"Hey guys, just had a major scare with my wallet. I used a hardware security key and encrypted my PC, but somehow my private key was changed - I'm not sure if it was a phishing attack or something else. Anyone else ever experienced something like this?"

"Dude, I feel ya. I've been in that predicament before and the first thing I did was reach out to the exchange or wallet support immediately. They can often help you recover your access, but act fast - the longer you wait, the harder it gets"

Dude, I had a close call with this exact scenario last year. Luckily, my wallet had a 2FA set up, so I was able to access it via recovery seed. Saved my bacon, if you know what I mean.
