Check always the receiving address if you will ever send Ethereum or bitcoin.
This malware has been popular up until now so if you have ever encountered this today, next time don't just copy paste the address and start reading and double checking it.

https://ethplorer.io/address/0xa2220d18c3fa1c2251c92737be3e4102fabdff06 This person is taking ETH and other tokens form Myetherwallet. I am one of his victim. I think he used copy-board virus to take others Private Key.  Be safe mates.

  

This is the transfer he made from my MEW.
This had been known on past years on that copy-board virus where you would paste up another address instead of yours when you do make transactions because if you do talk on privatekey stealing then this would really talk about keylogger or any malware that do copy and sent out any private keys that he detects in.This would be a lesson learned on your part which you should not carelessly download any files on the net without having any caution because anytime our pc can really be affected which on result to compromise our important informations such as keys or any other similar thing.

Many people have been phishing in order to scam away ETH and ERC20 or ERC223 tokens from careless people. However, this is not a problem with MEW itself.

I believe you must clicked a link that made the virus to install on your system, it is not good to click on links you don't really know much about, scammer can easily send links to their victims and once they click on them, it will install some copy-board virus. So everyone should be careful out there and protect their wallet.

You always have to enter from the bookmark page into MEW to avoid any clone website login that is the most of the hacker's strategy to steal your login information and also never share your private keys to any bounties or airdrops even if they ask you and you need to keep separate wallet for bounty hunting job which is to only receive the bounty rewards later you can send it to your main wallet.

Oh no, but then you should do something in order to prevent it from happening it again, what i mean is that dont just rely to one wallet, you should have your own separate wallet like buying a hardware wallet, this is one way to combat hackers, they dont have access on it. so try buying one, you can store their your top long term coins. Hackers nowadays are very eager to earn more free money than working., they simply steal information from the others and make a money to it.

I feel so sorry about your hack incidence, I will advise the community members to always use wallet that will make them not expose their private keys when making transaction, wallets like metamask, mycrypto desktop and the rest.

I didnt understand exactly how the hacker got access to your MEW. Did you login from a phishing site or have you been keylogged or something. If the hacker has access to your private key why is he taking only parts of your tokens and not all at once for example?

Reading from what OP said this is done by infecting the victims computer. As various programs have access to your clipboard, there are programs that are specifically designed to swap what you copy and what you paste afterwards. Such small viruses are very common and are nothing new. But when you fail to double check everything or when you are using your day to day computer/OS you are vulnerable from such attacks. So this is the result why attacker haven't taken everything as he only tricked the user to send to wrong address, but ultimately he or she has no access to the private key.

Copy board virus is very stressful for thieves
You probably clicked on a phishing link, or you made a signed signature in a fake Myetherwallet website


Ensure to double check every email you get and never sign messages outseide Myetherwallet.com

Here is something I usually do and it may help.  I memorize the last 6 digits of my private key.  Anytime I enter my private key I copy and paste the first half.  Then I type in the last 6 digits.  This way you copy and past some of it and type the rest.  This may throw off the hackers. 

This is not bad idea, but of you have 10-15 MEW's it will hardly work, or if your memory is so outstanding to remember all private keys Shocked - better to write up the last digits of keys on the paper and put in the safe ( better keep this data in several places  Wink)

Everything is very strange. This person really transfers many tokens to this purse. So there are many postupeleniye to eth. But it is not clear from where the villain got accesses to purses, I believe you not his only victim. Or got on the phishing website, or it is a new type of a virus that is more dangerous to all of us.

Yes, I guess using of the ledger nano hardware wallet can be beneficial in such conditions. They are completely virus free and there is no way they can get infected. Literally a function of wallet like that is very simple yet not hackable at all. If you would have been using the hardware wallet then there may not have been the virus, file etc which could go directly into the wallet and steal the private info at all. The hardware wallet connect to the wallet directly from chrome extension which is almost impossible to hack. So better go for it and have these things sorted out.

That's really bad how it is possible to find the copy board data. Google must give security patch for the every users they were using it. When they find any attack they should notify our email address that is actually the thing they should follow.

Then there is any hacking how we can secure our copy board from them mate?
