There have been several cases like yours and like them, you can't do anything to get it back. It's either you logged on in a phishing link (most likely to happen) or your private key was exposed to anyone. Remember that we are responsible for the security of our money. You might want to install EAL (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/etheraddresslookup/pdknmigbbbhmllnmgdfalmedcmcefdfn) or Metamask (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn) to help you block malicious/phishing links especially of MEW next time.

I think most of the people are newbies only because they don't know how to use the MEw and they keep sharing those private keys to other. It is always not good to share your private keys to unidentified person.

Better to stay away in etherdelta and dont trade  ,cause their site is prone to hacking  you should pull out all your coins out there and transfer it to a secured wallet, dont wait for your coins stolen by the hacker.

to be honest I'm sad to say this, but I do not think anyone can help you recover your assets. maybe for the future you have to be careful when entering into a site and always keep your private key safely.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do, your ethereum is gone.
Maybe you logged into phishing site or you have keylogger.
He said he made withdrawal from bittrex and didn't use that wallet for months, he didn't say he was using etherdelta.

I don't think you can actually recovering your coins as the private key limit you. Ethereum network has been porous from beginning and we have had many of this hacking stories and that is why one should trying to use offline wallets for storing your coin. Sorry for the loss just hope you put more security in future.

theres no way you can recover your funds , it is already on the hackers address, maybe you made a mistake thats why hackers stole your eth, it maybe your a victim of phishing dont click link that redirects you to MEW site

First of all, I would recommend you to  download an anti virus( at your case, you would probably need to download it on an externa PC and transfer it via a flash drive, as the virus will probably won't let you download.


After you have the antivirus on your PC, you need to scan your PC for viruses, make sure that you scan the whole PC and not only specific files.
After the scan has been finished , you will probably need to remove the virus, remove it and then you are okay to download another wallet.

Don't feel ashamed, things like this happen and for much higher amounts.

I also want to ask how the characteristic of mew we exposed hakced.?
and how we can avoid it

MEW hasn't been hacked.

It's really sad to say that myetherwallet can't help you about your problem because myetherwallet always says that "you and only are responsible for your own security and myetherwallet don't holds your private keys." There are lots of users who are been victims and got their wallet emptied by thes f***ng hacker and also by theyre pishing site and yet no one reports that their money funds and tokens are been back and returned to its original owner. There are few reason why your wallet got hacked it's either you improperly handle your private key or you're been a victim of pishing sites.
For the sake of all to avoid tgese kind of misfortune please jeep in mind that you should protect youre private keys from orhers, double check the site before entering your private keys and bookmark the right site.

yes youre right mew hasnt been hacked but a lot of hackers are copying mew site to be use in phishing purposes. It op's fault why hes mew got hacked, maybe hes a victim of phishing link.

That's why we should always bookmarked after we used the right site of mew to avoid this phishing site.
What's OP have lost is something but it can't be recover as it's safe in someone's wallet and it's really frustrating when you've lost the amount that you've work hard.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your ETH dude. But we all know that ETH transaction is irreversible so I doubt that you can recover you funds again. How did you got hacked by the way? You have any idea? Lately there was been numerous reports about MEW phishing incident, so I assumed that you may have inadvertently went to that phishing site.

Up to now EtherDelta, has still the deposit thing issue. It has been DNS hacked as well. So I also advise to stay away from it.

Sad to say this, but we have no one to blame but ourselves. MEW has been putting a lot warnings ever since, and its up to us to really protect our again in them. Just bookmarked the URL so that you don't need to type them and go to a phishing site. Protect our account at all cost.

It is important to keep our computer with an powerful antivirus to keep secured from the phishing links which can steal your private keys.And you need to keep your system offline as much as possible or keep a separate system for cryotocurrency usage then it will keep away from hacking or stealing.
But there is no way to reverse our transactions in cryotocurrency so it means you lost it for forever.There is no way to hack your wallets unless someone can access your private keys so you are responsible for what happened,you can't blame anyone else bro.

This is serious.. I think I need to install metamask right now to protect my funds. Mew always you're responsible for your security. I guess your private key was exposed somehow, u may have clicked on a phishing link without knowing. Sorry that there's nothing you can do about it.

This is the most basic thing that we can able to do is which we should really set out anti-virus on our pc before doing any steps regarding on transferring or storing out crypto from our wallet. Phishing links are common and maybe OP did able to input his keys on that site.This is the only way that your wallet can be compromised and its not really true that MEW can be hacked,its not possible which the only way on accessing it is on your private keys once it has been compromised or been exposed then expect there would really be an access.

There would only be a very little chance to get back stolen ETH. Maybe the ETH address can be tracked to an exchanger. If so, exchanger could freeze the account of the hacker.
Although its concerned to ETH, I would ask at the technical support here on Bitcointalkforum
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0
or supoort of myetherwallet, if there would be a chance to track the transaction to a deposit address of an exchanger or a service site.

Sorry to say that, You have 0% chance of returning it back,That's why we must be extra careful on phising sites, MEW always give us warning about it, always use bookmark and Metamask for safety. Just create new wallet and move on.

Can you share with us the name of that third party app so that we can be careful? We should always download the app from the official website. It is not right to input the private key of our wallet by downloading the app from any sourch. Also those who use ERC 20 web wallet can use Metamask wallet. Because its security is very strong.

Wow, how does both of you manage to dig up this old thread? Did you guys didn't read on when this thread created? it's so nonsense to reply your concerns or even any advices since the OP or other users who posted here from the past for sure forgot about their post here so guys better find more reliable new thread to post your discussions.

Ethereum blockchain is not shit and everyone can not hack Ethereum blockchain, at least till now no news about Ethereum blockchain being hacked has been heard of, but however what gets hacked is users wallet and it happens when they failed to protect their private keys. That you got hacked means you did something you were not meant to do, such as importing your wallet to an untrusted mobile wallet application, platform or website. Therefore, the only way to be protected against hacks is by storing your private keys securely, being mindful of the websites you visit and using only trusted wallet applications.

Are you still sending Ethereum to that address? you have already understood that it was hacked and your funds were stolen and hackers will keep stealing whichever is available on that wallet.
Have you remembered the app that you used?

Mew isn't hack but if anyone else knows your private key then there can hacked your wallet. Otherwise if you gonna put your private key in pshing site like fake site then they can easily take your wallet. So avoid fake mail and don't participate fake airdrop and never input your private key in another site.

maybe it is a big amount for him, how do you know, what if it's almost all that he got in crypto, i would be pissed if i got hacked even for ten bucks, nobody wants to see his money no matter the amount is, go away and vanish through the air.

sorry to hear that you lost your Ethereum. I saw You are a newbie at this forum. maybe you are new also to the crypto world. so I will suggest you first try to know how to store crypto safe and securely. Every day a lot of people losing their funds like you. it's very common in the crypto world. My suggestion for you is: never put your private key online, try to wrote or print out those keys in a safe place. never download any third party app/software. it's very risky, You may be affected by malware easily in this way. before download, any file first tries to scan those files/websites with virus total (https://www.virustotal.com/gui). before opening your wallet in any browser, try to use Private Window, it's very important. because we use the various extensions on our computer and that extension can also lookup at our private key.

Nope, there is no way to return your fund honestly. Crypto currency is different with bank, if you make a mistake to send your fund then there is a possibility for bank to return your fund, but it is different with crypto currency. One of the way to return your fund is someone who own the wallet itself. Although you contact the etherscan owner they can't be able to return your fund, believe me. Just take an experience by this incident. You have to keep your prikey or every stuff that can access to your wallet.
