I got destroyed by that hack yesterday. I cant even sign into my coinos although I did briefly get in on another pc that had a browser that wasnt logged out. After putting my PIN code in it had a balance of 100 or 200 sats but I had millions in there.

Yeah. When I try to zap you, the icon lights up, then immediately unlights. I hope nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch gets back with us soon. I will keep the wallet, I didn’t have losses, and I only had 000,000 Sats 丰 , not millions, heaven forbid. My issue is how/why I cannot remove my nsec from their wallet.
I love this wallet but I am getting a pretty sketch vibe ATM. If it weren’t for #nostr I would not have gotten a warning that there is an issue with Coinos. Once again, the community outshines all others online.
Funny thing is is that I can't remember ever including my nsec into the account although I may have a while ago to briefly test and then forgot about it.
Oh well, at least you havent lost any sats which is good. I don't know about you but I can manage an nsec leak.
Still no can zap you bro. I do not remember including my nsec, unless it automatically does via NWC. As for an nsec leak, that means other, maybe bad actors, can spam or scam using your trusted npub which your #nostr fam trusts. The remedy that I know for that is suck it up and ditch your old npub after hearty warnings to the community that it has been compromised, and get a new npub toute suite, try to rebuild your follow list as best you can. Any other approaches I don’t know of?
Yeh my coinos account doesnt seem to even be there now. Its possible coinos has taken it away temporarily as they know its been effected by the hack.
I use NOSTR mostly to follow people so I can get good info about things. Yes it would be a little pain for someone to have my nsec but I can easily start fresh with another. Having my account connected in more ways to my real life would make it harder
Coinos has restored my 14.5million sats
Register a new Coinos account and send your money from the old to the new account (no fees).
I believe Coinos uses nsec/npub in the back end to uniquely generate new accounts securely without KYC. Perhaps, this is the reason you can change your username in Coinos easily.
