Topic: $8,000 worth ETH stolen (Read 659 times)
This is sad but it looks weird, maybe you may have followed a phishing email or something. Also why should you keep so much in just one wallet at least divide it and use so many wallets so that even if you get hacked from one,you will still be safe somehow.Hackers are always been smarter so be alert.
Unfortunately, nothing can be changed already. Apparently you visited a phishing site and there entered your private key, after this scammer got access to your wallet.
if I personally think it is better for you to check your account regularly and be careful in storing your password key. for your hacked tokens and ico, it looks like you won't get it again and you have to explain it
Sorry to learn that however I do think you have signed in your record or private key to a phishing site which si why your keys are stolen,you could keep this from utilizing metamsk augmentation in your browser,that is the reason you ought to do your best to keep those private keys secured,do not spare your keys into a plac where the programmers can without much of a stretch access it.,use hardwallet and you will be fine.
If you have stolen tokens from your crypto currency purse, then you still have somewhere to disclose your data. You can not now return tokens, unfortunately. Next time, change your wallet sometimes.
I am afraid that you are not going to get it back in the near future. You can set a watch on that address as eventually the hacker will want to move and possibly sell the tokens and you may try to get info from a exchange. But for 8k is probably not worth the effort of a legal requirement.
It really a bad news, I think may you login your walker on some website because some websites do ask for someone private key or maybe your private key linked out from where you stored it I think so.
You loose a large amount of money I feel sorry for what you are going thru,maybe next time you need to be extra careful of your wallet so that it won't happen again..

Is there a way to identify the hacker from that address?
And can I do anything to get my ETH & tokens back?

Cryptocurrency is so anonymous that no one could trace a particular transaction to anybody. That is why you have to be careful with your pass key.

Its possible that you have exposed your private key unknowingly and the hackers are very sharp at their walk. Its so sad that the hackers have stolen all your funds and I doubt if you can recover the stolen funds because transactions on the blockchain is irreversible.
Your private keys may be stolen utilizing phishing sites,and you could have spared your cash when you have introduced metamask expansion in the primary place.Buy some hardwallets and im beyond any doubt you will be secured,you dont need to stress over these phishing sites,viruses and malwares in your PC in light of the fact that hardwallets has additional layer of assurance.
I think you can't do anything. but accept it that your coins has been compromise. Admit it or not you should be responsible of your private keys. The best thing that you can do is buy a hard ware wallet and keep your private key safe.
Do not give your private key to any site/DEX. Use metamask, do not install any suspicious software and have good anti phishing software. And also be cautious. It is really easy to get your private keys if you are careless enough
There should be some reasons…you got hacked
Might possible you enter your private key on any phishing site or disclose your information accidently with someone, may be you receive some mail from any suspicious person regarding to collect your token by filling this form etc.
That is a major mistake, so in future please avoid these kinds of mail or form.
Lastly difficult to trace or get back your tokens, but next be careful.

Malware attempts in hacking is rampant nowadays. I also got victimized by this kind of hack. I am still lucky that i don't put my egg in one basket.
Lesson learned in hard way. Better to be safe than sorry. Now, I practice basic security practice and planned to buy Hardwallet next month.
Unfortunately, nothing can be done. You can forget about your tokens ... It could happen for different reasons. Perhaps you made a mistake and entered your private key on the fishing site, or malware was installed on your computer ... All the same, the optimal option for storing tokens is hardware wallets.
There is nothing to be done for the stolen ETH. In the world of virtual money, it is impossible to follow the money. Since there is no legal sanction, it is not possible to do anything for the money stolen.
Thats one of the disadvantages of unregulated cryptocurrency, you cant do any legal actions regarding the issue. Although it can be tracked, the addresses that has been used and involved. It's really sad to hear people who got stolen. Best thing we could do is to maximize our security as of now.

In your case, it is very likely that you entered your private key on a phishing site. Now you should check your computer and mobile phone immediately for viruses. If you store the private key on your computer or mobile phone, it may be The virus steals your data!
I think you got nothing to do. You can even save your privacy (secret keys) then how can you recover this, I believe there is no way to get the funds back
