I'm new here and found this place after researching transaction 5f3720dd75ea36efed2bffd7bc136dc8556e600d6cc94f2a82c38880e0d02b64.
The only thing linking it to this topic is that it was swept in the same transaction as the collectible coins. Other than that, it would probably be better to open a new topic in
Bitcoin Technical Support.
On a certain day (which I honestly don't remember), I accessed bitaddress.org to generate a wallet for my godson. I'm a tech person, so I took every precaution when accessing the site (Mac/Safari or Chrome), generating the document, and even when printing it. I chose to take my laptop to the printer and connected it via a USB cable (I've worked with printer drivers for years).

I can't stop thinking about where I went wrong in this process.
I see several potential points of failure:
- Bitaddress has many phishing clones, but I've never read anything bad about Bitaddress itself. Usually a small typo is enough.
The warning on Bitaddres.org with one s exists for a reason! - You say you took every precaution, but it sounds like you used the online website instead of using it offline, and wiping your computer afterwards.
- The printer may potentially be a problem too, but that's unlikely considering it was swept together with other coins.
The clone sites are everywhere and they are STILL indexed used all the time.
I while ago I wound up getting a bunch of domains and setup the sites like this after they hosted malware:
YEARS AND YEARS later they are still getting hits from non bot / non crawler sources. As in people had to have them bookmarked or something and tried to go back.
