Crypto commentator Bold loses $90,000 from new Phantom wallet days after infostealer infection on separate PC

The commentator reports losing roughly $90,000 after creating a new Phantom wallet on a Mac and syncing it to an iPhone, only to see it drained days later despite the earlier malware infection having occurred on a separate Windows PC that was fully wiped. No other wallets were affected. The author speculates the seed phrase may have been exposed via the clipboard when copying it to the phone, and questions whether Chrome, a keylogger, or an iCloud compromise could be involved. The funds reportedly ended up in a wallet already flagged for phishing theft.
