Monero stolen from my Cake Wallet
Hi All,
I'm writing here as a last attempt to either fix or understand what the heck happened.
Yesterday I logged into my Cake Wallet and was shocked to see this
As you can see from the screenshot above, my wallet's been hacked and funds have been transferred out. I tried reaching out to CakeWallet support, but they couldnt really give me any answers. I tried restoring my wallet to the mobile version and rescaning. 5 hours later i see this
Notice how the 2 Sent transactions are different amounts... pretty strange. can someone explain this?
Here is the Transaction on monero Explorer:
I don't really understand any of it. Maybe someone can shed some insight on anything like those stealth addresses
I am still in shock at how this person managed to get into my wallet. I checked everywhere to see if I had stored the 16 word phrase anywhere like my email or my pc or phone. Turns out I found a txt file of my 16 word phrase in my documents on my PC. I must have created that a long time ago and forgot about it. Rookie mistake. However, this would mean that he gained access to my files on my PC? I am so careful on what I download or click. I really don't understand how this happened. This would mean my PC is compromised and i should format it? I have a lot of stuff and 3 Drives in my PC, should i format all 3? it would mean a lot of work on my end. Can anyone share what the best course of action is here? Thank you
