I just became a victim of cybercrime. All of my wallets were compromised, and my life savings, everything I earned as an artist in Web3 are gone. This happened during a 14-hour flight from Korea to New York, coincidentally in mid-flight when I had no internet access. I have no idea how it happened, but my best guess is a seed phrase leak. I had a photo of my handwritten seed phrase (not digital) synced to Google Drive, hidden in a random folder, but there’s no sign of any suspicious login activity. It could also have been a leak from the physical paper, but I’m not sure. Public WiFi? Maybe. Malware? I’m pretty sure I didn’t download anything, at least not knowingly. I haven’t had any interactions with suspicious individuals lately either. The strange part is that only my funds were taken while all of my NFTs remained untouched. I’ve already started moving my valuable NFTs to a new, secure wallet. I’m left with nothing now, and this is probably the biggest challenge of my life. My biggest concern is that all my family members rely on me financially, so I need to bounce back as quickly as possible to continue supporting them. Right now, my mind is exhausted and I need to get some sleep first.
