I just got hit for a ton of eth 3 meta wallets drained. Anyone heard anything or could help point me in the right direction of what to do? No idea how they accessed my funds.

Don’t sign shady smart contracts, enter your private key online, or store it using pictures on the cloud or a password recovery service.

Cloud with 2 factor auth is very safe

Sadly no. LastPass was hacked last year, and a lot of people have had their wallets drained. So having your seed online is never truly safe.

How is that? Even if I give you my password for Google you won't be able to sign in to my account.

Yes, but if you have your seed phrase in an online container, and the container gets hacked, the 2FA doesn't do anything. The hacker can recreate your wallet from the seed.

I am talking about storing the seed in the Google account, aka Google keep. The likelihood of Google getting hacked is much lower than my house burning down and taking with it all cold storage.
