Re: My ledger got hacked

Are you sure you have connected to the official wi-fi from the airport? Such public places are ideal for what is called an evil twin attack, and if you were connected to such a fake network and logged in to your e-mail or any other service, all your data fell into the hands of hackers.

First thing I checked was the portal, where I put my credentials. So I went back to my browser history and this was the URL : portal.live.virginwifi.com

I couldn't access it, shows error 500, i guess because Im not connected to the AP. The details I used to connect where random. Something like test/test etc. I didnt use my real info.

The ssid I connected was : _stanstedairport_WiFi. I have already contacted the airport and I gave them the SSID, in case it was a fake SSID

If I understood you correctly, only BTC was stolen with the help of clipboard malware - which means that you had to make a transaction in which the malware replaced the address, and that the seed was not compromised.

This is the transaction where my ledger funds were transferred to another address :
https://blockstream.info/tx/9744253a268a18c61b2d33addc0dcbcfae7e8471985868adcd001e396299d609

Coins are still at that address, but by checking it I didn't find that it can be connected to some crypto service. What you can do right now is write an email explaining your situation and sending it to as many crypto-exchanges as possible, because a hacker might make a mistake and send stolen funds to one of those exchanges - and they can then freeze coins. What you definitely need to do is sign messages from all the addresses from which the BTC was stolen as proof that you are indeed the real owner.

I won’t lie to you that your chances are great, but you have the choice to come to terms with the loss, or to try to do something.



No, I didn't make any transactions at the time while I was waiting at the airport. I don't make transactions when I am at public places and I didn't need to make any transaction at that time. I found out that my copy-paste function has been compromised yesterday, when I tried to send the funds away from the hardware wallet. I double checked the address I copied and paste and they didn't match! So I stopped, I downloaded kaspersky, paid for it, set it up properly, reboot the pc, the malware gone!

I still don't know how the hack happened. but I am sure it happened at the Stansted airport.

I thought the same, to write emails to as many exchanges as possible and hope that they will freeze the funds. I am also going to meet the airport manager if possible to explain the situation. If their wifi is not safe for public use, then they should take immediate action.

Hi guys, thank you all for your replies. I spent a lot of time today to update my security protocols. 1 of my main protocols was not to connect to public wifi and routers I dont personally own, or know they are safe. At airports I always use my mobile hotspot. Except yesterday. Yesterday, my mobile was running out of battery and while I was charging it, I decided to connect to public wifi to do some work. Unfortunately, previous weeks were too stressful for me, and I didnt even think about my protocol. I cannot prove it's the wifi but today I realised this :

My laptop must have a malware, I tried to move all of my other funds from the ledger to exchanges until I sort my computer and my ledger out. I tried to copy an 0x hex address from the exchange, and when I pasted it, it was a different address!!!!

This is the transaction where my ledger funds were transferred to another address :

https://blockstream.info/tx/9744253a268a18c61b2d33addc0dcbcfae7e8471985868adcd001e396299d609


Whoever this person is, has made 0.5btc in less than 3 days.

Even if you log in to a public wifi, your funds are supposed to stay intact on your ledger, unless of course there are other people knowing your login credentials that is. Or your machine itself is infected by something, but even then the funds should still remain intact.

Have you checked whether there are others around you that know of your crypto activities? They could possibly be the ones who might be behind this.

To be honest I should have deleted this seed from the cloud. I saved it in June 2017 and I completely forgot about it. This was the very first time I have ever used crypto. I guess it's a way to learn a lesson. The 1 million dollar question is if there is any way to recover. I know it is not possible, just asking...mostly out of desperation

Where are you receiving your 2FA notifications? Through your mobile device or some other machine?

As for recovery, I don’t think there is a way for you to get back the funds as it was already sent to another address.


Nobody knows my credentials (as far as I know). It was just me and noone else around. I don't really tell how this happened and that confuses me. 2FA in my google authenticator app on the phone. Yeah it's an expensive lesson I guess.

Is there any possibility that anyone could guess the 24 words correctly randomly?

Very hard to say... theoretically you should be able to use your ledger on an infected pc and still not lose your funds...

I can think off a couple very remote scenario's that happened, or were at least discussed in the past:
  • You saved your seed in the cloud, and your account got hacked (icloud, dropbox, gmail,...)
  • You saved your seed on a physical carrier, and somebody found said carrier
  • You entered your seed in a different (vulnerable) wallet
  • You were the victim of a clipboard virus (eventough, this would have required you to actually make a transaction)
  • You received a device that had been tampered with... either preloaded with a seed, or plain fake
  • You were the victim of an evil maid attack (somebody had physical access to your device)

From all of these suggested possibilities, I do admit I saved the seed in my google drive. To access my gmail account though, requires 2FA. Google did not notify me for a remote login etc. I used the same seed since 2017 on the same ledger device.

Hi guys,

unfortunately, my ledger hardware got hacked last night and 100% of the funds were transferred into another address. I have no idea how this happened. I have never shared my seed words to any websites. I used the same wallet for over 4 years with no problem. The only thing I can think of is that I connected my laptop yesterday afternoon in a public wifi hotspot at stansted airport, in London. I flew from there later that day, and as soon as i landed, i checked the balance and it was 0!!! Any idea how did this happen, as Im running out of hope!

Of course its a SCAM!!!

1) The whole point of their project is not doable, but anyway

2) The address in London is WC1N 3AX, is randomly picked....OR NOT???
3) None of the 4 team members are on Linkedin
4) Their english is really poor
5) Github very poor

Stay away from Ziber...

Today i came across another new ICO, called Travelcoin.io = SCAM for almost the same reasons + 3 people who bought the tokens, 1 of them left a neutral feedback....

Be very very aware!!!!
