Scammed for $20k, seeking advice on what went wrong

A scammer gained access to two of my wallets and within 5 minutes, managed to drain about $20K worth of coins (at the time).

I know I'm at fault here, but I'm trying to learn from this. I'm aware I can kiss these coins goodbye.

What baffles me is how they accessed not one, but two of my different seed phrases.

Some of my suspicions:

  1. The seed phrases were stored in 1Password (I know, stupid, it's now fixed). However, there were other seeds in there for wallets containing about $5K, which the scammer didn't touch. Why would they leave those?
  2. 10 days earlier, I used portalbridge.com to bridge ETH to SOL. But I confirmed it was legit, and only connected one of the compromised wallets.
  3. Hours before the hack, I used [this guide](https://shoprestatement.com/blog/how-to-block-fast-fashion-brands-from-google-shopping-search-results/#paste-this-code) to filter some Google Shopping search results using uBlock Origin, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
  4. I had some apps cracked by m0nkrus, but they are considered legit as far as community trust goes. Also, these were installed quite some time ago.

Here's a breakdown of the transactions that occurred during the scam:

# Wallet 1a (ETH): 0xdcD7F0CC4B01d02Ab3963270F0Dd242ee2108d6C

  • 2.92 ETH stolen and transferred to 0xAfFD49F769F2Afc92b98C0BcAE86FBFb567f8F6D, then moved to FixedFloat (0x4E5B2e1dc63F6b91cb6Cd759936495434C7e972F).
  • 1,456.38 AGRS and 0.019 ETH stolen and transferred to 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6, where they currently remain.

    # Wallet 1b (BNB): 0xdcD7F0CC4B01d02Ab3963270F0Dd242ee2108d6C

124,583.39 SAITO and 55.44 XCAD swapped for 4.02 BNB via 0x1a1ec25DC08e98e5E93F1104B5e5cdD298707d31, then 4.49 BNB transferred to 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6.

# Wallet 2 (BNB): 0x805b2c2012f5Ea9607f4F2B8F8BeAdD126D10c7b

52,665.91 SAITO swapped for 1.59 BNB, which was then transferred to 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6.

The BNB from Wallet 1b and Wallet 2 was consolidated in 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6, and 6 BNB were moved to 0x6297EC9F725919A5FD2ca95240f59e09585871dA, before being transferred to a FixedFloat hot wallet (0x4727250679294802377dD6cA6541B8E459077c9).

The address 0x1a1ec25DC08e98e5E93F1104B5e5cdD298707d31 appears to be a contract linked to ongoing scams, judging from the comments posted on it, but I wasn't able to infer anything from these.

I've also filed a police report and reached out to FixedFloat. They've responded that they can investigate the scammer's server and order logs, potentially retrieving the IP address and other identifying details.

Any help would be appreciated!
