Oh. How could you not keep your computer safe like that? In cryptocurrency, this is the first thing you should take care of. You have forgotten the main rule of crypto investor.

To avoid such tragedies - do not be greedy and allow yourself to spend only $ 100 to purchase Trezor hardware wallet. This will protect you from all the troubles associated with hackers forever. Your peace of mind is worth only 100 dollars for it once.
A wallet should not have to have a high value plus a free wallet is more customizable. Just put a password on it.

Most likely you told someone your private key or stored it in the cloud storage. Or maybe you visited a phishing site or downloaded software with a virus. There are many options, but you need to now take into account your mistakes in order not to become a victim again in the future.

you can track the delivery of tokens on tx but it will be difficult to identify hackers because shipping usually leads to the Exchanger address
for the future, it is better to store the private key on the external as on the hard disk because it is safer
Not necessarily. I think it's possible that he accidentally accessed phishing domains. The best way is to visit a strange link every time, use the online virus scan tool. To secure yourself from loss.

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.




Your json file or private keys might be hacked. It is possible with fishing or malware. It is impossible to recover your coins, so store your access keys safer next time.

Sorry for your loss, you must have been tricked in giving your private key away to email phishing or phishing website. Assume that your computer is vulnerable to attack and take necessary steps to protect your funds!

I feel sorry for you. But do not worry, you will earn even more money than you have stolen. The main thing now is reinstalling the operating system, never follow suspicious links and never download files from unofficial resources.

You should keep your private key as safe as possible. Do not entrust it to anyone! Not even your mother! It is not bad to doubt everyone especially when it comes to your money or investments.

Never click on suspicious sites or links sent to your email. This is the most common way of phishing. I just can't see why many still fall for this! If a link was sent to you and it is to direct you to your wallet address, don't fall for that. It's an obvious phishing attempt. Go directly to the main site. This is the safest access.
I agree. Phishing would seem a ridiculous attempt to steal money, but unfortunately it is still very effective. Often people are not attentive where they go and where they enter their key and because of the usual neglect they find themselves in such situations.
All my tokens also been hacked, and hacker is still taking away new ones that come for old bounty ...Now my wallet has 3th owners besides me. And that means that the hacker also sells stolen keys. Those two are stupid, they are here, on BTT with addresses of recipients' wallets. Hacker is clever. He is careful and works with new wallets only through exchanges, even eth on commission he replenished from exchanges. It is impossible to calculate and find his!
Maybe you should contact the DT member to give that man red trust to his account so that atleast they got an impact of what they are doing. But be sure to bring the evident because otherwise
you will be accused of lying if your evidences is not enough or atleast not strong enough.
give all the evidence you have so that the DT in this forum makes a solution in the future. because until now I've seen the same case several times. need some ideas to make this case minimized

This is quite a pity. You just have to start all over again. But this time, you must take extra caution in securing your wallet. Protect your keys very tight and back it up in several offline devices.

Just take and buy a hardware wallet. This is the best way to help you protect yourself from hackers. It is not necessary to invent anything, the cost of a hardware wallet is small, 100 - 200 dollars.

It's a bad idea for you to only have one wallet because it can diminished all ,you must able to transfer in every wallet to avoid for that and to protect your earnings as well .This is your lesson so make sure to be aware by the next time.
Most of the hardware wallet are really difficult to be hacked because it requires you to insert the code shown in the device in every step you take when it comes to using your wallet.
Also, most of hardware wallet will generate new address once the latest one used so it's more safe and convenient.

I think you made some mistakes on your part. MEW itself is very difficult to hack, much easier to hack your mail or your computer.

You know, when 65 million worth tokens are stolen from the exchange, your loss seem so smole. However, we can see that level of security in cryptocurrency area is not in the best condition, so you should look for better options to save your data.

Always afraid of it.  Sad A friend recently had such a case. The person who stole the coins even sent ETH to complete transactions. 
Of course, at first, a friend shouted that he had been hacked. But he admitted that he had moved to the phishing site and entered the key there ...
Losing everything is very disappointing. But you need to at least a little to follow on what links you go. I saw many times in spreadsheets, people instead of the address of the wallet entered the key ...What is there more to say? So, it was not necessarily hacking. You can hurt yourself.

You should make a little investigation to find out who exactly has stolen your private keys. There is no other way for random person to get your tokens. Hope that this is a scammer and not a person that you trust. Good luck and keep your head up!
