About a 5 weeks ago my Metamask/Brave wallet was hacked for 2 eth…had not even opned either wallet for several months prior…no other crypto activity either…contacted both Brave & Metamask…asolutely not help….just accused me of poor stewardship of keys, etc…so wondering if anyone else has had similiar issues…never understoon why, when I set up the Brave wallet it used the same SIP as my metamask and was always linked in a strange way…have had the Brave wallet for a couple of years but never put much in it…havd had the Metamask wallet sinc 2019…never much in that either…put most coins onto a Ledger over a year ago…seems there is something strange somewhere but no one “in authority” at Brave or MM wants to disuss this…
Hello, sorry to hear this happened to you. When did you contact Brave? Do you have a previous ticket number?
Typically, scams and phishing can occur a few ways:
-
Signing a malicious transaction
-
Downloading a malicious third party extension or app
-
If your recovery phrase or private keys have been compromised or provided to someone
-
Copying/Pasting a similar address or potentially becoming a victim of address poisoning
EDIT: It appears we have an open DM with you already and have not heard back since our most recent reply. Please feel free to reach back out through the DM if you would like to discuss any further. Thanks!
