Topic: All my tokens in MEW stolen! - page 20. (Read 4551 times)
I think you entered your private key to the fake MEW, or click unknown source and your computer was infected by virus. Therefore you need to be cautious next time.
Can post your public address if people can help you trace those coins, if it was moved to exchange then the person may be tracked but I doubt the person will be dull enough to do that
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Use several different types of wallets to store your tokens.

Sorry for your losses friend. Don't take it too hard on yourself, try to recompose and start accumulating all over again. Crypto will still grow a lot and you'll be able to recuperate what you lost. Just make sure you spend some time researching security and be more careful in the future.
Maybe you logged into your computer at a local coffee shop or something? Thats the easiest way for someone to hack into your IP. Or maybe you give someone your KEY instead of your ETH address? I've almost done that a few times, its pretty stupid.
probably you leak your private key somewhere..sorry for that.. Actually I feel it's a bit difficult for normal people to maintain their keys.
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 may incorrectly enter your private key MEW. so you lose all the assets you have. if it's like this already, it's too late for you to take action. maybe with this kajadian you are required to be more vigilant in accessing MEW account.
so sad. mew should upgrade their security. just with private key is not enough. feels bad bro. the private key is the main think and people just have to hack our computer to get it.
There are phishing scams that email you free coins after the ethereum fork. Becareful of these scams as they will send out a link and mimic the myetherwallet website. Always check the url to make sure before inputting your private keys. Once the hackers record your private key, there is very little you can do.

Had you click recently any link from a mail, slack or telegram ? I think you open your MEW in a phising site so hacker steal your funds easily. In my own experience i received a mail from random sender and there is a link of rryetherw11et that if you do not checked the properly it look like the legit one of myetherwallet. Install metamask for your MEW.
publish you wallet address here and we will all tell you what happened to your tokens.
Is is an online wallet or a desktop wallet?
Do you share the computer with someone else?
Someone could install a keylogger on your machine and grab your keystore password.
There are many possible scenarios.
How many wallets do you have?
Are you sure your are using the right key file? it could be that you are using a keyfile for a diffrenet wallet but happens to use the same password.

Phishing attacks are way too common for MEW wallet. Always look for URL. It should be .com and no other TLD. Unfortunately you are scammed and the amount must have been moved to the hacker wallet and now you simply can't claim it. Now have a new wallet and be aware of phishing sites. Hide your private keys. This is what all I can suggest. I am devastated. Has anyone else been hacked how is this possible?

MEW is a very secure place. If you lose your penny, I am sure you have disclosed the information to others, or, you have used a fake website, and when you log your wallet into, it has stolen your money.
My friends also experience things like you, some have been stolen, Not just token balance but ETH balance in MEW is also stolen. Maybe it starts from our own mistakes so we have to be more careful. Hope you can be sincere and patient.
I feel very sorry for you , all great advice in this topic.
I hope you can start over and make some money again .

When you myetherwallet, bookmark it and always use the bookmark instead of typing in the address or google searching it. There are many fake MEW sites out there. Especially on the Slack channel. Never click or use those links that scammers message you with. Always use a paid antivirus, it's the best investment you can get. I recommend Bitdefender Total Security 2018.
be patient, and fix your fatigue, avoid hyip, project scams, and phishing. upgrade your antivirus, and delete some files that are indicated
What to say here more, when almost all was said. I just thing, you gave your private key to some airdrop web page, pretending to be legit. Other can be infected PC. From MEW is no other way to stole your tokens. Final words is this, is bad feeling see, that your balance is 0, this little coins what you have are probably some bounty paid after hack, but is no way to recover your lost, just take this as lesson for next time. Crypto is dangerous business and be carefull is not just empty words. Believe me, I know, what I wrote to you from my personal experience. Find some good Projects, invest there, secure coins, or tokens and try recover what you lost and move forward. Good luck!
Underneath your transaction balacne is a section called transaction history, check ETHexplorer.io. Your tokens will show up there if they are not stolen. Sometimes they don't show in your wallet but you can always check ETHexplorer to find them. Good luck, hope they weren't stolen.
If all tokens were transferred in just seconds, it was probably because of a phishing attack. If so it is not special to you.
