Generally no. This type of ability in a contract could add safety issues as it would allow the caller of the function to essentially move funds from one wallet to another. You could try talking with the developer of the protocol directly through their website or discord. Though, if the developer has the ability to switch wallets for anyone then they could easily rug pull the whole project by transferring all the funds to their private wallet…

If someone is swiping your funds you likely signed a malicious contract that gave the hacker access. Have you tried using unRekt to check which contracts you have given approval to? Try removing access to all contracts you have signed and see if that makes a difference.

Good Luck

Hi Luis,

I’m sorry to hear that you got hacked. Whether you will get hacked again really depends on how you were hacked in the first place. If someone has access to your private key then they have full access to your wallet. If your PC has been hacked, then they have access to your wallet through your PC. I recommend moving anything you have left from the compromised wallet to a new wallet. I would make sure that the new wallet is set up with a hardware wallet(Ledger or Trezor ) to secure your keys and make it that much harder to get hacked again.

Good Luck

Thank you for a very informative article! I think things do happen for a reason and I recently got scammed. :/
I’ll make this scenario short and sweet and I have a question.

Situation: PC + MetaMask Chrome Extension. Left connected sites and had many tabs open for about 5 days ( rookie here )
Within those 5 days, everything was normal and nothing happened. Then on the 5th day I was hacked. My ETH was drained from $250 —- $0.79

The next day ( I was at my girlfriends house ), I finally updated my computer, reset it, and closed out all of the tabs and then connected to the same hacked MetaMask wallet and disconnected all the sites within the MetaMask Chrome Extension.

QUESTION: After disconnecting the sites both from the app and PC version, will I still get hacked?
I need to move staked rewards to another wallet. DO you think this will be possible If I move the value right away to another new wallet? ( Trust Wallet )

Cheers, glad you liked it. Absolutely, the safer the better.
