I set my Metamask wallet up to be a chrome extension on my computer yesterday and someone hacked into it and stole all of my coins/tokens. The thing is, I'd just signed up for a program where you create nodes thru Strongblock and get paid passive income to host that node on the ethereum network, meaning that node is connected/Affiliated with your wallet. There is no reversing it and you have to have the node associated with a wallet. Now that the MM wallet has been hacked, what should I do?Huh?
Unfortunately, there is no way to recover your coins because transactions in the blockchain are generally considered irreversible if several confirmations have already taken place. Regarding the reasons hackers were able to break your wallet, it is not easy to identify the problem and how that exactly happened because you have given us too little information. For example, did you check if strongblock domain was genuine? It may be you have fallen victim to a phishing website that steals sensitive user information or makes you sign fake transactions. How do you store your Metamask seed phrase and password? Do you have them written up on a piece of paper or in Notepad, which is on the same device you installed the wallet?
