My ETH funds were stolen and I am sure I didn't give out or handled carelessly the Mnemonic phrase, JSON file, private key nor the key store. Please I want to know ways by which a cryptocurrency wallet could be hacked.
I heared this case already, and it is scary that eventhough you keep all the necessary things to be private but still you are hacked. Maybe there are sites in which you visited and there the hackers hacked your private informations. It is just my guess.

You need to look yourself and explore the entire structure to choose the right wallet. Always rely on yourself and work your way up. 
Interesting idea. I think you will succeed if you know the market well and move forward. Do it in a way that makes sense. Everything's going to be OK.

I have heard cases like this, and I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. As far as I know, if you don't give your wallet private key to someone else, but it's hacked because you have clicked on a particular link. Try to remember, on which site you have visited. It could be that one of the consequences of your wallet being hacked.
Thefts are usual event here, crypto is anonymous and theft is easier to be done here, I hope that there will be any insurance for crypto in future.
according to your story, your account is safe, but the problem is you might have to click something, or you have a virus in your computer which records all information about your account and sends the data to the theft. this can happen if we are not careful and we are click something that we don't know, and I heard that some of my friends lost their tokens too and they tell me that they save their private key and everything without telling anybody. maybe need to reinstall your computer and scan all of your data and make sure that your computer doesn't contain the virus.

What are the websites that you visited recently? My suspect is you just became careless and you logged in to a phishing link though you said that you are careful of not giving out your keys, you are still vulnerable to log in to a fake site / phishing site that you aren't aware if you are in a hurry or you just really don't care of that site you are logging in. Like what has been said, you probably downloaded something that contains malware that affected your computer that allowed the intruders to touch your files on your pc.Just stick with desktop wallet that has 2fa and everything will be fine, just imagine if you tighten the security earlier you won't lose that money.
Install metacert chrome extension and bookmark myetherwallet, if it is possible to install a desktop wallet like mycrypto desktop application, it's really depressing if your funds are stolen without knowing why it was stolen better check your browsing history to track what have gone wrong.
Maybe your computer virus infected. Try to scan your computer with a good antivirus software to find out.

Many things allow your wallet to be hacked, including being careful of phishing sites that allow your wallet's private key to be known by others and you lose everything. Be careful when giving identity, because various ways are done by fraudsters to make a profit.
It's all in my opinion simply. Your entire tokens have been stolen by your conscientious participant in the company. Now wait for your tokens to soon pop up somewhere on the stock exchange. He does not need to choose a good stock exchange, medium enough.
Cryptocurrency theft does have various risks, ranging from high levels of volatility, fears of a bubble or bubble, fraud in the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) or initial coin offerings, and theft of tokens stored in a digital wallet.

We all know that all the crypto currencies available in the market are decentralised one and there is no such proper authentic regulating body over these crypto currencies who could keep eye over all the activities of these crypto and thus leading to the illegal use of crypto like in selling drugs, explosives, money laundering etc and moreover the crypto transactions does not involve any third party seizure thus no third person is able to track the transaction between the two and this leading to illegal activities with crypto currencies.

Someone on the inside had to have gotten your keys. The algorithms protecting Ethereum cannot be hacked that we know of. You got a rat inside. Figure out who it is and lock down all your electronics.
this is the saddest part where someone is being pished you need to get very careful of what site you are trying to click because virtual theft, scammers, fishing site and any click bait will steal everything especially your coins and funds in your wallet and maybe you identity too. i hope you will recover from this experience and become more careful from now on

Well what coins do you hold? , what wallet do you use? I'm pretty sure the only way to hack your coins is to get access into your wallet by using private key.yes, you don't have give out private key or json file to everyone, but your computer already infected virus and wallet already compromised,
Very unfortunate, if you have thousands of dollars on it, its definitely something to get mad.
Virus is mostly acquired from porn sites so OP should just avoid jacking off for now so your wallet won't be compromised.
WTH is porn sites? LOL! Yes it can be also the reason because many unsecured sites are in porn sites and because you're too excited you somehow went to a click bait.
OP should move on to this even we know it's hard for us to loss our hard earned money. But mocking can't help you either way.
for sure if you don't want your wallet to be hacked, you must be careful in giving your keys for any situation, you should be able to maintain the confidentiality of personal data, because there have been many events like yours, to be able to know who and how they hacked it is very difficult thing, the important thing now is you have to be extra careful in providing personal data.

You may have a keylog which leads to the loss of the private key. Now hackers are quite sophisticated, they can steal data in so many ways. More security is needed
I don't someone was able to get a hold of your private key. Maybe someone logged into your computer without you knowing it. A phishing site can be one of the reasons. I am not sure but what you have lost will never be recovered. I suggest formatting all of your devices for safety purposes. Make sure its clean before creating any backup files of your wallet.
