Damn, that was an intense read! I was scratching my head as I read along, wondering wtf you actually did to recover.
I didn't know the bit about the encrypted vault file for Metamask. I have mine linked to a HW wallet so that insulates me from a brute force crack somewhat, assuming they haven't stolen my HW wallet in addition to the hard drive.
I didn’t have a hardware spare wallet to hook up to my account to. Big mistake on that! Am going to look for how to transfer that all over now that I have a new one. You should be safe as long as your wallet isn’t stored on your computer.
Hell of a Read. I'll definitely double check and have my family check their MM seed phrases
