Wallet 0x6eb4 kept his old wallet safe for eight years.
Then he moved to a new wallet, and 59 $ETH worth $146,800 was gone.
The timing is brutal. His loss is now being linked to the wider CryptoBilis Ledger investigation, where the exact method of compromise remains unclear.
Self-custody is supposed to give you control over your money. But this incident is a reminder that the security of your setup matters just as much as keeping your recovery phrase private.
One wallet change shouldn’t cost someone years of savings.
