Can you hack a metamask wallet?

Metamask

One of the most worrying things that a person can have or suffer is the aspect of security ,and is that security in the world of cryptocurrencies is something very important.

Many people think they are super protected with many antivirus, many strong passwords and strong seed words to prevent their currencies from being violated, but sooner or later that can happen, I talk about this because recently a person close to me suffered this terrible event, his metamask wallet was hacked and even when the person explained to me that all his passwords of smartbch (because it was bitcoin cash) had his seed words, and his wallet in the form of paper, because it was also hacked.

Many of you will wonder how this happened because it is very simple :  the person or the criminal who committed the crime had access to the paper in a physical way where she kept it, or probably accessed his phone where he had a copy of the QR code or the seed words of his wallet and he simply managed to access both his bitcoin cash wallet and his metamask wallet, because at the time of having the seed phrase you can easily access the metamask wallet from anywhere that is something that cannot be avoided of course I traced all the transactions and we know where the money that was stolen went to stop but in reality that does not help much more than to ask or request the different exchange houses that block that wallet,  that is what the person who suffered this theft is going to do.

Then please I ask all the people who read this content to guard their words of security well and to keep all the seed phrases away from their computer,  because any person with bad intentions can access our personal information late or early in our carelessness and steal everything we have. Then it is very important that if we are going to have the seed words stored physically, we keep them in a safe place in a super secret place where only we can have access and no one else is in sight this way we can avoid our wallet and our cryptocurrencies being extracted please take this into account.

At that level, I am quite paranoid and my wallets usually have double or triple seed words than normal because today I am someone who protects their finances a lot.

This has been all for today I hope it will be useful and see you in the next publication
