Suspicious transactions on Myetherwallet!
On one of my purses today appeared tokens (-2500 tinyurl.com/nicetokens), which I never had and someone brought them out?
Someone knows what's the matter?
What's going on with the myetherwallet lately?!

Why dont you just post the TX ID here ? Why use the URL shortener ?

Usually it's a token that is devoted to ico promotion for some ICO or maybe it's spam tokens that same with other spam token that had been hanging around a few months ago. Check here https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6zy091/token_spam/ Good luck!

This is not a link-this is  the name of the token! I've never had one! Where did they come from!? Who brought them out-this isa mystery !!! I do not feel that my wallet is safe!

It was some kind of advertising token, which was intended not for sale but just for presenting a new project. After the expiration of the deadline, the token was removed, and that's it. With MEW, everything is in order, do not worry!

It's an ad. Send a few tokens with a link to a website in the name to random addresses and many eth holders will visit your website. It's like a global announcement for the whole eth ecosystem.

I recommend buying a Ledger Nano. It is impossible to hack and protection is guaranteed. I always use it when I Login to Myetherwallet.

The current mew is quite unstable. There are rumors that hackers are attacking. But I think they are trying to make the school drop. I do not believe this is true because mew bags are quite safe for us

In my opinion it is dangerous to translate these tokens, the friend had the same situation when the unknown tokens came, he tried to translate them, and then everything was gone from the purse!

That really does not matter also there might be some problems with mew but that is probably promo coin, if you don't lose anything don't worry.

I highly doubt that this is a MEW related issue since these kind of things tend to happen now and then and I have experienced them myself a couple of times. MyEtherWallet security is top notch and I always feel safe leaving my coins and tokens in my MEW wallet. Do some research on that particular token itself op and find out if other people also faced the same issue. At the end of the day, you are not losing anything which is why you need to stop panicking.

Such airdropped coins are common for ERC20 tokens. It will not affect your ETH wallet if you leave the token in it. IMO, this strategy is to attract investors’ attention and increase holders count.

Please don't panic!

This is not an issue on any level, anyone can send you tokens and airdrops get tokens is a common phenomenon for promotion.

Maybe they just wrongly send the tokens to your address or the airdrop participants maybe made some mistake while giving his eth address.But you are very safe you never get hacked y sending a spam coins.You will be hacked only if you phised to some links.

Can generate the token they want. I enjoy the Symbol of this token. Very happy. And it only uses to advertise an ICO. will not have any value

But how it could be??? tell me someone! Today I saw on my wallet withdraw this tokens, but I didnt recieve them never! also they was withdraw without me!! This is transaction hash  https://ethplorer.io/tx/0x2be22481c28aba90e3b58132ca7547d64f420aec760af6e740b991450691bb21#pageSize=100   , it was made in one minute 753 transactions to withdraw!
How can someone to withdraw from my wallet???
http://prntscr.com/k7nehm

The TX id you mentioned was the transaction of 2500 tokens which was mentioned in OP was send to 752 users,you are also one of them.But they can't withdraw that token without your permission.SO no one can withdraw your wallet's funds other than the people who have the private keys of that wallet.

They can withdraw themselves if it is registered in a smart contract

You don’t need to border yourself as far as your private still private in the sense that, it’s not expose.

I think that this is an unreliable purse. Very often there were thefts, transfer from a purse and so on. With every day scammers more and more are not happy.

Look its not IN, its OUT

They may be from some useless airdrop or some spam tokens, i have also received few such tokens in the past, i think mostly they do this to get attention towards their token so that they can attract more people to in est in their crap token.

At me some days ago hackers have stolen 4,5 ETH with myetherwallet. (
I followed all the safety rules! I do not know how they did it, and I do not understand how the whales store a lot of thousands of ETH on the myetherwallet and they do not steal from them! MEW is a very bad wallet for our money ...

If the wallet owner did not confirm the transaction, then it turns out that the wallet was hacked. I understand correctly? Otherwise I can not understand how the coins could be withdrawn from the wallet ???

Not worried about receiving shit tokens. But these 'nicetokens' were not deposited INTO my address, they were send OUT of my address, which is a Trezor generated address by the way.
Someone generates coins on the fly in random addresses and can send them out to other addresses (regardless from Trezor or MEW or whatever, none of those interfaces are actually used when coins are transferred) ???

And I see one of the destination addresses is BancorTokenNetwork. Bancor? If that's not fishy, then what is...

GUYS WHY DID QUANTSTAMP TAKE MY TOKENS!!!! https://etherscan.io/address/0x99ea4db9ee77acd40b119bd1dc4e33e1c070b80d#tokentxns

why they can take from my wallet????

As my knowledge, MEW wallet was attacked some day ago by HOLA extension add-on which help fake IP by VPN tunnel. Do you use this add-on? My friend used it and was hacked 3 ETH by scammers. Be careful.

Indeed, recently, the Myetherwallet behaves strangely, it is possible that some technical work is going on.

If your other asset not lost, your wallet is secure, however if one who hack your wallet, he / she will take out all your properties. Not ony one token but clean all your asset with your eth. you have nothing now is someone hacked your wallet. If only one token and I think it is a promo toke with smart contract to leave the wallet by itself.

Whoah, Thanks for thr info man..never heard of it just yet till I came to read this thread.

my personal EtherWallet is going insane for a week already, somebody is sending me just tons of worthless tokens in quantity of 1, 2 or 5. I am totally overwhelmed it is already 115 different tokens.

My address is full of those free airdropped tokens and I dont mind it, maybe in the long run some of them will actually be worth something, but probably not, still, they does not endanger your other holdings or anything of this fashion, no.

Here is a letter me was shown today:


The Token Has Spoken

Don't worry, your wallet is safe. We just wanted to show you that you could do things with tokens nobody had ever dreamed of. That is just the tip of the iceberg. And we've built the system to do it. Build Tokens that work in the real world. Here's how:

If you're a developer, it's as simple as REST API which we provide several fully functional demo apps w/code using the token.

If you're an entrepreneur, you just need a developer who knows how to build the app your token will be used in. They can use our system with any modern language and generate tokens within minutes. No more hunting for the magical crypto unicorn on a budget.

If you're a financier, you'll be able to see an entire ecosystem of tokens, token ideas, and real world token implementations. Any token can be converted to a mainnet ERC20 exchange token.

Add yourself to our list below to find out more.

I saw this tx as well today in my wallet. Got spooked, but had a friend check and he confirmed its just a spammy contract with no other authorisation on wallet.

Yes i got this too, i thought my wallet got hacked. My friend said its a weird smart contract that just got hacked or something like that, but i do think there is no problem at all here. I think my wallet still safe.

This no doubt is an airdrop. Just enjoy it!

This is a new innovative type of advertisement.
They found a good way to advertise their company with related people.
I wonder how much ETH they spent on Gas

Which you say is true too, because recently there was an unknown token in my wallet.

No need to worry you about this transaction. I git it, too, and my MEW is just fine.

Nobody can hack your account unless he has access to your private key. So, keep calm and just ignore these fake airdrop transaction.

I have witnessed such a thing in my wallet an unusual tokens appearing on my wallet address, I have like two of such coins sitting in my wallet, One of them is called 20-foot-equiunit, I have search the internet but could not find any information on the token. So my guess is that people might be using it to test their dApps

I need you to uunderstand that there will always be fud regarding Myetherwallet
Which is why you should not compromising your private keys

So ensure you do all things in proper accordance’s
Nothing is wrong  with Myetherwallet
Remember  

It's a shit token afaik which given to anyone else for nothing. It will kept on your wallet forever no matter what is the reason they gave you the tokens.

ive had loads of random tokens, usually theyre just spam tokens promoting some kind of project. pretty sure theyre never anything to get excited about but theres no danger when receiving them

These type of tokens are used for introducing new projects. Actually these token are not for sale and they will do nothing wrong.

I have not used Myetherwallet any longer because there are so many investors who have been hacked on MEW wallets. Currently I use Mycrypto and Metamash to protect my assets and it is very safe.

How will we know the answer and provide an accurate information if you will be unable to provide a screenshot or may a link for transaction? If you are familiar with airdrop, there might be a possibility that there was some sort of partnership with the token you hold and provided an airdrop depending on the number of that token you hold.

I think there is something fishy is going on with your wallet so you should take care of this. you had better share your Transaction ID here so that the experts can put some suggestions that you can take.

The myetherwallet has been found suspicious recently. This also might be a scam because so many hackers are interrupting on these projects.

for promotional activities according to the marketing policy the industry has to use some tools as far I know mytherwallet is basically used for doing advertisement this kinds of this is not for sell they used to present new project among the investors to gain their attention but it development their system so in future it can use more

Suspicious behavior creates anxiety in mind. In this regard, it should be done with consciousness without thinking. No one can hake without entering the unwanted links.

You need not worry, there are a number of airdropped tokens to ETH addresses. I believe the purpose of such airdrop is to promote the token projects by attracting attention of potential buyers.

As far I know it’s a token which is for advertisement. It was meant to not for sale it was invented to present the new project. After sometime it will be removed. So worry no more.

If this is scam tokens, they can dissapear just. I always check contract adress. If it doesn't  lead to any website,that is scam and useless.

Wow, I've been told about this issue by 3 people and you are one more. I don't know how it is possible, but anyway i don't recommend you to press their web site, because there should be fishing attempt with logging your cookie or something like that. Don't press it!

I dont think it is scam or hacked. I think this is an add for promotion. Dont that much serious if you are safe.

Contact with the support team of your wallet and describe them the situation and ask them what was it? They are the professionals and I am sure that they will explain you everything.

I think it is a token for advertise some new project. But you need not to be worry if everythiung is ok by this time.

That’s a common way of promoting coins. They send you those coins for promoting them and should have removed them by now if you have decided not to buy them.

As far as i know this is not secure. I know a person who fall in the same situation and he can’t understand the token and after that time he loss everything from his purse.

Basically I search in web and I learned that it’s a projects based on this it work for ad which is work for one time when it play once then it will be removed so there is nothing to worried about this matter.

They are correct, it's just a token spam that they are promoting their coins so if you posted somewhere your ETH address, they have gathered it.

And after gathering a lot of ETH addresses on their databases that's the time they are going to send their token at once.

They don't need for any airdrops or what, they are forced to endorsed it that way.

They were probably some kind of advertisement coins. But however don't take any further risk, you must immediately strengthen your security and take some measures as well.

We should avoid Myetherwallet. I don't know cryp[to has billions of USD cap. In Myetherwallet, every day a huge amount of crypto coin trade there, then why their security is the worst?  Recently I read many topics here about MEW Hacking, And I just fed up with this MEW. We need a good alternative ETH wallet with high security like blockchain wallet.

Wow, it is a nice coding they did. But it is also very risky.

If some scammer make some kind of thing to a smart contract, that can be horrible.

Recalling how easy it is to deploy an ethereum token, that's definitely a spam token that usually being used to spam something universally even a malicious software aswell by giving a suspicious link.
Just ignore that and you will be fine, otherwise MEW won't add it to their recognised erc20 token so you can relax a bit.

Completely true. This is honestly silly in my opinion and they are not impressing anyone through such silly tactics. Why can't they simply follow what everyone else are doing? I was surprised myself when I saw these tokens in my wallet, but never panicked or anything since I have faith in the security of MEW and some research helped clear up my doubts. Don't panic needlessly people.

You can find more info by this url. And it looks like advertisment. I don't think that it is good way to promote anything.

"Don't worry, your wallet is safe. We just wanted to show you that you could do things with tokens nobody had ever dreamed of. That is just the tip of the iceberg. And we've built the system to do it. Build Tokens that work in the real world."

I don't think the problem is from MyEtherWallet. Most people joke with their wallets when they engage in fake airdrops that will require them to verify their wallets by inputting their wallets' private keys.

After doing some research about such suspicious activities, one of the evident reasons is that it was an ad of a new project. Once the ad expired, it was removed. There is nothing to worry about it and it is not a scam.

This can't be happening. How the transfering of this token could cause the theft of others ones? this could only happen if you compromised your private key or you were hacked. But I think that these tokens are not really involved.

This might be a spam or advertising token. This is quite normal as new coins are being created frequently and they plan to advertise their coins by putting it in peoples wallet. After a certain time the coin will be there no more.

Myetherwallet is a very modern way of promotions for coins. Basically, many different companies put up these pop offers, if unused they remove the coins again from your wallet.

Someone probably just airdropped the tokens to random wallets.  I have a bunch of junk tokens in myetherwallet that have been sent to me.  I don't even bother doing anything about it.  It's an eyesore but unfortunately you can't prevent it from happening.

MEW is the wallet which has a very serious level of safety and I am sure in it totally. Anyway it has some rare problems but they do not influence in common.

Yes, I had half a year ago also had some kind of token-spam, now in the last time one more began to hang, sent out of nowhere)

This is alarming because myetherwallet is the main source of where our incomes are coming from. It is the tool being use by different projects and programs to bring us our earnings. They should do precautionary measure to prevent hackers attacking our wallets.

If you observe a suspicious transaction on you wallet, it means you have entered you private keys on those malicious websites that usually require you send your private keys to verify your wallet for fake airdrops. You need to move you tokens to a new wallet before they pack all your tokens away.

It means that you have done some mistakes in your working, I have never had problems with MEW and what is more I am really glad to use this one.

Yes, I also got strange tokens like that, but my friend said you should never click on that link because it is a trap link you can lose the token you have on MEW, so you have to be careful if you get a token like that

No need to care about trash token like that :). Everyday so many guys received so many trash token like that in their MEW and I also the same :). After months not checking my wallet, I realize that there are more than 2 trash token added to my MEW. LOL. I don't know what it is or where it come from but no matter cause I just need to ignore it :)
