A hack / wallet drainer scam report.

Narrative evidence

What happened

A hack / wallet drainer scam involving cryptocurrency was reported on 12 September 2026. Chronological Statement of Incident Initial Setup and Hardware: I maintain a Bitcoin cold storage setup using a Coldcard hardware wallet (Model: [e.g., Coldcard Mk3 / Revision C]) paired with Electrum software wallet as the watch-only/transaction coordinator interface on my personal computer. My recovery seed phrase was generated directly on the Coldcard hardware device. Discovery of Unauthorized Transfer: On [DATE, 12 September 2026] at approximately [TIME, 10:30 BST], I accessed my Electrum wallet interface to check my balance. Upon opening the application, I discovered an unauthorized outgoing transaction that I did not initiate, authorize, or approve. Transaction Details: Amount Stolen: 0.03334 BTC (Approximate value at time of theft: [£1587]) Date & Time of Transaction: [05-08-2026 01:19 AM BST] Transaction ID (TxID): [9f7b35d6ed69e49dba8c23356edcb0d81e6655c528bd20600b0283e09b64ab1e] Attacker / Recipient Address: [bc1q99ttht7cmh0v36zzzr846z24a9eaefm8u3ems6] Incident Analysis: My physical Coldcard hardware wallet remained safely in my possession at all times during this event, and my physical recovery seed sheet was stored securely offline. I have not shared my 24-word seed phrase or passphrase with any individual, typed it into any digital device, or saved it online. Despite these physical security measures, the private key associated with my Bitcoin address was compromised, allowing the unauthorized third party to sign and broadcast the transaction. I suspect the breach occurred either via a potential vulnerability during the seed generation/firmware phase or through a compromised Electrum application executable/network route.
