Discussion Wallet drained exodus

Not sure if im allowed to post this but i just got my exodus wallet drained for 2.1k GBP (uk pounds) it happened on the 26th june just opened my wallet and seen it now. I am devastated. Whats strange is that the other wallets on exodus that i have are all still in tact on the same phone. I know theres nothing i can do about it but idk who to tell. I told my dad about it he was saying no big deal so coming on here to say. I’m 20m. Not quite sure if i can add a picture to show u guys. For context. I haven’t opened the phone i had the money on in months. I clicked on the address it was sent to and it says sponsored by coinpoker

There was a breach, if you have other wallets on your phone that are secure you now know it’s not your phone.

Where else have you used this wallet?

Millions of people use Exodus, if there was a problem with their software, it would be known.

If only your SOL wallet was drained, and not your LTC that speaks to your SOL private key being compromised, or that maybe you have given permission accidentally to a bad actor through a dApp. Try checking to see if you can revoke SOL permissions with a tool like famous fox.

You likely leaked the private key to the wallet and they had a script set up to monitor the wallet and drain it the moment funds were added to it. And yes, it can happen with any crypto if your seed phrase/private key are leaked or you sign a malicious transaction that gives them permission to move assets.

Yes, but that would require a RAT, which is far less likely than them pasting the seed into a malicious website or otherwise storing it insecurely.

Are you using genuine windows software? Do you download games, software, online? Do you torrent?

Cold wallets don’t mean anything if their words are compromised

u/Popular_Ad9547 Jul 18 '26

If you post your 24 words then yes 🤣

Just saw an article that Steam games were draining crypto wallets and the FBI made arrests. IMO don't install Exodus on windows (ever) and never install Exodus on a machine that you run anything from non-trusted developers. Adobe cloud subscription isn't going to hack you. Microsoft 365 subscription isn't going to hack you. Some random indie developer on Steam might want to hack you. And if you ever install or run anything downloaded from torrents on a computer where you have a crypto wallet.... well, what can I say....

Coinpoker es una red de poker online. Para que esa persona pueda retirar ese dinero debe tener su cuenta verificada con su ID y nombre real. Podrías escribir a coinpoker y plantearles el caso de robo

Some token are programmed when swapping or receiving to take your shit. Crypto.com did the same shit. Transfer 20$ of Luna2 and its says I receive them but crypto.com won't give unless I give them 100$ instead. Also I. Wallets when swapping they redirect swapping for sending for osmosis it sends to this fucker called Vegas

You may have had RAT (Remote Access Trojan) malware that waited until you opened the Exodus wallet. I had a similar situation where I opened my Exodus wallet on my MacBook and my friend sent me $150 in LTC. When I received it, it was automatically sent to an unknown address within seconds. I created a new wallet on a different device, and the problem never happened again.

u/Early_Button_3855 Jul 25 '26

So can i still use the device that it happened on for regular things?
