RE: My BSC wallet was hacked and all my assets were stolen: Coping, Security and an expensive lesson

in LeoFinance3 years ago (edited)

I'm not a crypto expert, but just wondering why you put your ETH and BSC wallet address at the end of your posts, that's an invitation to hack it. Also, how is it that you ask for support when you are dealing with $10,000 worth of crypto? That's not a terribly big amount of money in my country, but I guess it's a fortune in yours. For me, that's another reason why the address shouldn't be there.

Also, if you got money on the Cub/BUSD farm and so on, it occurs to me the hacker must have known that you were investing in those places in order to withdraw the money and, therefore, is either someone close to you or a member of the community.

Sort:  

Although it isn't a great idea to advertise your public addresses, it doesn't really make a difference as it is all publicly available information anyway.

Likewise, it isn't too hard to look up the token contracts to figure out the Cub farms. It doesn't rule out a connection, but it doesn't point to one.

you can get all the rich addresses on ethereum based networks without any problem, it is not a matter of sharing address or not.
it may bring unwanted attention, yes.
still I believe it was an opportunistic hack, not a targeted one

Well... again, $10,000 is not a terribly big amount of money to bother about. Also, how did the hacker know he had invested in Cub and so on? Am I missing something?

Yup, definitely missing stuff.
For starters, yea, 10K is a lot of money. In Nigeria, in Spain and in Switzerland. WTF.
Also, there are a gazillion of LP and position aggregators in ETH BSC and every L1 which display all your positions for a given wallet. Cmon show some empathy ffs.

$10,000 not $10

once you have private key, you have address and you can check history of the account.

there is cub finance text on page 2 straight away + lots of interactions with contracts from cub finance (you need to get into contract) everywhere
