Hi bitcointalk users,

I am really asking for your help and understanding. Tonight i was hacked. My wallet (0x005AFd8B9823e54A398505e88DC62042C00a528E) was attacked during the night and someone stole around $260k. I entered the wallet to check my funds and found that half is missing. How can this happen? I mean i was never sharing my private key with anyone and .json file was in safe place. I was logged on with MetaMask for a long time and last time i shared my private key was in Etherdelta account 2 months ago. On my opinion, private key or .json could not have been compromised physically or by anybody.

Really stupid that this scammer started with tiny DATAcoin in amount of 0.57 cents... then Arcblock, Dragonchain and Nebulas and again Monaco $8 amount and then others. It looks really strange. Because other half of $250k amount he didnt touch. Here is scammers wallet (0xF2b4e6123F05D6b7c44Fefa4F0AD243E7d3A81cB). The other half was sent by me after 9-10 hours after scam to new wallet. Please can you have a look and help me with this issue? Any advices upon this issue?
Are you sure you didn't share your private key to anyone? Because many users are giving their private key and address while participating on bounties and airdrops who are the most of the victims of the hackers.By the way there is no possibility to someone hack your wallet without your private key.But why he lest the other $250K worth funds left.

Have you recently got into myetherwallet?
Most likely you have been exposed to phishing, fake sites that resemble the original site and they have stolen your private key.
Your actions are right to move the rest of your assets, I am sad that I can not help you and see what happened to you. Advice from me, if you want to hold alt for long term, consider buying and using nano ledger or trezor.
