I think I already discussed the issue with you privately and you revoked the suspicious permissions as well.
The issue is your address sadly approved a permission for the other ‘malicious’ address/contract to spend your asset (i.e. in your case it was stETH) while there is nothing directly wrong with Lido’s contract itself.
This malicious issue is not just associated to Lido’s stETH only but could be any tokens. I am happy to see more discussions or solutions coming out in the whole industry.
However, as a user, we currently have to avoid interacting with any unknown or suspicious contracts, tools or sites.
I am in the same situation. I haven’t had any interaction with my Lido account for several months.
On December 15, following the problem with ledger, I took a look at my Lido stETH staking and surprise… on December 12 my balance was emptied! How is it possible ?
Best thing I can tell you is count it as a loss on your taxes , I staked 1.4 ethereum with lido and forgot to unstake before transferring 280 days ago , I’ve tried multiple time going though there process and didn’t help one bit , may be best to ask your accountant about taking a loss on schedule d form that way you can get the loss against your income , save you some money there . I’m done with crypto never had a problem until I got a ledger then staked with lido , never got any gains from staking with lido either what was that about , cosmos , ethereum nada , wasted time and total loss .quick mention if you ever buy a house the banks don’t care about your crypto but they do care about your stocks remember that when investing . Wish you the best , this has wasted so much of my time . I’m done
