Short answer If your crypto disappeared after clicking a link, stop using that wallet immediately. Do this right now: • Do not sign anything else • Do not reconnect that wallet to any website • Move any remaining assets to a brand-new wallet immediately • Revoke all active token approvals • Save every transaction hash before doing anything else If funds are already gone, the priority is no longer prevention—it is containment, evidence preservation, and stopping a second drain.
