"Hey guys, I just got my ICX private key stolen and was hacked out of 500k worth of ICX. I've reset my wallets and changed my passwords, but I'm still shaken. If anyone else has had a similar experience, please share your horror stories and let's see if we can learn from each other."

"Omg, this thread is bringing back old memories! I used to run an ICQ bot and had multiple instances of hacking attempts back in the day. My friend's account got compromised and they lost a bunch of credits"

"Ah man, sorry to hear that. I had a scare a few months back when someone tried to 2FA-swap me out of my account, luckily my password manager caught it before they could get in. Anyone use a hardware wallet as an added layer of security?"

"Dude, just recently I had my Telegram account compromised, and the hackers tried to phish my Binance 2FA codes. Luckily, I had 2FA set up on multiple devices and caught it before they could steal my funds. Moral of the story: always keep that 2FA enabled and strong"

"Yooo, sorry to hear that mate! Had a similar issue with 2FA enabled on my crypto exchange account, some dude tried phishing me but thankfully they asked for my 2FA code, which I never share. Luckily, the exchange took action and froze my account until I could verify ownership"

"Lol, happened to me too last year. Someone gained access to my old Coinbase account after cracking my password (idk what kinda catfish technique they used). Got it locked down eventually, but still freaked out"

"Damn, that's a crazy story! Had my email account compromised a few years back and they tried to use 2FA to get access to my crypto exchange. Luckily, I had 2FA notifications turned on my phone, so I was able to catch them in time."
