Two days go by, and Alexander gets a notification on his phone that some crypto got transferred out of one of his wallets. He checked several wallets on his PC and noticed that each one had been emptied. In total, he claims that almost 150 different wallets and addresses got drained of all their coins.


I am literally shocked because this hack is indeed complex. I am wondering how come they would have got access to his wallets.
Lets assume they got access to his computer but his wallet should have been secured by a passphrase or something.
I am assuming Alex would not have stored the passphrase in a simple text file but would have encrypted it or had it password protected.
In that case, how would have those scammers hacked into his wallet ?
