Got my crypto hardware wallet drained, almost 6 figures gone - GoFuckYourself.com

Jarmusch · 11-29-2025, 08:30 PM

I still have no idea how it happened. It did not happen when I was using the hardware wallet, which was a Trezor.

I had the Trezor linked to Metamask to trade on DEXes like Uniswap, 1inch and Jupiter. I always access those sites through bookmarks, so I don't click on shady links or open typo domains.

One day I fired up Metamask without the Trezor connected just to check the balances and saw they were at zero. The transactions happened when I wasn't using the computer. It's possible that it was even turned off when it happened. All my tokens were quickly swapped into USDT then moved to other wallets. My guess is whoever did it swapped it to Monero and disappeared without a trace.

Been using crypto for a decade without any incidents, until now. I've since wiped out my drive and reinstalled the OS from scratch. Also won't be using that Trezor again.

I was really counting on it to pay upcoming bills, so I'm in a bit of a bind right now.

I have put up one of my better domains for sale today in the Sell and Buy forum here. If anyone wants to check it out and maybe snag it I would be grateful. I'm letting it go for less than I would ever consider under normal circumstances. The quicker it goes the better.

I don't know if this is against the rules, I apologize if it is. At least I'm not asking for donations.

I'm sorry mate, I know a few people that lost a lot of money with crypto hacking/stealing. The more early aou accept the situation, the better it is. Happens the best. All the best - it's just money, better that get hit by a bus right?

You are right, but with a hardware wallet where every transaction has to be signed on the device, it's not really something you expected. The seed was locked in a safe that no one else has access, not on some text file or image on my computer or phone.

It must have been a really sophisticated attack because I did not notice anything unusual. That or I'm just not as smart as I thought.

Thanks, guys.

Yeah I really liked the domain and had no intention of selling it. I hope I'm not delaying things by asking too much. You know how it is, you always think your stuff is worth more than it is. I can't edit the asking price now.

I put it on Namecheap Market, so whoever buys it will have it automatically transferred to their Namecheap account, hassle-free.

Use a proper exchange like kraken that has real security..

I'm not sure if you are saying the Trezor was part of the problem or not.

Sorry to hear it. Lots of us have been in a similar situation. Never lost crypto but have lost similar amounts not declaring, things at border crossings, day trading, in poker games , drunk at the craps table at the Palms, and other dumb shit. Just gotta wake up and be grateful you have the opportunity make it back through hard work.

Ouch, man... that sucks...

i've read trezor can mistakenly show a zero balance. did you verify on the blockchain? seedphrase compromised? i don't see how this happened if you have possession of your trezor and your seedphrase is not compromised.

Publisher Bucks · Yesterday, 11:48 AM

Could it have just bee changed from the token changing their name/symbol? This happened to me a few months back and that was the reason it showed a zero balance on Metamask. A few days later it updated to the new symbol and showed the correct amount of funds.

Jarmusch · Yesterday, 12:06 PM

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I wish it was a glitch showing zeroes, but it wasn't. The transactions are all there on the blockchains showing the swaps and transfers to random wallets.

I wasn't trying to give Trezor a bad rep. In fact, I might even buy another Trezor. I just won't use this one again, just in case.

I'd really like to know if i can't trust my Trezor now.

I lost money in a wallet back in 2021, and it put me off crypto... there are just too many hackers, scammers, and thieves in that space.

I'm sorry for your loss.
