Topic: $8,000 worth ETH stolen - page 3. (Read 601 times)
I have also changed my wallet's address several times, first I lost my wallet because I have spread my private key. Second, just as you have, I am very angry at that moment because my money is gone without me knowing what causes it. Then, I found some purported wallet addresses to automatically send eth to hacker addresses. That I realized when I tried to save some of my tokens from the next bounty.
You wont be hacked,if you know how to protect yourself,security should be tighten so that your efforts wont be wasted.Thos hackers are indeed good and can do everything that they want,they can use phishing website,or phishing links thru your email,and can be something else like viruses and malwares.To protect your keys install metamask extension that blocks phishing websites,use hardwallets to protect your wallet from viruses and malwares in your computer.
My ETH account got hacked.
And looks like he is still hacking other accounts.
How do you think that the hacker got hold of your coin, collecting and investing in coins is one part but make sure you learn how to take care of your coins, if not the risk is higher always make sure you do bookmark the site you are visiting, have to come to a conclusion on what really happened and how you think it got hacked. And looks like he is still hacking other accounts.
hackers will stop at nothing just to steal, these days i get email that are from most bounties asking me to verify an account i very well know i didn't create, i thank God i am knowledgeable of their operations because i have been hacked 3 times on my eth wallets. the money can not be recovered. so sorry
You cant track who stole your coins,and you can get it back! its your fault not ours if you could have some good hardwallet or atleast metamask extension installed you wont be hacked easily as these two basic things are enough to protect you from phishing sites and malware and viruses from your infected computer,and you still wont need to worry about your keys.
There's no way to get back the transactions that is already confirmed. This is a cryptoworld, we must understand that hackers is more here and I know if you just take care of your details for sure you will not be hacked. Be careful on giving information and be wise on joining signature campaign or even airdrop because some of them is just a scam.
I was very sorry. Thieves always find a way. I do not know how to deal with them, hardware wallet seems to be the best. Hope you will win again
My ETH account got hacked.
My ETH address: 0xeA93c05EEbfb134951B1bFac10358625B7A12C43
I did bounty and collected tokens from 29 ICOs. I kept them so when the price increased then I will sell them.
But a hacker stole my account.
Hacker's ETH address: 0x405e23ddfdc59e847cbf6f953d0115ed2ae96a8e
I kept everything secure and nobody knew my private key. Dont know how I got hacked.
Is there a way to identify the hacker from that address?
And can I do anything to get my ETH & tokens back?
And looks like he is still hacking other accounts.

Sadly we all know that most crypto's and token transactions are irreversible and no name attached to it, so I doubt that you have the chance to get it back. The only thing I can think of is that you are probably phished, that's why he was able to gain access to your private keys.
And really sorry that you lost a lot of money mate, and I just checked the account and it looks like it all happened like 7 hours ago. All we can do right now and just be vigilant and really take care of our accounts because those hackers are really targeting everyone here, specially those account who have a fairly huge amount on their wallets.

Its your negligence ,you could have used hardwallet these wallets are the most secured place to store your tokens,or coins.You could have installe metamask extension to protect your browser from getting access to those malicous websites or potentil phishing sites.You arent going to be safe from these websites,if you dont follow the basic secutity procedures.
There are few possibilities,one phishing sites,or phishing email addresses, they could have targeted your emails when you are joining airdrops,that is why it is better to use dummy emails,so to prevent this from happening again you should have install metamask extension so if you are using decentralized exchanges you wont need to put your keys because these exchanges shouldnt be trusted.
What a big problem. 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
There's no other ways to recover the hacked wallet. It is a must to be careful in every links you are entering a lot of frauds, hacking attack or phishing website. I think op are one of a victim of phishing links where he open his etherwallet. This is really a sad happen $8000 worth of eth stolen is a huge of amount so better next time to save into a secured wallet.
This is very sad. Sometimes its difficult imaging how someone will just take over another person's money which he has worked tiredlessly to achieve. Sorry to say that there is nothing you can do about the coins that are gone. But just create a new account and transfer the others there.

I thought you were logged into a phishing website and you entered privatekey / jason into the link so that what was in your wallet was stolen. But I also do not really know if your wallet is really hacked ??
Maybe he click links because its really not possible to be hacked by just doing nothing.
Let's be more careful next time since a lot of phishing site out there and if you just not taking any reviews about the link for sure you will become the new victim.
That's sad to know... specially when a proper user got tricked by uncosiderate hackers. Know that crypto uses blockchain technology and usually, once the transaction is successful, there is no way to get it back what ever you do. Another thing is that the anonymity of user also applies to transactions thats why you cant chase after the hacker... just sad.
It cant be steal if you are protecting your keys,you could have login or put your privatekeys in some safe place that no one but you have access,you could have installed metamask extension because it is encrypting the privatekeys of your wallet whenever you are trying to trade in decentalized exchanges,because you wont need to manually put your private keys to these websites when you are using metamask.
There must definately be an issue somewhere, otherwise, the hacker couldnt have had access to your account. Maybe you entered your private key into a phishing site, or someone closer to you, had access to them. But right now, there is nothing you can do about it.
Phishing sites of course,the hacker wont know his keys not unless he save it in his computer,or some email addresses because these hackers can do everything,no system is safe which is why sooner or later someone might crack the cryptocurrencies.He could use metamask extension to block those phishing sites,or he could use some hardwallets.If the amount was in the MEW wallet and it's not possible to use email as a way to get the privatekey. The only possible thing to send the suspicious link.

You should have done your part,protecting your keys, you could have used a hardwallet so that there will be no chance for these computer viruses and malwares to infect your computer,or alteast you could have installed the metmask extension which protects your browser from accessing phishing and malicious websites so you wont be fooled by these hackers.
