last night some hacked my pvt key and steal all my eth and major eth tokens

Damn. Why can hacker steal your assets? Are you surfing on an unsafe website? Or your mistake that you input private key in the form airdrop/bounty?

Yes, you can always secure your wallet and your assets. But there is something you need to pay attention:
- If indeed you have been surfing on an unsafe website, you need to re-install your device, upgrade your antivirus, I advise you to upgrade to Antivirus Pro. Maybe your device has infected some viruses and possibility the hacker steal all of your data.
- After the first task done, you just install MetaMask at https://metamask.io , and save the mnemonic phrase from MetaMask to the safest place!
- Or You can to buy a Ledger Wallet or Trezor, it's more secure to safe your assets.

blockchain is decentralized and under control of no regulations or individuals. if a transaction is completed it is not possible to do anything. whatever gone is gone. if you are hacked and your funds sent to somewhere else there is nothing that you can do.

It is better to create new wallet. If you lost all ETH from your wallet then no reason to keep this wallet. Once again hackers will steal your money. It is better to use wallet on computer specally designated for it.

There's no computer that specially designed to be a cryptocurrency but instead there's a computer that's secured to its core to save privket or to install wallet so that it will have a really tight security that hacker could barely have an access to.
I'd say if you want a simple way to secure your crypto just buy hardware wallet and you will all be fine.

Be careful with your private key. You might have done a mistake in copying and pasting it into a google form while filling up. Others also experienced that thing, that instead of pasting their eth address, they pasted their private keys.

I think hardware wallet is the best wallet for security. These wallets are cheap and very easy to use. You can use Trezor or BWALLET Trezor. But it’s also true no wallet can provide you 100%security.

you're victim of phishing dude, you need to creat new wallet and be careful next time that you fill up your info, you should observe first the site. i have a friend that also hacked and all of his tokens are gone.

I am sorry for what you experienced, but it is certainly not one of the people who have stolen from you, this is what happened between the bounty bunter, there are some dianta those who just want to profit in the wrong way, but this is a great lesson for you will later when you fill a bounty form to be careful when filling the data, keep your swallow key in another place, so when you copy wallpaper amlamat you are not wrong to enter, hopefully this could be your suggestion.

If your private key is compromised there is nothing you can do, if you still have any tokens or ETH left there, better create a new wallet and move it there.
Always keep your private keys safe, keep them on a piece of paper or use MEW as offline wallet.
If you have a big amount, its always better to move to a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger.

The reports of theft of crypto currencies has increased day by day. Coin holders must be extra careful in the security of their coins. this meaning keeping their computer safe from malware, staying away from phishing sites and not giving away their passkey to any site. Choosing a stronger wallet will also increase the security.

That is really sad. Think of it as a life lesson and be more careful next time. Make sure you have secured your wallet and your computer is completely clean and free from all kind of nasty stuffs. Also be careful about those phishing sites. Always do a double check when you are about to use your sensitive information.
The best thing is to create a whole new wallet and forget about your last wallet. You don't want to risk anything.

maybe you make a mistake or let someone else steal your private key. immediately create a new wallet and never again open the wallet through your smartphone because the security is easy to hack. my advice is to use a computer or laptop for more security.

It good future saving wallet. No one can hack the wallet. Wallet key is your end. So you are the responsible for the your wallet. Don't share the wallet private key. If share any one easy to hack your wallet. If want to check the balance use the wallet address. Don't use the private key. This not safe. So safely use and follow the wallet rules and regulation. This information help to safely use wallet.

it is now in the control of the hacker, you must change your wallet, try to create a new one, and secure it, dont ever expose it on public.

You probably entered the private key into phising site so the hacker got your private key, right now the best decision is to abandon the wallet and make a new eth wallet, don't forget to bookmark the real site and use the bookmark link whenever you access mew. Also please make sure you are in the right site before opening your wallet, if you care more about your security then that kind of thing won't happen again.

Too bad! I am very sorry about it, there's nothing you can do now especially when the hacker is in possession of your private key. The only thing you can do now is change your ETH wallet by creating a new one, however try as much as you can to protect your new private key.

Did you store your private key on cloud storage ?
You should write down your private key on a piece of paper and never store it on your computer.
If the ETH still there you can transfer your ETH to new address, but if it's gone.. it's gone.

Google drive is not secure ? google docs view able right maybe thats the reason I got hacked

Let's see....
Have you heard of anybody getting his e-mail account "hacked"?
Have you heard of the celebrity photos "leaked" from Apple's cloud?

If you think that Google drive is safe enough to keep money on it.. well, I don't.

Better choice is trezor i think hardware wallet for coins and tokens I will manage to buy it soon. Lips sealed

A hardware wallet is the safest option. The main thing is not to save 24 words for recovery in Google drive. Better write them on a separate sheet and hide. If someone can get your words out, your money will not be safe.

The best option to safe your any password or private keys don't keep it in mails or mobile notes or internet connected devices. don't write in paper becasue even that also erase after few months so better option is take print outs and keep it in safe place this is also not 100% safe but compare to other safe methods this is best.

It is true. I would also suggest that you separate the 24 words for recovery the hardware purse and hide them in different places just in case. and it's better not to tell anyone, about the fact that you have a hardware purse and a crypto currency on it.
