      tldr; NFT artist DeeKay Kwon lost over $1 million in a cyberattack while on a 14-hour flight from Korea to New York. Hackers accessed his crypto wallets and stole his life savings, which he earned through Web3 projects. The attack occurred when DeeKay had no internet access, and he discovered the breach only after landing. The hackers likely accessed his seed phrase stored in Google Drive, but his NFTs were left untouched. This incident highlights the growing threat of cyberattacks in the Web3 space and the importance of securing sensitive data.

      Alright, this is what I’m worried about.

      I’m using Google Drive for passwords, for example. I enabled 2FA with Google Authenticator.

      How is it possible that some hackers can bypass this?

      This was his worst mistake. As someone that have been hacked for dumb reasons too and lost $24k and had a lot of troubles thanks to Google lack of customer support.

      NEVER use crypto in your personal device unless it is your 3rd layer hot wallet with just dust to play with. The rest of your crypto in an old device that only used as your own ATM/bank/safe or how you want to call it.

      Stay safe people.

      Funny, the one that hacked me also left the NFTs xD
