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!

Public Wifi has nothing to do in your case unless your machine was itself infected in the first place. because the ledger has its own security mechanism.
since your saved your seed in the cloud. that seems the culprit.

also, never use any app which facilitates your SMS from your phone to your machine like YourPhoneCompanion in android and messages/imessages in mac. and also don't install 2FA apps in your machine like Authy. use them on your phone only and do not connect your phone with your machine all the time. do so while your internet connection is off.

and nope, guessing your seed is impossible. don't even think about it.
It may be someone in your close proximity who might be snooping on you. that's what I can think of in my expert opinion.
