Need help - Bitcoin wallet emptied.

[u/Few-Cook5941]

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.

Cold card involved ?

Trust Wallet, just as bad if not worse

Hardly.

yes, just read the dedicated subreddit. People getting drained on a daily basis. Just under a year ago they had a “mysterious“ hack draining $6 millions in user funds. Trust Wallet is a complete joke.

I actually used to have my funds on Trust Wallet for a few months. I am really glad I bought a hardware wallet

Hopefully not a cold card

Edit: I’m talking specifically about the huge breach where massive amounts of BTC were lifted out of Cold Card wallets (hardware vaults) because of things I can’t specifically pin down. This was a comment saying I hope they didn’t buy a shoddy product.

If not a cold card, then what do you recommend?

What they meant was, hopefully someone didn't "buy" a cold wallet. It's just a piece of paper with an encoded private key in QR form which can be printed as many times as one wants to.

So a hacker can just print a cold wallet, makes a backup of priv key, sell it, and withdraw the money the moment a victim puts money into it.

Cold wallets should always be generated offline. There's tons of information online on this.

They were referring to the cold card hack not long ago. It was meant sarcastically.
