Got hacked, lost $10K. Any options?

Let me just start by saying that I’m a moron.

Normally I’m a pretty careful guy, but this time I fucked up. I THOUGHT I was logging in my MetaMask account on a NFT marketplace to place some bids. I was actually on a spoof page that looked identical to the original site.

In retrospect, I know exactly what I did wrong. Laziness won, and instead of going on the site directly I actually clicked on a Google Ad. The site gave no red flags at all and it never even crossed my mind to double-check the link or anything.

So I pretty much handed my credentials to these people and therefore full access to my account.

$5K was drained before I even realized what I’d done.

It’s not a lot for many of you, but things aren’t going that well right now. Not to mention, I feel really crappy about the whole thing.

I reported the incident to MetaMask and got my account back. They’ve been documenting the incident but so far I don’t think there’s much they can do to help.

Again, and I can’t stress this enough, I KNOW it’s on me, but is there any way to recover my losses?
