Just off a remote support session with a USA client. An Apple MacBook compromised. Firewall disabled. Malware DMG, cache and cookies corrupted. Sanitised and stabilised the system. Client had lost all of their digital assets from a METAMASK WALLET.

METAMASK is clearly much too easy to compromise. CYBER FORENSIC INVESTIGATION
Found all the trace route IP addresses and now doing a cyber forensic investigation. Will soon conduct a forensic financial blockchain investigation into the all the digital assets. Curate the evidence, then hand back to the client.
FBI TRIAGE?
FBI is applying triage through a 'financial minimum limit' that applies to a minimum to invoke Federal jurisdiction through rule 314a. If your loss isn't big enough, tough luck, it might not be picked up by Federal.

And the necessity for Software vendors to teach law enforcement how to do this. PROPERLY. The work of Blockchain Downunder
