NFT artist DeeKay's wallet was completely stolen, but the NFTs were unaffected

2024-10-11 15:03:35

ChainCatcher news, well-known NFT artist DeeKay posted on X: "I just became a victim of cybercrime. All my wallets have been stolen, and all the savings I earned as a Web3 artist have disappeared. This happened during my 14-hour flight from Korea to New York, and I had no internet access during the flight. I don't know how this happened, but I guess it was a seed phrase leak. I have a handwritten photo of the seed phrase that was synced to Google Drive, hidden in a random folder, but I haven't found any suspicious login activity. It’s also possible that the photo was physically exposed… I'm not sure what exactly caused it. I haven't downloaded anything strange, at least I never did it intentionally, and I haven't interacted with any suspicious people recently."

DeeKay added: "Strangely, only my funds were taken, while the NFTs remain intact. I have started transferring my valuable NFTs to a new address. I have nothing now, and this might be the biggest challenge of my life. My biggest concern is that all my family members depend on me financially, so I need to recover as soon as possible to continue supporting them. Right now, my brain is exhausted, and I need to get some sleep first."
