Anyone think this thread may be a lie?

Honestly who stores 550k worth of coin in an insecure location? If you got that cash, surely you would have invested in very secure cold storage.

Looks like a hardware wallet manufacturer is spreading a FUD, to remind people to buy their wallets

maybe he not really focus when do that, but ya use public wifi to open important things like some account, banking activity is totally mistake. for OP sorry for your loss and you must get learn some lesson from this problem

My purses all two-factor authentication. If someone tried to login my account I would receive a text. That's why I think online wallets are more secure. Last week I received an SMS that someone tried to login to my account on CEX. But they didn't work.

And what if the domain itself gets hacked, the sever gets corrupted for some reason or a ddos attack takes place? In that case you you've (temporarily) lost your assets and there's nothing you can do about it. If you're storing half a million dollars worth of crypto at least take some precautions.

it seems that you are exposed to the hacker traps, by indirectly breaking into the identity of all forms of bitcoin and altcoin, I am sorry, I hope your money lost can be replaced in the next month or this week ..

malicious WIfi is the most probably the reason you dont have anything now. It is so bad and i am so sorry for that, unfortunately there is no way how to get coins back Sad

But I don't get it, where is your private keys stored. I was told that if one is using hard ware wallet that the private keys do not leave the hard wallet.

For me with that huge portfolio you should ahve bought one hard ware wallet at least

use trezor/ledger nano s or KeepKey, safest and the only way how I store my coins...

Buy, sell and store real cryptocurrencies

I am sorry for your losses, $500,000 is a huge amount and thinking of it hurts.
Thank you for the warning, I will think twice before connecting to public website.

Does anyone know whether a hardware wallet will be safe in this case?

If the wallet was blockchain.info I believe it's not its fault. Yet where did you keep all these coins you mentioned? Were those different wallets or even an exchange website? Maybe you just entered your password on the clone of legit website? Jeez, I don't know what happened here but it really sucks. Was anybody else hacked on the wallet(s) you used? If yet then you could try filing a complaint to FBI online if the owner of the wallet is known. Tell us more about your story, maybe something can be done...

use ledger nano s/ trezor - the safest way how to store your coins !!!

Oh man that is awful. I'm so sorry for you to have lost all that. I would really recommend everything everyone else has already said but would highly emphasize getting a trezor or other offline wallet to avoid this from happening again

Very unfortunate, but storing such huge amount on a mobile and using public wifi, very careless. Hopefully everyone learns a lesson from this and be more cautious.
Mobile wallets are the least safe I think, especially when on travel.

Any more info? Were you using a VPN? Any experts out there care to chime in, would using a VPN have stoped something like this?

I suggest anyone out there reading should turn 2FA for their gmail accounts, or even better U2F which gmail allows.

NO! it would not help. . .
dont connect to the internet with a computer that has Private keys on it!!!
you can lose it simply by connecting to malicious site that offers ICO or something
any file you download can be malicious

Thanks but that only works if you're holding your coins for a long time. What do you do if you want to trade?

$ 550K is a big number. I guess you're not lucky bro. I hope you can get better in the future.
