On Saturday hackers stole my 375,000 worth of NFTs and crypto tokens from two of my Ethereum wallet. Before I start I know how stupid I was $375k worth of stupid, I put my private keys and seed phrase in text files on my Mac's filesystem, that is a bad idea. I didn't use a hardware wallet for high value assets.

What Happened?
Hackers found METAMASK & TRUST WALLET ETHEREUM PRIVATE KEYS on my Mac's and use them to login to OPENSEA and sell off everything they could for WETH , then they transferred all the WETH and other tokens

I have also lost my asset by putting my private key one airdrop actually we cant understand sometimes what we are doing and what we want to do so we should always avoid free airdrop or free token now too much smart from investor and normal trader so have nothing to just time. I want to say ethorium should make google authentication kay for all addresses then can it secured.

I understand correctly that hackers used your wallet to sell your NTF tokens on OPENSEA only then started transferring tokens to other wallets?
This is the most interesting moment in this story, because hackers usually transfer all tokens and coins immediately to other wallets and then sell the tokens.

Will there be proofs?
What is your Mac model?

You may get trapped by phishing or fake link. How is it possible for the hacker was hijacking your mac filesystem if you're not doing something wrong with it? I guess you're also storing all of your privatekey in one place. You should at least spread it into the various folders or store it on your USB. The problem is there's no protection for your privatekey.
I were using keystore instead of privatekey when storing my wallet. Im sorry for your lost but that's big amount of money.

I guess the hacker was sending it on their cex address.

Huge amount like that should've been hand with care.
People with lots of funds/assets in Crypto should try to avoid having single key for accessing their funds. They could split the funds in multiple parts and store their keys in seperate places so they don't lose everything if a thief finds part of the keys. Or they could use mutisignature feature to keep the assets decentralized and secured.

I really wonder what it is to keep your property as well as your personal computer safe for such a large sum of money.
No matter what, I see that you are not really serious about your own money, and maybe this will be a lesson for you in this field.

I'm kinda confused for you loss as that is an expensive lesson to learn, hopefully you didn't spend $375k on them or that wasn't worth that much to you because that seems like a lot to lose to a hacker when $80 could've saved you.

Do you know how the hackers got onto your mac and if they're still there?

That's probably more important than what the actually did if it was private keys they were after and sent you a phishing mail or something.

Mac is not a hack proof and this is another proof for that.

I don't know how long you have been here in the crypto sector but even the one who have few hundred dollars worth of crypto assets concerned about their private keys but you let all those funds in a text file which can be accessed multiple ways with or without physically touching the device where it got stored.
