Ah I see, I assume you stored your wallet passwords in your computer in an unencrypted file? Guess it’s meangingleas if it was recording your key strokes. Anyways a hardware wallet would of mitigated this situation entirely, good luck in the future n sorry for your loss

This. Postal workers don't know anything about crypto or devices.....yet. I wouldn't be surprised if mail theft of crypto hardware gets more common when the moon happens. Back to OPs question. Bruh buy a hardware wallet if yu ahve more than $500 in crypto.
