When there’s an unauthorized transaction in your wallet, it’s most probably that your wallet is compromised. Someone else has either your secret phrase or your approval of using the assets. The first thing you should do is to rescue the remaining assets in your wallet before they are transferred out by scammers.
Follow the steps below ASAP:
- Log out of the current account. Make sure you’ve written down the secret phrases of the scammed wallet before logout.
- Create a new KuCoin Wallet on your mobile.
- Back up the secret phrase and store it in a safe place. Never share it with anyone else.
- Log in to the compromised account again and send any remaining assets to the newly created account. Once you’ve transferred all the available assets, it’s suggested to discontinue using the old wallet.
