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.

You can actually check on where those coins of your did go or being transacted. You would able to find the hackers address but knowing on the identity of the owner then its not possible.This kind of situation is common among those people who don't really make safety precautions or tight security on their own private keys.You definitely disclose your private keys into the public which someone did able to know and see that and decide to hack your wallet.Sad to say that those coins are gone because transaction aren't reversible.This would really be a lesson learned for you.

yes if it really happened, it is your mistake in maintaining the private key,
so for the future it should change walllet, and be more careful

I think the reason for this is because you were not cautious of disclosing your private information and key to a third party or you clicked on a phishing site thereby the hacker got access to your private key because it is with this key that you will be able to access your funds.

I think you open your mew from email that have a link from mew site? because that's site was a phishing site the hacker make that to get your private key or you paste your private key to your bounty or any airdrop and more people can see you private key from spread sheet of the bounty that you apply or airdrops but my suspect is you log in your private key to the phising mew site.

I am not familiar with such cases, but I think that everything is possible and such a wallet is hacked.

I got scammed by fake airdrop from https://kentra.tech/kyc/ i lost my coins worth $7000, it's not a good a feeling but i guess just need to move on as I cannot do anything on what happened, the address that stole my coins is 0x0a796062214cf4fc232dd8538a19035ac79a595c , be careful with fake airdrops, it cost me a lot, lesson learned the hard way.

How they can scam you ? You give them your MEW key ? Airdrop or bounty will never request someone's key. Btw, you should use metamask. It's safer

we must never forget the simple rules of security . store your wallet login information only on portable devices

unfortunately you do not have a chance to return your coins if you have stolen a secret key, hide it securely.

Worst case scenario of people getting phished by giving away there private keys to hackers.
Be safe, keep your private keys safe, if you can , buy a hardware wallet instead like Ledger Nano S or Trezor or atleast install metamask.

It's very unpleasant to lose your money. I now use Avast Premier antivirus, it well blocks keyloggers and other viruses that are designed to steal your keys and passwords. As an option to switch to Apple's hardware, MacOS is not subject to such things as far as I know.

Mine also someone hacked my account and he stole all of my tokens. I dont know how he did it because i didnt give my private key to anyone. He's a good hacker because when i read some comments in his eth address there's a lot of people commented that his a good hacker and he did stole all their tokens in just one snap.

most likely someone found out your key and stole all the coins, I'm sorry, my friend also had and was sad, but he unfortunately could not return anything.

Now this is a sad news that one of our co-members was hacked with his hard earned tokens. Hope this will not happen again. Let us unite to fight this heartless hackers who seem to not having a loving family of their own. How can they give food to their family with the money they gained from stealing.

first of all I feel sorry for you and I hope not to repeat this case to friends who are in this forum.

- Try to check back Again your Ethereum address transactions go anywhere.
- Try to remember again, anyone who knows your Ethereum address and Private key besides you, suppose your relatives or friends.

because it is not possible to move the token when it knows the ETH address without knowing its private key.

Oh no, have you participated in any airdrops or bounties? maybe you just login into a fake MEW, i also experience this one, one of my friend in cebu city, philippines, just experienced lately, and that all his MEW balances were 0.00 because he just participated in an airdrop where he need to login his MEW account and put all the important info., without knowing he has been a victim of hacking account, and now he has been worried all day long, unfortunately, the money cant be recovered, because it has been transferred to another account., my advise is that not the trust anyone, you are obligue to safe keep your account.

Once the tokens are gone, there is hardly anything that you can do about it. MEW is a strong wallet, but if someone gets your private key then no amount of security precautions can prevent the tokens from getting stolen.

Oh, very sad. Your all tokens stolen in MEW. Its reason that you mentioned your key in your account. So anybody stolen your all tokens very easily.

I am also sad to hear that. This is my biggest fear. Because it is online I always feel vulnerable to any kind of hack despite I take care many things in security concepts.

I have been compromised too. MEW is not a safe please to store tokens if you don't safeguard your assets very well. Yesterday my TIO was stolen by this account here 0x221B9BAA14568685D49C3D4BC7D68B596D685506 the said 650 TIO was mine and I can prove it. If only there is someone to investigate about stuffs like this, people could have been saved from these malicious intent. This persons account is active and have ether on it, are there any possible means to track him down?
