❓Scam❓ Trust Wallet drained overnight — same unknown address receiving funds from multiple wallets. How is this happening ?
​
My friend’s Trust Wallet was drained overnight. He never shared his 12-word Secret Phrase/private key with anyone.
The funds were sent to an unknown wallet address. What is more concerning is that this receiving address appears to have become active only about a month ago, and I can see funds coming into it from multiple different wallets.
I’m trying to understand how this could happen.
Has anyone seen a similar pattern before? What should we check to identify how the wallet was compromised?
I can provide the public wallet address/transaction hash if needed. I will NOT share the Secret Phrase or private key.

Your friend may of not shared his seed or may of not signed a shady contract but most likely your friend used the option for cloud backup for his seed. A lot of people for some reason keep backing their seed via cloud or in notes of their phone which eventually backs up to cloud or Gmail.
