bitcoinpaperwallet.com scam lost 14.5 BTC Last night I made the mistake of using the website (while offline) to generate a wallet. I sent 0.1 then 14.5 BTC to it, and then 1 min later 14.51 was sent out to another paper wallet
here is the wallet I created and you can see the transactions

any advice on what I can do. I've accepted the loss and the lesson (should have used the offline generator) but want to make sure this doesn't happen to others
I am really sorry for your loss, unfortunately, there is no way to get those Bitcoins again.
I have seen other people who got scammed by this website like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/cyd6uj/bitcoinpaperwalletcom_scam_or_not_4_btc_stolen/
The best way to make the private key offline is using trustworthy software and when the computer will never connect to the internet again, otherwise, it will be possible to send the private key created to someone else when the computer is online again.
