my private keys got hacked over the weekend woke up yesterday to an empty bitcoin and monero wallet. my family's entire savings just gone. I have no idea how to process it, still feeling like it must be a bad dream not how I imagined starting 2025

I’m 100% empathetic towards your situation. But isn’t it extremely irresponsible to put your families life savings in a wallet that isn’t multi sig? You’re also storing on a pw manager, that’s also poor opsec. Attackers get more and more clever and will always be a game of cat and mouse. Do you have ledgers? Paper wallets? Etc? Families life savings warrants the most extreme opsec practices

yeah it was a bad call, I put off moving things into a multi-sig or at least multiple private keys for too long and now I'm seeing what happens I was overconfident that my opsec was as good as a paper backup, which in hindsight is a foolishly low bar for the amount of funds I had it was on a ledger, and that backup seed was stored on a locally running keepass on a device that was only for backing up files the only thing I can think is that at some point the keepass file backed up to the cloud, though I'm not sure how that would have happened as I don't remember the last time that device connected to the internet
