I was planning to buy a hardware wallet. I Always suggested everyone secure their wallet. Because I never thought my wallet can be the hack too. Now I am regretting if I bought a hardware wallet before. And that was my big mistake to keep everything in one wallet. How can I recover my funds? Oh, I can't think anything.

Please, do not blame yourself. You're not the only one getting into this kind of trouble. People really lose a lot of crypto now, they get hacked, phished, scammed, forget their keys, etc... Don't give up, you can't make really big money without losing money as well, so consider it as just a step forward to more secure and profitable future.

This is truly a sad story. If the hackers have got access of your gmail, did you store any password inside your email box, perhaps in a message to yourself? Just trying to figure out what could have happened...

Oh, I was so shocked and disheartened in reading this post, just take heart and bounce back from the loss, I was also hacked around January but not with huge amount like yours. Please learn to keep your private key so important, it's very Germaine and tantamount to our security for us not to get hacked.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't even tell you how much it hurts. The only step I took to secure my funds was to buy a hardware wallet and use several wallets, as it is very dangerous to keep everything on one. And still there is a wallet on which I have most of my money and I am very afraid. MEW needs to make more safe wallet!!!

It feels so bad. But can you tell us in detail what you think you did. I mean in detail so that the rest of the community can learn and i really hope that you get some good rewards. I got scammed around 2 years back and lost around 25k USD . but i am hopeful that i'll recover in the crypto world.

Actually, I really can't imagine why my wallet got hacked. Because As I Remembered, I did not click any suspicious link, haven't clicked any fake Airdrop link. My Private key was safe enough. Then how can hackers hacked my wallet! I Really don't know how is it possible. Before hacked, I did an Airdrop but that was very good Airdrop, which name is NOBS Crypto. My friends and Brothers are telling that Hacker used my email to hack my wallet but how can they hack by an email. I really helpless about it.

I think you got phished by someone. To be safe Do not trust messages or addresses or URLs sent via private message. Use a hardware wallet to secure your Eth and tokens.

I'm really sorry to hear about that, mate.
But let's get into the details - where did you store your private key? Maybe it was in your Google Docs, so if a hacker hacked your email, he would also receive an access to your documents. Could it happen? I think it is important...

Very sad bro, you use hola VPN ? Or you login to phising site ? I always use metamask for my wallet. I suggest buy one hardware wallet for protect your money. Use antivirus to scan keylogger and virus, trojans. Goodluck !

That is really sad to hear, i can feel your pain, i think we should be more careful online and atleast we can set 2FA or sms authentication methods on all our important accounts like email, exchanges and wallets atleast.

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

Oh, that is so bad my friend, I am sorry, this doesnt help to trust cryptocurrencies. But cryptocurrencies are very interesting for hackers because they are "anonymous".

I had a similar situation for a long time, but then I gave my private key to the attackers. After that, I am very closely watching their actions, and recently bought a Ledger and quickly convinced of its reliability. Until you confirm the operation on the Ledger your funds will not go anywhere. A few days ago, MyEtherWallet was again attacked by intruders, perhaps you were one of the victims of this attack.

do you have been checking the SSL is safe? I think you are exposed to phishing victims. next time be careful of the link you click. my advice if you just want to check the balance check through etherscan

It's really hard to directly hack your MEW wallet if the criminal doesn't know your password/private key. Usually, when this does happen, a user who got hacked has without knowing it inserted his/her classified info into a phishing site or he/she is a victim of keylogger.

I believe in security of MyEtherWallet, so probably bro it is initially your fault, more than a MEW company. Maybe hackers has hacked your PC or the store of your passwords.

Do you only have a Private key and you're not using any other extension like Metamask or something else of a third party program? The problem users of myetherwallet is that they are accessing their account only by logging in their private key, having a third party or extension would've prevented what happened to you.

the probability of having a malware, spyware or other virus with your browser might have been the cause of them having an access to your account. If you like clicking ads or searching for free coins or accessing sites that is not fully secured makes the risk higher.

I am very sorry to hear that, because it is very painful if exposed to such hacked like that and I am very curious how could it happen, can you explain? have you ever entered a private key on any website? because most likely due to phishing site

Sorry I can not do anything, so do not ever stop to rebuild your portfolio right now, hopefully this is a lesson to be careful and get good advice once this thread is created, and I think you're right in phishing the site accidentally or without you knowing it, there may be someone who knows your private key and secretly to take it, it could be.

No one is immune from scams. Unfortunately, when you enter the cryptocurrency and bounty market you do not think about security. Such stories make you think. Who has the materials with the safety recommendations?

I understand perfectly well that I myself became a victim of the same situation last year. Only at me then stole only 1800 US dollars. When I saw an empty wallet, I was just dumbfounded and did not understand until the end of what happened. And then after a while broke a purse at my friend, he suffered much more seriously at it stole the whole 8000 us dollars. And that was all his money, too. In such situations, you feel broken and hands really down. The main thing here is to find the strength and start to act on a new. Only with greater responsibility and care, to all security systems of their wallets and electronic devices. I will recommend you to buy a cold wallet in the future, and if you plan to hold the coins for a long time, it will help you one hundred percent.
