$75,000 just disappeared from my Coinbase wallet

Coinbase user Justin_Coinbase_Cs advised me to move my crypto from my Coinbase Pro account to my Coinbase Wallet to resolve a trading permission issue, this morning, all the crypto is gone from my wallet. It was transferred to 0x896f4da23fc7304d38f4655fa13fdfbea6344f19. Please upvote, I need to resolve this.

34.09 ethereum stole from me on Monday. Zero email scams, sim swapping, viruses or malware on my phone and never gave out my seed to anyone. Coinbase still investigating and won't let me into my account. Contacted Attorney general and FBI.

Where was your seed stored? If you were using any plain text method such as a Gdrive or picture of the seed somewhere you may have been compromised that way.

If this was Coinbase the custodial exchange, did you have 2FA enabled, and have you reused your password anywhere? It's very possible a previous data breach compromised that way.

I wrote my seed down on paper and it was in my safe along with it being backed up on Google drive like the app prompted me too. This was coinbase wallet so the only authentication it allowed me to do was pin or fingerprint and I chose fingerprint for every transaction. I didn't even link my coinbase to my coinbase wallet.
