Another hack

Sep 21, 2022

Yesterday our friend @Fexonice1 published this article: My Metamask wallet got hacked, 3.4 BCH went to the hacker. It is not easy to even read the title without feeling bad about the situation. It came to mind when a hacker took $403 USDT from my metamask on the polygon network. That amount of money represents in my country more than 1 year and 3 months of basic salary. This way you can know how I still feel about that loss.

Hackers are heartless people, they just destroy without caring what others may or may not depend on that money. What for many is very little, because they charge in USD for example, for me it is a fortune. In addition, it is never little, because that money represents the hard work of months and perhaps years on internet platforms, trying to get ahead, to save a little so that in the future they may have something more. Personally, months after that incredible loss, I still haven't been able to recover from it, neither psychologically nor monetarily. That is, I still haven't recovered all the lost money, in fact, I'm far from it yet.

You wonder how they managed to get into your wallet and take everything. Then you become distrustful and believe that they are trying to hack you over and over again. Anything is suspicious and you create a huge paranoia around you. It passes with time, but you never forget.

Fexonice1, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's time to be strong and try to move on. Avoid things like this from happening to you again, analyzing everything you did in your wallet in the last few days, which could have caused this to happen. A lot of strength and a positive mind. A hug.
