Account was hacked 20minutes ago, everything is transfered to his account
Is it possible to revert transaction or something?
Thanks

@puremage111 I'm sorry this happened but there's no way of reverting a transaction...
Or your passphrase was insecure or you got hacked (maybe a keylog or something)...
-
Yeah, as previously i created 3 wallet, 2 passphrase auto generated and 1 passphrase manual generated. And among 3 i used the manual generated account where i didn't realize that the passphrase is just so weak.
4x4(character) word in continuous form.
The wallet kinda notify me all the time but i ignore it, guess lesson learned here :)

@puremage111 Welcome to the club no-one wants to be a member of. I had an account with a manually generated weak password, it got hacked as well. Lesson learnt .... use the auto generated one, and even mix that up some replacing letters with numbers or symbols.
-
can you change your passphrase to something more difficult so you can keep your wallet and not go thru that setup process again?
-
@mrgoldy No, passphrases cannot be changed. Your account ID is basically a hash of your passphrase - different passphrase, different ID. If you have a weak passphrase, generate a strong one, transfer your funds and assets, and replot you files.

@haitch I have the standard 12 word passphrase that is randomly generated when starting out. Should I get something more secure?
-
@mrgoldy I brute forced a three word password in a month, a four word password will take about 135 years, a 12 word password would take longer than the universe has existed ..... So no, the generated password is fine. If you create a second account, add or substitute some letters with numbers/symbols. Using non-dictionary words from the default list will make it completely unrealistic to be brute forced.

I've wanted to create for security for a long time and I never did, and today, when I read this, I've finally decided.
I do not know if it will be safer or not but to me it gives me that feeling and it is what counts so today I happened to have a password of the type:(=Ycg{SdP"x,h69_J(rsG423G+B-]Q%}gR:=m#`udXggK(Hd+$sK+B%^"[Sev=LyM=h{dkg.B^:_;h'r\)P3uwb+hyF5QxT.:}b@B?f-Yk}H%'ayQCWR[={pm*aLzKxn+*v-<R7~nd<[&UrX:$P==`mx*aQt4}$,Ht:~S$x#RJ'h=}fT!p^:PU_5&/*(R~bF8,cR`x~?U74Z@PCJe
