>Yeah no idea how it happened but that must have been it.

so it wasn't your wallet, a ledger wouldn't have saved you, having money on an exchange wouldn't have saved you.
the issue was you were involved in a lot of dapps and you traded into those dapps from your main wallet and one of those dapps fucked you in the contract.

the way to avoid this then in the future is to not fund dapps from your main wallet. if you're putting say $1000 into an app do it from a secondary wallet that you only put $1000 into.

i'm not too technical on any of this so correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't he have been safe if he did that?

A hardware wallet used properly should NEVER be signing any contracts. You hold your funds there and move small amounts to other wallets that you sign with.

Not how it works. Once you grant a third-party contract perpetual approval to spend your tokens it can do so at any time. Even if the contract initially appears legit, if it's update-able then it can be edited to swipe everyone's tokens at a later date. However, OP's approvals look okay - this was probably theft by malware and a hardware wallet would have prevented it.

Have you even read what that anon said you dummy dum, the point is that you should never use your hardware wallet for anything but cold storage.
Which means that you should never do anything with that wallet but send and receive, never approve any contract or sign any message whatsoever. Whenever you do you need to interact with a dApp, you then send funds from your cold storage to a burner wallet and then mint whatever jpeg or participate in whichever DeFi ponzi you want etc

Stuff like this should be absolute common knowledge with self custody, but people just don't care until they get fucked I guess

I get that if the contract is updated at a later date then any funds in that contract are at risk. But to be able to send tokens from the main wallet that you approved the contract from wouldn't you again need to sign with the device? Unless they somehow swiped you pk at the time of approval too.

Buy old thinkpad, replace Motherboard with nvme SSD compatible one, generate 20-word seedphrase locally and generate 500 derivative privatekey-address pairs.

Store all those locally and encrypted, use a USB to export 1 address at a time and import on your live machine only through privatekey, never with the master seed phrase. Hell, I'd advocate even deleting that altogether.

Keep the laptop turned off all the time unless you need to grab addresses off of it.

Keep 3 re-encrypted backups of the whole encrypted drive (should be only a few gigs) on a different laptop, a USB, an external SSD and 2 DVDs.

Linking it to metamask is the same as having it in metamask. It's probably not a bug. You probably have a keylogger installed on your browser that stole your metamask password or somebody found a zero-day to break through browser local storage security.

If you did the set up correctly (generated your seed phrase on the trezor and never typed them into your PC), there is no way for a hacker to take your coins. Even if he has full control over your Metamask, since your keys are not saved on your PC you have to connect the Trezor and push a button to approve the transaction.
Always check if the addresses are correct on your Trezor when you do a transaction. In theory a hacker could change the receiving address when you initiate the transaction in Metamask, however the Trezor shows you the receiving address so just double check if it is your address.

op believes he may have been screwed over by some dapp. in order to buy from a dapp he would have to move his money off gemini. in which case it's not gemini that saved him and he could have gotten the same effect just by keeping a cold wallet separate from his hot wallet. he was using his main wallet directly with the dapps is the issue not that he wasn't using a cex or ledger.

Don't fuck around with random websites that ask for your wallet permissions - if you must, do it on a fresh wallet with limited funds. Don't get malware - have working antivirus and adblockers like Ublock Origin and ABP always on. Don't visit shady foreign websites to pirate media unless you absolutely know what you're doing. Don't have your crypto passwords saved in plaintext on your PC, retard! Don't ever input your seed phrase unless you're recovering a wallet. Ideally use hardware wallets for an extra level of protection. Try to spread out funds among many wallets, so if one goes south, it's not your entire fund base.

Easy and many others have already said in this thread.

Have a PC that you use only for crypto trading and nothing else. Install Firefox with uBlock Origin and Metamask, no other extension whatsoever, and only use it to log into and browse exchanges (never give in to temptation to browse even sites like Youtube, Tradingview, Twitter or /biz/ on this machine out of laziness and convenience). I use an old laptop for this.
My seedphrases, passwords, PINs and keyfiles are stored in two (for redundancy) USB thumb drives encrypted with VeraCrypt, and also in an encrypted VeraCrypt volume uploaded to the cloud (don't feel totally comfortable doing this but need to have some kind of offsite backup).
If you're really paranoid or have millions in crypto, might also be a good idea to take another further step by never connecting your crypto PC to your shared home / office LAN. When you need to use it, disable wifi on your ISP router and connect your crypto PC directly to it with an Ethernet cable.

And never, ever, under any circumstances, do crypto or enter any crypto-related credentials on mobile devices. If you do this you're begging to get hacked.

My entire crypto net worth is less than $30k. It baffles me that fags with 10x, sometimes 100x more don't take these precautions.

All I know is that whenever I try to deposit BTC or ETH into my Trezor wallet, it always gives me the option to generate a new address. I don't think this is an entirely new wallet, it just creates a new deposit address for some reason, so if my keys were ever swiped it wouldn't matter. I'm quite certain it gives me the option to create multiple "hidden" wallets though using a secret phrase, and those are safe even if my keys get swiped as long as my secret phrase isn't compromised.

I would argue the biggest threat is phishing where you interact with a malicous dApp or you share your seed with someone. I would just get a hardware wallet, store your seed on paper (or one of those fancy metal tablets). Literally never share your seed and pay close attention to what URL you are on/what you are interacting with.

Should be simple and bulletproof.

You are begging to get rekt. Seedphrases should NEVER, EVER, EVER, be held in some digital format. You generate the seed in a HW wallet and maintain the seed via paper or titanium. You are over-complicating things and you will pay the price down the line.

Sorry this happened to you man. Wait for the 90+% crash and then buy ISO 20022 coins. Really shitty but with a few hundred bucks put in at the coming bottom you will be back above where you were. Keep your keys safe and (did you keep a digital copy of them or screenshot? Possible it was uploaded to a cloud someone else has access to? Have a bunch of shitty plugins on your comp? Sorry, not saying you are this stupids, just saying in case you made the mistake.) if you are working with that amount, you should have several hard and cold wallets you spread it across.

ive used 1 wallet(ledger) that holds my entire networth for 5 years, ive interacted with dozens(hundreds?) of the shadiest defi apps possible. no problems

signing transactions is safe unless metamask warns you its executing code and you just ignore the warning(ive never even gotten the warning tho)

it can only sign a message and nothing more

losing half your networth isnt even that bad, you'll get it back. i lost 80% because i fell for the 100k eoy meme and held all the way down. an expensive lesson, but you'll rebuild surely.

This kind of thing happens all of the time unfortunately. Metamask should require 2FA by default on all transactions. Also, use a MAC exclusively for your crypto. Fortunately there is a generous Candle Chain airdrop and bounty program right now, so you have a chance to make your money back with minimal effort. Also consider looking at other bounties on Bitcointalk. There is an entire board for them there.

e.g. you're in a project's discord and one of the team member's discord account gets hacked through phishing and then the hacker posts a phishing announcements, some kind of giveaway or sale.

It's good to make a distinction between hacking from phishing/social engineering and hacking from malicious code/contracts. The former is the most common, but the latter, even though it's much harder to pull off, can compromise the security of a good chunk of the crypto community. It's funny that people here are shilling hardware wallets since they're also known to having been hacked

Either you approved them on some contract that got exploited which you should be easily able to check by seeing if the transfer was initiated from your address or from another one or you got your keys stolen, possibly by a virus.

Isn't the chance that your house burns down or whatever higher than someone cracking your password on top of gaining access to your USB drive? Whereas someone would only have to steal your paper/plate and has access to your seed without having to go through another password.
