MOVEMENT OF HACKED FUNDS
I'm not entirely sure how this happened but I'm pretty sure I've been hacked.
I am holding the funds for Coinomize and Yo!Mix Signature campaign, around $5,000 which is a lot of money here in the Philippines.
https://blockstream.info/tx/b7d7c5c5516c605bf76107d4f8984b581632df845ad2fceaf4dcfe788943620ehttps://blockstream.info/tx/7905f4f56cb80162152f1a211acb76312372eaa382bac063b5e571ee52d8c9aaI am using this version of Electrum 4.3.2 which I've downloaded from the official website.
I know this looks bad and would probably look as if I ran with the funds, but honest to God, I did not.
I am devastated and ruined and quite frankly pretty angry at how stupid I am for not using my hardware wallet (Ledger) and just relying purely on Electrum. Either this old version is corrupted or they got into my system.
To those who hacked my wallet and owned this address: bc1qd5chfxnqa7gvrvl6cmqcvcvu3rjsl9gwa2juz8 you should know that you ruined my life.
https://blockstream.info/tx/2793ed8971ca14ed86fb510db9996dd37e4de6793c643b534c5feada898e9a61I depend on this little hustle of bounty management to support the needs of my family.
Edit
As the first part above was just the thoughts pouring in to my mind that I had to post it immediately.
Here's some clarifications.
Again I am using Electrum 4.3.2. That wallet has been telling me to update itself but I neglected that info thinking the wallet is safe.
The 12 word pass phrase was never written on any document online. I wrote it down directly into my personal notebook. The password to it is also unique for which I have never used anywhere else.
The problem is my system had no anti-virus or whatsoever, it does have windows defender but now, I think that shitty app isn't doing anything. I got zero ping that someone is accesing my system. If I haven't been informed by Coinomize team that the funds were transferred, I wouldn't have notice it since the Electrum wallet was last openned four hours ago after the funds were transferred. Meaning, the wallet is offline.
I know all of you will not believe me but I will do everything I can to repay the lost funds even if it takes a while.
The Yo!Mix team and Coinomize team will probably post a scam accusation soon and rightfully so since I have no means to prove my innocence. I will accept whatever this community would think of me as I know this is all my fault for being so careless and stupid.
I've been in this forum since 2017 and I'm truly heart broken that this happened.

Stolen funds have now been transferred to a bunch of addresses which I assume is either a mixer or the hacker's collection point.
See here:

bc1q0r3fwzyrspdl34nsrxm5354wx96zsnfrt9nvmt is now connected to a wallet with a total of 17,606 addresses (according to:
https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/0008dcb537375e73/addresses)
[EDIT]
1/22/23 I've been informed that the addresses the hacker sent the funds to were apparently from ChipMixer. With that being said, tracing the stolen funds is now utterly useless.
Plans for repaying lost fundsMy plan is simple.
As I've previously mentioned on this thread, I've got a motorbike, probably cost around $1,000 if I sell it which I will. That should cover the lost funds for Coinomize ($1,000). Although it might take a while for it to get sold so I'll start sending whatever amount I can gather for now.
Also, a portion of my upcoming bounty management fees will be used to pay these debts that I now owe to Coinomize and Yo!Mix. For starters, I just launched another campaign yesterday for which I was paid $400 to manage it for 4-weeks (
here); I've already informed both project teams (Coinomize & Yo!Mix) that they'll be refunded with $150 each for now. I still need $100 for my family's expenses which isn't much but we will try and make do for the rest of the month.
Any means of additional income I get, a portion of it will be sent to these project teams. Signature payouts, management fees, etc.
The $320 BTC management fee from Yo!Mix that they've also sent upfront prior to the incident will also be returned to them today.
I just need both parties to confirm the BTC addresses they've given (through private messages) here on this thread so the whole community would know that I'm sending out refunds to correct wallet addresses and not to just some random wallet address that I made up.
