Topic: My account hacked coins stolen ; any advise - page 3. (Read 558 times)

Nope. Nothing is going to happen to you unless you do something like sending someone your private key, or download something fishy through telegram. I'm leaning more to the first possible scenario though, did you give anyone else your wallets private key? Probably through an airdrop?

I am sorry for what you experienced. I also experienced something like what you experienced right now. My lost DEB (Debitum Network) token has been stolen by others, and I can only see proof of the transaction on myetherscan, and the rest I can only surrender to the situation that I experienced

After watching the history of this thread, I've concluded a few things for you:

1. Etherscan is just an explorer, so it has nothing to do with the hack. You (and anyone) can only use it to watch your address for your complete stats as to how many ETH and other tokens are available in it (just as Read-Only mode in PC).

2. Myetherwallet is a wallet providing service, but they clearly ask you that you should bookmark https://www.myetherwallet.com/, as well, go through the slides and understand how you can stop yourself from being scammed (or your coins stolen).

3. Ask your friend why he thinks that keeping a telegram chat open may get your mobile/PC hacked? I've never encountered such a scenario. The only thing that matters is, if you've put your private key in a chat (sometimes some bots ask it for some giveaway purposes, but stay away from them as they will just swipe your money off a second later you give it to them).

4. Even if you don't have a hardware wallet (best if you could buy one) and if you can't afford to get one, here's a tip for you:

- Save your private key at a safe place and never, ever share it with anybody. Your private key is the only thing that you need to keep safe from anyone in this space, and if you can't do this, I guess you may never be able to safeguard your coins.

- If you're worried about your private key, I'd suggest you go for a Keystore file. You can find more info below:

I'm very sorry for you. This is a very difficult situation. I hope there is a solution but unfortunately it is very difficult to follow it and get it back.

I can't give you any advice, if your assets in your wallet have been moved by someone who hacked your wallet. because all that is in vain, because your coins and tokens will not be able to come back again, all I can suggest to you now is, you have to be more careful in maintaining your wallet, keep the private key in a safe place, not to people others know.

No support can help you now. Your coins are gone, its bad and I feel sorry for you. You can take a lesson from this. Never ever install any malicious software, never login in any unknown website with your credentials. Bookmark your wallet addresses and try not to login directly with private key so that it doesn't happen in future.

Thanks; cold store hardware wallet will be really helpful.

Of course I will use hardware wallet now as suggested.

etherscan is just an explorer..

I feel sorry for you because there are no ways to recover your coins and it's possible you have filled up your private key on the fake website of myetherwallet then The hackers stole your coins through the private key.

did you already email support team about this?

Deal with your loss and find out how your account got compromised, most likely you have visited a phishing site.

You may report it in this forum.This is a learning lesson for everyone.You have to be careful in investing your bitcoin.You need to have a secured private key.Do not clink any suspicious link.

Sorry for your loss. I advise you to investigate what went wrong with your wallet and how the hackers access your private key. In this way, someone from here may help you not to repeat the hacking incident. Don't give up , learn the lesson and next time make it sure that you will do the right way.

Are you clicking on a link to another page, or is your account being hacked by someone who knows your private keys? don't be sad you must rise again

Advice: go on with Your life, sorry about Your loss.

Try to calm down first, Because you can not get any help you can get if that is what happens all we can do is to comfort you with your lost and learn from this mistake, You should learn to put some necessary security measures and don't be satisfy in the given security of an online wallet, Well if you had resources and money for a cold storage wallet better get one if you don't want this things to happen again, Or if not Try to get further information in the forum to further protection for your wallet, And as well sorry for the lost.

I very much sympathize with you. It is very difficult, when you invest so much or earn money and then lose everything one day. It is already impossible to do anything. Do not worry, and continue to do crypto, maybe you'll get rich someday).

Difenitely you are no way out. This is why its so important to secure your account before doing something you didnt know. I think you got hacked by participating in Airdrop and you logged in on a fake MeW site and your PK got leaked.

No, that doesn't seem like something that would be possible.
Really most hacking is due to user error, logging in through a fake website or downloading software that contains malware.

Another scenario could be installing a malicious browser plugin.
