Absolutely devastated , was logging onto my kraken account and fell for what I now know was a phishing scam , didn't have 2 factor set up as never really saw the need at the time as I only had less than $30 in my account when I was setting it up (obviously alot more now)thought I was quite good with my security ( I know how stupid that sounds now) .
Clicked on what I thought was kraken website and it prompted me for Google password, I don't regularly login on my PC for kraken but wanted more screen for the chart viewing . As soon as I put that in they got into my Google account and found all account details and any passwords I had saved .
Within about 1 minute everything was cleaned out and swapped from moons to eth and then withdrawn to another address.
I'd not been too big into crypto but always enjoyed moons , and brought a large stack last night around the time of the news dropping . So I was up a nice amount.
Purely putting this post out there to remind everyone to set there two factor authentication and ensure everything is kept tight, because I never thought I'd become a victim of a scam like this .
I'm in the process of investigating with kraken but I'm not sure if they will be able to do anything, I'm pretty much expecting that my funds are gone as it was my fault .
Edit: I do now completely understand I should of had 2FA , however I didn't and now I have learned, seeing moons at there current price is even more disheartening but , I do beg please up your own security , don't be like me and miss out on green candles .
