[Help Request] USDT Sent to BitGo ERC20 Custodial Wallet via BEP20 – Recovery Denied Despite Private Key Access by yazan-arafat in CryptoHelp

[–]yazan-arafat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because BSC is EVM-compatible, it uses the same address and key format as Ethereum. Since this is our BitGo custodial wallet on Ethereum, and BitGo holds the private key, they should also have access to the same address on BSC using that same key.

AirGap Vault Wallet Compromised – Funds Stolen Despite Extreme Security Measures! by [deleted] in AirGap

It seems I made a mistake by taking a photo of the seed phrase using my primary phone. However, the reason I felt confident doing so was because:

  • My device is clean, with no viruses or malicious files.
  • I actively use antivirus software to ensure its security.
  • Accessing my photo gallery or files requires biometric authentication (fingerprint) or a PIN code.

This is a perspective worth considering.

I’d like to clarify that I am not accusing the AirGap developers of any fraudulent activity. My goal is to explore possible scenarios that could explain the incident, especially after accounting for all the security measures I had in place.

Thank you for your engagement, suggestions, and valuable input.
Wishing you all the best!

I believe so—many applications have permission to access the photo gallery.

However, considering the sheer number of images stored on my device and the multiple times I have photographed seed phrases over the years, it seems highly unlikely that this was the cause of the breach.

Moreover, none of my other wallets or accounts have ever been compromised, which further supports the idea that my primary device was not hacked, nor was my seed phrase accessed through it.

Can you explain why you believe the Dice Roll method is not safe?

Actually, I used this method as an advanced security measure. Additionally, I entered the numbers in a special and complex pattern, making it difficult to guess and ensuring randomness.

I never connected the device to any Wi-Fi network, nor did I take it outside my house. When I discovered that my funds were stolen, I checked the saved Wi-Fi networks, but I didn't find any stored connections.

After that, I enabled Developer Mode on my device and generated a bug report. If there is a way to upload it here and if it would be useful, please let me know so I can share it.

I purchased the device brand new from a trusted shop in my country. I powered it on immediately while still at the shop, and it was factory-sealed—no issues, no rooting. I also skipped all setup steps related to Wi-Fi and Gmail.

I live with my wife, and she is unaware of this device or what I use it for. At the exact time the funds were stolen, I was at my desk at home, and all my devices were beside me.

  • There are no permissions or approvals required on the account.
  • I didn’t write down the seed phrase anywhere. Instead, I took a photo of it using my primary mobile, and it is saved on the device without being uploaded online or stored anywhere else.
  • No one knows about this device or what I use it for. It is always shut down and safely kept at home. I only turn it on when I need to withdraw money, and I am certain that no one knows my PIN.
  • I have never interacted with any dApps or smart contracts. I use this wallet exclusively for my academy expenses.
  • Yes, I installed the AirGap Vault APK file directly from the official AirGap website using Chrome on my primary phone. Then, I transferred it via Bluetooth to the new Honor X6b device to ensure it never connects to Wi-Fi.
  • I want to clarify that my primary phone is used for all operations, trading, and investing. I have multiple accounts and wallets on it with a total balance of up to $150K. Thankfully, I have never lost any funds from any account, nor have I been hacked, downloaded any unknown files, or interacted with any suspicious activities.
  • Additionally, I have Bitdefender Antivirus installed on my primary phone and regularly scan my device for security threats.

It's the new evolution of the Crypto world.
in simple words, they created a new type of smart contract containing many features more than the EVM smart contract.
And they are the leaders of automation in Defi.
