Everyone want to write down their private key to paper and you up your private key to a online note. This is a lesson to you.  :-\ So, keep your wallets safe and install an anti-virus software before you lost your wallets again.

Do you understand how evernote actually work? When you write something it is stored on their server thus people who work for evernote are able to access what you type, when you type etc. It is far from being private. Problem with you is that you haven't don't your homework to understand what is bitcoin, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies in order to be able to know more about security. If you've done your homework however you would know that STORING your private keys ONLINE is the WORST you can be doing. Don't trust 3rd party providers with your money, crypto was made so that you are in control not others.

It is a warning and caution for crypto users to keep secure their private key of the wallets, otherwise they are going to be hacked. Because all our transaction or activities in our wallets are save on the server, that makes the hacker can easily access and get our accounts. We should take the lesson from this case. Improving our security of wallets. 

if I understand i don't loss my money,i think it safe because I have to store on my phone and i chosen evernote,this is lesson for me so i want warning everyone

yes,this is watning for everyone,i think everyone should edit private key and remember where we edit to when fill provate key we will edit again,if anyone steal private key they can use because this private key is wrong

Storing private information's on Evernote is very risky. I have heard from people before that their security system can easily be overridden. So i think no one should post their personal information's in here.

Why would anyone store their private informations online? There's thoushand of hackers are lurking on the internet for those information, Doing this will eventually lead you to scamming.

Evernote is never for storing personal informations. Because all you store in their server is completely visible to the people who work for them. I think you learned your lesson.

Keys must be kept in personal and secured way. Evernote is not secured in any kind of way. The developers have the access on your note without you being noticed . as the keys are everything in crypto it is better to store the key by writing it down in a paper. And store it somewhere safe physically.

First thing about storing private keys, and passwords is to store them offline and not online. You just cant be secure if it is somewhat online.

This case more like personal fault, you can't blame evernote. Ask yourself why someone can access your evernote. I appreciate this information, it can be some lesson for us.

Place your private keys on a sheet of paper and an encrypted thumb drive (2-3 of them).  Stop using fancy plugins and all this other stuff you do not need in the mix.  A sheep of paper and pencil is your best defense against hackers.  To beat technology you must go to the stone age. 

Wow. It seems to me that you are very bad about your own crypto security, which led to the loss of personal funds that were stored on the wallet. Is it really so difficult to save a private key on a flash drive? Or print on paper? Or get a tattoo with a private key? It would be a lot safer than keeping it in the Evernote.

If i am not mistaking, evernote should be an online note and anything online can easily be hacked if care is not taken. Thanks for alerting forum members though, but next time, i would advise if you are going to even store on a devise and not online note this time or perhaps on your e-mail, it would be better you omit some parts of it that you have written down or can easily remember.

This application often connects to the Internet without a permission. Hackers know this and hack this way a lot of wallets, mails, etc.

I think that isn't as easy as that, I believe this is personal fault such as a weak password or OP using a similar password for several accounts.

wherever you want to save a private key, then I suggest to add some special characters and place them in a line that you can easily remember. so when you want to enter a private key then you must delete the character that you added earlier. anyone cant access our wallet, if they do not delete the character that we have added.

In the website so many wallets are available. So you can choose a good wallet which is secure and safe and install an antivirus software.

You have to be smart in storing your key.  The key is the only access to your crypto doesn’t matter what coin is it is all about the key. So you have to be very much careful there are many hard wallets to securely keep the keys you should try them. 

Aww this is really sad but Thnx to you. You warned us all from this situation now we will aware by this .and will not use evernote.. I hope your loss will be recover soon I wish you good licfor future and thanks for this advice for this awareness.

Iirc Ian Balina was hacked in the exact same way.

Private keys needs to be stored offline, with good old paper as the best option probably

something that is quite unfortunate. but know to be honest this is a fault of its own, which you do. save it as important as it is in the online servers will allow anyone else especially hackers have the opportunity to freely could open it and even this many people who should know. would be quite risky storing this in a server because there are always hackers everywhere.

Thank you for warning the people about the securities about the private we must store our private key very securely. Int crypto world the key is the key to everything what you hold and there is no recovery and no place to complain.

i think in the times when computers are so tightly into our daily routine it's really risky to stote your information in it. be oldschool, write on paper

EVERNOTE That is the same thing as a third party or intermediary.
So, don't play with your money with third parties that are not necessarily tested for safety.
