I just logged into MEW and when check my balance everything except 45 tokens everything else has gone! My wallet was hacked, but where have all my tokens gone?

I am devastated. Has anyone else been hacked how is this possible?


I am not sure what to do! please advice folks.

I'm afraid to upset you, but you won't return the stolen goods. Perhaps you have entered a private key, not on the official website, but most likely it was the scammers who you gave it to yourself.

Without the private keys no one can stole any of your coin.
You must secure your private keys offline.

I've had this and fortunately I just had a few tokens at that time, after that I made a new wallet and will be careful when storing private key and not giving to anyone, because the cause of hacked our wallet is we are fooled by phishing links that require to give our private key and foolishly we give it. it is the cause of my wallet being hacked.

That's horrible news.  Someone gained access to your private keys either digitally or physically.  Lock everything down, wipe the computer and get back to grinding and make up the lost.  This is one of those life tests.  Pass it and down the road you will be rewarded. 
maybe it includes phishing so someone can access private key. we must clean the computer as one of the initial action, so that in the future can be avoided from theft that has ever been experienced.

Hi my friend, I'm sorry about your problem. I guess you have use the private key or key stone to log in new. It is not safe, and think next time you should use the meta mask is better.

It's very strange and sad to realize that there have been similar cases before but I think that the vulnerability can only be in your mindfulness, in the future it seems to me that you will need to tell the local version of MEW.

And now there is an opportunity to lose your money, you can only secure yourself by having several computers, and the ability to isolate work with your wallets from other sites and applications. In fact, there is always a chance to lose your money and it is necessary to behave very carefully in the Internet.

If you cracked your wallet and stole all your tokens, it means that you did not carefully monitor the security of your access key. You should think about who could have access to it and where you used it recently.

I think you should register neither the private key, nor the password, nor the seed on computer ... All on paper!

Underneath your exchange balacne is a segment called exchange history, check ETHexplorer.io. Your tokens will appear there in the event that they are not stolen. At times they don't appear in your wallet however you can simply check ETHexplorer to discover them. Good fortunes, trust they weren't stolen.

Do not put your private key in anywhere ,and you should know only this and hopefully could not tell it in anybody, because now hacking is everywhere and you cant know if there is coming up to you.

I also became a victim of scammers once, having connected my purse to the decentralized exchange Etherdelta, all my tokens were stolen from me. It turned out that it was a phishing site. Now I always check the availability of the certificate on the sites.

Sorry for you, but not yourself you are experiencing such a situation. I still advise new users to use wallets like metamask, imtoken .. or better wallet types like ledge ..
