My wallet on MEW is compromised. Someone stole all of my tokens from there. I think they hacked my desktop computer.
Now i expect to receive new tokens on this address and is too late to change with new address.
Is there any chance to change my private key, or to lock them wih password or any 2fa

Sorry to hear this but I guess there's no way change your private keys or lock them, but you can report this to https://etherscan.io/contactus so it will be labeled as used for scamming stealing/hacking/stolen funds. You can post your ETH address here so people can help you to add can comments on the comment section of etherscan.io like this address used for phishing https://etherscan.io/address/0xb1daEc35b9774288fd3895A30912961945878046#comments

Go here https://etherscan.io/contactus and choose the (5) option on the dropdown.

And all you can do is to secure your desktop for now.

There is no proof of a scam, I only have empty eth address.
all of my tokens has stolen from this address: 0x49A7CB5cEFBAD138E0B62C6003048Ef8271483a1
now i am checking, I'm not the only victim

Oh, sorry my bad, it's not scamming but stealing/hacking but still, you have to report that address so all the coin and transaction will be made there will be labeled as stolen funds. Exchanges close/banned those accounts connected with this address if it's proven as stolen funds.

where to report? on MEW?

Even you'll report that it's already stickied at the top of their website that everyone must notice those hackers and you need to take notice on that thing and be aware to protect your funds.

This is their reminder

At the top it also says

WTF man, I'm sorry to hear that but I don't think that you can change for private keys on MEW. Are you sure that you have been hacked? Lots of phishing sites specially on MEW that's why I bookmarked it, but if your desktop computer has been hacked better backup everything and do a clean install. There are really a lot of unscrupulous individuals out there, taking advantage of everything specially in crypto's. This is a hard lessons for you to swallow but I guess you can't do anything and all the hardwork you have done getting all this tokens or even tokens you have invested have been stolen from you. Let's this to a lessons for us as well. Just bookmark MEW and don't click any links specially in your email.

If you're not the only one I am really curious to know how this happened to you and other people. You all uploaded your private keys on a compromised website or what.
If you can't use 2fa (if it's possible) i think you will need to remove the fund as soon it comes before someone do it for you :(

Most people use MEW and there are some cases some people claim it got hacked. but I'm wondering; how could that happened? have you ever got into phishing links or something like that? Or, some pro hackers just use super computers to brute force get into your desktop computer while you were online? I'm sorry can't help about that, but more information about how this happened in the first place will be informative and useful for us.

Yes of course you can't recover those funds anymore but we/examplens can only do now is to remind the community or the exchanges that all the funds from that wallet are stolen.

Since I heard some report/issues/news before that if your account on any exchange received funds from stolen funds from recent hacks/phishing/scams the exchange will auto terminate those connected account/s. So it will be prevented to trade those coins. Bittrex did this, dunno on some exchange.

Btw told you already where to report, just go to some eth explorer so those tx and athe address will be labled as hacked/stolen.

Right, there's nothing we can do now but to give warning to the community that we should be careful when we are visiting MEW or when we will use our private key to such sites.

But I never heard that thing about exchanges that will receive stolen funds but if that's for real, nice initiative from them.

Now i have ip address from where it come attack. It is from Russian internet provider. I am reported this IP to Russian FSB.
I do not believe that i get money back, but it will be nice of we know who is behind

This is a very rampant and disturbing issue these days, pls check out yhis useful link, it has helped blocked several criminals and caused them to loose all their evil works

Really wished these hackers cant used the stolen tokens or coins after it has been labelled as scam or fraud.

it's better to use 2fa on all accounts you have. like all exchanges and especially gmail. you better use 2fa and phone number, so they are difficult to hack our account. if to change ssh private key i do not know
