Scammed out of 250 Eth worth of NFTs becuz of Metamask QR mobile sync

Screenshot 20210825 at 10.17.53 PM.png

It seems that Metamask's new feature to sync with mobile has ended badly for this user. You can practically sync your entire metamask wallet to your mobile now by just exposing the QR code given.

Its really convenient however there are severe consequences if you accidentally shared that QR code with someone. For this user unfortunately it cost him a lot.

Do take care and please be extremely careful when dealing with the security of your funds.

You can read the entire sequence of how the hack ( thru social engineering ) took place from his tweet in the link above.

Cheers all and stay safe !
