Last night I was hacked. The hack was delivered via WhatsApp payload. Downloaded automatically and gave access and or computer use to the attacker. They waited 5 days, following my tweets on X of short positions and closed everything and withdrew directly in one transaction from Hyperliquid > Metamask > Tornado Cash. The attacker waited patiently and closed shorts as the market got to 68k and withdrew everything. Clearly a crypto native attacker. They also gained access to my metamask, email, websites, and all of my passwords including X. It’s the most brutal thing as I kept everything over the past few days in crypto and on-chain off Coinbase/Kraken. I was planning to move funds back to my Revolut before Christmas time. Every single penny in dollars was taken, apart from $800. It’s gone, and in the process of being washed. Truly the most devastating day I’ve had in my life. Completely shocked by it all to be honest. I will recover, but this was very sophisticated tech, it caught me completely off guard. The timing was impeccable and it’s obviously been planned for a while. Stay safe everyone, will keep you updated. I fear the worst is to come and this incident has set me back many years of savings, time and hard work. Brutal.
