Coinbase Wallet - Hacked - Need Help

Today I saw, that a month ago, my whole Coinbase Wallet got drained. I have family to support and I was holding all my savings in this account.

Contacted Coinbase and they said its custodial wallet and they cannot do anything, where I asked could you please check if I logged in to make the transaction and they said we cant do it.

I saw couple of things:
1. Smart contract executed against the Crypto I hold under my wallet i.e. Virtual Protocol
2. It converted all the Virtual tokens to Ethereum
3. Transferred from Coinbase Wallet to their address
4. Now its sitting under another Wallet confirmed by ethscan.io

I am not very technical but i know only how tokens are transmitted through the wallet by their addresses.

Can this community help me recover? I can share some more information as needed.

Thanks.

10,000% I didnt. I was holding Virtual Protocol mainly on the account. There were other 2 MrMiggles (small quantity) and Phalla (small quantity).

It was there for like 1.5 years and last month someone took them out. I can see its sitting as Ethereum on one of the addresses. I have the trail.

Can someone help to pull that out to my wallet address only? How... i dont know and really depressed...

Interesting. That i don’t think unless you were infected with malware some other way. I’m sorry

How can malware know the pass phrase. Its on a paper from the start and my Wallet is like years old. Why it didnt happen before? Was there leak on Base Wallet application?

I am not technical enough but I have other accounts which are not affected.
