First of all, try to find out how they got access to your wallet.

Check your system for any malware, trojans in specific that might have access to your clipboard or have a keylogger installed.
Also check your browser history to see if you've ever logged in through a phishing website.

What wallet are you using with Etherscan? Ethereum Wallet, Parity Wallet, MyCrypto, MyEtherWallet or Metamask?

One of my friends told me that if telegram chat is left open ; hackers can attack using telegram. Is it true?

Can you give us more information? What account was hacked? What did you do? I'm pretty sure Etherscan(if you're referring to https://etherscan.io/) was never a wallet service, only a blockchain explorer to trace wallets and transactions.

Actually I have never done trade. As usual I worked for bounties. But in the night system was not allowing me to shut down the computer; that was only the difference yesterday. In the morning when I opened my computer and then only checked coins received from several ICOs were transferred.

I am concerned and sad to read your writing, that your account was hacked. Crime is always approaching every opportunity for the perpetrator. This will be a very valuable experience for you. Be more careful later, be more careful and alert. You better keep your password in a book, then you store it in your closet.
