USDC-Münze von DApp aus meiner Hardware-Brieftasche genommen

At some point in the past you authorised a smart contract to spend your USDC without future confirmation, even if at the time it only took the amount you were expecting it to. You never revoked this contract, and whoever controls it drained your wallet.

You clicked on a scam link and authorized the transfer ?

If the transfer happened from your wallet to OKX.

You probably approved USDC to be spent by that malicious dApp.

That malicious dApp was now authorized to call transferFrom and move your USDC from your wallet to any other wallet (they chose OKX deposit address)

The dApp didn’t need you to sign a second time as they could call transferFrom thanks to the approval.

I know it hurts a lot and I wish you luck. I hope the above can help get some closure.

Hey – sorry to hear about this. It seems like you’ve been drained by a smart contract and so your USDC was stolen without your authorization.

Smart contracts are pieces of code that run on the blockchain and can interact with your cryptocurrency. When you approve a smart contract, you’re giving it permission to perform certain actions with your tokens.

In some cases, you might approve a smart contract to spend an unlimited amount of a certain token. This is often done for convenience, so you don’t have to approve every single transaction. However, if the smart contract is malicious or gets compromised, it could potentially drain your account without any further authorization from you.

That’s why it’s important to only approve trustworthy smart contracts, and to only approve them for the amount you want them to be able to spend. You can also use services like revoke.cash to revoke unnecessary allowances.
Remember, even when using a Ledger device, you’re still responsible for the smart contract approvals you make. The device can’t determine the intent of the smart contract, it can only confirm the technical details of the transaction.

Your coins were sent directly to the OKX exchange. Contact your local police and the exchange they should be able to identify the culprit if they did KYC on the exchange.

Post the TX hash.

Which dapp did you interact with?

You got scammed, everyone else has already explained how. My only thoughts to add on would be contact OKX and the police and if you’re lucky they can get the assets frozen. Good luck mate I hope it works out for you, it’s an expensive lesson to learn

you must have approved the smartcontract to spend your USDC all your can do is revoke the approval. The money already withdrawn is gone.
you can use this dapp to revoke you approvals

Future of finance. Reality is crypto is flawed tech being pushed on the masses and not congruent with human nature at all. Tough lesson but bettr not to be involved at all. Good luck suing Ledger lol attorneys will want min 150K to even pursue it and Feds don’t give a shit. Just stay away from crypto and let crypto bros get wrecked.

It’s gone

Can you send the wallet address the funds got drained from?

What is the easiest way to remove anyone that has unlimited access to your USDC when you signed a previous transaction. I forget the way to check and remove this.

yeah, contact OKX. They wont even let you fart without KYC first, so they must know the identity of the address owner. Idk if they’ll do anything about it though.

i have a question

hey guys.
I have a quick question
I just send SHIB from Binance to Ledger nano X. As I had to select between bep20 and etc20 i took bep20, bc of the lower fees. The transfer was confirmed by binance but as i checked my ledger it hasn’t arrived.
What went wrong?
What can i do now?
thank you!!!
