I was SCAMMED & my wallets got drained, but I got HELP!
When my MetaMask wallets were compromised, I lost 6 figures in just a few hours. However, with the help of the exceptional team at @BlockAudit I managed to save some 'hidden' and/or staked tokens and NFT's.
A brief Thread
Wallet security, contrary to the popular belief, is not a one-size-fits-all strategy.
You may not really need a hard wallet if you assets are worth $1000 or less
And you'll need more than just a hard wallet if your assets are worth $100K
Hot take: the less your assets interact with Bridges and Oracles, the safer they are.
These protocols are the most vulnerable to attacks in crypto, as they often rely on complex smart contracts and external data sources.
if you wanna triple check your wallet security, here are some tools you may wanna check out-
1. @blowfishxyz
2. @PocketUniverseZ
3. @CoinsDogroup
which ones do you use or recommend?
it's no rocket science to keep your crypto safe
1. use reputable wallets
2. verify smart contracts
3. beware of phishing attacks
4. use hardware or paper wallets to store private keys
5. use an authentication app for 2FA
6. pay attention to all dApp permissions
that's it! 🤷🏻♂️
If you've been hacked and lost funds, don’t panic—BlockAudit is just a text away, ready to help you recover your assets and protect your future.
Note: We cannot help if your funds have already been transferred to another account.
TLDR: We recovered $448,556.5 worth of $HYPE tokens for a compromised wallet that was eligible for the @HyperliquidX Airdrop.
The full story:
A hacker gained access to the client’s wallet and took out all the funds from all the chains except $HYPE. Why?
Timely response is critical in security incidents. Good job @sandraleow & @KaitoAI Team
Stay cautious—Yu Hu & Kaito’s X accounts are compromised, but no KAITO wallets are affected.
*IMPORTANT*
Yu Hu & Kaito’s X accounts have been compromised.
There has been no compromised KAITO wallets.
They have waited for Yu Hu’s timezone (where he’s asleep) to do it - please ignore.
We’re working to get them back.
I’ll update here.
If you're facing a similar problem, don't hesitate to reach out. We're one text away if you've been hacked and/or lost funds.
The only thing we DON'T help with is when your funds have already been transferred to another account.
Back in 2018, a seasoned trader emailed his private key to himself instead of writing it down.
For "security" reasons, he altered the last 5 characters. What do you think happened?
He forgot the characters and lost access to $37,500.
But that's not the end of the story - 🧵
Our script systematically generated private keys, matched them to the Ethereum address, and compared results to the original wallet address.
After relentless attempts, we regained access to the lost $37,500! 💰����
