Ok yall, so my Metamask wallet was hacked back in December. I'd used it to buy and connect to some nodes. I now have someone trying to assist me with getting my nodes back and to do so, I have to re-add the Metamask extension to my wallet. Nervously, I started the process of connecting it again and it is asking me to enter my seed recovery phrase, which to my understanding is the 12-word phrase I got when I created the wallet, which was done on the mobile app. I went through this same process and this is the exact same thing I did when I was hacked before. Why doesn't Metamask just have it where I can go on a site and enter the login credentials that were created when I created the mobile app? Needless to say, I am terrified of doing this because I keep hearing NEVER INPUT YOUR SEED PHRASE, and right after following these same steps before (setting up the Chrome extension) I got hacked. And the site I was on before and am on now is metamask.io.
I am reaching out to you all for help on what exactly I'm supposed to be doing. I only have a limited time to check on my nodes, but to do so I have to involve this wallet, unfortunately.
why don't you contact metamask? first to help with recovery, it can be a big problem if your assets are completely hacked, that's the most useful in my opinion for the early stages.
Have you ACTUALLY known Metamask to successfully assist with recovering stolen crypto??? It seems to me they don't give a damn about security. They're the only wallet I've seen that doesnt even have a 2nd layer of authentication when logging into the wallet or moving crypto in/out of it. That's why thousands are getting hacked on a daily basis.
