One day I fired up Metamask without the Trezor connected just to check the balances and saw they were at zero. The transactions happened when I wasn't using the computer. It's possible that it was even turned off when it happened. All my tokens were quickly swapped into USDT then moved to other wallets. My guess is whoever did it swapped it to Monero and disappeared without a trace.

Been using crypto for a decade without any incidents, until now. I've since wiped out my drive and reinstalled the OS from scratch. Also won't be using that Trezor again.

I was really counting on it to pay upcoming bills, so I'm in a bit of a bind right now.

I have put up one of my better domains for sale today in the Sell and Buy forum here. If anyone wants to check it out and maybe snag it I would be grateful. I'm letting it go for less than I would ever consider under normal circumstances. The quicker it goes the better.

I don't know if this is against the rules, I apologize if it is. At least I'm not asking for donations.

Well, maybe someone resolved the puzzle and was able to figure out the key/seed.

Crypto Wallets are not bulletproof (contrary to what some so-called 'geniuses' or fanatics of Satoshi tell you online), and as we have seen in thousands of cases during the last 10 years, there are groups scanning and trying to hack wallets 24/7.

The only truly bulletproof solution is having the money in a place that is monitored 24/7 and making sure nobody can get it. If the money is digital and online, someone can always reach it. (I'm referring specifically to crypto here, not broker accounts or bank accounts that have protection for your funds, etc.)
