I just logged into MEW and when check my balance everything except 45 tokens everything else has gone! My wallet was hacked, but where have all my tokens gone?

I am devastated. Has anyone else been hacked how is this possible?


I am not sure what to do! please advice folks.

Where your tokens have been gone?

You must see tx in your account

The only possible way is that someone stole your private keys.

Now you can not do anything, just create a new account as your actual account it's not safe anymore

If others steal your private key, there is not much you can do, unfortunately.

Are you sure that your MEW wallet was hacked? You should check the last few transactions and see where the ethereum has landed. That wil likely be an exchange or mixer service (if the hacker is smart) - in that case contact the exchange but if its a mixer then I dont think they can help you.


The most probable hack of MEW wallets is by phishing. Always check the URL of the site when you are logging into MEW. Often phishing links are set p by Slack, Telegram bots in order to scam people during rush hours of popular token sales. If you unknowingly send the phishing site your private keys then all your coins will be spent by them.

Bookmark the actual MEW site, apply Metamask extension if you use Chrome or use a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano.

the probable cause of this case was your private was shared thru phishing site , there are other hackers or social engineers that will sent you emails pretending they are from support team of myetherwallet and saying they are upgrading their system for upcoming fork ,something like that, then they will ask you put your backup files, the passwords and the private/public key then a moment later your account was hack. so the bootm line, it is us the user who vulnerable to security breach but not the etherwallet itself, if the private key was shared then there are no reason that your wallet is secured.

You can actually check on where those coins of your did go or being transacted. You would able to find the hackers address but knowing on the identity of the owner then its not possible.This kind of situation is common among those people who don't really make safety precautions or tight security on their own private keys.You definitely disclose your private keys into the public which someone did able to know and see that and decide to hack your wallet.Sad to say that those coins are gone because transaction aren't reversible.This would really be a lesson learned for you.

Sorry for you loss and feeling your pain.
Yes hacking wallet is verymuch possible .
I think your computer have some spyware or some kind of keylogger .
Also there comes a possibly of remote session .
Then hacker just took your private keys and wash out your tokens.
Please
1.Format your laptop.
2.use a very good antivirus like avast.
3.use a very defensive firewall.

I also lost 3000usd few times ago so yeah this is not the end of the world keep trying be safe next time.

Thank you folks so much for your thoughts. Great valuable advices you have blessed me with. Your kind response has been so helpful and has helped me to feel reassured about how to be a supportive friends.

How did you log in to MEW? That's the only thing that sucks about it, more security risk than having a local wallet software.

It is very possible if your computer is infected by some trojan or virus. You should be careful and use a clean computer if you access any wallet or store any priv code on the computer. Sorry for your loss but there is nothing you can do to take your tokens back.

why do you not use a virtual machine for this kind of stuffs, with a good antivirus + firewall and a virtual machine is pretty hard for someone to hack you and just to be sure use strong passwords and type them with a virtual keyboard.

Cheers,

I'm was wondering how that could be possible to happen if you secure your private key properly, sorry to say but like what others said if the private key
was been hacked then its easy for the hacker to transfer your funds, sorry for that loss mate and hope many will learn from this and let their private key
be place in a secure location.

You can do nothing if someone had stolen your keys even you checked the transaction details you can't figure out who because there's no registration upon creating mew wallet. Just start by your own and make sure your keys will be secured.

Hello! If your money is gone by an ordinary shipment from your wallet, you can not change anything anymore ... did you show your private key somewhere? If someone knows it except you, then it will not be difficult to withdraw money.
unfortunately help here does not work :(

If you are robbed, the thieves would even steal tokens. I think you have just technical problems and your coins fine. Try to write in support of MEW.

Mew account probably can hacked by airdrops or you had input mistakenly your private key instead public key..This is a common problem..We dont want to miss any airdrops, Thats why we always fill up the form very fast.. If you mistakenly send your private keys then all your coins will be spent by them.

Now you can't do anything, Create a new account as your actual account .This account is not safe anymore..Because they know your all mew acc information.

I am so sorry for the lost..
They hacked your dreams

Are you sure that the coins are gone?
  Did you know that the nodes that display token balances are few in number due to the influx of new erc20 coins being created. Be sure to check ethplorer using your ethereum address,  because you may still have your tokens. Myetherwallet doesn't show the balance of your wallet all of the time, like I said before, due to a limited number of available nodes on the network.
     Is your original etheum still in your wallet, because tokens can't be moved without gas?

I'm sorry for your losses buddy. Check the transactions in the wallet to see where the coins have gone, and maybe you'll be able to trace them so atleast you can warn other people about this scam/hack attempt (and not fall for it again).

What do you think was the reason you got hacked?

Especially Myetherwallet is riddled with fake websites, phishing attacks and whatnot. For some days, I got like five spam mails a day, asking me to log in, claim something, all this stuff.

Now, the next part may sound a little harsh and I apologize in advance:

This is crypto, this is the Wild West of the Internet. If you can't protect your belongings, you WILL be robbed. Assume that this can happen again and act accordingly. For one, assume that the devices you used to access your wallets are compromised, until proven otherwise. Do NOT use them to set up wallets until you can be sure they are clean.

If you want to continue investing in cryptocurrencies, you NEED to learn how to protect your digital goods. This is an extensive topic and I don't really know good and beginner-friendly explanations and how-tos.

This may be a good starting point:

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@notsofast/4-ways-to-secure-your-bags-bitcoin-altcoins-cryptoasset-tokens-whatever-a-notsofast-security-primer

I hope you dont pasted your private key somewhere in the web or at some fake Myetherwallet pages. Always keep your private key and your password secure!

Sorry for your loss but you should be more careful. Everywhere you can see warning signs. Even in Myetherwallet top of the page they warn users. You shouldn't click any fake links. You also need to check out your computer for infected files and key logger etc. malicious files.

Check the transactions in etherscan.
I hope you do not miss your coins. Maybe the site is not loaded properly. Did you clicked on ''Load token balances'' button?

If all tokens were transferred in just seconds, it was probably because of a phishing attack. If so it is not special to you.

Underneath your transaction balacne is a section called transaction history, check ETHexplorer.io. Your tokens will show up there if they are not stolen. Sometimes they don't show in your wallet but you can always check ETHexplorer to find them. Good luck, hope they weren't stolen.

What to say here more, when almost all was said. I just thing, you gave your private key to some airdrop web page, pretending to be legit. Other can be infected PC. From MEW is no other way to stole your tokens. Final words is this, is bad feeling see, that your balance is 0, this little coins what you have are probably some bounty paid after hack, but is no way to recover your lost, just take this as lesson for next time. Crypto is dangerous business and be carefull is not just empty words. Believe me, I know, what I wrote to you from my personal experience. Find some good Projects, invest there, secure coins, or tokens and try recover what you lost and move forward. Good luck!

be patient, and fix your fatigue, avoid hyip, project scams, and phishing. upgrade your antivirus, and delete some files that are indicated

When you myetherwallet, bookmark it and always use the bookmark instead of typing in the address or google searching it.  There are many fake MEW sites out there.  Especially on the Slack channel.  Never click or use those links that scammers message you with.  Always use a paid antivirus, it's the best investment you can get.  I recommend Bitdefender Total Security 2018.  

I feel very sorry for you , all great advice in this topic.

I hope you can start over and make some money again .

My friends also experience things like you, some have been stolen, Not just token balance but ETH balance in MEW is also stolen. Maybe it starts from our own mistakes so we have to be more careful. Hope you can be sincere and patient.

MEW is a very secure place. If you lose your penny, I am sure you have disclosed the information to others, or, you have used a fake website, and when you log your wallet into, it has stolen your money.

Phishing attacks are way too common for MEW wallet. Always look for URL. It should be .com and no other TLD. Unfortunately you are scammed and the amount must have been moved to the hacker wallet and now you simply can't claim it. Now have a new wallet and be aware of phishing sites. Hide your private keys. This is what all I can suggest.

publish you wallet address here and we will all tell you what happened to your tokens.
Is is an online wallet or a desktop wallet?
Do you share the computer with someone else?
Someone could install a keylogger on your machine and grab your keystore password.
There are many possible scenarios.
How many wallets do you have?
Are you sure your are using the right key file? it could be that you are using a  keyfile for a diffrenet wallet but happens to use the same password.

Had you click recently any link from a mail, slack or telegram ? I think you open your MEW in a phising site so hacker steal your funds easily. In my own experience i received a mail from random sender and there is a link of rryetherw11et that if you do not checked the properly it look like the legit one of myetherwallet. Install metamask for your MEW.

There are phishing scams that email you free coins after the ethereum fork. Becareful of these scams as they will send out a link and mimic the myetherwallet website.  Always check the url to make sure before inputting your private keys.  Once the hackers record your private key, there is very little you can do.

so sad. mew should upgrade their security. just with private key is not enough. feels bad bro. the private key is the main think and people just have to hack our computer to get it.

you may incorrectly enter your private key MEW. so you lose all the assets you have. if it's like this already, it's too late for you to take action. maybe with this kajadian you are required to be more vigilant in accessing MEW account.

probably you leak your private key somewhere..sorry for that.. Actually I feel it's a bit difficult for normal people to maintain their keys.

Maybe you logged into your computer at a local coffee shop or something? Thats the easiest way for someone to hack into your IP. Or maybe you give someone your KEY instead of your ETH address? I've almost done that a few times, its pretty stupid.

Sorry for your losses friend. Don't take it too hard on yourself, try to recompose and start accumulating all over again. Crypto will still grow a lot and you'll be able to recuperate what you lost. Just make sure you spend some time researching security and be more careful in the future.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Use several different types of wallets to store your tokens.

Can post your public address if people can help you trace those coins, if it was moved to exchange then the person may be tracked but I doubt the person will be dull enough to do that

I think you entered your private key to the fake MEW, or click unknown source and your computer was infected by virus. Therefore you need to be cautious next time.

This is good advice. I think that this is the best response to your questions. I myself bookmarked the actual MEW site in my google chrome browser. I’m not familiar with wallet hacks but it is likely that you somehow lost your private keys. Maybe you can check the transactions as suggested and trace your lost tokens from there. Or try to remember whether you somehow gave away your private keys, perhaps that could help you determine how you lost your tokens. We have to be careful next time, in the future maybe you could store your tokens in different wallets.
 

I would say first check your address on https://etherscan.com and verify whether if the tokens are still there.
If not, you can follow the transactions hashes and see if it has been moved to an exchanged or not.

Always protect your "Private keys" and use trusted sources. make sure the website is HTTPS and the URL is correct.

Very sad news.Myetherwallet is very popular wallet for everyone I think.Because any token supported in this wallet.But private key is the best issue for mew.Always try to keep safe mew private key.

Aww that is so sad. I have a question for you. Are you an airdrop participant? Well if you are, then that would be a mistake. You mistakenly put your private key rather than your ethereum address. That is so sad.

It is not possible without your private key and maybe you put your private key in any airdrop instead of your ether wallet. Same happens with my friend and he put his private key in place of his eth address and his whole account stolen.

Do you know how it happened? Maybe your experience could help other people secure themselves better and avoid this kind of hack... Im sorry you had to suffer these losses. Good luck rebuilding your stacks.

I really doubt that your MEW account was hacked. Unless, the hacker obtained a file of your wallet (if you are using KSTORE/JSON). If that happens, him (hacker) should have the password as the wallet is encrypted and will only be accessed if they have the pass needed.

Maybe they are not just appearing as you need to load (show all of your tokens). There is a possibility that you didn't add them. Also, you can be able to check all the transactions that was been made through your acct. to see if your coins was been forwarded into another wallet (given that it was really been hacked).

Unfortunately, there is no way those coins will be able to return right back at you. Unless, you know who the culprit is and the coins was still stored in the wallet. Much better if you have also access on it.

MEW is a secured wallet, you should take carefully of your wallet file and only you should remember its private key or password.

try to remember again, maybe you have told someone about the private key. yes most people do not realize the private key has been shared, either for airdrop or follow ico project. I have experienced it once. because I carelessly gave my private key to ico project registration column. so be more careful for the future.

I'm sorry to hear that; it is a very expensive lesson indeed. My hunch is, you have saved passwords  on your browser including your private keys and that's how the hacker got your funds. I suggest you use hardware wallets instead, as is much safer.

You should check the website is official before log in bro.
It happens.
Be careful next time.

Actually it is not advisable to use too many wallets as you may have lost or forgotten some of them. One of the best way to store is to get hardware wallet so that it adds another layer of security and make it hard for the hacker to access your wallet.

Next time, make sure that you double check everything. Scammers are everywhere and just waiting for careless altcoins holder to victimize.

A different wallet for every type of token can minimize your loss. I check my computer weekly for any keyloggers and spyware also. You should enable every security feature you can on your wallets also. Another thing to avoid is any airdrop that requires you to download a wallet as it's really easy to hide stuff on them. sorry for your loss anyway.

I think your pc has been hacked and steal your private information, or you may have been tricked into entering your information into a fake website.

I will give everyone an addon cocktail to boost your security signficantly: uBlock origin, uMatrix, ghostery, tampermonkey for the anti-adblock, metamask and ether adress lookup. uMatrix will help keep you safe more than you could ever know.

You are not lucky, you probably went to a phishing site and they have stolen your private keys. Now nothing can be done. I'm really sorry.

Is this related to the "Monero Economy Workgroup" ?
I wouldn't be surprised.. that guy was labeled a scammer eventually.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=776479.msg12619507#msg12619507
I doubt it's related but i would piss myself to death laughing if it was.
Everyone and their dog wants a fucking ETH ICO clone coin gimmick shit coin fer teh ROI'z.

ETH = SCAM

ICO = SCAM

It's pretty fucked up when there is no end in site and hundreds of shit coins pouring out of ETH.
Back in the old days we'd call it a shit coin cloning platform and.. avoid it.
Oh but not you fuckers LOL
You just chant MOAR !!!111ONE

Are you sure that you did not give your private key to anyone.Also check the last transactions so that you will know where they are.

sorry for your losses! are you sure you didn't put you private key in a phishing website?

MEW is very secure and don't store private key!

I'm sorry to hear that. Master ttookk had given you some suggestion and you can do it. Now, we must be carefull to save our private key because many people want to stolen our tokens 😭

Have you joined are any airdrop or clicked a link on MEW? If you had you've just clicked a phishing site. Some site were made by hackers which looked like MEW, so next time instead of clicking links, just type it manually. If you haven't maybe someone stole your private key.

Doesn't matter what's the wallet, if your private key got away somewhere you're donc.
Post your public address so that we can investigate what happened.

I am confuse, how someone hacked your MEW account? Did you use a computer rent or something? Have you checked your private keys? This is kinda alarming since I've seeing a lot their MEW is getting hacked. May I ask everyone how you guys keep your private keys? Mine is stored on my Google Drive and I would like to know other way how to secure it.

First all make sure you are actually logging into the real MEW otherwise this could be an effort to get you into submitting private keys. Also have you clicked any links from twitter, slack and email recently to MEW rather than access directly?

I sympathize you, but nobody will help you in this situation. Take a very deep breath and remember — hackers never sleep. Only these guys could steal a key, kept in memory. Unfortunately, you have to start everything from the very beginning.

It's very bad news.I am sorry for your losses.MEW is a best popular wallet.Because many ICOs use there platform.I know private key is the main issue.Keep private key safe then your MEW wallet is safe.There are many fishing site.Don't give your private key on fishing site.Then your MEW keep safe.

Well don't trust airdrops or someone at your house. Secure your pc/laptop with password.

Sorry about that...  May be your private 🔑 has been exposed..  Next time,  be careful by securing your gadgets with strong password and don't expose your private key 🔑

yes i may agree on it the only thing that you are holding is the private key so keep in a safe and never give to any site like that pishing site there is a lot that send you an email but you may see the link dont click that or log in on that.

Yeah, happened to a couple people, not a new thing either. It is something that happens every so often, one wallet or another. Might not be that site, probably another new wallet or coin out there it is something that came around this week or the last, OH MY, could it be that Bitcoin Gold wallet that every site has and they do not even use the same daemon????? Hmm, you guys enjoy that and enjoy the new wallets, either way, you were giving your coin away anyway.

You have exposed your private key. Be careful of phishing link.

It's a big bad news for all MEW user :'( :'(
myetherwallet open system only one private key.No need email or username or login password.So If you keep safe your private keys then you wallet is fully safe.I think, you was gave your private keys other fishing site.Because, without private key, impossible to stolen your mew token.

There are so many phishing websites and airdrops. Be careful next time and create a new wallet cause your isn't safe anymore

Maybe you gave to airdrops your private key or did you download token wallet or something that includes virus ? There is nothing else in my mind. Sorry for
loss of money

I'm so sad for you dude, this is very widespread case. Somebody just stole your private key. Now you cant do something, just chke your computer for viruses and spy bots, and get a new wallet and keep your private key on portable carrier next time.

I think you will be very sad. But you should be more careful and do not use Privaty Key because indeed it has a lot of problems just a little bit wrong you can lose everything. I recommend using the keystore and entering pass carefully

your account will not be hacked, unless someone else has your private key. the Private key is the most important of all so we should take care of it. Do not let others see or steal your private key.

maybe your MEW account got phising, yesterday i saw in slack chat there are many scammers that share their fake link myetherwallet, i think you login into their website, i think the best solution for the next is you need to check twice the url. you need to see twice befure you paste your private key on it

never open your wallet anywhere else. Open only on personal computers. Because usually, when ETH go up the hackers began to appear frequently. Be careful when entering the ETH address, see again, do not let the private key you enter

I am sad to hear you lost all the coins / tokens you have. maybe you are less careful in storing the private key, or when you follow a campaign, you incorrectly send the wallet address, which you enter is a private key, if my suggestion does not hurt you more carefully fill out the form to follow a campaign, before you send better read again first. then sent.

Losing is a painful thing but this is a lesson.

You should be more careful of anything suspicious for the next time.

Reinstall device and use the trusted anti virus. Keep your private key in a safe place.

your tokens don't always show on your token balance on your MEW wallet. Under your eth balance you will see a section called transaction history. Click on tokens (ethexplorer.io) and it will show your token balances.

i also have a bad experience like you my MEW hacked i lost all my tokens, many people have been hacked it could be due to virus or phishing sit

Its very disheartening bro. It happens with so many peoples my 2-3 friends lost their coins the way you lost but they made mistake by mistake filled their private key in some form instead of wallet address. One more thing always use incognito or private window to open your ethereum Wallet & don't give access to anyone to your wallet keys and my friend there is no way to get your coin back.

it happened not once in here, users who got into slack channel and being persuade by someone inside the channel. if you got into their trap then you deserve it, you know for the fact that your wallet access is important so you gotta be careful sending out passwords or any kind. money can fuel the determination of hackkers.

Sorry to hear about your losses. Did you check the token transactions in explorer? Sometimes the tokens don’t show up in MEW, you just have to load tokens. Hope everything is fine and you are not one of the phishing scam victims.

It is very possible if your computer is infected by some  virus. You should be careful and use a clean computer if you access any wallet or store any priv code on the computer. but there is nothing you can do to take your tokens back,  sorry for the loss.

I also lost my SNT Token once. And then I found out that someone hijacked my email and found out where I hid my private key. And now I always keep my private key off line

Did you expose your private key because coins cannot be stolen without that.

Most of the time, the "someone hack my account stories" are not hack at all. Majority of  stolen token is as a result of carelessness of  the user. User sometimes enter there private key on phishing website or they are careless on forums snd chat room to click dangerous, malicious link!

It may expose the private key or click any phishing sites that may lead to hack all your token. This is most advise never click any links that would scam your token. In mew there are many hacker so be careful and save your private keys.

I'm very sorry for your loss, bro, you should run an antivirus program asap to see if your system is infected with some kind of malicious program or not. Be very careful from now on!

As you mentioned, in Bitcoin you trust so if you're using another altcoin it will break your own motto,right ?

MEW is a great place for people to scam especially when new people who just joined crypto world because they still no have idea with private key etc
Also if you're getting unknown link, just stay away because it may contains malware that will steal your MEW private key / password

That's unfortunate... Reseaech before investing is key.

Oh, very sad. Your all tokens stolen in MEW. Its reason that you mentioned your key in your account. So anybody stolen your all tokens very easily.

You may be exposed to phishing, as most MEW accounts are hacked as a result of many fake website domains. But I think this is also a mistake yourself, usually because less careful when entering the website.
My suggestion is better you create a new MEW account

its all about phishing..you just enter your private key with the wrong /scam website.always checked the green URL on the left upper corner and than proceed. for now you can only checked your transaction and trace where your token has  been transferred... unfortunately you can do nothing with my ether wallet.

I am also sad to hear that. This is my biggest fear. Because it is online I always feel vulnerable to any kind of hack despite I take care many things in security concepts.

I have been compromised too. MEW is not a safe please to store tokens if you don't safeguard your assets very well. Yesterday my TIO was stolen by this account here 0x221B9BAA14568685D49C3D4BC7D68B596D685506  the said 650 TIO was mine and I can prove it. If only there is someone to investigate about stuffs like this, people could have been saved from these malicious intent. This persons account is active and have ether on it, are there any possible means to track him down?

I got scammed by fake airdrop from https://kentra.tech/kyc/  i lost my coins worth $7000, it's not a good a feeling but i guess just need to move on as I cannot do anything on what happened, the address that stole my coins is 0x0a796062214cf4fc232dd8538a19035ac79a595c , be careful with fake airdrops, it cost me a lot, lesson learned the hard way.

Once the tokens are gone, there is hardly anything that you can do about it. MEW is a strong wallet, but if someone gets your private key then no amount of security precautions can prevent the tokens from getting stolen.

very disappointing when something ours has been stolen others and we can not do anything except just surrender it, it will happen if we mew hacked and token in it was stolen so I can only hope thieves do not target our wallets besides we also have to always securing our wallet keys

Oh no, have you participated in any airdrops or bounties? maybe you just login into a fake MEW, i also experience this one, one of my friend in cebu city, philippines, just experienced lately, and that all his MEW balances were 0.00 because he just participated in an airdrop where he need to login his MEW account and put all the important info., without knowing he has been a victim of hacking account, and now he has been worried all day long, unfortunately, the money cant be recovered, because it has been transferred to another account., my advise is that not the trust anyone, you are obligue to safe keep your account.

first of all I feel sorry for you and I hope not to repeat this case to friends who are in this forum.

- Try to check back Again your Ethereum address transactions go anywhere.
- Try to remember again, anyone who knows your Ethereum address and Private key besides you, suppose your relatives or friends.

because it is not possible to move the token when it knows the ETH address without knowing its private key.

Now this is a sad news that one of our co-members was hacked with his hard earned tokens. Hope this will not happen again. Let us unite to fight this heartless hackers who seem to not having a loving family of their own. How can they give food to their family with the money they gained from stealing.

most likely someone found out your key and stole all the coins, I'm sorry, my friend also had and was sad, but he unfortunately could not return anything.

Mine also someone hacked my account and he stole all of my tokens. I dont know how he did it because i didnt give my private key to anyone. He's a good hacker because when i read some comments in his eth address there's a lot of people commented that his a good hacker and he did stole all their tokens in just one snap.

Yeah, hacking is possible
A years ago mew already got hacked
And i lost my token too
When btc reach the ATH
I lost about $1000
It's so sad :(

It's very unpleasant to lose your money.  I now use Avast Premier antivirus, it well blocks keyloggers and other viruses that are designed to steal your keys and passwords.  As an option to switch to Apple's hardware, MacOS is not subject to such things as far as I know.

Worst case scenario of people getting phished by giving away there private keys to hackers.
Be safe, keep your private keys safe, if you can , buy a hardware wallet instead like Ledger Nano S or Trezor or atleast install metamask.

unfortunately you do not have a chance to return your coins if you have stolen a secret key, hide it securely.

Yes it is . if you lost your keys or stole them all . nothing to do

we must never forget the simple rules of security . store your wallet login information only on portable devices

How they can scam you ? You give them your MEW key ? Airdrop or bounty will never request someone's key. Btw, you should use metamask. It's safer

I am not familiar with such cases, but I think that everything is possible and such a wallet is hacked.

I think you open your mew from email that have a link from mew site? because that's site was a phishing site the hacker make that to get your private key or you paste your private key to your bounty or any airdrop and more people can see you private key from spread sheet of the bounty that you apply or airdrops but my suspect is you log in your private key to the phising mew site.

I think the reason for this is because you were not cautious of disclosing your private information and key to a third party or you clicked on a phishing site thereby the hacker got access to your private key because it is with this key that you will be able to access your funds.

yes if it really happened, it is your mistake in maintaining the private key,
so for the future it should change walllet, and be more careful

I have never had my account hacked or my tokens stolen, but I know how it feels to lose money and I must say that I'm deeply sorry for that. This is the reason why it is mostly preached on this streets that we should be careful of the people we share certain information with, and be careful of the sites we visit, or the ads we allow on our browser. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

This is always a sad thing to read, and also painful. I'm sorry dear friend that you have to go through the pain of losing your funds. I would like to advise that you should be more careful in your dealings and the people you share certain info with. Also you might want to consider using a safe hardware for your account if you didn't have any.

You cannot do anything to get your tokens back to your account. Now the best way is create a new wallet and keep it safely, the old wallet key is known by other people. You cannot blame anyone too because it's your fault

I'm sorry for you bro.. I dont use MEW because of the recent phishing attacks. Hope you didnt lose so much?

I've been using mew for more than 3 years and I've never had a problem with it . you should always be careful and treat with safety carefully

I'm sorry to know that, and I know what you feel because I've also experienced it. I am confused as to whether it is a MEW system that does not guarantee security, or my own fault. but someone suggested me not to open MEW via smartphone because it's easy to hack.

I am sorry to say but I think your wallet has been hacked due to private key or phishing scam. I would suggest you to please move forward and take extra care in future. May be you can use hardware wallet in future.

There were cases, but it's one in a million. Very rare, but hackers have not been canceled. But still this wallet is safe for most of the users.

You need to secure your property from sharing your computer, so add metamask to protect your ETH wallet.

I think your MEW wallet is hacked or your private key is stolen by someone. So i suggest you to use hardware wallet to safeguard your coins because your MEW wallet is not safe any more.

There is definitely a key to knowing your wallet. actually been very secure mew technology in my opinion, all depends how we store the key wallet with good, then our assets will be maintained securely.

Once your tokens are transferred, there's nothing you can do except if you know who did this. Next time keep your private keys safe and do no use only one MEW or wallet. Spread your tokens too as you spread your investments to spread the risk of getting them lost or stolen.

My friends we're also hacked these past few weeks from MEW.
We all think that their personal computer has been compromised and were infected by sneaky malwares that seems the only reason how hackers stole their possession. I humbly suggest that if you do once again create a wallet account make sure to avoid entering suspicious websites, porn sites and also beware of phishing sites.  
Hackers and scammer will do everything they can to steal from others. regardless of what's inside your wallet. Im sorry about what happen to you but you can't do anything about it except view your transaction history from MEW. You'll only see where your tokens been transfered.

I agree. It is best to buy a laptop or computer, which you will specifically deal with cryptocurrencies and nothing else, because the viruses on the Internet now very much. And just don't do stupid things that you'll regret.

You probably kept the secret key wallet on the computer, and this is absolutely impossible to do. The key should be kept on a flash drive and then this wallet will be safe

Recently, I see the breaking of wallets often happens, as they do, is a mystery to me, but I think you need to write to the administration, maybe it will somehow help you.

I don't think they are using very complicated methods.

Just a phishing page or dns hack like etherdelta would be making hackers rich.

I think your MEW wallet is hacked or your private key is stolen. I think hardware wallet is the safest way to protect your coins from hacker. For me, Trezor hardware is the best hardware wallet to keep your coins safe. Always remember that don't click any suspicious link that has been sent to you, shared on any social media sites.

So sorry to hear this. I hope you are in a better place now. I am sure someone got hold of your private keys and was able to log into your mew account and took your valuable tokens. To avoid re occurrence kindly keep away your private keys from the public eyes, don't store them online either, rather get a note pad and write all your passwords and private keys in it and keep in a safe place.

You have to be very careful with your secret keys. Yes, and scammers have now become more sophisticated. So take care of yourself and your wallets.

Sorry for you, but not yourself you are experiencing such a situation. I still advise new users to use wallets like metamask, imtoken .. or better wallet types like ledge ..

I also became a victim of scammers once, having connected my purse to the decentralized exchange Etherdelta, all my tokens were stolen from me. It turned out that it was a phishing site. Now I always check the availability of the certificate on the sites.

Do not put your private key in anywhere ,and you should know only this and hopefully could not tell it in anybody, because now hacking is everywhere and you cant know if there is coming up to you.

Underneath your exchange balacne is a segment called exchange history, check ETHexplorer.io. Your tokens will appear there in the event that they are not stolen. At times they don't appear in your wallet however you can simply check ETHexplorer to discover them. Good fortunes, trust they weren't stolen.

I think you should register neither the private key, nor the password, nor the seed on computer ... All on paper!

Maybe your private key was stolen or you fell for scams from people that request for your private key..... Sorry for your loss

If you cracked your wallet and stole all your tokens, it means that you did not carefully monitor the security of your access key. You should think about who could have access to it and where you used it recently.

And now there is an opportunity to lose your money, you can only secure yourself by having several computers, and the ability to isolate work with your wallets from other sites and applications. In fact, there is always a chance to lose your money and it is necessary to behave very carefully in the Internet.

It's very strange and sad to realize that there have been similar cases before but I think that the vulnerability can only be in your mindfulness, in the future it seems to me that you will need to tell the local version of MEW.

nobody can steal your tokens unless you share or give your pkey to a wrong people or you are a victim of a malware infected site or phishing site :)

Hi my friend, I'm sorry about your problem. I guess you have use the private key or key stone to log in new. It is not safe, and think next time you should use the meta mask is better.

Oh That’s sad that all of your tokens in MEW is stolen but don’t feel so panic, down, afraid and depressed about this let think this as a challenges you must survive to be successful someday.

That's horrible news.  Someone gained access to your private keys either digitally or physically.  Lock everything down, wipe the computer and get back to grinding and make up the lost.  This is one of those life tests.  Pass it and down the road you will be rewarded. 

I am truly sorry for you, it is very unpleasant . We must not forget the simple rules of security . And we need to keep our data safe.

unfortunately too often I see the news that someone hacked and stole all the funds . you have to be careful

maybe it includes phishing so someone can access private key. we must clean the computer as one of the initial action, so that in the future can be avoided from theft that has ever been experienced.

I've had this and fortunately I just had a few tokens at that time, after that I made a new wallet and will be careful when storing private key and not giving to anyone, because the cause of hacked our wallet is we are fooled by phishing links that require to give our private key and foolishly we give it. it is the cause of my wallet being hacked. ;D

You should be careful especially our ETH address, private key and passwords. We all know scammers and hackers are everywhere so we just be alert . We will not allow them also be careful.

Without the private keys no one can stole any of your coin.
You must secure your private keys offline.

I'm afraid to upset you, but you won't return the stolen goods. Perhaps you have entered a private key, not on the official website, but most likely it was the scammers who you gave it to yourself.

That's for sure. MEV is very difficult to crack. It is very unlikely that someone will pick code because of several thousand. Most likely you are to blame. Keep the addresses in a separate file from the password file

in any case, you need to enter the private key manually, And check the balance only through the etherscan. At the same time, enter the site of the etherium wallet only with the help of the right link, which should have been in your browser's bookmarks for a long time.

I would rather use Metamask to be safe. As for making sure that my private key will not be compromised, I always double check the URL of the website before entering anything. I hate to say this, but there is nothing we can do once someone has the private key. It cannot be changed. Move on, learn your lesson.

Very sorry to hear about your loss.  Time to get a new address.  Makes sure you reformat your computer if your unsure where the leak in security is.  Also make sure you don't go to phishing sites.  Good luck!

I think someone hacked your Mew Private key.Private key is most important.If anyone know your mew private key, he can do anytime what he wish.he can transfer all your tokens.Sorry to say create another account and save your private key in safe place

mew is just a way to access to your tokens on the ethereum blockchain and if you are hacked then there are chances that you have entered your private key into a pishing site always check url twice before entering any senstive information

you need to be very careful, the best option is to buy a separate computer or laptop and use the wallet only with it

How did you manage your private key? How many Ethereum wallet do you have there? Looks like your wallet has compromised you should buy hardware wallet with you.
If you have API keys you should ignore that as soon as possible.

To know it's a phising site is require some intelligence. It's like the minimal knowledge needed by people to surf the internet. But now, many people who forced themselves to plunge into the internet without the slightest knowledge in the field for the sake of participating in bounty campaign and this is what happening then. Nothing can be do after got hacked, just say good bye to your token.

Have you watched the last transactions? Perhaps this is a service issue that you use to check your wallet balance.

extremely baffling when something our own has been stolen others and we can not do anything with the exception of simply surrender it, it will happen on the off chance that we mew hacked and token in it was stolen so I can dare to dream cheats don't focus on our wallets other than we additionally need to continually anchoring our wallet keys

I'm so tragic for you fella, this is exceptionally boundless case. Some person just stole your private key. Presently you cannot accomplish something, just chke your PC for infections and spy bots, and get another wallet and keep your private key on compact bearer next time.

No, I didn't, but it's only possible because of the owner's negligence, or a massive hacker attack.

Everyone should be very careful with his private key and dont give it anyone. Also please, be careful with airdrops, dont paste your private keys on different sites. Bookmark MEW site and use just this link. It does not give 100% guarantee, but it is first steps to stay safe.

Most likely your MyEtherWallet account was hacked since you provided your data on some phishing site. Next time, be more attentive and check everything 2-3 times before entering the wallet.

I am also a victim of hacking where my eth balance is gone. But, the hacker did not take my token. He only took my eth. There is a hash tx. See the hacker addy. Then, report to mew. Before the report, look for facts about your wallet before being hacked and after being hacked.

Now a lot who steal the tokens in my chat stolen about 5 people this week , don't know how it manages them

Your computer or notebook must also be in privacy, not to fall into the hands of other people or families.
Because all of that concerns your money.

Many say, "in business it does not look at family or associates"

Sad to think that all of your tokens in MEW are in stolen but don’t feel upset and depressed about this,
just move eon and let this a lesson that you must learned to be able to be a better version of yourself.

I was afraid the same thing happened to me, but later found them by looking on etherscan.io. When I saw them there my anxiety settled and I was able to think more rationally. Eventually I solved my problem by adding the Token's origin address again. Then they magically reappeared. Be careful out there.

Yes ive been hacked so many times. It is not safe right now. Be very careful in handling your private keys, and never store it in net. Also avoid suspicious or phishing sites. Hackers can easily store your tokens.

Most of the reason why a MEW wallet has been hacked is because someone knew your private key. If you want to avoid being hacked then use metamask mask.

Yes, it's a shame that they stole the tokens. But do not be offended and stay soon to change everything. It is necessary to endure and put a better defense. For a long time do not leave your wallet open, or these hackers will quickly climb into your wallet.

I think you enter in phishing site or wrong exchange site that need to enter your information like private key, password or utc file. If you have important token in your wallet and have potential in the future, I suggest transfer your token in new wallet.

why can it happen if you have told your wallet key to someone ..
is there a great hacker who can break into your wallet ...
now you have to make your wallet.

hacking has happened a lot, not only do you experience it, usually happens because you go to a phishing site. if that has happened immediately move all your assets to the new wallet. we must be careful when opening the mew address,

I am concerned about what you experience and all the tokens you have have been taken by the hacker and nothing can be done, you must forget that because tokens will never return to your wallet

If your wallet is hacked and stolen all your money, then you have unfortunately do not do anything, it's certainly a shame, but nothing will be done. Create a new wallet and keep the secret key better.

Check the transaction dates and see if you can link that to your device being left somewhere public or installing some new software. In any case... it is lost.

sorry brother. it seems you are now victim of circumstances. it is very unlikely you get back your token but you can check the transaction hash to see the address your token has gone to. probably you can start by posting the details here maybe someone might help. however as you must read several time here or outside bitcointalk that it is not safe to keep information about your wallet on mails or online storage platforms and always check that your are surely visiting the right MEW. maybe you enter your address info on phishing site.

I do not like seeing post like this because anytime I see this it really touched me seriously.
Because how would someone work hard to earn lots of tokens and someone would just steal everything away just like that. It's really sad to see this situation in our community.

That is why you have to be very careful, keep your computer safe, run antivirus often and what is most important don't get phished. Don't click on links received in email, bookmark real link and click only that one.
Scammers change one or two characters and sometimes is hard to notice difference between real site and phishing site.

It's really painful to going through issues of hacked wallet, am very sorry for your loss. But for your tokens to be hacked, someone else had access to your private keys. Maybe you unintentionally used it on a phishing website or you gave authentication to an app which took advantage of your novelty.

The only possible way is that someone stole your private keys. :-X

And this most likely happened through a phishing site.

And maybe he clicked on some google adveertisement and visited phishing site. That is why google blocked all crypto adveertisements to protect people...
And this most likely happened through a phishing site.

most likely, instead of a wallet private key somewhere inserted, without a private key nothing can steal. or your computer was hacked, for such cases you need to use firewalls and a good antivirus

I have never heard that someone could recover their coins if they were stolen. Here it remains only to accept. And what conclusion? you need to be more careful when you visit sites, and check their validity. And in any case, do not store on your computer a secret key from your wallet.

I heard this in the chat in Telegram, that the person hacked the wallet and took two Bitcoin because of the negligence of the owner of the wallet. I think it's possible to break into the wallet if the person makes a mistake.

Maybe others see or stole your private key or maybe your account got phising thats why they lead to hack all your token.. Private key is the most important..Be careful when entering your ETH address and try to keep your private key off line..

You must have entered your private keys in a phishing site. Many hackers nowadays created a lot of phishing sites for them to collect coins from careless users and holders. You should be careful as for now since there is no way to get your coins back from those who stole it.

Very sad situation for you, I'm so sorry. The worst thing is that you can't do anything, just start with a new wallet. Buy ledger nano, it costs pretty much, but worth buying and you never will go through this again.

It’s shocking. I always thought that MEW is a safe and convenient wallet. Are you sure you haven’t been stolen by phishing website? If MEW has such a loophole, this is really terrible.

Not at all because this is just a technology which it has a lot of hackers to attempt so better to have a lot of wallet to be well secured your tokens.

I'm sorry for you, my friends also hacked wallets , I don't even know how they do it, on the account of phishing always check

I also became a victim of scammers once, having connected my purse to the decentralized exchange Etherdelta, all my tokens were stolen from me. It turned out that it was a phishing site. Now I always check the availability of the certificate on the sites.

I have never had my record hacked or my tokens stolen, however I know how it feels to lose cash and I should state that I'm profoundly sad for that. This is the motivation behind why it is for the most part lectured on this boulevards that we ought to be cautious of the general population we share certain data with, and be watchful of the locales we visit, or the advertisements we permit on our program. Once more, I'm sad for your misfortune.

maybe you are not careful in storing the Pv you have. so that other people know and steal your assets.
or you are exposed to a phishing site.
you have to be careful for another time

I am additionally a casualty of hacking where my eth adjust is gone. Be that as it may, the programmer did not take my token. He just took my eth. There is a hash tx. See the programmer addy. At that point, answer to mew. Prior to the report, search for realities about your wallet before being hacked and subsequent to being hacked.

Maybe you have revealed your private key or your computer has virut and it steal your data. Recently, some Airdrops sent the requestment to receive their token and require to put your key. This may be the reason

It seems that you have bad luck. Everything is gone and can't return. You can see it via tx. maybe you've made a mistake that made everything hacked, maybe you entered a phishing website. Because there are many phishing websites now.

there is nothing you can do to retrieve your tokens that have been stolen. I think hacking can occur due to your negligence, so usually many cases occur because of it. or maybe from phishing mode. so there is nothing more you can do but create a new address for your wallet

You reduce the log in your wallet and use metamats for security

I understand how you feel at this point , I also lost all my altcoins . I went to a phishing site.

Have you tried any trading or security measures on the low stock market before this event happened? I think that you have the possibility to live in two different ways. The first way, as anyone can guess, will be through viruses found on the computer. Your information may have been compromised by malware and your computer, and someone else may have accessed your account in accordance with this information. The second way could be fake exchange services, which are based on low or completely fraudulent security. Since you are logging in using this application with a private key, you may have access to your account by registering your login information. Today, it is possible to encounter such situations especially on the internet. That's why we need to check the web sites we have entered, the files we downloaded and the web addresses we use. It is also useful to check the address to be sent several times when sending money.

It's a huddled dangerous interest exemplifying each MEW purchaser. myetherwallet spread dead diffuse course nevertheless single crotch better. No condition netmail or username or login catchword. So If you conserve asylum your crotch chiefs so you wallet is full safe. I believe, you was gave your crotch chiefs over-the-counter searching speckle. Because, without crotch key, unacceptable to stolen your mew token.

though the post is old i still hope you found a way to get your money back, mate! but i thought it was impossible to return whatever was stolen, or there are some new systems?

Yes. Such cases there is. And one such major occasion was quite recently when I was made a substitution of DNS servers, and people who came to MyEtherWallet, were transported to a fraudulent phishing site. On that day, everyone was advised not to go into your wallet. As a result, Ethereum and tokens were stolen for a total of $15 million dollars.

I regret you faced this situation, but you can't do something about it, just take care about your privacy in order to prevent these situations in future.
I also lost tokens 2 times, it seems to me that I entered my private key on DEX exchange fishing site

try checking in contact support, there you can ask questions about coins or tokens that are stolen, and how to restore them.

good luck

I advise you to buy nano s wallet or trezor. because for now it is actually the best to save coins is the second wallet. proven security. it does cost a little,but that is more important than losing all our assets

No, the support cannot do something about it. Once your coins are stolen, then that's it. You cannot take it back anymore. Let this be a lesson for every one to always be careful when accessing that sites because there is a high possibility that OP has access a site and was phished that's why his coins are stolen. Just bookmark the sites you are always using and if possible do not search it in google because many phishing sites are advertised there. Do not click any e-mails from MEW because in the first place, you didn't give your e-mail when you created the wallet.

the possible cause of this case is that your private is shared via phishing sites. You will be able to find the hacker address but know the identity of the owner, so that is not possible. This kind of situation is common among people who do not actually take strict security or security measures on their own private keys.

We must be careful. Most often, scammers use phishing sites.

Be careful where you are using your private key. Except for linking my MEW to exchangers, I don't use it anywhere else. There's so much hacking going on through emails and telegram. Don't be fooled by email messages saying your airdrop token is ready for claim even though you actually didn't registered to something like that and tells you to enter your private key so as to prove you are human and not  a robot.

Losing token in personal MEW wallet is your personal faults. There is no way to blame or restore or get it back.
To OP, keep it as a lesson, from now you should learn how to protect your wallet.

It's quite painful going through this process. Getting hacked is worst when you can't fathom how the hacker got access to your private keys. You just need to be more careful about where you input your private data and be very careful of the applications you download.

constantly there are reports about the hacking of wallets and all the time saying that we have to be more careful and not to give their keys - that wouldn't steal your coins.

That is only possible if your private key is not secured and got stolen eventually and that should be your personal fault. Hackers are everywhere like Lions in the wilderness, so one needs to be more careful.

Most likely you have previously visited MEW from a dummy site that recorded your private key. And the scammers took advantage of this case.
Be careful when clicking on the proposed links to MEW.

Unfortunately, with the development of information security, hackers also develop. But the system always goes ahead and the chance of hacking is minimal.

So the scammers are not asleep, in General, as in any field, you need to try to understand and what you do, do not matter what, then you will have more understanding about the processes taking place,and awake to understand how the scrotum, and awake more secure than ordinary people

I remember last year when I was new in cryptocurrency,I got my last money worth $200 still Len by an unknown person. I mistakenly copied my private key and filled some form with it and that was all.

Unfortunately, recently, MEW wallets are often hacked and tokens are being taken away. One of the reasons is when you go to a phishing site and there you leave your data from your wallet. Another reason is when you indicated somewhere or your password from the wallet or private key. Another reason is the virus on your PC. The reasons are different, so try to work more carefully.

They are all around, every scammer is always there, even your files are all protected, they can hack all of that, fortunately, I haven't yet experience that, but I feel sorry for those who been experienced that. So better have a back up plan or expect the unexpected.

The cryptocurrency market is attractive not only for ordinary people, but also for hackers, unfortunately. You should be careful to protect your data with a good password, at least.

I've heard of cases like this, but I think it's a duck. With defenses like this, hacking is impossible.

And what can be done in this case? We need to work on our own safety more carefully. I always ignore messages that come to my e-mail and never download new programs from unverified sources. Private keys are stored in a Metamask, and I almost never log in to the MyEtherWallet. I don't feel safe, but it's better than nothing.

in any case, every user of the purse ether itself determines the degree of protection of his coins. I mean that your safety will depend on your actions.

Your case is such a pathetic one...you can actually check the recent transactions on your account to know the account where your funds are transferred to. But I doubt the possibility of recovering them.

Exposing your private key on the web is the reason for this hack. Even sending your private key acroos email is very risky as sniffers can be used to capture your key and this is used against you. Saving as draft is better. Even when mining on mew, I would advice to use other means to import your wallet apart from the private keys. A lot can go wrong.

I am very sorry to hear that, are you sure your private key is safe? and no one else knows it? because usually the person who is closest and you don't think is the culprit, other than that don't carelessly copy paste your private key, you have to be careful of phising sites

Thefts are met very often here unfortunately but I want to make yourself checking your moves with money because it can be the reason of such situation too.

The bad boys at work there, nothing else has happened to you than you are been hacked, different types of stories about being hacked online wallet now to me is due to the carelessness of the owner to such wallet. Because people are all about making money which makes them not to be vigilant about what they click on, some are email message being used by those hackers and we intend not to be careful or thinking can this be true, what worries me most is that most of this act are done by the wallet owner by filling their wallet access themselves.

Have you tried to scan your wallet address on the block explorer?
I assuming that someone had access to your private keys and decided to hack all your tokens.
I know the feeling, it happened to me weeks back but with different wallet and not MEW.
I hardly read about my ether wallet hacks, how can it be possible. I have been using it for sometime now and haven't experienced such scenes.
View your account on etherscan to have a clue of where your coins might have went to.

     The following things work for me:

• very complicated account password
• two-factor authentication for email
• use only metamask
• bookmark all important sites

Your tokens are stolen in your MEW maybe because some other people have your private key and they decided to get your tokens or transfer them into their own wallets. If you signed in it into some exchanges site/s, maybe the site you had signed in recently is pished or simply a scam crypto exchange site/s. Just be careful next time on handling your wallet so that your funds cannot be stolen.

Yeah, actually we can't blame the person who hacked our coins in our wallet completely. Before we blame them, we should first self-introspect whether we have implemented all security procedures properly. Have we ensured our security that is connected with our myetherwallet, have we implemented all security procedures in our wallets. Only when we have self-introspection and it turns out we have run security procedures properly then we must accept that it is not our fortune. But if it turns out we experience carelessness in security procedures then we must be careful and learn from these events.

My wallet was hacked, but where have all my tokens gone? --> You can check your Tx hash to see your all token history has been moved to a different wallet address
I am not sure what to do! please advice folks. --> If you are logging in the MEW wallet using a private key, then stop immediately because this login is very easy to hack, you should pass the login using metamask or keystore to be safer.

The bad news is that you'll not return your tokens back. Yes, you can track which account they are sent to, but this will not give you anything. Your account can only be accessed through a private key or keystore file, and hackers had it. How? You may have entered key on the phishing site.

Hacking myetherwallet is possible if you have logged in to a website yet you use the same username and password with your MEW and this is easier to hack by the hacker since you used yhe same username and password, so be careful with the email sent to your inbox and that is a phising site.

This is not a special case. There have been cases of MEW hacking. There are several possibilities. It could be that your private keys were accessed by other people. Perhaps when you entered through some phishing sites, or through some unreliable DEX, or perhaps when you saved them at the wrong place. Or perhaps you did send them somewhere. Start by looking at your past transactions. The blockchain does not lie. Try to trace where your coins went.

And please, be extra careful the next time around. I hate and feel sad reading stuff like this.

There can be two ways for this tragedy if you really not giving to access your computer or lap.
1. you have leaked your pvt key
2. you have entered the pvt key to a fake MEW site.

project your pvt key safely and always check whether you are on the actual MEW site. better to bookmark it or check carefully whenever you use the MEW.

In 99% of cases, it is only the guilt of user which uses myetherwallet, because myetherwallet is the safest platform and it is very difficult to hack it.

Of course, it is the main reason. The safest way of holding private key is ledger or trezor wallet, or we can just hold it on USB flash card and use it only when we need to work with MEW.

There are so many phishing website now, you need to be more careful in opening MEW wallet.
there are some site who spelled almost the same as the legit one.
make sure to book mark the website to avoid this fake sites.
tokens can be track on your account they have records there of transferring out tokens.

That is very painful when the token has been moved to someone else's wallet. It happened also to me, the $ 500 token disappeared from my MEW wallet.
I can't do anything with the loss of tokens, except to make a new wallet ...

This kind of situation is common among people who do not actually take strict security or security measures on their own private keys. You will be able to find the address of the hacker but know the identity of the owner, so that is not possible. You can really check where your coins go or transact. the possible cause of this case is that your private is shared via a phishing site.

It already happens with many people and I was also a victim of hacking. Always bookmarked MEW secured link and never click any link that asked you to log in your account with your key as that is always a phishing link to get your credentials. Hardware is the best option to fully secure your coins.

There are ways to confirm if your wallet was truly hacked. You can confirm the transaction of etherscan and see if those tokens were transferred. There are times that we might have malware attack on our system or any device we use. If this happens the tokens in your wallet are likely to be affected. So, if there is no history of transaction, you then have to clean your device of any malware, because most times, what we see as cases of hack are not, but mere disruption of system.

Have you ever visited a market exchange site before, and entered your private key? it could be that the market exchange site that you are visiting is phishing. just try to contact support, and ask how to restore the token that has been stolen.

if your wallet is hacked, of course all the tokens you have are in the hacker's wallet, maybe you have joined an airdrop that has a phishing site so that your wallet is hacked, there's nothing you can do right now, just forget about it and re-gather from scratch

How can that happen if you don't hand over a private key to someone else it's impossible?

The action on where your coin goes does not matter anymore because there will no other way for you to retrieve it. I think you entered one of those phishing sites and they were able to hack your private key. This is a clear example that no matter how careful you are if hackers wants to login to your wallet, they can do that. I am sure you are very careful in accessing your wallet but this stuff really happens and there is nothing we can do about it. Sad.

You may have been the victim of a phishing attack, malware, remote-access hack (e.g. via Teamviewer), or something similar. I cannot easily tell you how this could have happened without knowing what you do. Unfortunately, once a transaction is on the blockchain, it's final.

In order to prevent this from happening in the future please:

- Bookmark https://www.myetherwallet.com/ and only access the site via your own bookmark.
- Get a Ledger or Trezor -or- create a new, secure wallet & back it up offline.
- Move all funds from all accounts you have to this new, secure account as soon as possible.

In order to prevent this from happening in the future please:

- Send us the URL(s) you accessed, or Ethereum-related applications you may have downloaded.
- Send us any malicious websites or applications you visited or downloaded. We send takedown requests and warn others.
- Post a comment on all the addresses that your ETH was moved to on https://etherscan.io/ saying that this account robbed you. This will help others know that this person is a thief in the future.


That is some advice given from MyEtherWallet.com
Hopefully this can be a learning for all of us, especially yourself as a victim.

There is nothing to do you must know that in this market once you lose your coins then everything is over, this is the main reason of why people recommend over and over again to take the security of your coins as your main priority, now the only thing you can do is to try to discover how the hacker did this so you can avoid that happening to you in the future.

Oh sorry to hear about that, but the reason behind your token being stolen from MEW might have come from your own carelessness either when you mistakenly inserted your private key to a phising link, or you have once disclosed your key to someone else. But to avoid such next time please do not google search mew link and do not disclose your private key to anyone and please it is also safe to use metamask so get metamask on any of your browser extension.

Mostly, this is as a result of close friends. So investigate the matter with the people around you. Secondly, if you are someone who saves private keys together with wallet addresses, then it might be that you mistakenly copied the private key and sent for payment of some tokens. You may have signed in to a phishing site and your details stolen. These may be the main reasons why your account will get hacked.s

It has been with many people even before and in the present, every day someone is a victim of such hacking. To protect your MEW, never click on any link that asks you to log in to your account and never use your private key to login your account as it always has a phishing link to get your credentials. The only and best option to fully secure the coins is the hardware wallet.

In my opinion, it is impossible for a hacker to transfer cryptocurrency by cracking the private key. More likely, your security protection is not in place during the use of the computer. Maybe your computer is being hacked by a Trojan or a hacker. Not because of the problem with MEW wallet.

In today's world, I would argue with people who talk about the impossible. I recommend you to contact the developer and protect yourself.

This is important, even while hackers may be responsible for the loss of coins there is the possibility that someone close to you stole those coins, so you must an effort to try to keep a low profile when you are gathering coins because in the future once those coins get very valuable criminals will be looking for targets to steal those coins from you.

Personally, I have no how this is possible ? OK No Problem ! In our time is not safe nor single portal in the Internet ! Hack everything from mail to Bank cards!

We know that everything happen for a reason, and everything is gone eventually and can't return. You can see it via tx. Maybe you've made a mistake that made everything hacked, or maybe accidentally you entered a phishing site. Because there are many phishing websites now. But dont stop here, just keep it up that good work mate. I know it's not easy but we know that it's worth it.

It is hard to believe because I trust MEW so much and I have never had thefts or another similar problems. I think that the guilt is on yourself of the larger part.

I have seen a lot of people complain about the same thing on this platform, and it is always heartbreaking to see someone get their account hacked, and have their coins stolen. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I wish I could tell you that there was a way you could get your coins back, but I'm not sure of that. Please be more careful with your dealings, and I really hope that this doesn't happen again. Not to you, or anyone else.

Myetherwallet wallet uses several types of authorization to login. The most popular of which is the entrance with a private key, in order to enter you need to use several characters, arranged in a unique sequence. To get this code, scammers often use fake sites very similar to MyEtherWallet in the domain name of which one or more letters are replaced, and users, not seeing the difference, show the private key to the scammers, who in turn get full control.

These happen in every users got hacked their tokens in mew. It is very important to keep safe our coins in the wallet. Never click any link that may hack your all coins, untrusted website or phishing link which causes to stole your coins. I had my all coins in my mew and it were all safe.

I think you got yourself phished. Your private key was accesed when you entered it on the phishing site. It is sad to know when someone lost their coins. Those lowly scammers will get punished someday. I'm sure they will. Karma strikes in different ways. Their time will come.

I have said it many times that mew wallet is what people complain about most time. Because most people using it will have to go to the web page each time they want to do a simple thing. Try and start using imtoken I think it is much safer compare to mew

Wow this hacker are not good people I don't just know why people can't work for themselves rather than stealing from others the exchange most be vigilante enough in other to keep there customers safe

Yes, unfortunately, Ethereum-wallet MyEtherWallet hacked, it was in April, 2018, namely, the threat of hackers have attacked DNS-servers, they were simply replaced in order to redirect users to a phishing site.

Your PC or scratch pad should likewise be in protection, not to fall under the control of other individuals or families. Since the majority of that worries your cash. You should remember that in internet there is no guarantee of safety you should be alert at all times.

Sorry for your loss. I honestly cannot imagine what it would feel like to lose a coin. I think you should have a back up and everyday acoount. Lastly, do not fill airdrops asking for verification as thats a coy to steal your coins.

A very harsh but very important lesson you leraned in the most hardest way. I feel sorry but probably you hit a phishing link. Thats why hardware wallets are handy.

you most likely got to the site of scammers who stole your password and brought all your coins, be careful next time

Always be careful in some links that you click because it's possible that because of that links they can steal your private key that's why they hacked your wallet. There's so many phishing sites and links now so always be careful.

whether you are really hacked or just a constraint on your laptop so that when you open it mew, you are not fully loading so that the stored token you have is not there. at that moment I felt whether Mew I had been hacked against irresponsible people but I tried it in my own way. I deleted my mew from Google Chrome and I downloaded it again and again, with the note I still hold the private key. After that I did it again add a token and it turns out all my tokens are still there.

Yes ive been hacked several times, i feel devastated too. I now used metamask in mew to have more security and to prevent being hacked.

If you are using myetherwallet it is not recommended for you to use your private keys directly on the website and the same can be said for your parity phrase because once they get compromised, you can loose your tokens.
It is better to use meta mask web extension to prevent hacks and phsing scams.

Maybe you just logon into a phishing site, a lot of phishing site nowadays in order to steal peoples money, so lets be more careful and cautious everything we click in the internet.

Start to move on and be more careful next time. Making money is easy if you have strategy, take extra control my friend.

I have a friend stolen wallet just like you. The reason is that he has access to a spoofed address and when he receives the mail and accesses that link. He did not realize * .com and * .co, so he accidentally revealed his wallet.

Many people do not take the security of their coins as seriously as they should, you just need to look at the early days of bitcoin and you will see many people that lost their private keys and lost access to their wallets and lost hundreds of bitcoins, people like that should be really sorry of what they did because if they had access to those coins they will be millionaires.

I've never hacked those wallets, and I don't know how that's possible. But if break - means as the perhaps.

I feel sorry about you but what you can do now. I have also heard about this hacking activity from my friend, when his account was also hacked. But afterwards he use Trezor hardware wallet to give more security to his myetherwallet account. Here you also must take precautions and remember that always open your account in Incognito window, never click on suspicious links and before opening any site URL always double cross check & then open it. And always remember to use hardware wallet for strongest security. In this way you will always be in safe side.

I am sorry for your loss mate. I know its hard, I myself was stolen months ago. But now I always take precautions and safety measures when dealing crypto investments

The main reason of why people always got hacked when using MEW is the fact that they  always use direct private key log in to access their address while it's really dangerous and most of the phishing site trying to lure people that use private key to login to just give away their credentials data, Im always confused why people are trying to expose themselves into such overwhelming risk

This is happening continuously, even I lost 11K USD by MEW hacking. A few months ago, I posted details here, and everyone suggested me to buy a hardware wallet, Now I have a Nano Ledger S hardware wallet and I am working hard to earn back! So, whatever happened, You should move out and continue your works. I suggest you buy a hardware wallet without any delay, within 1 week you will get your wallet on hands. Good Luck

I guess it's either someone has your private key beside yourself or perhaps you had click or open a link that is phishing. Be very careful with the links and/or the websites you are visiting as some are done intentionally to get your account information. Stop using your old wallet at create a new one.

That's so weird, just you did go the wrong address, try to bookmark the link address on the taskbar, do not find it on google.

While the advice that you're giving is not bad that is not enough, many people are using very insecure operating systems like Windows, and as we know there are probably hundreds of ways to get your coins if you are using an insecure machine, so even if it can be troublesome for a lot of people they need to start to use an operating system like the Linux to avoid this.

It really felt devastated when you know that you've been hacked and nothing to do with it. Sorry for that being happened, I also experienced to be hacked in MEW account and I felt the same though only valued coin had gone from it. I suspected as that it happened because of airdrop. I tried joining some of that and turned this way. Maybe it is good to apply more security on the account.

You can track where your funds go in the etherscan, but I don't think it will be possible for you to recover your lost funds. You may be a victim of a phishing attack. Make sure to make a comment on the ethereum address that stole your account for it to be flagged. I felt bad for you, sorry. Next time, better strive hard to ensure that your credentials are stored safe.

You can check where the tokens you have come out because each token that comes out will have a history in the transaction, you have to remember again whether you ever accidentally said or wrote private keys that you have, because they can take tokens if they have private keys

I did not encounter this problem with MEW before but it is likely that mew is hacked so far many users can testify to it. Now that I was information that MEW is not safe I will not make us of it.

See the transaction in etherscan first, if you see the token entered into another wallet then you can browse it all with etherscan.
If your token is not yet in MEW then you can press the "add token" button because MEW often interrupts the network.

if it has happened that you can only ignore, just be careful not to repeat the same event. You must be careful in maintaining Pv or information about the wallet. buying wallet hardware is also an alternative to keep your assets safe.

i am very sorry for your loss. :'( Guys please we should be careful about the MEW platform and ensure that you are using the right URL. After creating a MEW account please import the private key into IMTOKEN or TRUST wallets. this is safer because there are so many hackers on the MEW platform

do not be logging into myetherwallet (MEW) again.. it is very risky because hackers are everywhere that wants to get access to your wallet and move out all you potential tokens, once its been hacked, there is no way out because they now control it through your private key

I am sorry for your loss. Once it has lost, the tokens will never come back nor can be retrieved. my advise, never open in MEW just to view your tokens. there are sites out there solely for viewing wallets only like ethplorer.com only open in MEW when doing transactions and make sure to bookmarked your previously open MEW page. that is needed to avoid phishing sites.

I have the same experience. I had to move out rest of my tokens and tell bounty managers to send my previous reward to new address.
I hate those scammers stealing tokens.

whether you input private key in some website you visited before??
track tx transaction in etherscan, or search address received your token in google, if you luck you can get information address on this forum.

never input your private in not trusted website

MEW is somehow not save when it comes to phishing that is why is more important to use Metamask to protect your wallet as the boys are seriously working day and night to find solution to all site by phishing and once you fall victim then bye gone are your tokens.

I am very sad to hear this, because it must be very painful, but there is not much to do, because it is impossible to get it back, but you can still track it down from your tokens transaction via etherscan

I am really sorry for your loss mate. I lost also 5k dollar value of token in one hacking issue 5 months ago. Really sorry for that. I cant understand how these guys take your private key.
Sorry bro .

 You need to plug your public address into a block explorer and see if there were any outgoing transactions.  It's possible that someone was able to access your remote keys.  Once they are compromised you WILL lose your coins.  It's very important that you maintain security on your keys at all times and never give them out to anyone.  Even if you have excellent anti-virus it's possible to have your keys stolen.  My TeamViewer credentials were compromised once and they were able to log in to one of my computers and get my Bitcoin wallet.  Luckily it was encrypted.  It also had no coins in it, but I learned a very valuable lesson.

You should keep your private key as safe as possible. Do not entrust it to anyone! Not even your mother! It is not bad to doubt everyone especially when it comes to your money or investments.

Never click on suspicious sites or links sent to your email. This is the most common way of phishing. I just can't see why many still fall for this! If a link was sent to you and it is to direct you to your wallet address, don't fall for that. It's an obvious phishing attempt. Go directly to the main site. This is the safest access.

I am concerned about hear that, What happen?? maybe you can tell us what you do before your token gone?? About 1 week ago i read thread about that, and most of them before get stole he install plugin, aftet that he get hacked. No one can help, dont give up start again, make that's experience to be more careful in the future

The easiest advice. Buy a ledger. and use the wallet is not in the browser, and download yourself a desktop wallet!

I don't want to believe that this is true, because I have been using MEW wallet all the time. I have never encountered any problems during the process. Maybe you went to a phishing website, it has stolen your private key.

Today there are too many thefts in crypto, it means that crypto must be proteted with more modern way because if it will be growing people will move out of this I am sure.

MEW is not exception at all and it is not surprising. I have lost a lot of money there too but I think that you must have few wallets to make your money saved.

Unfortunately , someone stole your private key. It is important to understand that this is not a MEW problem, but only your personal negligence in relation to storing passwords and maintaining computer security and using the Internet. It’s very easy for a hacker to steal your passwords from the browser’s cache if you click on a phishing link. Therefore, I recommend to use a separate device to access the wallet, which is used only for these purposes.

Your own situation is actually this type of horrible it is possible to examine the actual current dealings in your accounts to understand the actual accounts exactly where your own money tend to be used in.

There are a lot of thefts but you can't single it out to just crypto.   Theft is rampant in every sector: Bank Fraud, Religious cult schemes, forgery, money laundering, crypto isn't targeted more than other targets.

Unfortunately, I have a friend that lost a lot of money to a fakemyetherwallet website. Always double check everything!

I lament you confronted this circumstance, yet you can't make a move, simply take care about your protection keeping in mind the end goal to keep these circumstances in future. I additionally lost tokens 2 times, I can't help thinking that I entered my private key on DEX trade phishing site.

The main reason is private key and you have not keep it at safe place then it is your mistake and there is no any recovery of it because it has happened many time in the crypto field due to the looser person.

Truly ive been hacked so often. It isn't sheltered at the present time. Be exceptionally cautious in taking care of your private keys, and never store it in net. Additionally keep away from suspicious or phishing destinations. Programmers can without much of a stretch store your tokens.

oh! sorry about that , you must have mistakenly clicked on a phishing link that looks like MEW, that is what hackers used in stealing peoples tokens. i have fallen victim twice on two different.

I do advise people to avoid MEW , its a web wallet and if you choose to access it with private key , its very risky and can be exposed to cheap hackers anytime.

I use IMTOKEN and other app wallets that are compatible with mt ERC20 tokens. with these app wallets you need only your password to login which is more secured than using private key.  

If you must use MEW then connect it to metamask that is safer too.

right now what you need to do is, download imtoken,  transfer the remaining token out to the IMTOKEN . Don't forget if you expose your Imtoken private key you will still be hacked. the good thing with App wallets like I  said earlier is that you don't need your private key to login.

now a days many pishing site and hackers spreading, i think you enter your pk in phishing MEW wallet so thats why your money gon,e better to bookmar the right site of mew to your browser so you can avoid hackers. Sorry for your lost brad.

You have been entered into a phishing site I think or you sign up to an airdrop form where you need to submit your private key I think. Better be more careful next time because scammers and hackers nowadays are more tricky in their methods.

I remember once myetherwallet was attacked and many people at that time when logged into their wallets. Hacker will automatically transfer their ETH to the hacker wallet, and the hacker has stolen more than $ 20 million

i think you are simply a victim of a phishing attempt you need to verify where you put your privitekey or your pc is infected with a keylogger good luck in your future investment

I don't think it is possible to hack into your wallet if your private key is not stone from you, it is been a while i have been using Mew wallet, i keep my private key properly.

I agree. Phishing would seem a ridiculous attempt to steal money, but unfortunately it is still very effective. Often people are not attentive where they go and where they enter their key and because of the usual neglect they find themselves in such situations.

If you entered your secret key only on the etherdelta and on the MEW website, then nothing fraudulent will come and all your money will not be stolen. My friends and I trust MEW-wallet.

So sorry for your losses, guys. Here's the guide on creating a secure wallet for your coins:
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@tomshwom/tomshwom-s-advanced-crypto-security-guide-part-3-creating-a-secure-wallet
Creating a wallet is a difficult task, especially if you are not one of those technologically advanced users. But still it's worth of trying, as in result you'll get safe and secure storage for your cryptos.

Thank you for the guide, a lot of useful information, I have long solved this issue for myself, but it will be very useful for beginners. I would recommend creating a forum thread so that as many people as possible can familiarize themselves with your work.

Steel is a project, which will gonna hold an ICO preety soon. They are going to create some kind of tor-similar network, which should be the best way of protection for any kind of information or file. However, I am not sure about funding, but idea is worth attention.

It's horrible! I sympathize. unfortunately, quite recently I had also. I recommend storing all funds in different wallets. but still no one is safe from the scam

You should make a little investigation to find out who exactly has stolen your private keys. There is no other way for random person to get your tokens. Hope that this is a scammer and not a person that you trust. Good luck and keep your head up!

Always afraid of it.  :( A friend recently had such a case. The person who stole the coins even sent ETH to complete transactions. 
Of course, at first, a friend shouted that he had been hacked. But he admitted that he had moved to the phishing site and entered the key there ...
Losing everything is very disappointing. But you need to at least a little to follow on what links you go. I saw many times in spreadsheets, people instead of the address of the wallet entered the key ...What is there more to say? So, it was not necessarily hacking. You can hurt yourself.

You know, when 65 million worth tokens are stolen from the exchange, your loss seem so smole. However, we can see that level of security in cryptocurrency area is not in the best condition, so you should look for better options to save your data.

I think you made some mistakes on your part. MEW itself is very difficult to hack, much easier to hack your mail or your computer.

Just take and buy a hardware wallet. This is the best way to help you protect yourself from hackers. It is not necessary to invent anything, the cost of a hardware wallet is small, 100 - 200 dollars.

It's a bad idea for you to only have one wallet because it can diminished all ,you must able to transfer in every wallet to avoid for that and to protect your earnings as well .This is your lesson so make sure to be aware by the next time.

Most of the hardware wallet are really difficult to be hacked because it requires you to insert the code shown in the device in every step you take when it comes to using your wallet.
Also, most of hardware wallet will generate new address once the latest one used so it's more safe and convenient.

This is quite a pity. You just have to start all over again. But this time, you must take extra caution in securing your wallet. Protect your keys very tight and back it up in several offline devices.

All my tokens also been hacked, and hacker is still taking away new ones that come for old bounty ...Now my wallet has 3th owners besides me. And that means that the hacker also sells stolen keys. Those two are stupid, they are here, on BTT with addresses of recipients' wallets. Hacker is clever. He is careful and works with new wallets only through exchanges, even eth on commission he replenished from exchanges. It is impossible to calculate and find his!

Maybe you should contact the DT member to give that man red trust to his account so that atleast they got an impact of what they are doing. But be sure to bring the evident because otherwise
you will be accused of lying if your evidences is not enough or atleast not strong enough.

give all the evidence you have so that the DT in this forum makes a solution in the future. because until now I've seen the same case several times. need some ideas to make this case minimized

I feel sorry for you. But do not worry, you will earn even more money than you have stolen. The main thing now is reinstalling the operating system, never follow suspicious links and never download files from unofficial resources.

Sorry for your loss, you must have been tricked in giving your private key away to email phishing or phishing website. Assume that your computer is vulnerable to attack and take necessary steps to protect your funds!

Your json file or private keys might be hacked. It is possible with fishing or malware. It is impossible to recover your coins, so store your access keys safer next time.

you can track the delivery of tokens on tx but it will be difficult to identify hackers because shipping usually leads to the Exchanger address
for the future, it is better to store the private key on the external as on the hard disk because it is safer

Not necessarily. I think it's possible that he accidentally accessed phishing domains. The best way is to visit a strange link every time, use the online virus scan tool. To secure yourself from loss.

Most likely you told someone your private key or stored it in the cloud storage. Or maybe you visited a phishing site or downloaded software with a virus. There are many options, but you need to now take into account your mistakes in order not to become a victim again in the future.

To avoid such tragedies - do not be greedy and allow yourself to spend only $ 100 to purchase Trezor hardware wallet. This will protect you from all the troubles associated with hackers forever. Your peace of mind is worth only 100 dollars for it once.

A wallet should not have to have a high value plus a free wallet is more customizable. Just put a password on it.

Oh. How could you not keep your computer safe like that? In cryptocurrency, this is the first thing you should take care of. You have forgotten the main rule of crypto investor.

Coverity will be one - don't keep all your passwords, access codes on the computer on which you have the Internet,it is often work!
- It is better to keep your savings in separate wallets hold.
- Do not click on unfamiliar links and do not give anyone your data,campaign workers never ask for more than the norm of information!
- Do not brag about your achievements, in addition to online scams there is still a real world with your animals!))
- Everything that happens to us to blame only ourselves!!!

You need to be a little careful, a lot of fraudulent sites, which are still even experienced people. The difference can be only in one letter in the link, all caution want.

So sorry to hear  all your hard earn token was stolen by hackers. This is most likely the hackers has access to your private key. The account is no longer controlled by you alone again.  All you have to do now is take responsibility for your mistake and quietly open a new mew account.

I got hack too and my ethereum and nobs token got stolen I believe the main reason that my wallet has been hack is when I participating to an airdrop that filling up google forms or kyc. And I go the site that not so secure but now I got my lesson learn so that I become more careful and I create my new wallet and transfer all my holdings there.

Hacking is currently the order of the day and one must be very careful when opening of links sent to mail box. Most of those links are scam link in order to have assess to your fund.

Yes, certainly. In the spring of 2018, there was a scandal with the hacking of the DNS servers of the myetherwallet wallet, but this is not the work of one hacker, but the work of a whole team of professionals. After that, the site learned its lessons and took the issue of security seriously.

Those are some of the most common mistakes, but I really think that if people want to deal with cryptocurrencies they need to have some form of cold storage, you do not even need a hardware wallet, you just need a USB or a cheap hard drive and install your wallet there and only connect that device to your main computer when you need to create a transaction.

Be protective of your wallet private key, hacking isn't possible unless your personal private key is hack by you unknowingly pasting on fake website, be careful of website you use that it is protested and safe before use.

Guys need to protect themselves. The best solution is not to go to the wallet to avoid phishing. The private key is impossible to crack.

You probably logged into phishing site which looked identical to original MEW; that's a classic hacker scheme which continues working even today...but that's one of rare ways to steal someones tokens...

The fact is that I consider MEW to be practically the best ethereal wallet that is difficult to crack or almost impossible. All problems with the users' funds are only due to the fact that the users themselves inadvertently use the wallet.

   It`s clearly stated to check URL, to make sure that URL bar has MYETHERWALLET INC in green. I agree with
you Suslura, all problems are made cause not paying enough attention.
   When you open MyEtherWallet anyone can go trough several pages how to protect their wallet. I done that
first time, it`s not hard. People should spend more time on reading important stuff, if they don`t do that they
are guilty for every lost penny.

Sorry that's really unfortunate it could have been that someone got hold of your private key. Now your wallet is not safe and you must get a new on. Also i think its not advisable to keep all your coins in one wallet, just spread them into different to avoid loosing everything.

Whenever we find some of our coins or tokens gone in our wallets, we need to make some confirmations first as regards that, so as to be sure it was really hacked.
There are times that the loss of some tokens might be due to malware.
If it then happens that the wallet was truly hacked through the provision of some transaction evidences, it means that we have to go for better options by using secured wallet.

Yes, friend, those are the normal incident in crypto. when you fill some forms don't give any time your PVT key or wallet password. Always keep those details beside the websites. It is better to use a hardware wallet.

Prioritize security next time when opening your wallet, always triple check everything from url and avoid clicking ramdom links. Make sure you are opening your wallet on trusted network, do not entertain random emails which most of them are probably phishing or get important information from you. Invest in good anti-virus, hardware wallets and most important do not share your privatekey to others.

The total security of MyEtherWallet lies in the care of the holder. It is always best to protect our login details especially the private keys. I have received a couple of phishing emails claiming it is from MEW. Remember, MEW does not have any one's email and will never request a user to follow a link or provide private keys for system upgrade.

i would suggest everyone to save eth wallet private keys on separate file and do not open that file unless needed.  that way you will not accidentally copy paste the priv keys on social media.  additionally, install metamask on your browser. it helps alot on detecting phishing sites.

Alot of phising site of MEW, IDEX, ETHERDELTA so make sure you click on right website by keep it on bookmark. And its better log in to your account when you want to withdraw the token, and for make deposit or to see the balance is not necesary to log in. MEW should be add 2 FA  to increase the level security.

It does not matter now since you are not able to do a thing about it. This is dark side of cryptocurrencies, they help to protect everybody's idenity, even if this person does some illegal staff. Make sure that your new private keys will be in a safer place.

MEW is one of the most secured wallets I know and if you got hacked it's may be your own fault I think either in the way of your privet key stolen which you have not secured well or someone has your desktop /laptop access.
It's very important to secure your privet data safely otherwise now a days it's very common to hacked.

Very sad situation, and here, to my great regret, I don’t think that I can help with anything, although probably no one will be able to help anything now, because now losing tokens is the same as just losing money on the street.

you have to be very careful about your private key you should not use it on a regular base I mean, use it when you need it.

a loss, a regret. This is a result for those who are too lazy with private keys and private keys. The information should be stored carefully and placed at the top of the absolute level. Do not let such a loss and the coin has ridiculous waste too.

While you are correct that your private key is key because if you lose it then everything is lost, the great problem is that hackers have many ways to access your private keys since computers are full of bugs and vulnerabilities and they are experts at taking advantage of those so they can get not authorized access to your coins, so securing your coins must be a priority.

There is no way to help, because we do not have the opportunity to return transactions back in such a case, we simply could not have what we have today. I am very sorry that this happened, we need to analyze the situation

Sorry about that,it does happen and it does hurts a lot but you have be careful with detail next time,your private key should be private.

afer 10months, did you get back your token yet??!?!!
should you try to contact admins there??
I use MEW to store my token too,, but did not have any problem yet
kind of nervous

I was very sorry. You might have a key logger on your computer, somehow you got your private password. You have to watch what you download. I hope you're fixing it in a short time.

If everything was stolen, then you should have got a new wallet MEW. Stolen coins can’t be returned. Be careful, don’t search a web address in the internet search engine. Otherwise, you can stumble upon scammers. Don’t use a secret key for an entrance, use the Metamask!

Scammers are very smart they even pay announcements and redirect you to websites that look the same and they can hack people that way, it is way better to bookmark the site that you want to use, that way you know that you will always be in the right site and you run no risk of being hacked that way, but another important thing if you want to keep your coins safe is to keep your computer up to date so your computer has as few vulnerabilities as possible.

People get hacked all the time, this is why you are always seeing threads on ways to make sure that your wallet is safe, there is no telling where you coins have gone and whoever has them is just going to bounce them through a couple of wallets to make sure that you can never trace them. Now you just have to move on and get another wallet. Sorry you lost your coins.

Most likely you downloaded a phishing program that stole from you all the data, or you had an extension installed that raged all your actions.

If you are hacked means you are somewhere lit up your private key, just create a new account to use it, I think it is not safe, and next time check where you go from what site

At present there are many modes used to steal our assets, therefore we must be careful in doing anything including how to use our devices, preferably the devices used to work are not used for other purposes. we also have to be careful when following Airdrop because there are some Airdrop cases that are just cheating

This must be very devastating to you right now losing your hard earned cryptos. I think the only way that you will lose your cryptos in MEW is that if somebody got hold of your private keys. If you are sure you knew nobody possible to take hold of it, then you might have entered it in a phishing site. You can check from etherscan where your tokens were transferred. But there is nothing you can do about it as you will not know the identity of the receiver.

The computer used to log into the wallet account is limited to bad sites, or unknown links, so it is safer for us, now hackers snooping our accounts a lot, so we should be careful

Your not the only person who was hacked to their MEW wallet. But just like what other said here to you, once your wallet has been hacked by a bad person(HACKER) there's no chance for you to recover it, maybe aside form the last transaction which you had made, maybe you clicked some phishing site too, which is you felt it is your account but its already you've been trap by the hacker something like that.

Sad to say but My EtherWallet has been hacked for couple of times
I remember that theres a phishing sites the has been misleaded by many MEW user.
Im sorry for you losses but this may serve as a lesson for you that the next time,you must saved the right site in your gadget so you wont be able to re direct fo phishing sites

When you are stolen, you will lose everything and no one is responsible for you. The Crypto market is so, you have to know how to protect your computer and account. I have been hacked a wallet MEW but the amount is not too large. So I always be careful and never down the computer harmful software. That is my sincere advice.

Unfortunately, I think that all this can not be returned, because it is a blockchain. There was such a situation when Vitaly Buterin still dropped the blockchain, because there was a lot of money there.

I think his computer has been compromised, There is malware available in his computer. You should check the entire computer and clean it before creating a new wallet, only then can he really be safe

All right, but still do not need to keep secret keys on your computer.Print or copy to a USB flash drive.But honestly, I don’t understand why developers won’t make a more secure online wallet.

MEW got hacked usually because of these 3 causes

1. Phishing site
2. Virus in your computer
3. You entered the wrong private into the bounty spreadsheet

the bad news is the token has been stolen cannot be returned but you can avoid this so that it doesn't happen again in the future by storing a private key or json file on a different device and dividing it into several wallets according to the value of the token

additional note: never click on any link that comes from an email (90% phishing)

in any case, it seems to me that the ethereum user of the wallet was not paying attention when using his secret keys, and there may also be a situation when unauthorized access to the computer is received. In any case, MEW is the safest wallet.

This is so Sad to hear that you have lost all you have worked for. Being hack is a terrible experience and I am sorry about your loss. But I think your private key must have been compromised. I know a lot of persons save their private Key either in there telegram account or in the Google drive which can easily be hack. So this is a security measure to stay safe as well.
Don't participate in phising projects where their website is not secure.

I am sorry for your loss. You should carefully monitor the security of your data. All the bounty companies that you led are now at stake. Unfortunately, bounty managers will hardly change your wallet now.

Unfortunately, you will not do anything anymore, it is impossible to return the stolen coins from the wallet. And you can even see the thief and watch his balance, thanks to the blockchain. Only one way out, forget this wallet, open a new one and keep your keys safe.

all those involved in crypto currency sooner or later faces the security of funds..on the forum has written a lot of guides on how to store your tokens, that would not be robbed..I feel sorry for you, I also a year ago, revealed two wallets, typically we are guilty, that nablyudaem simple rules, the main of them says: do not store keys on your computer and not to go into the wallet key..

Hacker can do anything they are the products of their choices. Hacker can easily hack mew. It is common now.

hey, hold on, mate! i hope that wasn't your last money? anyway, panic is no use here, you have to understand the cause of this robbery. just to avoid repeated stuff in the future. good luck with it!

If you want to check where your assets are lost, you can use trace transactions through the etherscan. Only need to enter your eth wallet and all transactions will be visible.

 Thats right . but aside from that , we can also use etherplorer to track our transactions and coins.


Maybe he have lost alot of money in equevalent to cryptos , thats why he cant move on .   panicking isnt bad at all especially if this is the first time to happen in you  .  it is also impossible to avoid repeated steps because hackers will always do a way to hack us even if how secure we are .


No they cant .  mew is verry popular and that also means it has a solid security due to its number of users  . ita not about hacking but it is phishing on why many users have lost their coins  .

Really sometimes it is very frustrating because even though we provide some security measure people are stealing the coins. I think it is impossible to steal without sharing your private key, even i have experienced same by sharing my private key to others. As long as if you don't share your private key you will be in safe hands.

I used to be like that, I've lost my token and eth because I once entered a phishing site, which they easily hacked into my wallet freely. Have you ever logged on to Airdrop using the KYC form of utc json file.

Maybe your put your private key in somewhere place which are not secure or you have been open your wallet in fake sites, that is why someone stolen your private key and they use it to get your coins in your MEW.

Check your transaction history to know where your coins landed.

I think that if the tokens were stolen, then the private key fell into the hands of the intruders and it makes no sense to use this wallet anymore. There are a lot of similar cases, people enter private keys on phishing sites, save in text messages on a computer that is accessed by attackers.

I see these kinds of things all the time, the crypto money world is dangerous, and I'm surprised why people use software wallets.

This is really terrible. I myself faced this situation and was shocked. So this is an unreliable wallet and you have to keep your own funds on different ones. Be careful!

If your account stolen or hack theres nothing you can do because hacker knows your private key so you cant use it anymore. The best you can do is move on and do a new one but this time make sure that no one will be know about your private key and b careful in any links out there.
