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
Theres no way a MEW wallet can be hacked with email address because in the beginning you haven't been asked to input or register an email address,right?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
The thing comes to my mind is that you do able to store up your Privatekeys on emails drafts or any mails which contains such keys and been find out by the hacker and logged in presuming that there would be a balance and viola he stole of your balance. Sad to hear on your loss.
That is quite painful if it is true. I woukd have asked if you usually participate in airdrop, because most times, these hackers lure airdrop participants more into clicking on phishing sites sent to them. Although, your data cannot retrieved, but finding your phone back is better.
Hackers can do in various ways it may be true that in your friends say hackers use mail to hack into your wallet because hackers can only send fake wallets in your email and accidentally open them, so we need to be more thorough in opening some sites, especially the MEW wallet is very vulnerable and if necessary start now start to secure your account starting from the device you use.
Dont give up...just try and create a new wallet and transfer all your token into the new wallet and make sure you keep it save...and mind you, dont trust anybody.
sorry for your lost but i am just wondering how your myetherwallet may be hacked. you said you got a mail through google. myetherwallet do not use email. however if you have your private key store in your mail or any of the file from the myetherwallet saved inside your mail it may be through that. I will also suggest you download and install malwarebyte antivirus because i have experience so many walmare targeted at crypto hubbyist like us. this malware can steal files from you system and can also use pc to mine crypto with your consent. coinminer virus is one of them
