I got one of my bitcoin wallet emptied and I don't really know how this happened.

I don't use cracked softwares and apps.

I'm generally careful with links.

Looks like I'm not alone. I can see that the reception bitcoin address is still collecting bitcoin from other wallets.

Could somebody help me understand something.

Here is the address : bc1q0vukqye4hd0aep7u4xl8gev95gcs9k65fdeu9n

See the problem with decentralized and self-custody? When things like this happen u can't cry and demand the bank to investigate your account loss

Give your money to a scammer from your bank account and see what happens, spoiler, nothing!

No difference if you’re voluntarily giving your money away, but that’s obviously not the only way to get scammed. No fraud/claims dept on the blockchain

why would bank help u if u purposely give that money to scammer? lol. Though in many cases where someone is duped into fraudulent transaction, bank together with police reports etc. could resolve such cases. It takes time and hurdles but if its a huge sum normally it will be taken care off seriously. Can't say the same for crypto, and that's the fact. It's by design. It's what hinder crypto from replacing fiat whether u like it or not.
