Well, this time I am also a victim... I had 0.00174788 BTC ($191.96) stolen by @getAlby. It was stolen because this is Alby's custodial account. I am shocked because I was definitely unaware of this damn protocol...
I guess they would send me an email notification, and sure enough, on 2025/5/1, I received one:
Updates to our Terms of Service – Please Review
At the bottom of the email, I found this "theft protocol":
An inactivity fee will apply to legacy Alby Accounts with a shared wallet created in 2023 or earlier, if there has been no account activity for 12 consecutive months.
Then my BTC was stolen on 2025/5/26...
What an eye-opener...🤯😵💫😱
What is the dark forest? This is one of them. I've also written about other pitfalls I've encountered in the black book. Without so much frontline hustle... it's hard to resonate with my loss friends... 😭
I got it back, but didn't follow the official required steps.
