Guys I need help. I used my wallets to stake tokens and provide liquidity on Crystl Finance on the BSC. Just found out the wallet has been drained. The hacker withdrew my tokens and sold them off. Same with my other wallet on Metamask. My question is how s/he got hold of my private keys, because I didn't give it to anyone and I didn't love into any suspicious sites

Do you use hot wallets? the possibility of your privet key being stolen in some way by hackers, the question is, do you store the privet key on your smartphone? if it is true then delete it immediately and save it on paper. because every device can be hacked through an application on your phone.
My friend also lost $200 usd in his Trust wallet, because of some phishing attacks, you can see the article about the phishing attack here, how hackers can take the funds.

Cybercriminals are constantly improving their infection methods by finding new user vulnerabilities or application security vulnerabilities. To reduce the risk of your virtual funds being stolen and to help protect your crypto wallets, ESET recommends that you follow basic rules for storing personal data.

Yes I store it on my phone but via cloud storage. I thought writing on paper is tedious since you have to get the alphabets and figures right. Any tiny mistake in case renders your private keys invalid. Do you have any other option for storing private keys and mnemonics

You must have a home printer that does not connect to the Internet. this way you will be able to publish any information on paper that will not have any connection with the Internet. that is, you will have a secure way to publish secret data in paper form.

There are many such websites and applications nowadays. Which records your data. That's why hacking wallets has become easy for cybercriminals. Friend, you should use hardwallet to protect your data and deposits. And do not keep your key or seed phase in any computer device and write it in your hand made notes.

So sorry to hear this. Look carefully, there must be a way you let yourself got compromised. It pains me to see people fall victim of such in this space as it sends a very negative message to especially the mainstream sector.
-
I can't say how hackers access your keys. Sad to hear that but you need to be more cautious. Hackers are very expert nowadays our one mistake leads to a huge loss. As you said you never shared your private keys but the thing is hacker access your private keys that's why he/she stole your all coins. I suggest you use Hardware wallets that are quite safe because unless you connect your hardware device to the computer or approve the transaction nobody can transfer your coins without your approval.

I believe that it is not worth the period to upload your knowledge, because many who lost their funds considered themselves very smart and ignored the Elementary Rules.

I think your wallet is still connected to the dex or swap platform which is a scam. do you use dex or platform swap a lot lately? I hope you are always careful before transacting

The trouble with this kind of method is reproducing the passphrase or mnemonics. You would have to copy each letter or numeral down from the photocopied print, wouldn't you? That's serious work. Maybe there is another way. Which methods do we use

Definitely, a reserve of secret keys should be written on paper and kept in a safe place. This is the most secure way to store private keys. Cloud storages are also unreliable, especially if they are in the form of separate applications. I previously used cloud storage for this and my wallets were hacked.
You also need to take into account that Google account passwords are hacked, so all the keys that are stored in the account can also become known to the hacker. This is a very common way to enter our secret data.

Other than the compromised private key, signing carelessly can potentially lead to problems as well. You don't just sign in with Metamask on an unknown or less reputable website. This attack is called token permission/approval attack: https://consensys.net/blog/metamask/the-seal-of-approval-know-what-youre-consenting-to-with-permissions-and-approvals-in-metamask/

There are cases where people try to scramble the phrases by randomizing one of the words that can access a wallet. As we know, the average wallet pharse uses a phrase code with words, there are as many as 12 words and there are also 24 words. maybe your case could happen to this incident. The solution that I provide, it is better if the wallet key is better to use a private key, because it can be said that the private key code is very difficult to solve.
-
most hacks occur due to inattention when we sign and ourselves give access to certain actions on the part of intruders.

I think that it is worth publishing some accurate information so that people know what to follow when protecting their personal data and money. at least some sort of user manual.

Today, cryptocurrencies are gaining momentum in many areas of human life. Almost any service can be paid using cryptocurrency. Unlike ordinary money, cryptocurrency is not stored in a real or virtual wallet, it is located directly in the blockchain ecosystem. The chain stores the coins themselves, information about the distribution of assets, and the history of operations. You cannot erase or change the chain, except by destroying the entire Internet.

True private keys are more relatively harder to hack than mnemonics. And someone up there mentioned using a printer that has no internet connection to print out my private keys. But the big issue, which is being overlooked here, is entering that private key into a dapp. That would be a hell of a pain in the ass. Any suggestions?
-
Be careful when connecting on swap or dex platforms for now as there are many cases of swap platforms getting hacked and causing the linked wallet to be hit as well. It's better to create a different wallet for trading and investing
-
The hack is believed to have taken hold on wallets such as Slope and Phantom. These are “hot wallets” — that is, wallets that allow for lightning-fast transactions because they are always connected to the internet, as opposed to “cold wallets,” which usually require a USB drive and have long periods of disconnection.
-
The risk is everywhere, maybe you have given ownership of the wallet when interacting with the smart contract of a scam token, or your computer has a virus and the virus has stolen your private key. You should be careful when trading/swap tokens, and use programs to protect your computer from viruses.
-
This is a very latest problem of every guy that is getting in occurence of every individual nowadays.
-
I suspected that you're connected to some suspicious DEX or platform that need to connect to your metamask. I suggest you to revoke it or just simple create new wallet because it's already hacked. And please store your private key/mneomic in a book/paper for more security, scan your computer.
-
I don't understand why so many hack cases happen on platforms like swap and dex. is the security level very weak or maybe the platform is planning to scam?

Is this real? I mean viruses stealing my private keys. I know I stream football matches from dubious sites and after this hackers installed Bitdefender on my affected laptop. As I wanted to access the site, the antivirus warned me that the site is trying to install some malware on my system. I was shocked. I blocked that site totally. And I have been using it for 3 years to stream matches

I agree with your opinion, I think we should not do transaction in scam tokens that we don't know from there.
Scammers will spread many fake tokens, so be careful.
Better always know where from tokens that you got in your wallet
-
I would say rather go for some authentic wallets which with the security of 2fa, private keys also provides higher security like multisig wallet security. Such crypto wallets are not easy to be hacked.

To protect your wallets from hacking, it is unnecessary to send keys from wallets to different projects when filling out the form for joining the project. You need to protect your wallets and even in the smallest suspicious situations not to succumb to their tempting offers.

Don't share private key of wallet and do suspicious tokens that you never buy.
Because there are many scammers there.
And don't save your assets in your exchange wallet.
-
it is much more important not to use suspicious sites and not give permission to the metamask and not sign what you do not understand.
-
You need to follow the basic security rules to secure your assets in your wallets.
-
I believe somehow hacker access your keys so he would be able to take out your all valuable coins from your wallet. I also faced such a problem when I was newbie 4 years back but after that incident, I bought a hardware wallet and become tension free about the coins that I hold in my hardware wallet.
-
a hardware wallet is a good solution, but many do not use it because of small deposits.
-
You should talk to some recovery experts about this. Implement it as soon as possible. because delaying reduces the chances of recovery.
-
The main thing is to have an understanding and observe Internet hygiene, because otherwise no hardware wallet will save your funds.

all always with protection so that what we use is on a network that can indeed be said to be safe from anyone who will try to find an opportunity, of course the alternative for a clean internet is one of them using "internet antivirus protection" even though it will be returned to the personal, can we use it to be useful .
because if we ourselves don't take care not to open any unknown links, it will obviously make it useless.
-
Never use a VPN and sign a contract until you are sure it is safe, when you make a transaction some small mistakes can happen, using a cold wallet is recommended to avoid such things, because there are many ways that hackers can take your crypto assets. just like what happened to Solana wallet https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2022/08/03/phantom-wallet-exploit-drains-millions-in-sol-tokens/

Wallets are hardware or software programs where the private keys to your wallet addresses on a blockchain are stored. These private keys are your access to your crypto deposits, and keeping them safe is the most important task.
-
Judging by the fact that the cryptocurrency was stolen from two different wallets, it means that it is not a matter of cracking the secret keys to these wallets. An attacker has entered your device's desktop. This often happens when a goodle account is hacked or a special virus has entered the device that sends data from your device. Secret keys should not be stored on the device. The wallet login must have a password, which also must not be on the device.
-
there are many cases like that happen and some wallet users are not aware if you sign a contract that can control your wallet, it usually happens when you often connect your wallet to some fake or scam sites, therefore always pay attention to the link in the browser before you connect the wallet that you hold.
