Hi everyone!

I'm new here and found this place after researching transaction 5f3720dd75ea36efed2bffd7bc136dc8556e600d6cc94f2a82c38880e0d02b64.

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 had saved the address 1EXkmyQEtNL351Q9ovUsCvsDTYtx4hVgCf to check the balance using the BlueWallet app, to see how my godson's savings were doing. Tonight, when I accessed the website, I was shocked! The funds had been moved. I immediately spoke to my godson's father, who confirmed that the funds hadn't been moved by him and that the paper was safely stored in a vault, as I had given it to him.

I can't stop thinking about where I went wrong in this process.


Thank you for the datapoint.

If you're certain you used bitaddress and not walletgenerator, my sense is that both you and raritycheck ended up on fake sites of the respective generators, which were compromised.

If you generated any other wallets using this same method, I would suggest sweeping them immediately.


@raghavsood is this guys swiped coin being done by the same people that swiped the raritycheck coins?  im not as tech as you are. ty

Yes, it is the same actors - I'm working on a larger fund flow piece, and will share it once I'm done - there may be an avenue for folks who were directly stolen from to file some reports with platforms/law enforcement (although I doubt it would lead to a recovery, but not entirely impossible).
