By reading from your previous post. There are only few things that I suspect that caused your device being compromised.

- It could be your device that is infected with malware that permits attack vector to gain access to your wallet.
- Maybe the recent hacking issues you're having are due to the "nodes" you're referring to. Perhaps, the person helping you in setting up nodes has something to do with your wallet getting hacked, and based from your previous post, there are a lot of the same concerns that @DdmrDdmr mentioned. I am not really sure though!.

The only solution I can come up with is to reach to the node's support and request to move your nodes to your fresh MM generated by your HW device. And carefully backup and format your computer to get a clean device and improve your OPSEC.

It may have been infected at the time; I have had my computer cleaned since then and I've also bought a seperate Chromebook to use just for crypto. The person I mentioned didn't help me set up the nodes. I didnt know him when I set them up. He is an admin in the Strongblock Node telegram group that I am in. I contacted him and other admin AFTER I was hacked. I wasn't even in the group when the hack happened. He isn't trying to help me set them up; He is trying to help me save them because they require a monthly fee that if not paid, will cause you to loose them permanently. And my time is about to run out. I do know not to give him or anyone else seed/recovery phrases or anything that would let him in my wallet.

Unfortunately Strongblock does not have the "migration" feature activated yet that would let you move your nodes to a different wallet. Thousands have asked about this and it isn't possible. They're supposed to be working on it, but that feature isnt available now. They even have it in their "FAQ" section. There have been TONS of people hacked the way I have. Some have had no issues.
