I lost $50,000 worth of BTC! My Secure Folder got hacked?

[m_20587]

Hello, about six months ago, I lost $50,000 worth of BTC, it seems my secure folder was hacked. Let me explain what happened, and I would appreciate any comments you might have.

I installed Trust Wallet in the secure folder on my Note 20, with no other apps in there. It's more than 3 years which i am using this wallet on my phone without any problem till now, I should mention that I had many other apps and games in the main area of my phone. I thought that by keeping Trust Wallet in the secure folder, my funds would be safe even if my phone were infected with malware.

Unfortunately, My Trust Wallet containing the BTC, valued at $50,000, had been emptied. This happened about 24 hours after I deposited to the wallet.

Hello @m_20587 and may I extend a Warm Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum Section for Uk and Eu Members 👋 

I'm sorry to learn of your financial loss. 

May I assune you've been in touch with all the relevant authorities and departments you need to insert order to get some resolution to this. 

Unfortunately unscrupulous persons can and will access people's financial details to attempt to take funds. This is why the relevant authorities and law enforcement is in place. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

I truly appreciate your sympathy.

I'm grappling with a concern about whether the withdrawal from my bitcoin wallet was actually a hack or if someone physically accessed the note where I keep my backup codes. I'm unsure how secure the safe folder really is! I should mention that there were about 120 games and apps installed on my phone, but not on Secure Folder.

@m_20587  Very sorry to hear, hopefully can find some sort of resolution.  As far as I am aware Bitcoin is not entirely secure though.

Really sorry to hear this. I'm not sure how the reporting services work in the USA. I'm believe you should report this to your local police force or the FBI. If money has been taken out of your account. Then, you need to report this to your bank straight away. Since you said you have been hacked ensure that you change your passwords on your most important accounts and enable 2FA on all of your accounts for added security.
