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 Cry

It will never related to your email bacause it's never asking your to give your email. There are some possibilities
1 through use the phishing link
2 you are clicking any suspicious link and get malware that stole your privatekey

it looks like someone has being infiltrate in your pc and i guess it looks like through a phishing site.

I think MEW is a fairly reliable wallet, but seeing as the number of people who have stolen money every day growing I have a question, why do not the developers to provide better protection for their users?

What does your email have anything to do with your myetherwallet? Unless, you kept a backup of your MEW in your email, there is no way that hacking your email would compromise your MEW. Another thing is you could of tried to access your wallet on a fake MEW website. Always bookmark it.

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.

Just the same as what has happened to me at myetherwallet. My assets were just around $1000 lower, is stolen by someone. I checked this wallet and got surprised. It was really a hacker not just an ordinary person. His/her wallet was full of receiving erc20 based tokens and ethereum. That wallet was a nightmare not just for me but for everyone that were also hacked.

Have you used free VPN or forkdelta or idex web site? I've lost like 500$ last month and it seems to me that I entered private key on fake decentralised exchange like forkdelta. Web address was quite similar and that's it. Explore your computer and tell us what was the way to hack you

I can relate to your feelings now bro. I also have the same experience with and there is nothing that we can do for now with your lost money. Next time be sure to provide security to your wallet.

The is one of the story I hate hearing from people. I feel so sorry for your loss. Sometimes this happen and there is nothing that can be done about it. However, if you try to put in check your wallet security measure, you may be able to prevent a recurrence in the future.

I understand you. And I feel very sorry for you. Since I gave a hacker and also lost my money. You need to be more careful in those places where you enter your secret wallet key. Since this can be a phishing link.

Sorry to hear this sad development,take heart,most surely you will make it back.This is is a lesson to get yourself a hardware wallet which is by far the most secure wallet to hold your tokens and funds.

It's the reason why number of person whom buy hardware wallet like Trezor or ledger nano is increasing really quickly

. You should buy it to keep your crypto safe

. Beside don't use VPN cause it's the most popular way for hacker to hack your wallet

. You also should avoid using decentralized exchange which require you to enter your wallet Private key like ETD, Forkdelta or IDEX, if you wanna use, you should create a new wallet and send token to.

Thanks a lot for the advice Cool

. I was wondering what was the safer way to use these exchanges and you just gave the solution. So I'll create a "transition wallet" and I'll use it between my wallet and the exchange.

Akashark, I feel very sorry for you and hope you'll be lucky in your next trades/investments to recover your stole funds.

If you can tell in more detail what exactly happened, whether you follow any links or how an attacker could get your key. We all together try to understand what happened.

Hm, there are not that many ways of getting your wallet hacked:

- Private-Key/Recovery-Phrase are stored on a PC which got infected by malware and is connected to the internet [Keystore-File would also be possible but in this case the attacker needs to get the password in addition to the keystore-file to get access...]
- Phishing-'Attack'
- Sharing of Private-key, recovery-phrase or keystore-file+password with a someone else

I'd really urge everyone to get a hardware-wallet like the Ledger Nano S or signing transactions offline using MyEtherWallet.

[Guide] MyEtherWallet Offline Transactions [click me!]

can I ask what do you mean by phishing attack? I hear that term everywhere, but am not really sure what to look out for... because from the above 3 possibilities only this one might apply to me. I dont store my private key in computer and dont share it with anyone too. also by signing transaction online you mean disconnet computer from internet, type in private key and then connect to internet and hit enter kind of thing? thanks

so soryy, akashark to hear this horrible news. really hope you can get passed this

Sadly, hackers can still attack people on their MEW wallets. I also think the wallet MEW is completely secure and just do not disclose information about Private Key or Keystore file. But maybe I was wrong

Did hear about some DNS hijacking taking place few months back then. But they fixed it so it is actually something else let lead hackers to steal your money. Are you sure your computer is free from any kind of viruses or malwares? You sure you were never phished? I would recommend you to do a full computer scan and make sure you are free from all kind of viruses.

Honestly, I still do not understand how the message is related to the MEW wallet. Please explain this to me. it's unfortunate that you lost money, but most likely you are to blame for this, or rather, you were inattentive somewhere.

That is a horrible situation to be in, if you could help us out and give a bit more detail on what happened. Was it a phishing email you clicked on to change your password and they gained access to your account that way? were your keys stored in your google account.

I really can't think how can they access my wallet. I did not click any suspicious email. I was very aware of it. Maybe they hacked my Gmail. But even I don't know how can they hacked my email where I have added my phone number there. I stored little wallet keys in my drive but the store MEW Address where I saved my most of the coin, that private key was very safe. But hacker hacked my all accounts. I really can't think what happened with me.
