I was hacked and had all of my PPT stolen from my MEW account, just over 24 hours after having received them from the Pre-Ico contract address. & no, I don't click any fake MEW sites or phishing links - I have since had my computer checked out thoroughly by 3 crypto security experts, where no trace of accessing anything other than the official mew site, or anything else dodgy was found, and my Mac is clear of any Malware. Spyware or RATS.
Frustrated that the Populous team hadn't been more aware of the now obvious security exploits within Slack, that hackers are able to take advantage of. I've since found out that other teams that have launched recent ICO's such as FunFair, switched to Discord weeks ago, as soon as they became aware that using slack posed potential risks to their investors. Their priority was protecting the very people who have supported them.
Now I've been kicked from the Populous slack channel for venting my frustration.
To be fair, I said "I bet some cunt in here hacked me" -& whilst not directed at anybody specifically, and perhaps not the most eloquent use of language, I wasn't actually offending anyone directly, being nasty, or causing any trouble, I was just venting, understandably, but yet this was enough to get me booted from the chat.
Other members in the slack chat were calling the CEO a Nigerian scammer the other day, and sending messages that could really be perceived as racist discrimination, but yet, they are still interacting in the chat.
But I get booted?
WTF
Thanks a lot.
BTW - Here's the hacker, making his merry little may with the entirety of my once modest, but now non-existent portfolio.

Wow, I am really sorry to see that you got hacked man. That is just another reason why I stay off of all communications channels except here. with the price being suppresed if you have more ether you could get a few back before it goes back up!
