I tried to send eth to my other wallet, then after i press generate and send, it sent all to
0x4d517D272CE8D879D8891518E70153b49d2CDb96

https://etherchain.org/account/0x4d517D272CE8D879D8891518E70153b49d2CDb96
 
Anyone else got hacked ?




That address was generated automatically?? Or you put in waht you think is the right address but it changed as soon as you press send?

Too many phishing websites are spread through slack.You should be more vigilant in entering the website address.Missing one letter, your money disappeared
Fully agreed with this. If you want safe, never join in any of slack group. You are putting very big risk to earn small money.

Investment in crypto is good, but safer if you invest in SWARM. Try it!!
Do you think the site which you have advertized now will become more popular with this? not even once.


2. you went to fish website!

fish? What kind of fish on ocean he get? Grin


Please, read what OP's situation people. It was clearly his computer got hijacked when he pasted his other ETH address.
try to format your PC.
and next time, always double check your address, is it already right or not.

Please copy\paste web site adress of etherwallet that you are using for this, maybe you use some scam sites looks like myerther.

That would be my belief as well.  To OP... did you use a bookmark to get to MEW?  Did you manually type it in... or did you click a link in an email or on a website?  I've seen a few posts about losing coin from a MEW wallet but I've yet to hear it official that it was 'hacked'.

**as a side note, if you clicked a link from a website, it'd be beneficial to post that here so others can be warned.**

myetherwallet.com
i copied and paste the private key and logged on the account as so my other wallet address, is there some how a chrome plugin change the manually inputed wallet to another one ?
Since you used the official wallet, though strange, but there is a possibility of a malware on your system or browser that is hijacking your transaction. That is just a plain explanation for that and the dude behind this is sure making shitload of cash from this. It is important to always check the links you click as well as some webpages you visit and if possible, try to format your PC.

Hackers are constantly coming up with new ways of taking other people's money. To this we must always be ready but to avoid this it is very difficult if you chose a target for attack. I'm sure that in every such case, there is a share of your guilt. You will not return your coins but if you will learn this lesson in the future you will be more secure.

What really concerned me alot about this issue was, can you still get that eth wallet? Private key is really important but what else can we do to those professional hackers?

there is 3 possibilities:

1. you sent amount on the wrong adress!

2. you went to fish website!

3. your pc/mac is hacked!

It's definitely the 2 second option. He clicked on the phishing website which hackers and scammers send through slack and emails these days. It's easy to recognize the real myetherwallet but still people are careless. Sad to see your loss but it's gone.

Most likely you've clicked the link on your email / SLACK Channel. It is known to the community that slack is famous for PHISHING Message / SPAM to trick you to send Ether to X or Y or Z address in order to get FREE AIRDROPS. The name can be the same as the original name/domain ~MYETHERWALLET (e.g. myétherwallet / mÿetherwallet / myetherwaÌÌet / myethërwallet / myetherwàllet ...etc... DO not click any link from any email / slack / telegram channels in the future. These maybe the most common mistakes that newbie / tech savvy users encountered. Always always type it on your browser or do google search on the keywords. Assure that the site is secured with the original MYETHERWALLET LLC Certificate (SSL / Secured page).

Even google search you gotta be careful because nothing is safe. Here's a scenario! When you type myetherwallet, a list will be shown to you and Never ever click on the Google adwords that contains the name of your search terms that could potentially be a malicious site.


Nope! There's no way you are getting back those tokens you sent back to the impersonator unless you have the private key!
Hard lesson learnt worth that much of ETH!


Note : Always insatall METAMASK on google chrome (free extension available). With that, you can be secured from these phishing site but not 100%, at least there's a warning!

some hacking people are using slack. they mail to bitcoin talk user and ask for private key and new people in this field reply their private key and get lost their coin through the slack participation. one of my friend have losted their coin last week. so please carefully check the slack email and do not reply your private key to them. good luck.

This is it scammers are everywhere so it is better to be cautious on every websites that we click. Like in slack channel there are always sending messages about myether if you click that link it is possible that all your ether/token may lose.

If you loose not only those eths you tried to send but also other assets in same wallet, you probably entered a fake site. If you only lost those eths you tried to send, you may have a copy paste virus in your computer that changes what you copied with their own wallet adress.
