This thread got archived before I had a chance to ask anything. see: Basically user was saying he had developed and sold a phishing exploit. I’m not sure if he was Larping or not but I’ve gone and bought a Trezor Model T right after I read that thread.
There’s a few days until it gets delivered so I’ve done the following to try and protect myself in the meantime:
>delete all other extensions >log out of MM >disable metamask extension >reset chrome >do a full system scan by Norton
I’m thinking of not connecting to the internet for a few days. Is this going to far or can I just use a different browser instead while I wait? My private keys and mnemonic phrase are not on the computer or stored electronically.
Have I done enough/is there anything else I can do anons?
model t is dogshit, either get the trezor one or get a ledger if u want a bunch of features. if ur stack is big enough, i would get new hard drives before setting up ur trezor

>Obviously use an airgapped pc and generate tx offline before uploading to net attached pc to broadcast. No one should even own crypto who doesn't know this shit.
fucking lmao

I did a bit of research after reading that thread. It is technically possible to do what OP said. I’ve also seen a rise in hacks over the last few months. Of course some of that might be the end user doing retarded things but I thought it would be better to have a hardware wallet for long term safety. I’m just wondering what else I can do in the meantime to protect myself. Getting a bit paranoid
The model T has more features than the Trezor one and the biggest selling point for me was the touchscreen interface so I don’t have to worry about keyloggers. I thought Trezor interacted better with Metamask too
I have 5 hardware wallets, a laptop which has never downloaded anything other than google chrome and stays disconnected from the internet unless i'm making a trade, a safe and my private keys burried in a glass bottle in an undisclosed location.
You will never get my money hackers. This is what getting my rune legs scammed in primary school has made me.

Do you guys remember the one guy who said he experienced something like this?

You'd have to go on the phishing website then sign a tx allowing a contract to spend funds on your behalf

You jest but I actually learned all about viruses and keyloggers from getting keylogged by clicking some link in an RSToolkit chat room

I'm not jesting.
I would never keep more than 10k on a single wallet. Who would do that?

There is a new hack which can use quantum computer to analyze the digibits and electrical frequency of the pixels on a particular screen. For example, I want to know the IP and gain access to the an user's post here on Zig Forums. I run my program and draw a box over the entire rectangular post. Then, I get all the users information uploaded through the trillions of electrical components which make up the screen for that user. All of that persons data gets instantly transferred to my computer by the power of my inconceivably powerful program. Literally it's been working perfectly on here.

if hackers are so smart why dont they just hack satoshi

There was a thread a few weeks ago where an user lost $350k doing exactly that.

>Who would do that? someone who isnt poor? 10k is literally nothing in crypto terms, there are people who have millions in a single wallet
Juan Roberts
How could they hack into a MM if they don’t have the pass-phrase?
Blake Cook
All of this is just a larp to get ppl to buy hardware wallets

People having millions of dollars in a single wallet, doesn't mean they aren't imbeciles. A guy lost millions of dollars a month ago because he had millions on a single trezor that was compromised. If you aren't smart enough to see how an 80$ security investment for every 10-50k you have is a good idea, you deserve to lose.
i have literally every password to any account stored on my computer or saved on my browsers. if someone were to hack even one thing on my computer, they'd basically have access to my bank accounts, my crypto, my email, my damned porn accounts for christ's sake. I don't give a fuck and I will literally never do any kind of security measures. If i lose, i lose. i'll take it like a man and move on. bunch of pansy faggots.
look into what the top public crypto users are doing, also owning a couple separate cold storage wallets wouldn't hurt. Don't be paranoid it'll eat you alive user, just don't click stupid shit and don't download stupid shit and you're good.

>80$ security investment for every 10-50k thinking of getting 2nd Ledger Nano X. one per 10k. first one to my door was like in the $130 range. so like 1.30 or 1.40% per 10k investment. sounds good next best thing would be some weird crypto insurance you pay for.
Thomas Perry
Why don’t you fuck off you shit cunt. I’m asking a legitimate question and here you are shitting up the board. If you think it’s unnecessary then are you willing to cough up the money if I do get hacked? If not then piss off.

Most of you plebs make it for hackers too easy. Some of you retards don't even use a virus scanner and some of you are so stupid by using their daily e-mail account for crypto.
>1. Get a decent virus scanner >2. Get a firewall >3. Get Keyscrambler >4. Use a VPN >5. Don't use any other third party browser addons than metamask >6. Don't store your password in a txt file >7. Use tools like keepass to store your passwords and use a key file and a decent password to protect that database >8. Use 2F Authentication where ever it is possible
>AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: READ THE FUCKING SMART CONTRACT! Some of you plebs literally allow hackers to move your funds out of your wallet.
Set allowance to 0 for all crypto wallet related pages if you do not use them anymore! There are pages like tac.dappstar.io/ where you can do that if you are too stupid to do that yourself.

yes, it is my understanding that the eth-theif known as fourchan is in fact behind over 9000 proxies and you are helpless to prevent any funds being removed from your wallet. ggwp but might as well kiss your eth goodbye now. maybe you should just start buying books instead of fake internet money if you want to be taken seriously going forward.
