The 3 wallets that were signatories to that multi sig was not hacked. As in no crypto were lost on those wallets
Let me get this straight: did you use existing funded wallets to create a multisig, and those wallets still have funds while the multisig got emptied? In that case you'd better move your funds to a new secure wallet before the attacker realizes he left something behind!

I'm quoting your post from another topic here:
I got hacked on Feb 12
But the ones from https://segwitadress.org/ were
But my ETH paper wallets were also hacked as well as a multi sig wallet I created with Electrum
It sounds like you even had paper wallets on an online system, instead of using cold storage for them.


I used Electrum desktop with my Ledger
Other 2 wallets are Exodus and Trust wallet which never in my desktop
So those wallets were on different devices? Any chance you stored the seed words on your computer? If multiple wallets on different devices "get hacked", you must have had more than one device compromised. Could someone have gained physical access to your devices?


Yes, i thought paper wallets were cold wallets. As long as you protect the private keys, then they were bullet proof. The Bitaddress.org wallets were as they were not hacked. That the segwit ones were not bullet proof. The ETH paper wallets were from Metamask i think and as old as the 7 year old bitaddress wallets.

So moving everything with value to Ledger and Tangem

But how about the cosigner keys/seed phrase when you setup the MultiSig wallet?

How did you set the cosigner 2 and 3 during wallet creation, there are options there to either put a master (private/public) key or seed:

If "Cosigner seed", and you pasted your Exodus and Trust Wallet's seed, then the hacker can just use that MultiSig wallet to spend without needing your Ledger device to cosign.

If "Cosigner key": Did you pasted your Exodus and Trust Wallet's (master) extended public key or (master) extended private key?
If the latter, then it's the same as putting the cosigner seed, the MultiSig wallet isn't properly setup, it's a MultiSig wallet already capable of providing two of the required signatures.
If the former, then it's something else, probably compromised backup seed phrases.
I'm guessing this is the answer, thanks

I got hacked on Feb 12

The wallets i created using BitAddress.org were not hacked

But the ones from https://segwitadress.org/ were

Both had passwords

Not sure , if the hacker left BitAddress alone because they contain 0.01 Btc only

But my ETH paper wallets were also hacked as well as a multi sig wallet I created with Electrum

I don’t trust paper wallets now

My multi sig wallet got hacked

I created a multi sig wallet using Electrum in 2023
It was a 2 of 3 wallet. Meaning it would need signed transactions from 2 wallets to move the Bitcoin

But in February 12, my computer got hacked. And Bitcoin of some of my wallets got moved somewhere

Don't understand how it was possible

The 3 wallets that were signatories to that multi sig was not hacked. As in no crypto were lost on those wallets

Here is the my Bitcoin address
bc1qcuevd4xqrqdhxwde83m6tp4hn25lsedq27vk43l7ycklnk2lhytq56mr3t

This is the txid


717707e28521e352e02b91c86701442dabdea53920b2cabc5e2127fa3b441254

Could the multi sig wallet be hacked without hacking the 3 wallets used to sign ?

BTW, one of the wallets was a Ledger
