"Hey guys, just got back from a weekend trip to find out my email got hacked and someone's been trying to drain my crypto wallet. They managed to get into my account and withdraw $500 worth of SOL. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know of any good ways to prevent this from happening in the future?"

"Dude, that's frustrating as heck! Make sure to check your email provider's 2FA is enabled for all accounts, and change all your password immediately, even if it means updating your recovery email and phone numbers too. Also, report the incident to your email provider's support"

"Lol, don't be too hard on yourself, dude. We've all been there. Just set up 2FA on your email and crypto apps ASAP to avoid this in the future."

"Sorry to hear that bro, been there done that. Always double check your email for any suspicious links or attachments before clicking, it's a hard lesson to learn but it'll save you $500 in the long run. Maybe consider using a password manager to keep your accounts secure?"
