I was surprised why hacker didn't cashout. May be 2FA.
But biggest surprise was phishing link received after certain amount reached. Could hacker potentially be scanning wallet and only trying to scam for bigger account?
Do share some of your achievements online such as social media or group of friends because that might be the reason for you to become a target no one can target you if you are descreet on your account. Stake has a lot of players actively playing so doing this kind scam attempt is very hard to believe.
You will not be hacked if you check carefully the email regardless if the Stake itself or some hacker sent it to you since your account will not be compromised if you protect it well. This stroy of yours is a good worning to be vigilant on phishing attempt via email but not the point of doubting Stake credibility for potentially being involved on this malicious scam attempt just because you are near to rank up your vip level.
