THREAD! How I got hacked for $40,000 - $45,000 USD worth of ETH & assets:
Yesterday was easily the worst day of my life... I had been building my @opensea account for a couple months now and was able to own multiple assets of value. Some of these include @BoredApeYC ....

... @themetakey and @BoredPunkYC. I went to log onto my OpenSea account like any other day. I @Google search "Opensea" and see this: ...
... Now I know it says "AD" right on it, but seeing the giant green check mark beside it from my security @Bitdefender didn't make me question it at all:
I clicked on it without thinking like I would any other day...

At this point I'm on a website that looks identical to @opensea and the @MetaMask @MetaMaskSupport pages:
I log in like I normally would (I switch between devices occasionally so it wasn't odd for it to be asking me to log-in because it has in the past).

Minutes after that I get many Discord notifications from the @BoredApeYC community asking me what's going on. I then went onto my @opensea account to see all 4 of the apes I had (7763, 4550, 6827, 3116) were gone along with me MetaKey edition 3:

I have contacted @Google @GoogleAds @Bitdefender @MetaMaskSupport @MetaMask @opensea and even a lawyer to try get at least some money back so I'm not left with nothing. However, all of them have told me there is nothing they can do...
I am sick to my stomach and it's hard to have to same passion I had for this space from before this happened, but I'll get there. I will be taking the measures to avoid this from happening again and I strongly encourage everyone to make the $150 cold storage purchase...

For everyone asking here is the Etherscan to the hacked account:

Please keep in mind I had sent around 5 or so NFT's to my friend near the end of the hack to save them from being taken. I also managed to send ~$200 USD to a different wallet of mine.
