It was a very old wallet, and I didn't keep much funds there, the reason it got compromised was a malicious browser extension that led to my private key being leaked
Always audit your extensions and check them carefully before downloading anything
This type of hack is very common in Web3, and many people get hacked this way
I'm working on something that could help solve this issue. Will release it soon
Btw, stay safe ✌️ https://x.com/Ritesh5969/status/2103486970462925084
