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

This probably happened because you registered an account at a unsecure website with the same password as your email account. What these scammers do is test the password you register on their website against the email account you registered.
This happened to me before and this is why i always have different passwords for secure-looking and unsecure-looking websites. Also 2FA is always a good idea.
What I know to prevent getting hack is to make our passwords secured. The first thing a hacker would do is to find our personal details which includes our email address. Then the hackers would find a way to unlock our passwords.

If it was secured the way you told it was, then why is it still hacked? I have been in MEW for so many years now. But I haven't been hacked once. Maybe there's a problem where you secure it. Don't worry. Just don't give up. If you lost that much then you will be gaining more in the future.
thank you for the sad story you have posted on this forum. because with this incident we token holders will be more cautious again in securing our tokens. if necessary create a new wallet specifically to store all tokens to minimize hacking ..
Yeah be careful mate, security is something I neglected too back then and I paid the price. Better be safe w/ a hardware wallet.
I feel sad for you but please dont give up, there are a lot of user here have experience worst than what you have now. I also a victim of hacker when i just new and earn 100$ worth of eth and about 200$ worth of token. Im shocked when i see a lot of notification transferring my coins
Hacking with myetherwallet is quite a common thing in large scale. When it comes to the individual use of myetherwallet, the hacking possibilities and the hacks taken place till date is low. Better is to have good learning how to use it,that'll help stay away from hackers.
How do you log in to MEW? I suspect that this step caused your private key to leak. The safest way is to log in with the browser plugin.
Sorry to hear about the theft you incurred. Make sure you stay in the crypto game and make it back x 10. Your luck will swing. Maybe you should consider a hardware wallet for this go round. I do not use one myself but stories like yours are pushing me in that direction.
Do you ever use decentralized exchange site? or putting your private key on some phising site, submit in some bounty campaign or do you log in when mew are in hacking mode? This is the possible reason why the hacker hacked your mew, sorry for your loss and now your hardwork to earn & hold money turn into nothing because of that hacker.
There is a tweet from Myetherwallet that chrome has been attacked and those who are using Myetherwallet from that period of time need to transfer their funds to a brand new wallet. I think that is the reason for this hacked.

Sorry about that and hope you take a break ( relax ) leave market and come back again, never give up. Learn from your mistake, if someone send you link into your email, social media, telegram channel, please check again if you don't know the person just ignore it or delete ( unfriend ) for safety. One advice, never put your asset into your wallet/ exchange, better you replace your money into currency and use it only when needed.
Its really bad news to the community that some people hacked. I think you enter some phishing website then you put your private key or you save it to your email and when they hacked your email they see your private key. In the world of crypto always be careful and keep your private key better not to save you key on social media account or even on your emails.

Sad to know that but still hold on,hopefully in time you could get more than that.Crypto really offers great opportunity for common people like us.Hope this kind of incident will not happen or can be prevented in the near future.
I'm sorry that now there are so many scammers who want to get rich at someone else's expense. Now I'm also scared for my money and I want to transfer them to a hardware purse. I think that it will be more reliable.
If it was just e-mail which had been hacked then it is impossible. You didnt save your private key anywhere your email right? Or try to send it to yourself so that you can open it anywhere?
If that is not the case then the possible hack may came from a rental shop. Have you tried to open your etherwallet account in other computer?
If it is still not the case then there is no way the hacker have gotten into you. You may have synced something with your gmail account. Once that is done anywhere you open google chrome with your gmail logged in will see all the browsed pages and the cache.
That is the only culprit that I know.

What happens on MyEtherWallet? It seems like there is no more security in this wallet. Because of what you told to us, I am scaring also with my coins that I stored in MEW. I do not use any cold storage wallet and I think it is hackable whatever we will do. I guess we should seek for other wallet that applies ERC-20 token. I am also looking for that.
So sad for you, everything now is danger because we are in online world who are a lot of hacker and scammer. And anytime possible other people hack by the hacker we need to be careful and keep strong or privacy and security.
tHE CRYPTO WORLD IS a strange one, just as it is interesting, Hackers keep coming up with ne ways to get hold of your tokens all the times nd each time they o, the come up with a better way, thats why caution is advised all the time anytime, its quite unfortunate what happened, but you should learn from it, Invest in hardware wallets, they are safer
With so much hacking on MyEtherWallet that has hurt many traders, I think MEW needs to improve their system in the future. Because some of my trading friends also become victims of the hacking.
