recently (28 December ) 2 withdrawal operations were made in my phantom wallet sending my assets to another address . I tries to figure out how my wallet was penetrated ; back then I interacted with some apps trying to claim airdrops , so I ended the connection with all the apps . I also tried to revoke any token access but I didn't find any token access ( I used famous fox revoke tool ) since it is recommended in phantom help page . yesterday I tried to fund my phantom wallet to start again ; I made another account and sent money , 1min later it was all gone ? it all happened in chrome extension ( the second account i created on chrome extension , can't be found in my phone app ) . if someone could see some other causes if it is not due to interacting with apps , or giving token access ?
 
If it’s happened again and you are using a freshly generated wallet then you must have malware on your computer - either a screen/keystroke capture or a malicious chrome extension perhaps.

I’d suggest backing up your data and reloading your computer.

Then create a new wallet and go from there.

Also ideally you should look at a hardware wallet so that your keys are never stored or entered into an internet connected computer.

Use another network, you should change to a new network, and use your phone with 4G-5G, don't use strange wifi
 
Sad to hear. There are so many ways people are getting ripped off these days, seems even the bank is not safe. Knowing the different wallet types, I would say get a Trezor. Check your device, wifi network and avoid phishing attempts.
 
Assume you are compromised

Backup your data - Reinstall OS - Restore Data

Then

Install Virtual Box
Install Your OS in the Virtualbox VM
Install Wallet Extension in Brave
This is a TRADE wallet
Send enough crypto to this wallet for ONE PROJECT

Rinse and Repeat for other projects

Do NOT have more than one project in one wallet

Do NOT have more than one type of coin in one wallet

Always compartmentalize for security

Trust NO ONE, Mr. Mulder

If you've created another wallet inside same phantom, then there's your issue. You have a keylogger or some type of malware on your browser/pc so you need to clean your PC then reinstall OS
 
Did you imported a new smart contract before that happens?
