if you have $40k in a software wallet you are a grade-A MORON. Spend $60 on a hardware wallet and this whole class of attacks goes away. I genuinely do feel bad for some of these people. Crypto is in a state right now where you can use it for the intended purpose (crime) if you're technical, and if you're non-technical it is very easy to be victimized by the people doing crime. The genius is that everybody thinks they're pulling one over on somebody else until they get cleaned out.
