My metamask has been hacked ($403 USDT)
May 7, 2022. No. 237
I certainly have no desire to even write this article today, much less at 5:22 am. But actually, I can hardly sleep. Yesterday around 8:00 pm when I opened my metamask, I realized that all USDT had been withdrawn, my account was literally 0. I thought it was a wallet error, so I closed everything and reopened it, to find the sad reality that I had been hacked.
All my monthly earnings on Pegaxy turned to dust in seconds. Months of dedication and time consumed turned into dust in 3 minutes. Just when the money is most needed, that's when a hacker comes to take everything from you. The poor will always be poor, no matter how hard they try.
I went to polygonscan to see what movements my wallet had made and I find that, in effect, they had been sent to another wallet in their entirety. The hacker sent me from his 1 MATIC account and then somehow got control of mine. In less than 3 minutes, he converted the USDT into MATIC and sent it to his wallet. In the photo, you can see the procedure of what he did.
The hacker's wallet is this: 0x80c8c297d4a0769abc84f44a6fa7a3b99dfa9ef8. Although you can do little, since, although everything is transparent to see the transactions in the blockchain, we could not know who owns that wallet or any other where the money moves to unless he obviously identifies with it.
This same procedure has been carried out on multiple occasions, sending a little money to your wallet and then gaining control of it and emptying it.
Excuse me, but I don't have the energy to continue writing this article. I'm literally very bad right now. It has been a very strong blow and if we take into account my current economic and family situation, it is even worse. Money that was sorely lacking and that an opportunist would steal, just like that in a few minutes.
:(
No words said can change the situation. Let's try to recover the loss by some other means!!! hugs
