best way to avoid to being hacked is just use a cold wallet: write down your private keys and forget any scam risk. most of scam come from fake login on ether app. never give your private keys to any site!

Its no funny and gappy feeling at all. Remember to be always careful and ensure you are on the official sites when transacting. Be skeptic and do not ahare your private key to anyone else you will lose all your tokens in no time.

It was a miserable day for me after someone denied me of my laughter and smiles. My first time I had a huge token worth about $1500 from participating in a bounty. I remember I had toiled enough within weeks partaking in one bounty so as to make something nice and someone from nowhere just hacked my wallet and took the tokens away. Infact, I felt like I have been robbed of my gold since that token was my 1st token which was worth $1500. Share how you felt on when your 1st valuable altcoin was hacked from your wallet.
I never tried being hacked, but I tried participating a bounty campaign that was a scam. All my post's are just a waste of time. That bounty campaign last for almost 8 weeks but then I found out that it was just a scam.

I can not imagine the disappointment of my feelings if the valuable altcoin I have was hacked by someone else. Until now I am grateful because my wallet is always safe, but I am so worried why there can be such hacking?
you have to keep the spirit and continue working to earn more coins, and hopefully be more careful.

That was a disappointing and sad occurrence. It was also my first and it is also my miserable day when my wallet has been hacked. I am feeling very sad to happen and thinking that how it happens! I never expose my private key. Right now I work hard again to recover my loss profits for my future.

It would be begtter if you guys told us about how you have been hacked, not about how you felt after it. I don't mean to sound rude, it's OK to seek for support in such situations, but if we could understand how these hackers work, we would be able to prevent these "robberies" in the future.

I have an experienced exactly what happened to you and the feelings was almost the same, at first I get mad but as time goes by I gradually accept it and try to move on I just put only in my experienced history so that everything is gonna be okay again and I pray for them not do it again.

I'm sorry for your loss my friend. I have been hacked before and I think it had to do with filling airdrops and phishing sites that took my password and email account. Luckily for me I used different password for my email. But the hacker was able to access one of my lending accounts and took my tokens; numivcoin to be precise. I wasn't hurt because the tokens had gone to shit price after that bitconnect shut down.

One of the worst feeling I guess. I haven't ben hack but I'm sure no one wanted to be in that situation. It's losing money so I think that everyone doesn't want to lose their hard earn money isn't it?

But then again, we often say that we are own bank, we needed to be always up to our feet and guarding our precious coins. We already know the drill on how to protect it. Its really depends on us, not to be trick by this hackers.

So sorry about that, it is disheartening after laboring for weeks to get those tokens.1500 $ is a lot in some climes.I hope you did not reveal your private on some phising website,if you did,it is time to reset eveything to protect yourself in the future.
one lesson that we can take is lest you get stuck on phishing sites, the way I do to avoid that is by way of bookmarking all important websites related to the ICO project you are currently following. so that this incident does not happen again

I wasn't hacked, I hope that won't happen. But my portfolio has fell by more than 40% since February, which is more than 1500$. And it was my own money.

hacking is very rampant especially when money is included. nowhere and nothing is safe from hacking. so the best thing we can do is to make sure that all of the possible security features on out accounts are enabled.

Its sad to hear that, maybe next time you should be more careful on joining any airdrop. because some airdrop need your private key which is very obvious that it is a scam. think of your private key is like a password on your account. or maybe you access a site which is a phishing site just like myetherwallet there is a site that like mew which is a phishing. you should check the URL you are accessing MEW. or to be more safe you should use metamask.

I feel sorry for your experience OP, what a tragic first time for getting your first tokens. You probably became careless and exposed your private keys somewhere or you have clicked and logged in to a phishing link.
Luckily, by following the people's good suggestion here on how to protect your token and funds I haven't hacked and I don't even want to experience it.

Well itbreally happens here in crypto, not only you it happens alot and daily. Many users have been scammed by evil person so only gotta do is protect your private key like how you protect your lives. Treat this as a lesson not to trust anybody or anything you see in crypto always have a doubt and research about something.

Your feelings after a having a wallet hack is one of the worst feelings in the your life. You feel that the world has come to an end. I think it's the worst thing that could happened to anybody. I pray that many of us should not experience this ugly feeling in our entire crypto life. I had mine when my first Ether wallet was hacked and I felt that I am finished because my wallet private key was compromised and there was nothing I could do to recover it. Too bad a feeling that I would not love to experience that anymore.

Getting. Hacked is not anything anyone looks forward. To, it's quite unfortunate that. Such. Things happen,Bounty hunters. Work tirelessly hard to make something out of the campaigns and then just like that a hacker takes away all the sweat and hard work within a minute,. Quite unfortunate, it's however our. Responsibility to keep our valuable coins safe too, with the introduction of hardware wallets, it's a bit easier to shield out tokens from the. Internet thieves

It will be the worst experience for me because the token that get from the bounty takes a bit long and not instant,and get the coins with a high rate it is very rare,from your experience and hopefully we can learn a lot and more carefully.Good luck

I feel you mate. My MEW has been compromised before too and the hacker get first my SGR tokens. And it was worth $1200 already today. Good thing that was just from airdrop but still I wasted time participating to it too just like bounty. I feel like losing hope at that time deciding to stop participating airdrops anymore after a series of tokens being taken away like B2BX, btc2x, LGR and many more that is why I transferred all the remaining tokens right away to new MEW before the hacker can steal it all.

I was fooled once by phishing because I haven't had sleep yet. It's good that it got nothing in it. So we always need to prioritize security of our accounts.
Right, security is first priority. No high security impact our account can be hacked so easily. So dont forget to set your security.
We need to do anything to protect our account. Not go to phising link or just simply click untrusted source. Its too dangerous. I know the feeling will be eventhough i never get hack so far and i will always keep my awareness.
