Not your keys not your crypto, but scammers can steal from you easier - decided to g
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have been using exchanges for a year now, but after all this craziness happening with the withdrawals, I decided to slowly start DCA-ing on Metamask, because I wanted to keep my crypto off exchanges.</p> <p>I do not have my secret recovery phrase anywhere digitally, its in my house on paper and I live alone.

I dont understand how this could happen? How can someone send my money to their address only with my browser login password. If someone logs in from an another device it should ask my 12 word phrase, no? I have sent the daily dca to my CDC address to see how easy it to send it.

I am obviously mad, how can something like this happen. Even CDC had more security with 2FA, 24h whitelisting address than the secret recovery key Metamask Wallet.</p> <p>This is the scammer address btw: <a href="https://etherscan.io/address/0xe34f6a76abc77b07158fa07d3069167dc62cdb6a">https://etherscan.io/address/0xe34f6a76abc77b07158fa07d3069167dc62cdb6a</a></p> <p>I dont know what I did wrong, I am very cautious, I am simply infuriating that I could have been like 1000 or 10 000 euros too.

Maybe not my keys not my crypto but I am definitely going back to Crypto.com.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/sith_happenss"> /u/sith_happenss </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/vr2wqh/not_your_keys_not_your_crypto_but_scammers_can/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/vr2wqh/not_your_keys_not_your_crypto_but_scammers_can/">[comments]</a></span>
