in my opinion, use 2 different files to save your address and key
1 file for address
1 file for key
and don't save both files at same folder in computer or laptop
now u
make a new wallet the previous loss is not recoverable

To Pity this is simply impossible. You definitely need to change the wallet and check the laptop for viruses and many antivirus programs ...

It happen to me as well. I dont really know exactly how it happen. Maybe you accidentally give your private key or whatever access you use on MEW. If this only happen on your 1 MEW account then that might be the also reason I can thinkn of. No one is safe to be honest.

No,you wont get hacked if you have good security with your computer install metamask extension which blocks phishing sites in your browser,install antivirus and anti malware softwares,use hardwallets like trezor or ledger so that you wont have any issues,because these are the things wou will need if you have big amounts of assets in your wallet.

I am surprised at this. How could that be possible. I feel if someone had hacked your account, the person would not have transfered just the CS, he would have also transfered other tokens along. I feel something else that is not yet clear happened.
Peradventure it was actually the work of an hacker, then i would advise you transfer all that you have bout of that wallet, to another safe wallet and do not use that wallet again.

Didnt use metamask and hardwallet wallet? that is why you got hacked these two imporant things will give you more secured wallet and you should be using both together,metamask will be your protection from these phishing sites because it will block you from entering potential scam websites or fake ones.You probably got phished,or else your computer is infect with malware,i suggest install malwarebytes.

Hi,

Today I checked my wallet and I noticed someone transferred 84(50$) CS tokens from account to 0xd8490b0a7db82be84d99ff6e047ed07769b7a6eb address. I know it is impossible to get those tokens and it is not a lot but I want to know how my account got hacked. Is there any way we could track how the person got my wallet key? Any help would be appreciated.

here is the transaction https://ethplorer.io/tx/0x3fbc60b142e314da6512881cd5141c8768e6ece19fd1756c47deb37827a7a7ec#pageSize=100

Thanks!

Then its time for you to clean up your PC especially the one you are using in accessing your wallet. Maybe you have open a site in which you were phished. There are alot of clone sites today and you should be careful in opening them.

1st of all move all the coins you presently have in that wallet before the fraud moves more.
I hope you have done that

i am getting worried more and more because there are a lot of people being hacked the wallet  Sad Sad

Don't use metamask, and do not use MEW if you do not have a hardware wallet or a safe encrypted wallet.

I do not understand why there are a lot of people still doing the same, is like if you like to get hacked.

Sorry, but there is no going back in here, just buy a hardware wallet.



Why not to use metamask? Is metamask more secure than MEW?

Also, what do you guys think about the Trust Wallet app? https://trustwalletapp.com/

As I can see a lot of reputable projects are becoming partners with them. For example Havven, Kyber, Changelly, Poa...

Mayb u stored ur private key online and it was hacked.
I advise you take your private key offline and write it on a paper and keep it safely.
I advise you move out all your funds from the comprised etherwallet
I don't want to believe you were phished.
But always try to check and ensure that the link is https://myetherwallet.com before you input ur private key.

I think you might clicked a fishing mail link. I suggest,  You should transfer all your tokens a new wallet. They will hacked your other airdrop tokens..

Friend, I sympathize with you. There are a lot of ways to lose data. From viruses, to the substitution of the site. Make sure that private key is out of the reach of anyone else.

I advise using MetaMask for your browser. He will keep all your tokens and ether safe.

sincerely speaking i can just emerging the numbers or rate of hacking all this days, i was recently hacked on MEW, what should i do to trace that hacker or what will i do to stop the rate of hack on MEW. the person made way my heart earn money from my wallet.
i m giving those hacker last chance or they will go early to grave. i will use the transaction ID to work against that person if you know you recently hack any wallet just return the tokens or coins that you stolen from them including mine.

well the logic reason about it just , probaly u get keylogger when you surfing on internet.
or phising with fake mew.
a most of people still not aware about how to secure a simple wallet like that.


Yeah, i believe in that too some of as used keylogger for easily connected to the main account of our wallets and this is wrong procedure. This can be prevent if your computer will turn off everytime you don't used so that the connection of IP will not be detect by hackers were mostly the beginning of this 24/7 accounts log on.

I highly doubt that MEW was hacked. I believe that your key may be compromised. Protect your private key, this is the first and most important rule of all.

This is very sad!
P.S. Someone can describe the approximate measures of affordability from scammers. I myself use MYW + METAMASK, but still, I always worry about my wallet!
