The streamer had his seed phrase saved in a desktop notes application, which became visible to viewers when he shared his screen. Shortly after the exposure, unauthorized transactions were made from his wallet, depleting his funds. 
A seed phrase, or a recovery phrase, is a sequence of words generated when a cryptocurrency wallet is created. This phrase serves as a master key, granting full access to the wallet and its contents. Anyone possessing the seed phrase can control the associated funds, making its confidentiality paramount. 
The streamer’s experience underscores the critical importance of safeguarding seed phrases. Storing them in easily accessible digital formats, such as desktop notes, poses significant security risks. 
Best practices recommend writing the seed phrase on paper and keeping it in a secure, offline location. Additionally, enabling hardware wallets and two-factor authentication can provide extra layers of protection. 
This incident highlights the importance of vigilance in managing sensitive information during live streams or public content creation.&nbsp;
