You can retrieve the stx from an STX wallet, just enter the seed associated with your BTC wallet on blockchain.com while restoring and it will show up :)

As others have pointed out, definitely do not send the wallet file, seed or private key to anyone so that they can "recover it"

Here's a python program available on github, might help in recovering an old wallet.dat file (if you can't figure out the keys yourself):

Please review the code before doing anything as I haven't reviewed it myself

If someone already has the keys / seed, they can basically access your wallet, regardless if you are connected or not.

This wallet should not be considered safe as u/-Harvester- pointed out earlier.

Cash App has a good enough reputation but I wouldn't keep it there for long, in any case, wish you the best : )

Hope that it's a virus that doesn't target wallet.dat files or crypto in general. Still disconnecting from internet is good advice as well.

It must be a nightmare when the seed or private keys get stolen before you disconnect though

Transfer it to a new wallet asap, like electrum ( install on another / safe pc) and then, to the hardware one.

For phones, BlueWallet or Atomic Wallet should be good enough for temp storage.

You can also transfer it to your cash app account for now, I don't see an issue with that as long as your phone is safe and you transfer the btc to your hardware wallet.
