Metamask-extension: Meta Mask Hacked?

Created on 30 Jan 2018  Β·  61Comments  Β·  Source: MetaMask/metamask-extension

Hello Metamask ,
i think that there is a security gap in your extension , someone stolen my money , he stole the 2 addresses registred in metamask ,
Despite the fact that I never saved my password anywhere ,i used the Metamask only , I saw that another account had taken all of the Ethereum out of my wallet and transferred it to his.

the transactions addresses is below :

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x1598105716b358e4c657ae162988af3dd41966a23723ec09fe191fe5d64ef502
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xfb2d5f1e73a435ca374f52cb2e814cbc203e8ff7bbfe468a3e273169e4486ffa

and this is the address that stoled my money πŸ‘

https://etherscan.io/address/0x0a585000cee5d93e64dbc37a390f87b27bb41dd0

Without any additional information provided on a public thread, such as transaction logs or knowledge of phishing sites that may or may not have been visited, we are not able the pinpoint the cause of the issue. If you have any additional sensitive information please send it to support at metamask dot io

I'm encountering the same exact issue! My account was completely emptied out! I got robbed for almost 1ETH.

It's happening ONLY to the non-loose accounts on meta mask!

I'm encountering same issue too. I've sent 48 ether to my wallet and someone sent 4.xx ether to another wallet and spent 43.xx ether as txfee and it was first use this time but transaction history says it has been used since 133days ago

0x627306090abaB3A6e1400e9345bC60c78a8BEf57
this is my wallet address

@leekt216 seems that is a Ganache address that is used for testing purposes. Which is the default seed phrase for Ganache and is available for everyone that has installed it.
http://truffleframework.com/docs/advanced/truffle-with-metamask
Around half way down, there is a warning when sending ETH to any addresses that are generated by this default seed phrase on the Main Ethereum Network.

Hi guys, did you succeed to recover any tokens from your Metamask? It happened to me the same. First in the morning l realised l don’t have any Neurochain token that l have just bought, then within an hour after l opened my Metamask, the rest all disappeared, 0 balance. I am writing emails to support, l did whatever they suggested to me but nothing helped. I think they hacked me!

i will never use Metamask for ever , and i will make a video in my youtube channel with 132k followers and beware them . Metamask not secure anymore . You have to resolve this big problem and compensate our money .

Thank you for your support, but how can l compensate my money? If l can help or add anything to your tube, l am here willing to say something.Β

@Mijako Thanks. From ticket number 12265, it seems like you were able to restore your MetaMask wallet, after (unintentionally I assume) creating a new wallet, and found your original accounts unseen. Glad you were able to restore successfully.
For future/user issues, you could send your queries to [email protected] again, (though I hope you'll not face any issues in your MetaMask transactions anymore). Thanks again to help clarifying!

Not at all. I am quite new, reading from other people being hacked...so this is the first thing you think when you open your acc.and there is 0 balance. I didn’t do anything at all, just register into my Metamask and saw empty acc. Today l registered and realised there is again one token missing, but from this experience l think it will not be difficult to bring it back. I hope so. Just don’t understand why it is keep happening you add a new token and the amount of tokens, but when you register again, they disappeare. Am l doing something wrong?Thank you.Kind regards,Marija

my metamask wallet was hacked also! I sent ethereum from stocks.exchange to my metamask wallet but only received a small portion of my withdrawal so I checked the etherscan transaction and noticed that over two hundred dollars $200.00 of my withdrawal had been sent to another ethereum address before it ever reached my metamask wallet. I contacted metamask about this matter and they are not taking responsibility for my fund's being stolen! stating that I must have visited a phished site, or I have malware installed on my PC which both are not true! I will not use metamask anymore until this matter is resolved and will continue to inform metamask & ethereum user's that metamask is not safe and obviously have a serious bug in they're security feature that they refuse to be held accountable for.

It's a Freaking shame. I also tried to email them to get them to lock my
account when I first noticed it happening. They wouldn't or couldn't.

@blackstuntman this is not enough information to determine what happened but when you say

noticed that over two hundred dollars $200.00 of my withdrawal had been sent to another ethereum address before it ever reached my metamask wallet.

This suggests that it's not an issue with metamask, as metamask cannot interfere with sent funds before their arrival.

If you want further diagnosis you'll need to provide more information about your accounts, which is for the exchange and which is from metamask. I recommend you do that privately via the support email thread you started.

Malware and phishing targeting cryptocurrency users are extremely common these days, we've seen many users with cases that were infected and did not realize it. While I'm not sure that's your case (they likely would have taken everything), you should take care to properly identify the source of the anomolous transaction to ensure you are safe.

@prozak39

get them to lock my account

We do not control anyone's account and are unable to do this. This lack of centralized control is what draws a lot of people to cryptocurrency. However the responsibility of security and understanding comes with that, and it's a lot to take on. If you'd like someone to manage your private keys for you, I recommend a bank-like enetity such as coinbase.

What do you mean not enough evidence? Just simply check my etherscan
activity! It clearly shows my withdrawal from stocks.exchange was
successful sent to my metamask wallet address via blockchain, it also shows
seconds after it arrived over $200.00 of the over $300.00 initial
withdrawal was sent to another wallet before it ever reached my metamask
wallet. Upon further investigation you can also see that the stolen fund's were
sent to another ethereum address with over 1,000,000.00 dollars in ethereum
asset's! Metamask needs to reimburse me for my lost fund's and take full
responsibility for this security breache because it's not my fault!

And the Thief's are now removing fund's from that account because now it only shows a little over 80,000.00 dollars in ethereum asset's where as two days ago it was over 1,000,000.00!

Exactly! NO ONE HAS MY PRIVATE KEYS! ALSO! I DO NOT! KEEP THEM ON MY PC OR
ANY OTHER PLACE THAT CAN BE COMPROMISED! I'M VERY CAREFUL ABOUT MY PRIVATE
KEYS!

This suggests that it's not an issue with metamask, as metamask
cannot
interfere with sent funds before their arrival.

If you want further diagnosis you'll need to provide more
information
about your accounts, which is for the exchange and which is from
metamask.
I recommend you do that privately via the support email thread you
started.

Malware and phishing targeting cryptocurrency users are extremely
common
these days, we've seen many users with cases that were infected and
did
not
realize it. While I'm not sure that's your case (they likely would
have
taken everything), you should take care to properly identify the
source
of
the anomolous transaction to ensure you are safe.

No this isn't the situation at all. because I've never sent anything to
that address before. It's completely a mystery! And by the looks of that
account it's has been stealing ethereum and ethereum assets for quite some
time. And is now in the process of funneling those assets God knows where!

we don't have any control of user accounts or the blockchain

THESE PEOPLE STEAL FROM THIER CUSTOMERS

@ProZack39 we dont have any customers, we are an open source wallet
if you don't want to use metamask some other options are parity, mycrypto, myetherwallet, status.im, cipher, toshi

Yea I know.. I'm currently in the Process of Moving everything! Which is a
Pain in the Butt!!!!

@Blackstuntman

Just simply check my etherscan activity!

its difficult to review etherscan without knowing what what addresses are what

is 0x0f85ffa9c291a2b4ee5f0647725c7c41e5d6981a your metamask address? or a different ethereum address you own?

@ProZack39 how do I move tokens from Dex without going through metamask?

@ProZack39 did you submit your metamask state logs to the support email? helps investigate what happened

You can use a Ledger.. I went ahead and spent the $$$ it's the Only real
way to Own your coins.

@kumavis yes that's my metamask wallet address. Just follow the most recent transactions from a couple of days ago, because I haven't used metamask since because I'm too afraid to, and you will see exactly what happened.

how do I move tokens from Dex without going through metamask?

@Blackstuntman likely the best way is to import your seed phrase into another ethereum browser like mist, status.im, parity

@Blackstuntman did you provide your metamask state logs to the support email thread?

@Blackstuntman having the state logs might help verify, but it looks like you might have approved the tx (the ~$200) earlier but it could not execute because you did not have enough ether. After receiving ether here, the tx was able to execute and went through.

That unexpected behavior is discribed here https://metamask.helpscoutdocs.com/article/37-ghost-accounts-ether-sending-away-whenever-funding-an-account

the empty account + sweep on retrieval seen here
https://etherscan.io/address/0x090b0ca0b824b1bc7e67df944fc9c63989e92ba0
is typical of a centralized exchange deposit flow. do you remember sending eth to an exchange recently?

Is there an explanation for Mine?

@ProZack39 ok I've found the txs where your tokens were sent out

here is the first of them. Did you ever participate in an "airdrop" where you had to give your private key or seed phrase to the website? we've seen those before

this would have required either
1) giving your seedphrase / private key to a website
2) manually approving all of these transactions (possibly by being told they were doing something else)

Unless you think there may be a Ending where I get my funds back I'd rather not waist more time on it

there's no way to recover these funds. but learning what went wrong could help prevent this in the future.

@kumavis I've considered this explanation but can't see it being a valid reason for over $200.00 to have gone missing from my withdrawal of over $300.00 from stocks.exchange. because I only use idex and even if the miner fees pilled up causing 'ghost accounts' it would have never accumulated to over 200.00. I'm new to using metamask as well as ethereum so I don't have many transactions in etherscan, the transaction fees are only cents. You can add up all the transaction fees and it doesn't come close to over $200.00 in ethereum fees

@Blackstuntman not $200 in fees but just the amount required to pay for the tx ($6.57 fees + ~$200 value transfer) that you would have earlier approved, perhaps days before

basically the approved tx sits around waiting for you to be able to pay for it

i think its very likely that it was a late but successful deposit into an exchange like shapeshit/coinbase/poloniex/etc

Right! They asked for my private key.. but i'm not an idiot. I immediately
X out of the website. They still got me.

No not at all. Wouldn't the identity of the exchange be identified via etherscan if I had? The only exchange I ever sent anything to is idex and that show's where I sent the 0.1 whatever ethereum $131.00 to iDex. I don't know what the hell happened so what's up with the account that my 0.3 ethereum was sent to? Do you see anything abnormal about that account? And why would my 0.3 ethereum even go to that address it's not an exchange. Then they sent it to another ethereum address with over 1 million dollars in ethereum assets and now they are moving those assets in fear that they will be confiscated. Metamask really let me down they better step up! if they can't reimburse user's they should shut down or increase security. I want my damn fund's back!

@ProZack39
Ok so my current guess is that it was part of the 0-eth airdrop. You might have approved multiple 0-eth transactions that were actually each token transfers. This would have been subtle and hard to detect from the metamask confirmation screen as it only shows estimated cost of ether transferred. The new version of metamask has first-class support for tokens and shows a special token confirmation screen and attempts to estimate USD value of the token transfer.

If true, this is more advanced than your typical phishing scheme but entirely possible. The phishing arms race is really active right now in cryptocurrency and its hard to stay ahead. I would suggest staying away from sketchy "free money" websites while things are still wild-west.

It was an eos Airdrop.

@Blackstuntman

Wouldn't the identity of the exchange be identified via etherscan if I had?

no not necesarily. exchanges generate hundreds of thousands of temporary one-use accounts all the time, and don't publicly advertise that they belong to the exchange.

Metamask really let me down they better step up!

If you'd like additonal help, you'll need to submit your metamask state logs to metamask support

@ProZack39

It was an eos Airdrop.

Likely it was a fake site pretending to be an eos airdrop. There's a lot of those.

If you have further questions, please send a message to [email protected] and be sure to include your state logs.
