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

can I secure my eth address or its now in control of hacker ? Huh

you have to correct it before. Is there a mistake you made? because almost the average case of hack due to carelessness. so you have to reevaluate the chronology. or possibly other dns network you are attacked. that's mostly every case that happens

Correct mate, that is a very simple problem. If you can still access your account on Myetherwallet and if your token was there then quickly transfer into another wallet which is you fell safe to your private key. But if your token was already hacked then say bye bye, you can't be retrieved on it. Yes, carelessness makes us being a hack so we have our responsibility to keep our private key safe.
Avoid importing your main MEW account on the exchange, make it sure that the site of MEW is right.

If you keep large numbersof coins and tokens on your wallet, then I can tell you that it is much safer to buy a hardware wallet.

you posted this on June 5 so this incident happened recently is their coins left in your wallet? because if you have you can transfer it to another wallet just create another one you can save some valuable coins if the hacker did no transfer them yet, the gas price is high now tho, how much Eth did the hacker take?

This is not acceptable mate, if you have accessed your wallet with the private key on any phising site which similar to Myetherwallet you will find the hacking on those site bro, Now after it has been hacked you cannot do anything to recover your wallet mate.

Check the wallet with the JSON file alone or use explorer to check the fund you have on your wallet. Simply accessing the all time with the private key sometime you may get inside the fake websites and you may loose the fund too.

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.

Wow how did that even happen? Cannot imagine because your pvt key is as secured as it can be. It could be a virus or you must have given someone your pvt key. Someone you trust maybe?

In my opinion, if you are holding crypto assets that are worth over 1000$, you should invest 100$ in getting a hardware wallet ( i have ledger nano S). It the best investment that you can make for your crypto asset's safety.

It is best to use Etherscan. This is a simple and convenient application that allows you to check the balance of your wallet without entering the key.

Until the end of time

That's one of the downside of cryptos, you are in-charge of your private keys and once you lost it, it's a game over for you, sorry about your loss, you need to create a new wallet and be care next time, don't put your private in any website, use metamask or imotkens they are a bit secured.

Of course not,create a new wallet and use it your wallet under the full control of someone who has a private key, and you gave it yourself by typing somewhere else or you have a lot of viruses on your computer.

Sorry for such a scenario but always try as much as you can to avoid phishing sites. If the Hacker is still in possession of your private key, he can still transfer you remaining token. Open another wallet and send the rest there immediately

First of all before thinking on how to caught your theif.... Transfer all your coins and tokens to new wallets... Just check the transaction details then you can trace it a little...

This is one of those stories that no one would ever like to read, but which I see happen very often. It is essential to never send the private key of your wallet to anyone, do not click on links of strange e-mails you receive, and use latest generation antiviruses to prevent, or at least limit, these thefts

You must able to determine the sites for the safe of your key by not clicking or following others that not totally familiar with you because there are different techniques how they do hacked.Or just keep it in more secured.
