The past XX hours I've been battling a complete computer compromise that ended up with a loss of ETH and BTC assets from different wallets. Unfortunately, this lead to $100k+ in purchased digital assets being lost, including my pfp.
After doing some research and doing some back tracing I believe this exploit is related to a Zoom interview where the guest asks you to screen share so you share information about your project while they somehow are able to gain access to your computer. The interview was conducted with the interviewers screen turned off.
The person who interviewed me has a large social media presence, with some mutual followers, and I have ensured that all accounts links match up from our previous communications.
Within XX hours of the interview all of these exploits began to take place.
Before I provide more information on who I believe the culprit may be, or if its something different I'd like to talk with any security experts to help asses the situation. Can't be totally sure this is the cause until somebody with more knowledge and resources can help me identify the issue. @zachxbt
In the past XX hours a hardware wallet (that was signed into the ledger desktop app), a bitcoin web extension wallet, my twitter account, and gmail have been accessed and exploited.
This is my compromised wallet on ETH: 0x1Fe026F91200CaC4dc5aC5Af7814808CEcba1836
This is my compromised wallet on BTC: bc1p7ntehzvzm8e6r5nw0rrfmnerk7ryf6ws8gnf6dkxpk0njqzfqlps3t2vy5
They gained access to my twitter account and sent out a few DMs before I was able to change the password to my X account, gmail, and everything else.
I'm pretty devastated that this happened. Lost some of my most prized possessions. Obviously, its a bit embarrassing as well being in the industry for so long. But we will bounce back.
Stay safe out there.
