Used Bitcoin Wallet Costs $30,000

Digital currencies managed to attract the attention of the whole world with the profit they provided.. Of course, as in the whole world, there are malicious people in this mass.. Especially in the cyber world where you cannot be traced and there are thousands of new unconscious users, we can all be attacked by crypto money thieves.. That’s why it’s better to be more careful while keeping these coins that are always on our minds.

Beware of Second-Hand Coin Wallets

After a user on Reddit puts his coins in the ledger wallet he bought from eBay, it is better to be careful. a week later he checks his wallet again. After seeing that the crypto money is gone and his wallet is empty, he shares this post;

“I haven’t used my Ledger for a week, today I wanted to check my Ripple, Litecoin and Dash and yesterday at this time all my coins were removed from my wallet. I found out that it was transferred to another wallet. I have no idea how this is possible, I haven’t even had access to my wallet for a week. Have my $30,000 cryptocurrencies been stolen, does anyone have any ideas about what happened? I’m feeling incredibly bad, please help.”

One of the best replies to this post;

“Newcomers to Reddit always hear that physical wallets are the best, it’s true, they wonderful. Ledger Nano, Trezor, Keepkey all great devices. But never, ever! Do not buy coin wallets from eBay or through any third party. If you want to buy Ledger, go to Ledger, if you want to buy Trezor, buy directly from them.”

This post is featured on Reddit after the release, Ledger CEO and CTO immediately replied to the post and told the user whose coins were stolen to reach them directly via private message.. It remains unclear whether the coins will be recovered or not.

Considering that the world is rapidly digitizing, we can expect cyber attacks to increase at the same rate.. That’s why we should better preserve the money we earn in return for great efforts.. We should always prefer the manufacturer (even if the shipping time is long) instead of a second-hand physical wallet that we can buy cheaply from someone you do not know.
