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.
My apologies, I didn't know that multiple posts were not allowed. I was simply trying to respond to some of the users that commented.
I am aware now that I shouldn't have entered the seed phrase. I thought MM was trying to authenticate my account and I went to the site that is said was the authentic site, which is metamask.io. Please refrain from any condescending comments to anyone going through this. If you've read my previous threads you see that I acknowledge I messed up. Therefore, I really don't need the "I told you so's". I'm already dealing with enough.
