It's disheartening to see these attack methods resurface once again 💔
⚠️ Key Protection:

I just got drained for $996,000 🧵
I’m honestly still processing that this happened and even writing it out feels completely unreal.
I just spent the last 24 hours looking into it, wiping out all my devices, and moving my files.
Part of me was considering whether I should even reveal this or not but let this be a good wake up call for everyone in this space regarding security, because if it can happen to me, with all my experience in this space, it can happen to anyone.
If my loss prevents this from happening to even one person, then it wasn’t all for nothing.
Not asking for pity, money, or anything. I know I made a mistake. Just want to help others.
