I'm not sure I understood your situation. But from what I have understood there are several reasons possible. I mean why that happen:
I'm hacked victim,I used my etherwallet to received my assets..but why hacker know my pivate key? Hacker is sent ethereum into my wallet and used as a gas to get all my coins..how it all happened guys.?
your explanation is so unclear that I find it hard to explain, when your account was hacked how it started and how is it possible if you use double security. 
There's no problem if you guys are using MEW (Myetherwallet) for receiving your Ethereum or any ERC20 tokens.
The problem is you are being phished, YES!
You logged in to a website that looks like MEW and you put your private keys into it.
The solution to this one is don't be so ignorant with the website you are visiting especially if your private key is at stake.
Bookmark MEW and your problem is done.

It's kinda weird of thinking someone is being hacked. The private key is completely safe to access. I mean Always was, will be continued as what I believe. Make sure to bookmark the site, as you just need to be sure you go to the correct site and don't get redirected somewhere.
Private key is safe and I don't think your account can be hacked except if you mistaken clicked on another link thereby exposing your account information to hackers. Myetherwallet is a good website. You should be very careful when imputing your informations or during transactions.
I have never experienced anything like this
you may enter in myetherwallet with private key not with keystore / json file
the matter of my friend once said too dangerous if we login in myetherwallet with private key
different from keystore / json files that are guaranteed security

If you feel dangerous about the private its better to check the MEW link twice because you need to secure your wallet. In offline how securely your keeping password to bank accounts and in the same way you need to keep MEW account in the same way.
Nobody can hack your private keys. The hackers wont get your private key unless you give them. I suggest you to get a pendrive and store your passwords and private keys in that. Also dont give your private keys to anyone and allow your trusted buddies to use your laptop or pc. Also dont try to open your wallets from internet cafes. Its not safe.
Some people claim quamtum computing will make your sentence wrong. But as far as we know today it is rather impossible indeed.

Private key are not safe these days. I've had this experience.
If you are a keeper and very meticulous to every security measures you should've double check your computer first before doing any trade. Sometimes the fault are in the users and not in the program that we are using because if i am the developer i would do everything to protect the information of all of my clients but then again i can't do it all alone without the help of my client. It is your own responsibility to take counter measures to your personal information specially when it involves money.

maybe you have accidentally clicked the address of fishing. and after that whatever you do has been recorded in her web. so he can know the activities you do. you better make a new eth wallet.
For your main ethereum account never store your private address on an hard drive. Print it on PAPER and store it in a safe place !!!

Do you share your private key to someone else? if that not, you are a victim phishing web. To get into a MEW account is hard for someone, private key is a complicated number that no one can memorize. And this possibility is not because of private key.Now cryptocurrency has become popular. Many new people are interested in investing in cryptocurrency because they are confident of getting rich in the near future. This is what causes hackers to maximize and focus on stealing profits in cryptocurrency. I have read some news, someone who lost a lot of ethereum on MEW account, and after searching for him logged in at the fake MEW site hacked by hackers. This is called phishing web, a hacker makes a site fake to steal prikey and even the investment we have.
The recent hack does not require the private keys, sometimes it could go beyond the familiar password theft. However, the password safety precaution has been a regular discuss on this forum. This are reasons why this forum was established to educate ourself on new development in the crypto community. There can still be some exception with how hacking can take place but not where safety precautions are followed.
Private key is safe as long as you store it in a safe. A good safe box, not a cheap one.
No need to buy safe to store private keys, you can use trezor or ledger nano. In case of paper wallet just hide it somewhere, if anyone will ever rob you there is very slim chance that the robber will know what is private key.
The private keys are safe but the website you logged in to maybe was a phishing site that's why the hacker got your information and took all your coins and tokens from you MEW account. That there is not safe. You have to bookmark the correct website and make sure before you log in that it is the correct one.
Yes, you are right private key is always safe and cannot able to hack the private key, it is possible through different MEW links. That's why we have to check the links whether it is phishing email or correct by checking it multiple times.
most of times it happen either bcoz of entering you key on phishing site or sharing it for airdrop .
better to use metamask for safe transaction .

I remember the last I visited is AIRDROP.I joined 3 AIRDROP I used myetherwallet..then i send ethereum from spectrocoin wallet then I sleep..when I checked after other day I saw my ethereum Bal was 0.then I checked eetherscan transaction I saw all my coins are out..😭
You sent your ethereum from your spectrocoin wallet so how much ETH you are about to receive?Are you sure that the transaction from spectrocoin is of a success? Your wallet has been sucked out by those hackers and what are those airdrops required you to do so?
What are those 3 airdrops?
Yes, I do love also to know them, posting the ETH which was your wallet sent this token can be a helpful info on this forum to track down this person, maybe he has an account here and at least mentioned this three coins for other to know not join any future transaction with its team members.
