We all gotta be careful. Don't download new altcoin wallets just because they promise an airdrop - it is easiest way to get infected.

Always double check the link you are accessing.

Most important - buy a bloody hardware wallet. That shit costs you 100 usd, and is by far the best way to protect your hard earned cash!!

I am fortunate to have learned from other peoples losses. I was quick enough to secure my funds, I am sure I would have had stuff stolen by now.



Some of you literally give your money away to hackers.

From what it sounds like, you visited a suspicious website and something downloaded onto your computer.

Always make sure that the address you copy and paste is the same address you are sending to.

Visually verify it before you hit send. takin that extra few seconds will help you avoid being hacked in the future.

Stay safe my friend.

We all crypto currency is particularly prone to security breaches like this. Having said its important to be fear ' because that will put you in chech' and be daring at the same time. Just know what you are doing. And if you think you've missed it somewhere. Stop! And learn.

I see a lot of comments about how concerning and scary this is, but to be honest... I don't feel it.  Based on my experience here, most 'hacks' are due to either a compromised system or user error.  I'm not saying that's the case here, but if you get fearful for every post of missing funds then you should really get out of crypto and put your money in an insured bank.

That Address has taken in $22K in ether over the last few days.  Sucks that people are making money like this.  

Over the last fews days I've seen a ton of phishing emails/websites mimicking myetherwallet, with slight spelling differences, like myeitherwallet, or myetheirwallet ... are you sure you didn't click on a scam link?

I heard there was malware going around that modifies your clipboard when it detects a Bitcoin wallet address. So when you copy a wallet address it's different when you paste it. Did you check if the address you pasted was the one you intended to send your ether to? Maybe there is a similar malware for eth.

This is worrisome and scary at the same time. But according to what you wrote up there, you said you were send to your other wallet, and you open both wallet? Why would you do that!

I am curious to know what happened. Did you download any new altcoin wallets recently?
I agree with Zaoxhou that you may download any wallet or cryptorelated software, together with your download and install you will install malware in your PC. I lost about 1000 USD or my token few month ago, and now I use new notebook. I never click slack suspicios links and download cheap fuck new airdrop coins.

It could be some sort of virus, I'm pretty sure I've heard of that in the past.

A simple script such as:

If clipboard == -ethereum address format-:
   use -this address- instead

Also, isn't there a better way than to store your ETH online? I wouldn't trust a website even if I created it myself haha.

Wipe your computer, buy a Trezor. I'm sorry to hear about your loss man.

stolen funds is very alarming. Have you transact this few weeks? In etherdelta or something? My friend deposit ebtc in etherdelta after a day he lost his ebtc funds and also some coins in his etherwallet.

no, the coins were secure in my wallet for more than a month, this only happened when i actually initiate a transfer by my self today.

My doubt is anyone here have had same issue getting ETH sent to that address

This is what worry me, i put my Ether in MEW, and the secret key in my pc. If somehow someone find out my secret key, they can transfer money to any account. I think you shouldn't put your secret key file in the pc. Save it in USB or something.

very alarming better to make sure to double check the website hackers are just around the corner waiting to attack in any chance that they've got, better to
make sure everything are correct before hitting the send option, I will wait for any updates regarding to this matter as I have some token from my wallet
inside MEW.

It may be due to some where mistakenly miss handling of private key .  So always secure your private key at secret place never place it in google drive.
