Topic: How is it possible to hack someone's account? - page 2. (Read 222 times)
I heard about the situation when, when entering the site, the user is unnoticeably redirected to a resource similar in design, but created by scammers. When entering a login and password, the site steals funds from user accounts.
As others people said, I follow the possibiliy of a web browser failure.
Do you know that is possible to create offline transactions with MEW ?

This could help you in the future to be protected against web browser attacks.
In my situation, I have an offline computer (this computer is NEVER connected to the network), I have the website in local storage and I follow the steps as described on the link.
This is quite impossible to hack you, as your private key is used on the offline computer, and if you use a dedicaced usd key for transfering the transaction information, and if you format it every times you use it, I think it becomes really hard to hack you
I take care to delete the partition on the USB drive before every time I plug it again on the offline computer, to avoid possible viruses transferts.
Anyway, you could use an hardware wallet, but you still have this possibility if you don't want to

I have been hearing people saying their account got hacked by hackers and each time I hear this I ask myself how is this possible, not until 2day ago I was hit by an hacker! I don't know how he got access to my private key, even if I give you the private key, is as unless as nothing, this is because the private key digits are not complete, to get the complete key you will also have to hack my brain.
In all the various places I stored my private key I always make sure the digits are not complete, in case someone mistakenly get access to it.
But how this guy manage to get access to my key still remains a mystery to me.
The question is, if you have been hacked before what mistakes do you think you did that result to you been hacked. Maybe this will help me find my fault.

Phishing is the most common to hack the account
I have lost my myetherwallet recently. I have never used any wifi connection or give my private key to another. I just used the Imtoken application and boom, got hacked. I think everybody should use a virgin computer and cellphone and just for this job only.

I'm not sure if MyEtherWallet is a solely online account or also available to store in some type of hardware wallet, but if you had all the information on your computer, it's possible that you had a Remote Administrator Tool installed somehow. That allows the hacker to access everything on your computer. You should probably run a couple of malware tests.
If you keep any private keys in a digital setting, that should be changed asap. I keep my private keys on paper only. They're inaccessible by most people as well. Always be cautious with storing things online /on your computer.
Since you say you don't save the complete private key , it must have happened while using the private key to log in to your wallet .
Maybe you used a fake website to log in , do you use bookmarks for Myetherwallet or do you use google to find the site.
At least reinstall your OS and try to find out what exactly went wrong.

You don't have to change your password as long as you don't use the same password on multiple websites and have a very strong one. Also don't use existing words in your password, these can easily be cracked using dictionary attacks.
[/quote]wow!!! Just hearing this for the first, which one is dictionary attack!
Most often I heard about hacking Myetherwallet. I personally was stolen from this purse 4000 dollars. But as a rule, we ourselves are to blame for theft. do not install security on our computers and inadvertently go to phishing sites.
i have lost over $4000 already and it's still counting! We store most of our data in our phones or online in some cloud based storage. And there are numerous ads while we are surfing on the internet. And if by any chance the ad has some virus or is put up by an hacker. He can easily ge our IP address by which he can get into our phones and collect all th stored information in it. Everything! And that is how most of our wallets or accounts get hacked!
Hacking someone's account can be done by the professional hackers. They have the knowledge, skills, gadgets and GUTS. That's why you should change your passwords very often.We store most of our data in our phones or online in some cloud based storage. And there are numerous ads while we are surfing on the internet.

Your funds have probably been stolen by vulnerabilities of the web, this includes phishing, man-in-the-middle attack, JavaScript or a compromised browser. That's why it's recommend to use paper-wallets, air-gapped desktop wallets or hardware wallets, as the attack surface is much smaller than that of web-wallets.
