I was hacked on April 12, 2023, and I lost all access to my various accounts. After 4 days, I was able to recover my crypto accounts, and everything was empty. #Binance #OKX #TrustWallet etc I had nearly 12 different wallets across 12 different applications. I lost a lot of money.
I made several beginner mistakes even though I have been in the crypto ecosystem since 2019.
My Gmail was hacked, and the hacker just put this on all the different wallets and was able to access my various accounts and then emptied everything.
My mistakes were as follows:
1. I had linked all my accounts from different applications with the same Gmail.
2. I did not change my passwords regularly.
3. I had synchronized all my accounts with my Gmail.
My resolutions after this great loss:
1. If you have important accounts online, do not link them with a Gmail, as Gmail is very weak in security. I would recommend an Apple Mail or Mail.ru.
2. Write down your passwords and accounts on paper and keep it safe. Avoid synchronizing your important accounts with your emails.
3. Change your passwords at least 5 times a month.
Here is my bitter experience that I had; I beg you not to make the same mistakes as I did.
