i think in the times when computers are so tightly into our daily routine it's really risky to stote your information in it. be oldschool, write on paper
Thank you for warning the people about the securities about the private we must store our private key very securely. Int crypto world the key is the key to everything what you hold and there is no recovery and no place to complain.
something that is quite unfortunate. but know to be honest this is a fault of its own, which you do. save it as important as it is in the online servers will allow anyone else especially hackers have the opportunity to freely could open it and even this many people who should know. would be quite risky storing this in a server because there are always hackers everywhere.
Iirc Ian Balina was hacked in the exact same way.
Private keys needs to be stored offline, with good old paper as the best option probably

Aww this is really sad but Thnx to you. You warned us all from this situation now we will aware by this .and will not use evernote.. I hope your loss will be recover soon I wish you good licfor future and thanks for this advice for this awareness.
You have to be smart in storing your key. The key is the only access to your crypto doesn’t matter what coin is it is all about the key. So you have to be very much careful there are many hard wallets to securely keep the keys you should try them.
In the website so many wallets are available. So you can choose a good wallet which is secure and safe and install an antivirus software.
wherever you want to save a private key, then I suggest to add some special characters and place them in a line that you can easily remember. so when you want to enter a private key then you must delete the character that you added earlier. anyone cant access our wallet, if they do not delete the character that we have added.
This application often connects to the Internet without a permission. Hackers know this and hack this way a lot of wallets, mails, etc.
I think that isn't as easy as that, I believe this is personal fault such as a weak password or OP using a similar password for several accounts.

If i am not mistaking, evernote should be an online note and anything online can easily be hacked if care is not taken. Thanks for alerting forum members though, but next time, i would advise if you are going to even store on a devise and not online note this time or perhaps on your e-mail, it would be better you omit some parts of it that you have written down or can easily remember.
Wow. It seems to me that you are very bad about your own crypto security, which led to the loss of personal funds that were stored on the wallet. Is it really so difficult to save a private key on a flash drive? Or print on paper? Or get a tattoo with a private key? It would be a lot safer than keeping it in the Evernote.
Place your private keys on a sheet of paper and an encrypted thumb drive (2-3 of them). Stop using fancy plugins and all this other stuff you do not need in the mix. A sheep of paper and pencil is your best defense against hackers. To beat technology you must go to the stone age.
This case more like personal fault, you can't blame evernote. Ask yourself why someone can access your evernote. I appreciate this information, it can be some lesson for us.
First thing about storing private keys, and passwords is to store them offline and not online. You just cant be secure if it is somewhat online.
Keys must be kept in personal and secured way. Evernote is not secured in any kind of way. The developers have the access on your note without you being noticed . as the keys are everything in crypto it is better to store the key by writing it down in a paper. And store it somewhere safe physically.
Evernote is never for storing personal informations. Because all you store in their server is completely visible to the people who work for them. I think you learned your lesson.
Why would anyone store their private informations online? There's thoushand of hackers are lurking on the internet for those information, Doing this will eventually lead you to scamming.
Storing private information's on Evernote is very risky. I have heard from people before that their security system can easily be overridden. So i think no one should post their personal information's in here.
