DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS
"I got swiped for 6k leaving wallet open for too long. Never gave out anything."
"I got hacked on 6 nodes. Have proof they are mine. Even my initials on each node. Contacted support 3 times. Generic message of sorry to hear but no migration at this time and can't freeze or suspend. Money came from my coinbase to mm to nodes. They should be able to work w Coinbase to help verify. If you import hacked seed to Trezor and assign a passphrase and pin won't that help even if seed compromised???????"
"Yes...Well partially some great news on that front. Same EXACT thing happened in my case. Someone posing as Black Mamba a legit admin was a scammer. 8 nodes compromised. I have a video conference today w a gentleman out of Spain who helped someone I met. Basically he will put a ETH bot on your account so hacker cannot claim rewards. He re-routes you claimed Strong rewards to another safe wallet per week and you reimburse him for the ETH as he has to pay to claim rewards. You will pay him 10 percent of rewards per week for his work. Once node migration is here, then you should be fine. He gets paid when YOU get paid. Never advance money to these ppl trying to help you first. To note, I have a video call w this expert to helps ppl like us. But I'm happy to have a chance. Of course use a hardware wallet from now on. My email is emk8431@gmail.com if you want further info. I have video conference today 1245 est. I greatly trust the victim who gave me this contact after much research. The guys name is Jose. The victim who gave me contact is on Twitter-@WilksAbram. Just email me and will give you contact info to help you recover your nodes. I may have a sweeper bot on mine so situation is more complex."
"Thats some bs right there. I use a guy in Spain on 9 nodes hacked by these losers. 15% charge and he does everything. Whats better is you set up a zoom call before you do anything. These ppl are insects on dead meat. You need to have technical know how. To launch this yourself is not that easy unless you are computer savy. IMO"
"Yes w a hardware wallet yes of course. DONT CONNECT W METAMASK ONLY. CONNECT W A TREZOR OR LEDGER. You will have to physically approve transactions. Please dyor on security!!!!!! Dont make my mistakes"
Reddit user WiseTumbleweed5448 reports that his MetaMask wallet was breached and he lost either $6k or $7k worth of funds from there. They also interestingly report that they were successfully able to counter-hack the attacker, which is extremely rare.
HOW COULD THIS HAVE BEEN PREVENTED?
Software hygiene. Only download software from the trusted official source.
