TLDRJonny Reid shared his experience of stealing encrypted assets in his MetaMask wallet on Twitter. Reid found that 41 ETH in MetaMask were transferred from MetaMask on 18th May. Reid believes that he has a “high level of security awareness’s” But with the help of friends working in cybersecurity, he is still unable to find the hack. The only thing he could do is strengthen security measures since then. Reid also pointed to a previously reported scam, in which scam groups monitor the content of all posts through the Twitter API.
