I logged in to etherflyer with my private keys and after months of leaving it logged in, I scanned my wallet today and only to find out that my ether has been moved to a new wallet. Is that my fault as in a friend of mine stealing my coins or it may be from the etherflyer team?
All my other wallets are intact.
My wallet address on etherscan: https://etherscan.io/address/0xd18a2aea95b1e992402be37e368c510fba8b7ae0
Now moved to: https://etherscan.io/address/0x7ab9da14bf20fad590201c52b946bad767a584f2

Please I need your your advice. Thanks

I guess your private key has been stolen and they have accessed your address. Check your computer for any malware

The possibility for your case :

1. You have put your private key on phising site.
2. Somebody are know your private key.

Maybe you remember something you have done with that listed above

Those mentioned were the possible ways by which your funds have got moved to some other wallets. These days more phising websites which resemble same as the original website are into existence. It is our responsibility to cross check the url as well have a bookmark of the true website. This will help us keep the funds secure.

The main cause is access to your wallet address has been known by others, so that, they can freely take the ether that you have and it seems there is someone knowing the private key that you have or maybe you have also entered a site with other devices so, you forget to log out from the site and as a result other users will be able to access the wallet you have, my advice is better if you change your wallet address in the future.

If the money was transferred to another wallet that you do not know, the money will not be returned already, somewhere means you lit your private key .

I could be your acquaintances that has your security codes or you have mistakenly logged into a phishing site without be aware of it for that long. Is unfortunate, to retrieve it back might be a mercy case, that is if it is your friend but a hacker might not return back.

Did you share your private keys with someone else? Like others said, you might have entered your information on a replica site and you might have got phished. Also your computer might be infected with a virus, so make sure its clean. I have heard of viruses that reads your clipboard (when you copy something). I don't see any other reason for your private keys to be stolen. I am pretty much sure it wasn't etherfly.

It can be anyone, if you have shared some information with your friends, exchange or anyone else, you can forget about the safety of your funds. Transfer all of your tokens to a fresh wallet and forget about this exchange.

Cases like this have also been experienced by my friend, he forgot to copy his account when he no longer uses the exchange, so now I always do the account when I have finished trading there to keep our wallet safe, because when it happens like this it is very difficult to accuse other people.

I couldn't find any bad reputation about Etherflyer after a few mins of google search so I doubt that Etherflyer would just steal your ethers. It's probably your friend whom you suspected or probably a third party that infected your computer. Because the only way an exchange would steal your crypto is when they are about to exit the game. It that case, your friend stole your ether.

You should never entrust your wallet to anyone, even your family members.

Exchange always wanted to have a good chance working with the traders, convincing them to stay. So it's hard to believe that they are the ones who's gonna wreck up with your assets, not unless the sites have that reputation for scamming people. It's not easy to trace who's going to be the one who did this to you. But same with many other people who replied here, chances that your friend who knows your private key can transfer your ETH.

Other than that, phishing site also have possible if you didn't bookmark the site.

Decentralized exchanges work with smart contracts, so I do not think it is possible. Maybe friend´s metamask was hijacked? Or he has in the computer a spyware?

I experienced it too, I never use Idex before but 2 months ago I used it for the first time because the token that I was holding listed there. Just like OP, I used my own wallet and integrate it with them. I did not logout because I thought everything will be fine, but 2 weeks after I am using it. All of my balance and tokens were moved out,
so I think everything is possible, they might not do it openly but the chance for them to do it is high too.

Exchange never does that.
During my play here (crypto space), I never found an exchange that took our assets. Be it eth or other crypto. Because the exchange will keep their good name for. If that name has been damaged, people will not trade again there.

The most tangible reason could be that a friend has your password and has used it against you. Either than that, then you didn't log in to the genuine Etherflyer website. Decentralized exchanges dont have access to your password

I don't get it why you would enter your privatekey to an exchange, its not like you can't create another account into it. Etherdelta and forkdelta though allowing traders to login with privatekey, you should just create new account and then send your funds there. There may be transaction fee but those are just few coins.

What I only see here is that your friend is transferring some ether to the new wallet. You have you own private keys, and you can only access that through that except that your friend also knew your private key. And haven't the exchange send you a warning that some different IP address has logged in to your account? You can trace it by that.

There is no way that it will be logged in for so long. I even leave my wallet in decentralized exchage but it will be automatically logged out. It is really hard for a crypto wallet to be hacked unless you have share it with someone so basically someone you know did that thing.

I agree, maybe private keys were entered on phishing site without being notice or you left your private key with your friend. A device that was not log out can open by someone immediately after you left. No one to blame but you because you are responsible on your own private keys.

You sound as if you already know where the fault came from,your post is already holding your friend responsible for the missing ETH so why don't you just ask him? And before this happened why did you share your wallet with your friend or how did your friend knew about your ETH?

I guess that your friend decided that you have abandoned cryptoworld (as there were no movements in wallet for 250+ days) and transferred your ETH.

Try asking your friend if he knows something about that transaction.

possibilities of the cause might be one of the following. .
1. You mistakenly leaked out your private key
2. You fall victim to phishing links when browsing the web
3. Your friend betrayed
4. Your PC is hacked either by spyware or malware
