there is currently no way to deal with hacking altcoin, and many cases that have happened before including myself have been hacked, one way to prevent it you have to make a new wallet, make this as a future lesson should be more careful

That's the way you have to take to make a new wallet and make security quite difficult to break. But there is no way in my opinion to re-take what you have from the hacker. you just have to let it go what has gone from you.

yup! you are right. there is no way to take back what has been stolen from us.
indeed we have to give up and good advice for us to make a new wallet.

but even though we have made a new wallet, i think we still need to be vigilant and be careful when using it so that the same thing does not happen again.

There are some hacking incidents that i read before that they have recovered the funds that been stole by the hackers, those victims did seek some profesional help because the founds is large enough .

smaller funds can be easily forgetable because they can be easily collected . but you shoudlnt give up easily , you must still do something tho .

Too bad. You fell victim to one of the most common scams around here. Before installing any altcoin wallet, you need to scan the exe file with a reputed anti-virus software such as Kaspersky. If that is not possible, then you should at least read the reviews about the wallet. There are chances that users might have flagged it already for suspicious activity. Anyway, please be careful from now on.

yes, some people use everything to get money. they even use their skills to take profits from other people.

honestly, before looking for the coins we want, we need to know everything about the coins, such as the concept, the team involved, and find out the truth. if it's real, you won't find any strangeness in it. other than that, I agree not to install anything on your PC that you have, and prioritize always scans it with updated antivirus.

however, you need to do a check for your pc hard drive. always careful is the best way to avoid this risk.

Some scammers use social engineering tricks for fooling the average people and take their earned altcoins. Before installing the third-party software to the pc checking the file with various antivirus scanning services will be a good step for protecting the crypto holdings. These type of malware software is used for the running electrum or other crypto wallets with an automated script bot that can transfer the BTC to the address of the attacker.
Before joining the airdrop, the requirements should be carefully analyzed and the bounty hunter should avoid the airdrops-bounty campaigns that have the pre-instalment software requirement for receiving the reward.

simply getting the job done

You can only transfer all coins and tokens from this wallet to another one to protect you against the hacker, that is all. If your wallet is already clear, then you can only go to police and report the ETH address of the hacker, thats all, maybe in the future we will be able to recognize the hacker identity.

Sad news. And we are very sad for it. But the fact is that there is rampant incidents of hacking and scamming. But it seems no authorities are concerned about it. I have heard BiteBTC exchange is openly scamming traders out of thousands of dollars. But no action is taken against it so far. As for you, I think there is no way out unless authorities take some steps.

That is the reason why, we need to have a hardware wallet compared to storing in online wallets and or storing in exchanges which is not recommended, hacking is everywhere all over the web, and with that, we must be aware of it, that scammers, hackers and all others are working 24/7 to steal money from us, and we must keep it in our mind, we mindful of everything we download online.

Antivirus are so easy to bypass, i could hack someone here very easily by uploading an infected wallet fully undetected (no matter if you use VirusTotal)
People should use a HIPS (host-based intrusion prevention system) such as Comodo Internet Security. If you find it hard to use in Paranoia Mode, then just turn the Comodo HIPS on "Paranoia Mode" when you run a wallet and it will ask you to confirm every actions that the wallet is doing (extraction / running a file, read in memory/write in memory, access to the keyboard, screen, disk, and a lot more) it also includes a firewall, people who run a wallet for personal use should block any incoming port from any file that come from the wallet or the wallet itself. You can use the free version it's enough to secure you computer if you deal with the HIPS+Firewall.

By the way dude, you never mentioned on which wallet did you use anyway? does is MEW, Trustwallet, Mist or Imtoken?
Also, I guess you might downloaded a site or clicked some phishing site where the hacker can have an open gate to steal something
important to you and sadly you stored your private key on your desktop.

Sorry about that, I don't think there's anything you can do stop them from accessing that particular wallet, you must have revealed ur private keys unknowingly, just create a new wallet and move all funds into the new account.

I think there is nothing you can do about that, that's unfortunate. Private key is risk to use, that's why it's not recommended, It's better to use Keystore because even tho they steal the Keystore file they have to know the password to open it. And if you want to be really safe you can use a hardware wallet. At the first place, you should be careful with what you installed on your device.

Worlds Simplest Cryptocurrency Wallet

I don't think you were hacked. The ethereum network is secure. You may have a virus or use a wallet controlled by a third party.
Or maybe someone saw your keys when they used your computer. Check it out, and if your wallet is the reason you're losing money, send a warning to everyone. Sorry!

You should use only trusted app's for holding crypto. It's like Trust wallet. And never upload your private key in any wallet or website. If you need enter your wallet - use Metamask - it's only trusted extenshion.

Sad, I think it's because sometimes we store private keys on a laptop. And people are ready to take your money away with different tricks. Name that Virus wallet that you download. So, others will not get into this trap.

Well there really is nothing you can do to protect that wallet since your private key has been compromised. You could report the address to etherscan though so it csn be flagged. Any tokens sent to the wallet can be taken without your consent, I suggest you get a new wallet and avoid taking screenshots of your pk or storing your pk as an unencrypted document.

yes, it's better to send all assets in the wallet to the new wallet. wallet hacking is very possible and many cases that we have seen have occurred with investors and exchanges.

I sympathize with you, but nothing can be done in this situation. Nobody is safe from hacking, even well-known exchanges suffer from hackers. Be careful and use Metamask . I haven't meet information that it's wallet was hacked.

Final destination of those ETH: https://ethplorer.io/address/0xe73f013d204fafde6712fd2c040b9b8f9559a4af

Then after that i think it was sent to an exchange wallet : https://ethplorer.io/address/0x3b921f0f543cfdb3fe9797911267e14382d8db7b

BTW...
0.7 ETH is not too expensive for this lesson that you learned. Take care of your wallet as always, everything you did wrong before! NEVER do it again!

That is a cheap lesson in cryptocurrency security. Personally, I have been robbed of substantial number of altcoins when I used its wallet for staking. Up to this day, I still don't know how. I suspected it was a bug in the wallet. Your PC is the most vulnerable hardware (due to keylogging) to store your private keys and always keep them encrypted.

So sorry for your loss, but there's virtually nothing one can do when the private keys gets to the wrong hands. The only thing is that you should be more careful with your wallet subsequently and don't download any wallet without making research on its authenticity.

You can’t do anything now. It was a valuable lesson for you that you paid for. The main thing is that now you need to make the right conclusions.
Never use this wallet. You need to remove this application from your laptop, clean it and check it well for viruses and malware. Use the metamask to create a wallet and use it.
