Yesterday, someone also said the metamask was hacked. I do not understand why this case occurred. But there could be two possibilities: first, there is a metamask that actually clones so that it forces new users to install it. Second, your PC or laptop is infected with malware which can take your privkey, mnemonic, etc when you want to log in. Do not install suspicious software. Hopefully this makes us more careful.

I installed the original metamask and it was 3 months ago. i really can't move from this wallet

Why not if the same thing will happen over and over again?
Send them all to a new created address or else this will not stop.

Oh by the way, Why the hell is your hacker not getting everything in your account?
Have you ever wonder what if someone is joking around your circle of friends or your family members.

Did you download some software that isn't familiar to you? maybe a malware was installed on your PC. And the amount that was sent to that address was already traded on hitbtc.

If you didn't do that transaction, you should transfer all the other balances to another wallet.

but I have too much game assets

Metamask instantly integrates with many sites and you might have pushed the submit button as the address and amount are already filled by the site while you only need to push the submit button. It may also be hacked by someone/some adware recording your screen or your keystrokes. Or you could also be using a counterfeit metamask if you didn't downloaded it from the chrome webstore.

I think this is OP's case. I experienced this before I have several eth to other addresses several times. Upon checking, when your online metamask automatically connect and those unfinished transaction is being prompt to you. When you click, a transaction is being processed.

I don't like metamask for one reason, its a browser plugin that is what makes it dangerous to use, normally browsing the internet without antivirus you will quickly be a victim of viruses and spyware not to talk of keeping your coins in a addon crypto wallet

It's impossible to hack metamask and I never heard the news the metamask is hack, I guess you downloaded a software with a virus in it or maybe hackers knows your private key. You better to create a new wallet and should scan your computer with anti virus.

No matter how you look at it, your ether balance was around 0.24ETH as at the time you claimed.
Hackers will not leave any balance in your account when they hacked it.

Just think of the transactions you made because metamask can not be hacked unless you give out your wallet details.

And I have other wallets in that account too. and what to do with the game assets? At the beginning of the journey i was scammed, before 3 days I lost much btc. Now I am afraid of this. I didnt sleep

I just saw this transaction that I didn't make myself. Does my metamask is hacked? I have 8 address in that account. and nothing is touched after that txn https://etherscan.io/tx/0x359dd6b8154e7711d9e21ad5520ceba687f58619d87a7a77dd66c5b103124d3a

Are you certain that it wasn't your own doing? It's been 22 days ago, but you've just realized the transactions now? I mean, I get that you might be the kind of person who doesn't like to regurally check their wallet, but really. Try to remember it again. Either you've been hacked, or you forgot something, or... it might be a similar app as metamask you've installed on your pc.

I think this friend's hacker was kind of friendly. He just chose to get as much ETH as he needed. Or should I say steal?

I think has someone access your wallet.Do you give someone a private key?
If you don't give PK for someone so certainly your wallet has been hacked because metamask is a secure wallet.
There are many ways a hackers to hack our device.

This happened 22 days ago and now you realize that your metamask has been hacked? hmm maybe there was a mistake from you or you clicked wrong or you installed an unknown application so that it triggered phishing to enter your computer, I have been using Metamask for a long time but it rarely happens like this.

I don't know why people are using metamask on their pc when there can easily be problems like hacks, viruses and malwares, i use my pc for gaming and i don't game online but i used to reformat my pc few times because of trojans, somethings it just start acting weird, pc wallets is a big bad idea

I am not sure about this but if that account is really hacked then why are you still sending some ETH in your wallet ? then transfer it again to another wallet.
If you are sure that you are not the one who transfer the balance you should transfer the reamaining balance to secured wallet and dont ever use that wallet again.

Metamask is a very secure wallet. It's very unlikely that if there was a breach it was from their end. Chances are the transaction was effected from your own end, either because your device was compromised or someone physically sent it(which is very possible if you use password autosave).

Why you just realized now, it's a long transaction, and you should know from scratch because it's your wallet and sure every day the wallet is used for transaction purposes, I used Matamsk long ago and no such incident It sends by itself.

First time I hear report that Metamask has been hacked. Remember your transactions because maybe you were the one whove done it. Remember, the transaction was done 22 days ago. Maybe you made transfer crypto for trading. If indeed you are hacked make sure to make necessary security check so as not to include your other linked accounts.

maybe you accidentally press send button when there's a request demanding for BTC maybe in the past you want to buy something with BTC? It makes zero sense to think that you just conscious of a transaction that you haven't done sending money to someone else after 22 days. Or if possible maybe there's someone close to you that knows or have access to your wallet?

Metamask is 99.9% unhackable unless it is your computer that has been compromised. You will need to be careful and do some investigation of your own. That transaction might be from you if you check well

Not true. You can get a malware that replace the address everytime you copied everything and then you can accidentally losing your cryptos or even keylog that record all your seeds.

This isn't acceptable news, metamask isn't hacked you could install something virus software. Or you didn't visit legit site. Phishing extension could scam your money. But I strongly suggest you to move all your Ethereum.
