Topic: MYETHERWALLET HACKED! - page 2. (Read 9293 times)

thank you for sharing such information because it helps us beginners to be stronger in securing our wallets ,,, hope bad things like the theft of coins in the wallet do not happen again.

mew plus metamask is much safer than having a mew account alone because by using a metamask your adding an extra security to your mew account and you rather use metamask to login in any exchange instead of exposing your mew private keys else where. Mew is basically prone to hacks and phising attempts that is why much better to avoid using it directly rather you only need alternatives such as metamask in orded to be secure for your online activities.

Hi dkn2017,

Yes Myetherwallet.com and metamask.io are safe to store your Ethereum and ERC20 tokens. But beware that MEW is the most popular ETH wallet so they are targeted by phishers, don't fall for that.
As I've said, there are phishing links that are scattered through the web so you became a victim of it. Next time, always check the URL properly.
If that coin isn't listed yet to an exchange, hackers will not interested to it so better send it to its respective wallet.
How much is total worth of ETH scammed to you?

just tell me guys how are you doing this, how were you able to be hacked, were you storing there billions? In other way I don't understand why people were hacking you..

Hi Everyone,

I need to know whether MyetherWallet with Metamask is safe to store my ether or not? Today someone hacked my account and transferred my ether from MyetherWallet account.
One more thing can I transfer all the alt coins , which is yet to lauch after ICO present in my compromised MyetherWallet account to MetaMask.
Please help me. I am very depressed and worried.

I got hacked too,3months ago!I dont know how it happened but nothing to dealt with it only move on and start new again.Maybe you got phished or if your trading at Ed,maybe one reason.Lot of people now who is trading with ed getting lost their eth and special tokens.Hackers are inside the market.

Just don't log onto the website for now.

For safe you should  always run MyEtherWallet offline, locally.
Official guide here : https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/offline/running-myetherwallet-locally.html

i guess you need to store your privatekey safely.
or you got blinded by the Phishing links .

Very sorry for your loss.  But from what I know a paper wallet or ledger is the best in this situation 

Some times it is very good to check twice about before clicking those links because they will steal your address and your coins. Even I faced the same situation so it is always good for any one check twice before clicking any link.

One more additional tip. Check your balance through ethplorer or etherscan instead of through myetherwallet. Only log into your wallet when you want to transfer tokens. The sad stories I read remind me that I really should buy a hardware wallet now.

Metamask is always valuable, why did you not add it?

got robbed too from this address

how to prevent hackers
could i have alarm on cellphone or any alarm or any kind of alarm to find out if someone opens my acount on ethereum
this is a good post for me and I'm aware of the hackers

IS MYETHERWALLET.COM SAFE
Hello,
I participated in an ICO before Christmas and created a wallet at Myetherwallet for the coin. On 28.12 I go into my wallet and have to watch how all coins from my wallet are sent to an address. So all gone. Then I followed the address via etherscan. I noticed that on the 29th and 30th 12 a huge amount of many different coins from many different addresses, all to the same address where my coins disappeared, were sent. Only on the 2 days worth several hundred thousand US $. In the following days until today not so many transactions are made at this address, but over and over again. I would not notice or would not interest me if not exactly to this address my stolen tokens would have gone. Obviously someone on myetherwallet.com is up to mischief. I sent the recipient's address and multiple sender addresses to support, but nothing happens.
Oh yes, my key was kept safe, not on the PC.
However, I still expected from a customer to whom I sold something, a small amount of ETH Zurich and when I opened the wallet to see if I had already arrived,
I was called out of the office and left the wallet open. When I came back after about 10 minutes and looked at the screen, only a small amount of the tokens were there, but they disappeared after a few minutes. I think that I left the wallet open was the big mistake. I just do not understand why the support does nothing, there are still Coins sent from different addresses to this address.
My PC is constantly checked by a security company, except that runs the full program of Kaspersky around the clock. I think they have hackers waiting for someone to enter his key and open his wallet.

So sad it just happened to me yesterday  . My Datum was stolen I don't know any reasons why, my desktop is completely secured from any viruses. I'm using JSON File stored on my external hard drive and it has no any copy on my desktop.

I hope this incident won't ever happen again. I'm glad that MEW staff really put an effort to make a pop-up warning whenever the user will open his account so if ever someone still got hacked again then that must be a very stupid and dump person.

You computer is probably full of malware and trojans.

you should format your pc , install updated antivirus and updated os

EtherDelta would do nothing about it because its already set on their rules that they don't  hold your private private key for you and you and only you are responsible on your own security.
I may say on how will you determine the owner of it, you can track him down track every transaction heshe made and figure it out on how will you get on touch on himher. But if i were you i will not waste my time looking for that scammer and try to get my token back, why It is because if i were to track that hacker and get touch on him or her, i don't have any idea what to do next would i beg for my token or use foul words to make me satisfied if i do these things is there any changes any improvement or any earningsI may say its totally waste of my time...  So better move on and make your mistake a lesson and a warning for everyone to avoid this kin of situation.
