLY were local and wanted to meet or I REALLY thought I was the one millionth visitor to xyz website and that they were really gonna send me a free laptop

There’s actually a data breach within Metro/T-Mobile right now and I was a victim of it. Inside job. Some 20 year old making $12 bucks an hour selling information to hackers for a percentage of the stolen loot or a flat rate. I had the “high security” features on my account, thinking I’m Gucci. But all that shyt is no good if some greasy faced teenagers can just bypass all of that shyt with an employee login

damn…that’s tough

sounds like he was messing around with pancakeswap and forgot to manually disconnect his wallet

a dude in the main crypto thread lost some crypto that way

another mistake is using the same CPU he does transactions on to browse…I have multiple computers, tablets, wallets that I use for crypto…I don’t browse/visit foreign websites on the same device where I store crypto…I don’t keep everything in one wallet…maaaaaybe someone hacks one but they’re not gonna hack all…it’s tedious but worth it…also I have one wallet that I use to swap tokens on uniswap/pancakeswap…and I empty that wallet each and every time until it’s time to use it again…it costs extra as you’ll have to move tokens in/out of it but that’s far less costly than waking up to find all your shyt missing

Not posting again until avatars can be uploaded…

STFU and stop posting fakkit

Did you have 2fa enabled?

Use an authenticator app and not sms. Sim swapping is real and people get got often. My coworker got sim swap and they got into everything but his bank account.

…also be extremely wary of unexpected/random airdrops of tokens into your wallet…you might try to swap them for ETH thinking it’s “free money” but it can serve as a trojan horse to gain access to your wallet…it’s relatively harmless when it’s added to your wallet (you cannot prevent this) but the danger occurs when you attempt to swap these free tokens…if it’s an airdrop that you coordinated from a reputable exchange/project etc. then that’s fine

damn i would be pissed
