Events like you experience like me
And I learned some errors they turn out to make the same Phishing website as Myetherwallet
To be more secure use Myetherwallet extension from google chrome as the best security

just to make sure this is the valid one right:
https://www.myetherwallet.com/

too many phishing in circulation so that the victim fell ...
always check your address before entering private key ...
I recommend to use. json file to login, with password combination

MEW is a very functional wallet but also exposes you in a few places when you create the key pairs. The nice thing about MEW is you can very easily get to your tokens on the Eth chain. There are risks though if you just use it in its basic standard form and use UTC files. At one stage when you create a key pair your private parts are exposed on the screen. You can use MEW if you want, but it is much better to use a hardware wallet like Ledge Nano S that can also store Ethereum tokens.

I suspect one of the following happened:

1. You got malware on your PC that stole your MEW UTC file and uploaded it. It then keylogged your password and the attacker imported your UTC file and unlocked it with the password. This is the classic hack of a wallet.
2. You took a screenshot of your private parts during key generation or you wrote it down for record keeping and the picture got stolen.
3. The hacker watched your screen and took an image of the private key.

Number 1 is most likely. In future, if you use MEW just use it for small types of tx like bounty collection and rather use a hardware wallet for high value longer term storage. THere is nothing you can do to get your coins back if you were indeed hacked.

Thanks for this but now I guess it's too late for me..

It is never too late, if you are not able to know how you got hacked then it may happen again, that is why when it comes to our coins the most important thing is to secure our coins even if that makes access to them harder that is better than to lose them, my recommendation is that you stop using an unsafe OS and that you bookmark the site of myetherwallet by doing that you can avoid most hack attacks.

Myetherwallet.com is ok.

Yes, it's right . I still use this wallet and all my tokens and ETH are fine.

Thank you for the information, a few days ago got an email from myetherwallet about the situation, but no information to be afraid.

OMG! this was happened to me yesterday when i unconciously got a notification from mew wallet concerning my ethereum balance that it is 0 ba Huh

???lance..

That's clearly those hackers trying to attempt to steal all you coins on your MEW buddy. I also got an email few days ago saying that I need to activate 2fa in my etherwallet. I never clicked the link but I replied to them saying " GO FUCK YOURSELVES HACKERS!"

You got them there. I just started using My ether wallet newly. I thought it's secured. Securing 2fa for my emails. Please all of you should start using a very active antivirus.

Some are victims of phishing cause its one effective way to steal someones private key even without holding thier mobile phones, next time better to check the url if its correct or not.

Most of the time that's the only way hackers are stealing tokens and balances to myetherwallet address. Each and everyone of you check all the time the address of MEW properly. There are misspelled letters in the middle of it that make it look like real MEW address. And when a victim penetrates to that phishing site, the hacker behind is very active and trying to send all the reliable tokens that you have. I'm not a victim of it but before in some other website, I used to be and now I'm aware of it.

If this is true, we should now all be extra careful about our private keys and all. We should only open our accounts in our home and only in our gadgets for much safer work. Hackers are on the go, we should take really good security.

I think you log in to a phising site. It is where a mimic site of myetherwallet. It is spelled likes this , myerterwallet, myetnerwailet. myetherrwallet etc. So you must be aware of the things you do before you act. I suggest to you that you read some important things about scamming in the internet and wallets including myetherwallet.

especially those days its so commen to send an email and they tell you that you must go to website ( the wrong one) and give your private key and so on . than ? hello there , you are hacked. myetherwallet will never ever send you an email. but those days there are a lot new coins start with e- and they have airdrops. be carefull with them too. never give them your eth adress that have your all eths or altcoins. just open new one and if you want than just join them but never ever use your private key. its like you r giving your key to thief and they can stole everything that you have it. here is some tips how to safe eth wallet :

https://steemit.com/security/@michael21984/maximum-security-tips-for-myetherwallet-no-more-phishing-hacking-or-losing-funds

there is another thing, i saw a stolen eth adress and i checked from etherscan and than i saw that some people send eth to this adress like at 15:39 for example than this transfered eth at 15:40 is gone to another adress. do they use some bots or what ? does anyone knows ?

When you going to website myetherwallet.com you need to look at upper left corner.
And there should be this:

That's mean that website is correct!

I also experienced it. What if in using a mobile phone when opening MEW? All my tokens from airdrop is gone. I just put my private key in my clipboard for east access but i guess its a wrong move. What is the best thing to do?

I receive this email
--snip--
Better stay tuned Wink

Myetherwallet [dot] [com] not requesting email at the time you register so I'm sure this is another phising link so be careful. Many phising link scattered everywhere, that's why do not be careless to click the link get from email or anykind of that.
