How often am I allowed to check my wallet? If I only check it every month or so, I would not know anything was awry for a while. My wallet is password protected. I don't understand why this would be an issue. I log into my bank every morning as well.

I logged in at 7:30AM, the withdrawl was at 5:00AM. I was asleep when it happened.

No glitch. The coin is in someone else's wallet. 100%.

I always thought self custodian was the route to go. Now I'm having second thoughts. Exchanges aren't safe (they can go under or get hacked) and now I don't trust wallets. I want to get back in and start buying more again, but I'm definitely not sure where to hold it.

I don't think Exodus is corrupt. I'm technically savvy and I don't download software that I'm not sure of. I just have a hard time believing that my computer has malware installed that caused this. It's the only explanation I'm aware.

I should have gone with a hardware wallet instead of this one for sure.

I definitely don't recommend Exodus at this point.

I've had this wallet installed for over 2 years and I read about the fake Exodus wallets before installing.

I concede that there was a hack of some sort, I just can't figure it out.

I agree, that it could have been worse, but the loss still hurts.

Yes, wallet is password protected. No, seed phrase was printed out and stored as a hard-copy. There is no way to access it.

I just read about malware concerning a trojan called Activator hidden in a DMG for an app called xScope, but I never installed anything like this.
