DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS

"on 11/22/2021 at approximately 23:59, someone logged into my metamask with the 12 words moving all my funds into the account .... I don't know how he did it, I never gave my words to anyone and I only wrote them on a sheet of paper."

 

"It's possible you may have malware on your machine. Did you sign or approve any contracts? Did you stay connected to any sites? Did you sell any tokens you didn't buy that just apleared in your wallet one day?"

 

"EDIT : I scanned with Malwarebytes, found a link called "IntelRapid", created on 11/05 and then removed. In the system eventviewer I noticed that all the events of 11/22 are missing despite the PC being switched on. in conclusion, someone entered the PC via a Trojan and then deleted the traces. THANK YOU ALL"
