i will transfer about $300k tether from my trustwallet to coinbase wallet using either erc or trc.
if some one knows my both wallet address and time of the transaction; any how can that person do something about that transaction? steal, hack, freeze the account etc?
during the transaction or after?

there is no way he have access to my private keys but i am reading some weird things and wonder if is possible. i am also aware in that case everyone have access to wallet addresses steal and it will be chaos but maybe there is something that i dont know and i want to make sure.

i dont know if it matters or not but to coinbase wallet is newly created wallet

thx for your help

First of all I would advise you change wallet from a third party based like Coinbase as that is a third party wallet which can turn offline any day and you can forget about your coins as that saying says "Not your keys,not your coins".

Having said that,the other thing has been already explained that if you use Windows (I don't know about Mac) it is always best to double check the address where you are sending your funds even if it is one of your addresses as there is this malware that changes this to the hacker address,so far in Linux I am not aware of such vulnerability.

Agreed unless you are going to send there just to flip it into something else that's fine, but people NEED to stop using exchanges as wallets, at least for a good portion of their portfolio. I just don't get it. If sent to coinbase I'd flip it into whatever you want then pull immediately off the site. In terms of intercepting your transaction I don't under stand. If they have access to your private keys then yep they do but your public Addy being known won't cause any harm.
