Sorry to hear about your loss. Did you save your private key in your email? You mentioned that someone change your google password and the hack happened. Would like to know more about your case to learn.
You title sound like you are happy lol.
But actually, yeah, that is terrible what happened to you.
$5000 is a lot of money, and it seems like it proportionately very huge for you.
What it comes down to is this: anything on your computer is not safe.
Your digital footprint is long and permanent.
Any hacker can access your info and computer in a whole variety of ways and then, from there, dig through things you though long gone.
sound like it's form a movie?
No, it's very real.
The only way to really keep your crypto safe is to physically keep it safe.
That means hardware wallets or paper wallets.
Throw in a safe in your home, and no one will still your money.

I am so sorry to hear that. I myself want to buy a crypt coin for a long time, and I do not know how to protect it. Now it has become a big problem
That is awful to be in, in the event that you could enable us to out and give more fine grained detail on what happened. Is it accurate to say that it was a phishing email you tapped on to change your secret key and they accessed your record that way? were your keys put away in your google account.
Its unfortunate that you are a victim of hacks and have lots such a huge amount of money, the crypto arena is however not dead and there will be more chances for you to make more, next time however, You could use metamask, or invest in hardware wallets to secure your money more
I don't know how I Explain my feelings. I Just lost all of my savings money. I was holding since January, I have been Holding to make again a good amount of Money. But at the end, my holding's output is, I lost everything because of my ETH wallet got hack! Almost 5K USD Stolen. All of my hard working money. I Don't know how can hacker hacked my wallet. Because I Kept very secure my private key, My friends are telling that hacker hacked my wallet by my email address. But how can someone hack only by an email address?
I Got a security alert from Google that someone has your password after then I changed my password immediately. Then after some time, I was checking my wallet to check new Coin. And then I Shocked! I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do

I am puzzled with the statements above. You were saying that your MEW was hacked. And then you were talking about hacking using email. MEW and email has no connection at all. MEW does not need your email so how? It is confusing.
Another thing, a Google alert? Then you changed your password? I believe you are not using MEW at all. I am using MEW and I haven't used my email in making a wallet.
This should be a lesson for you. Quit whining and stand up. There's nothing you can do now. Learn how to fully secure your assets. You cannot be too sure with regards to cryptocurrency.
I am sorry for what you feel right now, it is very much a hacker who wanders us also must be more vigilant. I also experienced the same thing, initially, I participated in airdrop, and they sent me an email to login in MEW and it is a phishing web, all looks exactly the same, even the domain is the same, only the web certificate is different. I think this is a professional hacker, they do it neatly .. if we are not more alert, surely we continue to be targeted by hackers
Am really for your loss mate, but i can't believe you used email to log into your MEW. It's a new way they are using now to scam people.
i feel bad on you my friend. the hacker today is so incredible they cant stop. thats why i suggest to you next time dont put your all money in one wallet. it more safe to make a multiple wallet. so if one of those are hack they didnt get all
im sorry about what happened to you mate. i think you are an victim of phishing sites, maybe you join an airdropped that you also dont know its just a big scam. lots of airdrop right now for me is just an scam or phishing. also always be careful installing new application for your pc's especially with those application comes with an crack software's, we dont know if they put some codes that they can stole our identity. better if you are using your PC, LAPTOP, PHONE or any gadgets in crypto use it safe from hacker's to avoid this issue.
stay safe always mate, make this as an lesson for you and for all of us reading this thread that for just one mistake click we made all of our hardwork will just be stolen. best part of this mate is stand up again, make an new wallet and dont use your old wallet anymore, change all your password. goodluck for your comeback mate, you can do it.

Sometimes whatever we imply for the security of wallet, hackers always find a way if there is a chance, we must think that storing in an online wallet with a respective key is not totally secured, rather than acquiring a hardware wallet, thus amount that had been hacked is too much to buy a hardware wallet but its too late, anyway the damage had been done, it is a sort of awareness that if we will not vigilant then it will happen also to us.

I am really sorry to hear about that.
I suggest you use only clean computer (should have 1 antivirus program), clean browsers (install as less extensions/plugins as possible)
- Don't install unusable or unknown extensions/plugins
- Don't visit unknown or untrusted websites/URL
so thats a lesson learn for you u must monitor your Wallet if u get your bounty go exchange it before the hacker access your wallet
I think everyone will be very grateful if you give us more information. You can help other people avoid this situation.
I share in your plight. But for me, I avoid MEW. I use Imtoken and Metamask. I use Imtoken for private storage and Metamask for trading. Maybe you should never store your private keys and recovering phrase online, it is dangerous.
as usual the risk from having crypto asset is got hacked and very unfortunately for those who got hacked i think they will never get their funds back because hackers almost be untraceable and many factors why people got hacked but most of them is their password or their private keys were stolen by phising attempts
I can feel you pain, it is the worst feeling feeling to see your hard earned money going this way. It was a group attack as many people were affected.
It is heartbreaking to loss such a huge amount from myetherwallet hack, as a crypto investor what i use to keep my fund save is using hardware wallet, haredware wallets are secure and safe it is not a wallet that private key can be exposed.
The hardware wallets are the best. A major problem with myetherwallet most times is with the use of private keys to sign transactions, one may end up on a phishing site and give it away to hackers. That's one of the reasons I prefer Metamask I don't know how I Explain my feelings. I Just lost all of my savings money.

I think there are two options if you are not negligent with your private key.
the first option of peretar access network network with dns google.
and the second option, phishing. you have been trapped in phishing mode until the hacker can access your wallet.
No one can hack your Ethereum wallet unless your private key was compromised. I am sure you stored them in your email. You should have kept it offline .sorry for your loss
