Alle meine Krypto-Assets sind gestohlen

I still do not understand why people simply do not read/understand how it works…. It says DO NOT MAKE A PHOTO / STORE YOUR SEED ANYWHERE ELECTRONICALLY! It defeats the whole purpose of the cold wallet. Your seed was stolen simply because you did have a picture of it on you hard drive.

Where did you store the photo of your seed? Your computer is probably compromised… you should reinstall it and change the passwords of your cloud storage.

God bless your heart man. Tough learning experience. Time heals.

That was an expensive lesson you learned.

And a nice Xmas gift for the thief.

Next, I suggest you read and the instructions, and that you study the basics of cryptos and wallets before using a ledger.

Anyone who has access to your seed phrase can take all your cryptos, they don’t need your ledger. Your cryptos are stored on the blockchain, not in your ledger. Only your seed phrase is stored in your ledger!!

Did you compromise your recovery phrase? Sign a malicious transaction?

Tell us exactly how you generated and securely stored your recovery phrase.

There’s no way to recover your crypto, however you provided no details so maybe Ledger Live is just glitched.

Sorry for you man

Sorry for your loss dude – it’s a hard lesson to never store your seeds online. Just out of curiosity, how do these hackers get access to his iCloud? Do they guess or brute force, or install malware ? In the case of OP, would a simple spyware check have helped him? How do they even find the picture, do they manually sift through?

Just super interested in this stuff if you have any resources or documentaries please share !! Thanks

Hi! We’re sincerely sorry to hear that. I see below that you have stored your recovery phrase in the Cloud which is something you should absolutely not do.

Recovery phrases should always be kept on offline supports, and never ever entered (even encrypted) in a computer or in a phone. Please check our dedicated article to learn what are the best practices to secure a recovery phrase:

yeah don’t store the seed phrase online, or in a picture, don’t even have your phones camera looking towards the seed phrase, ever, never

Looking at the value of my portfolio right now I also would have assumed someone stole from it. Joke aside, sucks when it happens. Someone I know lost almost $1M from getting his e-mail hacked and then fooling crypto.com to unlock his account. There are so many ways to steal crypto unfortunately… 😔

Sorry for your loss. I think this kind of recurrent event can be prevented by Ledger itself having a warning on the seed phrase cards saying: „!!!Never take a picture of this card or your funds coud be compromised!!!“

Every single day… Can’t you read? Jesus Christ, you made your own bed.

How many of these threads have to exist before people start taking proper security and setup steps seriously? I mean, they literally provide you with a physical paper card for your recovery key and instruct you during setup to write it out there. People explicitly ignore this crucial step and then wonder why they got robbed.

I’m really sorry for you, I truly am and that is a tragic loss. I just hope this post acts as a wake up call to the thousands of Ledger /hardware wallet users that are improperly storing their keys. If you have it stored digitally, it’s only a matter of time before it’s stolen and your funds drained. You’d be better off leaving it on an exchange with 2fa enabled.

Damn mate Sorry to hear that, but why tell hell you take a photo to your phase. You got alsmoat 200 Pages to write and kepp safe.

Transfering 10k+ worth of usdc in ledger wallet without understanding it was a big mistake.

> I have stored it in my drive, a photograph of it

There you go. You shouldn’t have done that, but did, and this is the price you pay. Its a lot of money, good luck rebuilding.

I don’t understand how ~~you~~ people can be this stupid, but ok.

I have and haven’t finished set up cause I’ve read a bunch on how you should really use a computer that that’s all you do with it.

Ooof rip dude.

What’s the etherscan txn.

Metamask? DeFi stuff? Some kind of NFT fuckery?

The only question here is: who had access to your ledger/pin and who had access to your seed.

I read that you shouldn’t purchase a ledger through other vendors via Amazon because it could be compromised. Also that it’s better to purchase directly from ledger. I’m wondering where you bought the ledger and if this was the reason or someone hacked your computer.
