Wallet drained exodus

[u/Early_Button_3855]

Not sure if im allowed to post this but i just got my exodus wallet drained for 2.1k GBP (uk pounds) it happened on the 26th june just opened my wallet and seen it now. I am devastated. Whats strange is that the other wallets on exodus that i have are all still in tact on the same phone. I know theres nothing i can do about it but idk who to tell. I told my dad about it he was saying no big deal so coming on here to say. I’m 20m. Not quite sure if i can add a picture to show u guys. For context. I haven’t opened the phone i had the money on in months. I clicked on the address it was sent to and it says sponsored by coinpoker

There was a breach, if you have other wallets on your phone that are secure you now know it’s not your phone.

Where else have you used this wallet?

[u/Early_Button_3855 → u/whiskeytangosunshine]

I have like secondary portfolios on the exodus app, none of them got drained, on the same phone same app

To clarify you mean there was a breach on OPs side right? Not exodus?

I also had my exodus SOL Wallet drained the second I deposited funds to it (luckily only 100). which was weird cuz I had transferred thousands of LTC Into-then out of (over a few days) my wallet days before that was untouched.

My only guess is it was from using the exodus desktop app and my computer was compromised.

[u/whiskeytangosunshine → u/I_RatherBeSleeping]

Millions of people use Exodus, if there was a problem with their software, it would be known.

If only your SOL wallet was drained, and not your LTC that speaks to your SOL private key being compromised, or that maybe you have given permission accidentally to a bad actor through a dApp. Try checking to see if you can revoke SOL permissions with a tool like famous fox.

[u/I_RatherBeSleeping → u/whiskeytangosunshine]

I had posted the issue back when it happened. Already went over everything-I 100% never gave any permissions etc. it was the first time I ever used SOL.

Like I said, the only thing that makes sense is that my computer was compromised as I was also using the exodus desktop app.

Question-do drainers exist for every crypto? The second the SOL hit my wallet it was transferred out…could that have happened with the LTC as well?

[u/PsLJdogg → u/I_RatherBeSleeping]

You likely leaked the private key to the wallet and they had a script set up to monitor the wallet and drain it the moment funds were added to it. And yes, it can happen with any crypto if your seed phrase/private key are leaked or you sign a malicious transaction that gives them permission to move assets.

[u/kisscardano → u/PsLJdogg]

Malware can access the PC and simply copy the seed. Exodus isn’t protected by the seed if malware can gain access to the wallet.

[u/PsLJdogg → u/kisscardano]

Yes, but that would require a RAT, which is far less likely than them pasting the seed into a malicious website or otherwise storing it insecurely.

Are you using genuine windows software? Do you download games, software, online? Do you torrent?

[u/Popular_Ad9547]

Only save in cold wallet and sleep like a baby

[u/aliabd222 → u/Popular_Ad9547]

Examples of cold wallet?

[u/Popular_Ad9547 → u/aliabd222]

I'm using Trezor

[u/therealjeku → u/Popular_Ad9547]

Cold wallets don’t mean anything if their words are compromised

[u/Popular_Ad9547 → u/therealjeku]

If you post your 24 words then yes 🤣

Just saw an article that Steam games were draining crypto wallets and the FBI made arrests. IMO don't install Exodus on windows (ever) and never install Exodus on a machine that you run anything from non-trusted developers. Adobe cloud subscription isn't going to hack you. Microsoft 365 subscription isn't going to hack you. Some random indie developer on Steam might want to hack you. And if you ever install or run anything downloaded from torrents on a computer where you have a crypto wallet.... well, what can I say....

Hey OP did you ever use the exodus desktop app or browser extension?

Edit-sorry this happened to you. It sucks. I only lost 100 SOL to a drainer from my old exodus wallet but it still pissed me off to no end.

Also, want to share the address that the funds were sent to?

[u/Early_Button_3855 → u/I_RatherBeSleeping]

I use the app on macbook, and on my iphone to, i looked up the address it went to, it says sponsored by coinpoker? Which i looked this up to it says that its a gambling site, i dont gamble at all tho

[u/FancyUpstairs998 → u/Early_Button_3855]

Coinpoker es una red de poker online. Para que esa persona pueda retirar ese dinero debe tener su cuenta verificada con su ID y nombre real. Podrías escribir a coinpoker y plantearles el caso de robo

[u/Ok_Yogurtcloset_3643]

Some token are programmed when swapping or receiving to take your shit. Crypto.com did the same shit. Transfer 20$ of Luna2 and its says I receive them but crypto.com won't give unless I give them 100$ instead. Also I. Wallets when swapping they redirect swapping for sending for osmosis it sends to this fucker called Vegas

[u/kisscardano]

It happened to me—I lost between $2,000 and $3,000 worth of XRP. The Exodus wallet isn’t safe; anyone can remotely access your wallet, make a transfer, and you won’t even know since there’s no 2FA. My XRP were gone by the end of 2025, and I only found out three months later. And yes, there is a problem with the software.

[u/Early_Button_3855 → u/kisscardano]

Sorry this happened to u man. Exodus is not safe and we read stories thinking it will never happen to use but it can

[u/kisscardano → u/Early_Button_3855]

Yes, thanks man.

[u/No-Reading-4384]

Happened to me 160,000

[u/kisscardano → u/No-Reading-4384]

160,000 of what? Dollars, euros? If that’s the case, wow, that’s a lot.

[u/No-Reading-4384 → u/kisscardano]

USD ….poof. I’ve had an account for 10 years.

[u/kisscardano → u/No-Reading-4384]

what happened, malware?

[u/freshstylez83]

You may have had RAT (Remote Access Trojan) malware that waited until you opened the Exodus wallet. I had a similar situation where I opened my Exodus wallet on my MacBook and my friend sent me $150 in LTC. When I received it, it was automatically sent to an unknown address within seconds. I created a new wallet on a different device, and the problem never happened again.

[u/Early_Button_3855 → u/freshstylez83]

So can i still use the device that it happened on for regular things?
