Topic: Stolen ETH from my Ledger - page 4. (Read 1491 times)
I did all the updates of Ledger Nano S only with the Ledger Live application. I don't even read or use any SMS, e-mails or links offering updates for any computer's hardware&software.
Im going to ask....
Did you recently do a ledger update?
If yes (last 6 weeks) Was this from within ledger Live software or did you get notification elsewere to update it?
There have been attacks where they send you email or sms or dm and inform you about a new version. This is actually malware attack. Only ever update Ledger from within the Ledger Live software itself.

Wow, big amount. Really sorry for your loss...
Now some lessons:
1. The funds were not stolen from your Ledger since they've never were there. Ledger basically only signs transactions, the funds are "on the network".
2. In order to have your funds stolen, some conditions have to be met. Either the thief had access to the seed, which I think that's not the case, either he has found a way to trick you and your Ledger. So you should think about this:
2.1. Did you install the ETH app into Ledger from the correct Ledger Live app or you have a malicious clone?
2.2. Did you make your transaction from from the correct Ledger Live app or you have a malicious clone?
2.3. Is your computer malware free?
2.4. Did you try to cash in coins from a forked coin (I don't know if it's the case for ETH, still...)
2.5. Was the wallet created by you newly, from scratch, when you got your Ledger?
The idea is that probably you gave somebody the chance to steal from you, in a way or another
3. For the future keep in mind to keep on the hardware wallet only funds for near future spending and the HODL funds should stay on addresses based a different seed you can generate with the Hardware wallet, but written down and kept as paper wallet (while the hardware wallet is reset for a new seed).

The way things are, I advise not to use even the same network as your personal computer if you need to use a cold hardware wallet for transactions. In few years to protect yourself you will need to have at least 5 different networks, right now 2 is okay, 1 is dangerous.
With crypto rising in price, this is a totally new area of cyber attacks.

I never store any passphrases for Ledger on my PC.
I have traded with Ledger many times and always carefully. It was probably some hacking attack on my PC, unknown to me. I thought Ledger was safe ...
The computer you use for ledger must not in any way be your personal computer with tons of programs and things. Also never put your eggs in just one basket. Maybe it was not even your fault, malware, virus and phishing attacks are very advanced, sorry for your loss, it was a lot of money.
I think you write down your ledger passphrase on your pc and some one claimed your passphrase.

Do you have any idea how you lost?
Hello
386.5 ETH was stolen from my Ledger Nano S
8 days ago(Dec-08-2020 01:16:28 PM +UTC) During the transaction of sending 0.17 ETH to the Bitbay exchange account via Ledger Live, it soon turned out that instead of the declared value, the entire cryptocurrency disappeared from my account and was sent to the hacker account 0x453E0c72664AcE9531b995a23b956873D7C777f8.
Today, a few hours ago(Dec-17-2020 02:57:27 AM +UTC) all my cryptocurrency has been transferred to another hacking account again - 0xdA84772B737939Df44367e57D40069801CA5b7F8
I lost all cryptocurrency from my account even though all transaction procedures were shown in the Ledger Live app and hardware wallet display as correct. I have no idea how it could have happened and I lost all hope of recovering the stolen cryptocurrency. I wanted to warn all Ledger owners about the possibility of losing their cryptocurrencies.
