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.
It is inconceivable to me that I would use a wallet that works through a browser and any add-ons/extensions - so it's like Russian roulette that you play every day and you wonder when luck will leave you. I was closest to it when I used the Chrome app for one HW and I’m glad they gave up on it, it’s just the wrong way and should be avoided.
When I downloaded the Metamask Chrome extension it asked me for my seed phrase. Since I'd never downloaded it on my computer before, I figured it was legitimate and that it was trying to authenticate my account. I really think this is where I messed up.
You failed the most important test, because the seed from HW should not be entered anywhere except in HW - or in case you have no other choice in some proven desktop wallet whose files have been previously verified. I'm sorry for your loss, but you confirm what I keep saying - regardless of the type of crypto wallet, the weakest link in the security chain is the people who use them.
