Is this shit safe? Why do I keep hearing about people's Metamask wallets being drained?

>> No.27723533

if you buy the minimum of 1 eth it secures the drainage plug

Because they have their seed saved in a metamask.txt or passwords.txt? Txt saved in the cloud. Don't updating their software? Don't having antivirus? They show on the internet how much money they have... At least mix the seed in different order.

Don't listen to this retard, he wants you to lose your funds. You can store all ERC20 coins inside the HW if you use it with Metamask. But be careful the coins are then all inside the HW not Metamask so if you lose it or it breaks it's gameover. Also use Trezor for lock in feature.

metamask uses a layer of javascript to transmit your keys across the interwebs. a malicious dev can insert a snippet of code via the npm javascript repos and pwn ur wallet. Anyone using browser based wallets for anything but small transactions is essentially begging to get ripped off.

>>27723374

I keep all my funds on Trezor that is connected to Metamaks. Means I can keep track of all my funds in real time on Metamask, then when I want to trade shit I just plug in the Trezor to approve the transaction.

I also build my own Trezor with a RasberryPi Zero, it's easy and super cheap:

listen you fucking kike nigger, pressing confirm in the pop-up doesn't do shit but sign the transaction. Your keys have already been transmitted and could be used to swipe your bags at anytime. You should pull the plug out of your ass and let the shit drain out of there instead of spewing it out on this board. For all anyone knows every noob's keys have already been collected and the chink heebs are just waiting for the highest price to steal and sell your shit.

I wonder why they were running an outdated geth version for so long that the eth chain shit the bed, effectively locking billions in uniswap liquidity and personal access to metamask wallets. Why wouldn't they keep it updated with literal billions at stake? Because writing new geth exploits takes time.

The odds of you having something wrong with your PC is much higher than the odds of metamask being hacked as the reason you lost your money. A metamask has would make national headlines. Millions of people would lose their money overnight. Theoretically anyway. I'm not going to call metamask safe as they could do a lot more to help people protect their accounts but typically speaking it's PEBKAC that is the issue.

it's safe. The people overly paranoid about this probably have a reason to be overly paranoid. So long as you're not giving anyone your seedphrase and don't have a keylogger installed from downloading and running sketchy software, you should be fine.
Someone said it before, if a metamask was hacked, it would make national headlines. Really the only time I've seen people lose their funds is if they got caught up in a phishing scheme and were tricked into giving away their password and seed phrase, but if you're not retarded your instinct would have taken over at some point to not disclose that information.
