Just want to share my experience for a week ago.my wallet was hacked  by a poor hacker  in my opinion because in my wallet not more than $200 and the hacker was hacked only $80 when eth for the gas  transaction was run out.very so sad when we waiting for the best price and i will sell it but it was hacked

So you assume the hacker was poor based on the coins he stole from your wallet?
If you had 1 million ETH,the hacker probably would be a rich one. ;D
I'm sorry that you were hacked,but the hacker's wealth doesn't matter.All the hackers are kinda "poor".If they had a stable legit income,they wouldn't  deal with scamming people and other illegal stuff.

Weather the hacker was poor or not does not matter. What matter is you got hacked in your wallet where the only one that should have access to it is you and you alone specially that the only way to access it is by private key and that only means that you are not careful enough to keep this important data from being stolen. The only lesson that can be taken from here is that you need to be careful on where you access your crypto accounts and wallets and providing personal data from spreadsheets. Learning basic internet protection also helps a lot.

There are many of these "poor" scumbag hackers out there.
In the end karma will get them.

Haha. Right! I think op doesn't care about the money , which is he just want to share and to acknowledge to the public that he got hacked by a poor hacker base on the amount stolen on his wallet. Lol

Ps.  If i were you op try to put a big amount on your wallet then share again your story and comment about the hacker.  Which if it's still a poor hacker and etc. Haha 

Ha, ha, funny story.  ;D
But maybe he wasn't poor but he didn't want to steel everything you have so not to leave you without funds.  ;)
Seriously, some hackers don't care that much about the money and they are not so obssesed how much will they steal but they want to show they can do it. Sometimes this could be their reference for some more serious "job".
But you should take this as a warning that you are vulnerable and that your wallet isn't protected enough. Don't let this happen twice.

Yes, I think hackers who hack tokens at prices that are just under $ 80 are very bad. if the hackers have the skills and are not too poor in my opinion, the marus they steal tokens whose nominal is above $ 1000

No matter how you put it this kind of experience is unpleasant. I think that they should stop doing this. It is hard work to steal money from people. You have to work fast, hard and in condition of stress.

Hackers will always be a hacker, of course mostly hackers are poor from the start because they want to become rich quickly. This kind of situation should not be proud of, we must protect are wallet at all time in any cost. Hackers will stay in this market for good, that is why we need to work harder on making sure that our wallet is really safe.

Maybe they have certain purpose. But stay be careful. That is warning for us and you. We must be a smart person. Maybe that hacker isn't hack you only. Imagine if they hack 1 million people and send their money to one address and sell it for personal interest.

A hack is successful regardless of the amount stolen. Perhaps that hacker is not poor or something but a newbie or sort, got very nervous and didn't bother to look at the gas transaction and immediately press send transaction. So let this be a expensive and hard lesson for you, probably you got phished or something and next time just be careful. Your $200 can be $1000 in next couple of months so its really depressing to see you lost that money.

hmmm I don't understand why, maybe he just took something that was easy to resell therefore he chose eth to take and left another coin coin, because in my opinion there are some coins that are not too selling in the market

He is a good hacker who sets aside a portion for you and I don't think he cares about what you have because you have very little value, maybe if you have a lot of ETH in your wallet, hackers will not be responsible for taking everything from you, so be careful Be aware that anyone can be hacked if they don't take care of their wallet properly and properly, hopefully it will be a lesson for you personally.

wait for a very unfortunate thing, my question is how can you get hacked, do you enter the phishing web or you accidentally give someone your privacy key. next time you have to be more careful with what you save because in an advanced technology world like this people will be easier to take or steal your money

This world (crypto and no-crypto) is full of bad people.. You need to watch out or you will be easy scammed by everyone.
Never trust anyone, never do anything unsafe or stupid.. Be careful...

Hackers are always looking for ways to take advantage of someone else's network, for example if we do not secure our wallets they will rob our wallets and specialize in our tokens as their property.

You must be thankful because the hacker didn’t get all that $200 and instead of being angry you should be happy and celebrating.hackers don’t care ho much thy might get but its on how they got your money
If i were you transfer that money to other wallet for safety

Well it is never a good thing to get hacked, you need to try to figure out how the hacker got access to your wallet and you need to prevent that even if the amount of money that you lost was small you can not let this happen again, what it's going to happen if you really become successful in this market and then all of that is lost because the hacker stole your coins from you? Second about your assumption that a hacker was poor, it seems irrelevant, but you must not assume that if the hacker is able to steal 80 out of 1000 people then now he has 80000 and that is not a low sum.

I will assumed it's not ETH that is hacked but rather tokens. Looks like the hacker isn't interested in some of your tokens. Maybe because of exchange issues.

But anyhow, the issue here is your poor handling of your important belongings. You are being outsmarted by that "poor hacker" , it's a big slap on your face.

Next time take care of your important belongings so that you will not be proned to hack especially in crypto world.

What wallet was that? You probably used a phishing link or downloaded some suspicious software. Hacking a wallet isn't easy and a hacker needs some help from you to be able to pinpoint your machine. It's like looking for a specific grain of sand on a beach. Be careful your PC may still be exposed (it most likely is) and if you transfer more money to your wallets it can be stolen again.

This is most likely the reason he got hacked. It's difficult to hack most wallets, for you to be successfully hacked, you would have given the hacker the tools he needed to achieve his nefarious activity. And it doesn't matter whether the hacker is poor or rich, fact is, if he had more than that, he would have probably wiped him empty and he ends up loosing a lot. People just need to be more circumspect with their activities online as hackers are always on the prowl looking for some loopholes you've created.

Maybe he/ she need of 80$ alone. You are lucky at this time. You have to shift your coins from your that wallet to some other wallet.This is my small suggestion.Because they can easily hack your wallet in mere future.So the coins in your wallet is not safe from my knowledge.Don't delay for long.Who know he may encounter his second attempt by tomorrow .You are in near danger state.

We cannot say he’s poor maybe hackers still thinking about the owner of that wallet. You still get hacked, that’s the point here so next time protect your wallet at all means. Hackers will find ways to come with us, we must be ready for that so we will never become a victim.

Well, it is not mandatory that the hacker is poor. You think that the hacker hacked your yourself by handy but I can suppose that you was hacked by a program I mean something like a trojan horse or other type of a virus. I am sure that the hacker did not  hack specially your wallet he was likely received the requisites from your wallet from a special virus program which hacks any wallets if it can. Having the secret requisites from your wallet the hacker just steal such an amount which it was on your account.  So the hacker may be not poor as you think

That's right, it would be better if you will create a new wallet since it was hacked by someone or a program. Yes, OP might entered his/her info in a website thats needs wallet address(mostly for phishing attempts or airdrops). We have to be extra careful when it comes to our crypto as people nowadays will do everything just to steal or earn money from someone.

Not because the hacker was only able to hack $80 or $200 that doesn't mean the hacker is a poor hacker. Imagine if the hacker was able to hack 10 wallets in a day and 5 days in a week, does that make him a rich hacker? There's a lot of wallets lying around out there being neglected by owners thinking that it doesn't have much Bitcoins stored that hackers will not have an interest in forcing their way in and withdraw.

IMO he isn't a poor hacker but he is a hacker who has a sense of compassion towards someone else or even he deliberately doesn't take all the money in your wallet so you can be more careful to save all access to your wallet. I just anologize, he can bring all money in your wallet but not all of them. This pointed out that he successfully hacked all important documents to enter your wallet. You should be grateful, don't say he is a poor hacker.

Poor hacker simply because you are being hacked for just $80? every money is important and hackers will hack many people not just you. You're just unlucky guy who fall on his trap, then you're the poor because you cannot notice that one. Hackers is very tricky, and we must protect our wallet. If you don't want to get hacked by someone, better not to trust any one especially the links that is being sent to your email.

You are right in it hacking is everwhere so we must be aware it especially if we hold lots of coins and token in our wallet.  You know what your experience is really alarming.  We dont need to disregard this issue because it is not a normal situation even they stole little still we can called also as hacking.  And remember everything start with little and maybe just for now they will only steal little but if the time comes they will learn to hack more.  That's why it is alarming.  It is unfair for everyone of us.  We are all working hard here so we must be fair. But we cant do anything about it this is not their mentality.

I have an experienced also similar to yours, my wallet was also hacked by hacker but he only hacked a non value token. He put an ETH to my account just for a gas but I thank God I monitor his move, I got the ETH he deposited and I transferred quickly the tokens there in order for him not to get anymore. So be ware of this situation if you find that somebody deposited an ETH to your account it means he has the plan to hack your tokens.

Crime is crime, no matter who commit it needy or professional. If a poor hacker hack your account will you leave him? If somebody is poor why he choose a way which is illegal for making money. He can use legal sources of earning money. If is not good to destroy other people for your needs. If I found a hacker that hack my account I will kill him.

I always describe a friend of mine as a poor hacker. He got the chance to getting my private key to my wallet. Amazingly, he stole all my tokens and kept them in his account that I also have private key to. So funny  :-*.

I am not aware and understand the link or what I have downloaded. because the past 6 months I was a bit rare to work on crypto. because I'm sure my wallet is safe and won't be hacked so I'm calm but after I check it turns out there is something missing

I don't think that hacker was poor, maybe he's not smart enough to complete the entire transaction or maybe he's a generous hacker who decided to leave you a tip lol. I think now you should figure out how your wallet got hacked, make ways to secure it. I would suggest 2fa and using Electrum wallet, keep on changing passwords regularly. Well to make up for lost coins I would suggest you to buy and hodl for the long term.

if it has been hacked like that immediately make a new wallet, so rest is safer. i guess hacker hasn't finished processing it. and it is necessary to remember what your mistakes were until they could be hacked, it was for lessons for all of us

Yeah you are right I agree with you. Hackers are not good no matter he is poor or rich. As it is said that late is late one minute or one hour, the same is here that hacker is hacker no matter poor or rich and crime is crime big or small. Scammers and hackers looted unlimited innocent people. What about those small investors that invested all their money?

Witches of many of those who use bitcoin are hacked. I'm not saying bitcoin's security is less than that. But someone's wallet has been hacked. One of them is the poor hacker. Those who take less money. Suppose your $ 200 and hacker hacked on $ 80

I agree, today they have earned on someone else's grief, and tomorrow someone will throw them. The universe always puts everything in its place. and do not worry about the fact that you can not change.You can only prepare better that the next time this does not happen

stay strong my mate, i hope you will get better than that
there are many hacked case, idk exactly what the causes. but luckily i never get hacked thanks god

Hacked or scammed? if that person compromises your wallet completely, knows the private key and some important information such as passwords and email then the hacker should not get any trouble getting that $200 worth of ethereum or tokens as it is easy to set gas from that amount of Eth or he can easily send gas to that wallet to get the remaining tokens if that wallet contains that, if that's the case then its time to change your wallet and be careful next time both from scammer and hackers.

Do you know how they were able to access your wallet?  You were lucky to only lose $200, but I'd now be paranoid about your entire computer and things like undetectable keyloggers, trojans, or other things on your network.  Secure your system...

It's probably you are very poor, and he decided to leave you at least some kind of kapeck, that you would not be so upset. Kind hacker.

it is still a very unpleasant situation and we need to protect our money better those it is hard to protect it from evrywhere

hah i would like to meet such kind of hacker he is like robin hood well anyway i am glad that at least something was left

Not the fact that the hacker was poor, most likely he was pursuing the goal of transferring certain coins, but just gas was not enough!

I think he may take the token that is easy to sell,but if he have high skill he should take all the contents inside the wallet. Or maybe there is another purpose that we don't know but clearly people like this will get karma. May we always be careful because if we are already working hard and token being hacked it's really sad.

It becomes the hackers of people push the same motives as in crypto, first of all it is a lack of money. Hackers are the same people as us, but they grew up in a different environment.

I think the hacker don't have any idea how to set optimum gas limit and gwei. If the hacker only know, then not a single dollar worth of crypto would be left or even all the shitcoin in your wallet will be stolen for a little amount of eth.

You don't understand, the hackers or so-called thieves will take anything as long as they have a way to take it. 200$? How about I tell you a real-life story about a thief for a mere 5$.

I once got hacked too. But probably because I got fished by a ether delta or my ether wallet scam site. I entered my private key and someone stole all of my tokens
Lucky I only got a few ethos tokens that were worth less than 100€ at the time....my only consolation is that those tokens are now worth like 10 dollars ahahah so, in the end the hacker got rek't by my tokens. I am much more aware now, of websites and phsihing sites

Sounds funny but i think the hacker might be poor, due to he is stealing something in an illegal way, but it will made him rich if he hacks a lot of account. But if you are trying to say that he was a poor based of what he done, his gonna pay it in the hereafter and suffer what he stole here.

Sorry for your loss. But the fact that you were robbed for amount of $200 doesn't mean this hacker is poor - what if he has one Ethereum address with $200 hacked in a day monthly he will have $6000. One Bitcoin in month, that is not "poor" income. So don't count hacker's money - maybe better spend time to increase the security of your assets

is there evidence that karma will work on the internet? You are hacked because ignorance and self-blame leave something vulnerable to hacking without protection.

I can't understand what you are saying exactly here, what is gas has to do with hacking wallet and selling later how can someone hack you and will steal only $80 out of $200 you have i am lost with your explanation.

Poor hacker or not, a thief would always be a thief.

Lucky you that you don't have millions of ETH on your wallet.

Negligence of the OP can be pointed out but a hacker is always a hacker and karma is everywhere.

Not a bad loss, but still it's a loss. Maybe that hacker havks many wallets and not just yours so havking $80 is not bad for him also. Next time be careful in opening your wallet because there are many people who always want to leverage on our accounts.

I think you don't need to be upset. It's only $200, not $2000. Be glad you got off easy :D

It's very sad, it is necessary to take any action, and suddenly you were there millions? You would have lost your money. No matter how much money was not on the wallet, as soon as there is danger of cracking, it is necessary to change the wallet or any other act for the preservation of their money.

this is a big problem of the whole market to me it seems. there are a lot of hacks and with this you need to do something

There is actually no other way to access someone's wallet unless the owner ignorantly ended up leaving it vulnerable and in that case, it can make it a lot easy for anyone to gain entrance into the wallet. I think so many people usually end up being a victim of a phishing attack, or probably, ended up being a victim of malware and all these is the reason why people should always try as much as possible to stay secured, so they do not end up being a victim.

I have never really seen any kind hacker unless it is just some hacker who really wants to just play with you or have fun with your emotions after already stealing chunk away from you. Moreover, the wallet actually becomes vulnerable as long as the hacker already have an access to it, so the best way is to simply abandon the wallet and go open a new one to start making use of. I wonder why someone would steal $80 out of $200 when he could have the chance to steal everything. Something sounds vague to me here though.

What a joke you had there. For a hacker to hack such amount. There no so called poor hackers and rich hackers only Hackers-no matter who they are or what they have. I have been hacked too and it was 800 dollars but who do I call for help? Most of the dumb people and starters like us are being hacked for the first time here in the crypto space. Scam and Hacked, tired of those things that is why learn from them. Either way just be very careful next time.

I feel there are many scammers or hackers who are really really poor. I was scammed yesterday for 25$, may be its his technique to scam lots of people with small amounts but its he/she had put the same effort in earning, he/she could have earned more than that easily.  ::)

fascinating story, i adore your luck. or probably the hacker was really decent as he decided take jusst what he needed, not in exess ;) anyway, enjoy yourself

haha Do hackers have poor hackers? However, the electronic money market is always vulnerable to hackers attacking and deceiving in every way. we should be careful

Be thankful that he didnt took everything.
Maybe it will be like an installment process. He might get back and take the remaining $120.
Send it to another account or else he will be rich next time by those large numbers. ;D

Disappointed situations, why does people have this intention with others. So as good one be careful in typing or double check your address before you click to aware of hackers. 

Recently Gagarin is becoming more sophisticated and there are many ways to steal your personal data. In any case, you need to be careful when entering into your purses crypto-currencies.

I don't know how you conclude that the hacker is a poor one, there are a lot of hackers who are making fortune from hacking if the one who hacked you is a good one he should have made a fortune, it is my believe that hackers do not want to be trace so he just want to get what he can get out of that wallet.

Sorry that you were hacked, it is always hard to lose money that you were hoping to get. i would not exactly say that it was a poor hacker though, there are always test runs when they are hacking and if they managed to hack your wallet then that means they are going to be successful hacking and taking out money. They were just being careful not to get caught

Be thankful that your money not taken all because that poor hacker is have a mercy to you maybe he think that if he steal all you money you'll be a poor one not him so be thankful to that hacker that he did not got everything you have in your wallet.

be thankful that your wallet has a small amount of altcoins, if the hacker see a lot of worth altcoins in your wallet, he will actually make an effort to take all of it. maybe the hacker disappointed with the amount he might get in your wallet that's why he didn't take all the altcoins in your wallet.

Being hacked on a small scale,  i think you got lucky as the funds stolen wasn't much,  but i guess you much have discarded the wallet. Well i experienced being hacked on an exchange because 2fa wasn't enabled,  the hacker used the eth on the account to buy a shitcoin he had placed on the market at a very high price, placed the coin on a sell at a very low price,  he did that until both the coin and eth was lost.... Aparently he was controlling another account with which he used to place the shitcoin on order at high price.... Genius but it pained me

Maybe you should be grateful because not everything was taken by the hacker. If everything was taken by the hacker you might cry of your losses.
Or maybe the hacker will come again to take the rest that the hacker didn’t take before. So be careful because the hacker know your security key is easily hacked by the hacker.

You should be careful with hackers who can steal your property. Hackers are more careful because their money is more sophisticated. I put my money in carefully-secured wallets.

It would be easy to hacked all those coins you hold by sending ether on you digital wallet. Well good thing that hacker did not even bother to take all your coins in your digital wallet maybe for some reason he has a lot of digital wallets to hack and do some trasfer of coins to his/her digital wallet. Good for you also that you were not able to be emptied by the hacker.

Funny dude, the reason for the hack was to steal from the wallet in first place man, that's the reward for his so called work, anyway this means something to you, it seems your data is no longer safe since he got access to your private key, even your mail am sure he can hack too, it's obvious you didn't store this security information properly that's why he gain access to your wallet.

$200 is not a small amount for a hacker to take, there are many that just try to sell stuff in the market place for $15 each and find as many victims as possible. If he or she can get $200 from 10 different wallets then it can all add up. Just ensure you protect it as best as you can

Curse all those cracker thief, all they done is using their abbility to do bad things that makes anyone else feel sad.
Just really hate people doing that kind of things.

maybe the hacker just used your eth balance to send token and because you don't have enough eth the other coins are not send out. and the hacker did not want to send eth to your account to send out the other tokens that is left. so the hacker did not lose anything but instead you are the one that lose some coins. this hacker maybe poor or maybe not but he/she is smart enough to hack you. so be careful next time to avoid being hack.

He cracked your wallet so he is probably done that many times and will be doing that a many times more, so I dont think he is poor. He is maybe cheap sob but somewhere he scores high somewhere low, point is that we are too vulnerable!

With how he did that, he can possibly do it with much higher stake, the hackers who already got a chance to crack some wallet will keep doing it again and again till they got something big and really worth to invest their time and effort, its really disappointing when things didn't comes up good when you are waiting for something then it's been hacked not because the amount is not that big but the time of wait and your expectations is really frustrating,.

Well, it has become an experience that is important to you, and it's possible that your personal key has been known by someone, so move all the altcoins that you have in the new wallet. prioritizing security for all, especially for hackers in phishing methods

I imagine being a hacker if he finds in your wallet millions of dollars, it's like getting a treasure.
immediately change your wallet or directly recover wallet data by changing the password, change email or whatever

The most important thing is to understand how did you got hacked and avoid that kind of behaviour in future.
Check if you did some of following:

• Did you go to MEW by using some link? (always type webapge address of MEW manually or use bookmark)
  
• Have you installed software form unverified sources?
• Have you pasted your private keys on unsecure webpage?

Second, remove all of your ETH to another wallet because hacked wallet is still compromised, and the rest of ETH can be stolen too.

You actually called the hacker a person because he stole only $80 from you right?. Had it been you have more than that in the wallet he will equally take all. What you need to do is to use a more secure wallet and don't expose your private key so that you won't be hacked anymore.

I'm always a little sad when I read the news that someone's been hacked. I make the effort and spend the time to earn enough one hundred projects Scam and zackery'll take the latter

Although he only gets a small part but what the hackers were doing already quite successfully. It's just that he's less so lucky so it does not get results as she had hoped. Perhaps this could be made into a better experience and will be very careful in your wallet. Lucky it was only a small part in the wallet.

you are lucky that you could save at least a piece of your wallet  ;). by the way you should check your computer i think. because if your computer is infected by some virus, your other wallets can be in danger as well.

Most problems unfortunately use phishing links. Many wallets are hacked due to negligence. I now try to be as much Carey as I can while searching on the internet

I do not have any protection on my pc and I have no issues with security. I think it is about links that you are clicking and applications that you launching. You should delete all software from your pc and run the check and then install it again. As for me, it is hard to hack a wallet.

Before reading this thread I was sure that storing money on ethereum wallet is much more safe than storing money on bank account, but now I am not so sure. However, I believe that none of thieves or hackers will be able to bass by my double verification.

Hacker will be hacker, they don't care about your coins value. Even if you have small amount of it, they will steal it.
I am very sorry to you but it is crypto world, we learn what mistake we have done and try to avoid same error in the future such as using more secure wallet from now on.

Sorry to hear about your loss. However, please share more about how your wallet got hacked so that other people can learn from your experience.

There are many articles about what you need not to neglect the means for safe. Unfortunately, many ignore it and later lose their money.

I think that hacker is working with a programme and the bot doesn't care how much you have on your balance. Once he got access to your wallet he will take out everything and all further coins that will come to your wallet will be stolen as well.

It seems to me that first of all, in order to secure your funds, you need to review your actions, because to a greater extent each user is to blame for the loss of their coins.

For now so many hackers are willing to stole some funds even it is big money or not atleast they will get it and earn from other peoples.

LOL that shounds funny though. But you should have been more careful with your security.
This just means that if you are hacked once then you could be hacked again.
One more thing, if such a poor hacker can hack your wallet just think what a professional hacker could have done.

LOL. Although it's $1 but he's still a hacker and let's see what will happen when you have thousands dollars in your wallet :). You should know that no matter if it's large or small amount of money, hacker will take it all cause it's easy money which they no need to work hard to get :).

Several days ago 65 million worth coins were stolen from the exchange. This is the problem that definitely worth attention. By the way, you should better watch your security, because you may loose even more tokens in future. Be safe!

He is more likely to be unlucky than poor. However, in modern world there is no way for you to get the money back and it is the thing that shoudl attract the most attention. I hope that reasons for hack was your fault, because probability of hacking my wallet scares me to death.

Sorry for losing you, hackers are a very painful problem, but don't worry, they might be smart at stealing, but they just wait for the moment they will be caught immediately for the crime they committed

Well, these stuffs happens in daily basis and you have to secure your funds, it's not easy to hack a wallet and send a % from your own money, you might have been hacked because you didn't secure your pc or you might have some keyloggers installed in your machine or you acted "in a stupid way".
Just learn from this experience and don't let other "poor hackers" get your hard earned money, sorry for hearing this story.

It's not about how much money you had in the account, because if you were hacked, then most likely you were somewhere not careful with your personal data and that's why you were hacked.

You may be fortunate enough in this situation. If the wallet that contains great value then of course what you have will be lost in time fast. hackers are quite successful in your wallet and paved it became a warning to be more careful because hackers have always had plenty of ways to get results instantly.

seems lack of money is truly the root of all evil ,you are very right ,I'm sure if he have more than that in his wallet then he would kiss his ETH goodbye ,my advice is if he still have funds left in there he better move it to another wallet and stop using the old one.

Exactly! The OP was trying to downplay that he got hacked. I bet the post would sound different if he had 1 million ETH hacked.

That's was weird story for me because the hackers have already access to your wallet and i was wondering why they or he has not took all of your ETH but hackers is hackers that they are just like a disease virus for cryptocurrency and whatever amount they stole but you should more carefully next time because this is could be an important experience for future reference

I seriously doubt in claims like that when exchanges publish them. I think they just are avoiding paying taxes, and easiest way is to claim that someone hacked you and stole everything.

Sorry about the hack, but you should be more careful with your PKs in the future. Also make sure the websites you go to are real to avoid Phishing...

And about them being poor, they'll take whatever is in any wallet. Whether they're rich or not.

Hackers are the cancer of the crypto. They are earning the biggest income by far.

I hope a better mechanism will be there to put them into the jail.

It is unexpected and sad thing.You should take a necessary action. You were a millionaire here but suddenly you would have lost your money.No matter how much money you have already lost,you should change the wallet and other act soon to protect your money

On the internet, there is almost no one whom I can trust. It seems everyone will take chance if he gets enough power. That's why we need to be more aware of this kind of stuff. Otherwise, we will lose huge because there is a huge smart hacker over the internet.

How do you know that they are earning the most in this market. I think only a small number of all hackers can earn, and of course they earn a lot from scamming users from the ETH wallet.

There is no such thing as poor hacker even if they did not get a lot of your wallet that does not mean that they were not successful. Just the fact that they got into your wallet shows that they know what they are doing and will be able to get into someone else's wallet. It sucks to be hacked so be thankful that they did not make off with too much of your coin

I do not think it was hacking. I remind you that phishing and other methods of extracting personal information are not hacking, this is just a scam/fraud. I think that there was a mistake on your part.

Next time beware of your wallet and also take care your wallet so that you may avoid those hackers. It's not a poor hacker or a big one because you was hacked a $80 although it was a  small amount only but what if you hacked a large amount of money so better to take care of your wallet and also your private keys.

Maybe this hacker wasn't poor at all? Maybe it was a polite hacker that just borrowed some of your money. Exactly as much as he needed. Not more.

so sorry to heard u been hacked, im wondering how this happen to u? is your pw too easy to hack or it is someone u know hacked u? u seems neutral emotions on this

Basicly scammers take the most luqid tokens and no matter how much it worths. It takes 1 minute to open your Mew with private key and send all tokens to a new address.
Don't blame on him, better improve your security

You should report this to police and expect them to recover funds from your wallet. In some cases, they have got success with this.

I feel sorry to hear your loss guy, but fortunately that hacker is not too bad because he’s not stolen all in your wallet. This is the first time I’ve heard such a interesting phrase “ poor hacker”. This small loss is probably a good warning for you, because I think from this experience, you will be more careful and cautious about your wallet in order that you can defend your wallet better. Almost all hackers are pretty active and flexible, if they keep an eye on your wallet, definitely you are in a bad trouble, so be careful dude.

Or maybe he saw you have $ 200 in the account and decided that you are poor and did not want to steal all your money :P. Maybe he was waiting for you to sell the coins profitably. In any case, what hackers do is very bad.

Maybe you are hacked using Phishing site or you entered your private key to a form when doing a bounty, you learned a lesson don't trust all the website you enter and don't expose your private key, $200 is a huge amount of money.

There is no such thing as a poor hacker you are just lucky that he left you something maybe he just pity you or just in a hurry and don't want to add funds for gas because he can hack another account that's your consolation still giving you a portion of your funds.

This is the most meaningless assumption i ever heard. The amount hacker hacked doesn't show he is rich or poor at all.

Hacked by some hacker is always depressing, in your case you are feeling sad for hacker that is something strange. It is your hard work money which you should have earned by working for hours. We should be conscious to safe our wallet at any cost. It is warning for you as your wallet is at hackers eye & he can steal more money in sometime.

maybe it is your misfortune, it is very difficult to say you are in an area of disadvantage, but in my opinion you have to stay motivated, there are still many mysteries in this cryptocurrency space

the wallet is actually hard to hack, in fact I think the percentage is only 0.1%. who is in full control is us, of course we only know the private key / mnemonic of the wallet. so in my opinion it's also your fault in securing a private key. This sensitive thing also happened to me about 1 year ago

Every wallets out there are definitely strong and secure.
Regarding his case, it looks like he previously visited a phishing site where he accidentally entered his private key.

Sorry to hear that such bad thing happened. But you need to be more careful with your private keys and stay away from strange websites. Just install a good anti-virus software and always be aware of sharing your private information in the web.

I'm sure you are the poor one here bro, since he already has an access to you what i still don't understand why he's a poor hacker, or do you dash him your private key yourself? you are the one who need to be more careful about where you goes around with you wallet access. Imagine all you have there is more than that and assuming he also got away with 40% of $10K will you still call him a poor hacker.? he's only trying to be nice i think

Maybe you should be grateful because not everything was taken by the hacker. If everything was taken by the hacker you might cry of your losses.
Or maybe the hacker will come again to take the rest that the hacker didn’t take before. So be careful because the hacker know your security key is easily hacked by the hacker. (http://rumahmu.com)

Lol! Hackers steal everything they can and they wish to. I dont think the hacker that hacked your account is poor. Yours maybe his 100th account hacked, he just happened to find it easy to hack probably. Well, 200$ can be a residue income for him. Next time be careful not to be hacked again.  :)

A hacker is a hacker no matter the amount stolen. The aim is to steal from you your hard earn coins and he has achieved that.

I don`t think, that all hackers are poor people, maybe it is a full-time job for him and everyday he hack many wallets, so it can be a good sum of money in all.

And I think hackers are carried away by the desire to hack and steal. They're so self-affirming. It is ridiculous to say that they steal money because of poverty.

I believe that there can be only 2 possible reasons.
Or you were hacked by a social engineer, or some newcomer, for a real hacker would have pulled every penny.

Sorry, but I do not understand what are you want to tell us. If you have around 200$ in Ethers, he was able to withdraw everything because gas is paid in Ethers, so I do not understand that why are you talking about not enough gas for transaction.

It's really funny. It seems that bad times are experienced not only by hunters and investors, but also by hackers.

I think this story is no longer about a bad hacker, but about a failed or unlucky hacker. He could have gotten into any other account.

To you #80 dollars might be small money but for the hacker it might be big money for the hacker, I think the important question is how was the hacker able to hack into your wallet, maybe you should share with us so that we can be more careful.

Do I just heard you calling that a poor hacker.. Lol you joking right, since he's able to hack into your wallet he's no more a poor hacker what if he has taken all the coin in there will you still call him poor,
You will only said you were been hacked and that wallet is no more yours you guys both share it get a new one and send the remaining token. Just be careful

It's another reason to invent modern counter measures! Hackers activated few years ago, as they understood that crypto sphere can bring them a lot of money...

Frankly speaking, I think that the majority of people who are hackers today are more likely to show steep steps to identify bugs that will help improve systems in the future, but it is expensive, but we need to develop.

This is a very unpleasant situation that happened to me about a year ago. Now I am actively engaged in the protection of their funds, use separate e-mail addresses for exchanges, wallets and so on. I also store tokens on my hardware wallet. To avoid such hacks in the future, I recommend you to do the same

One wallet - $80, hundred wallets - $8000 because phishing strikes not only a single wallet but almost all who took the bait. I was phished a year ago for nearly $850 and looked at the bastards wallet where $25000 of valid tokens were displayed.
I was amused more than the criminals wallet was connected with the wallet with more than hundred grand.

I agree, but it seems to me that there is a possibility that you will still be hacked. I think that all security today is based only on trust and if hackers have to get you coins, they will still do it. Therefore, today security is clearly not 100%

Directly not Hacker, but Robin Hood. Stole not the full amount, taking care of the owner of the wallet, so that the owner is not very offended. I also had a case of hacking a purse, a crook stole one strong coin, and a month later he took the remaining coins. It was very disappointing. I hope he will pay for the theft.

And you did not think about why all the same he could hack you and how did it happen? Because it is very important for security in the future, because today it is a very broad problem of violating the security of wallets.

it will be an experience for you. good thing you didn't lose even more of your coins. from now on you will know how to protect yourself when it comes to a large amount of money

The hacker was poor or he is just  Robin Hood, we do not know. What we know is that your protection was really poor
if the hacker could manage to have your private key. Maybe he will come back later when there will be more coins in
your wallet , so make sure that not happens and protect you funds properly.

It's so sad to know about that, the hacker is indeed a poor hacker, because an advance hacker will send more eth to the address and move all the tokens on the wallet, you should be thankful he left some tokens for u.

Regardless of the amount of money that the hacker stole from you the fact that you lost money to him is very worrying you need to begin to try to tell how that happened and begin to take measures to try to make another attack against you impossible, because what are you going to do when you finally become successful and make a lot of money and then you lose it all because of the same hacker?

I am concerned about what happened to you. As a crypto currency player who plays on the market, my advice is that you really need to pay attention to the security of your wallet account. I know your movement to open your wallet is so high that you have to make various prevention so that a hacker will never be able to hack your wallet. Yeah, the incident has become porridge. Now you can only learn from experience and make new strategies so that you don't become hacking victims. You can read tips in the thread in this forum about how to avoid hacking. I've shared it there too.

This is unusual that hacker did'nt take all the coins from the wallet. Better take some precautions as he might be back later to take the rest from your wallet. It might be some kind of his strategy. Use hardware wallet only for your digital coins to keep them safe.

I feel sorry for you but the hacker is indeed poor because he hacked your wallet, even only $80 from it.
You need to use more secure wallet to protect your coins in the future.
If you are using MEW, i suggest you to using other wallet like jaxx or metamask.

I don't think that your account is what they were actually gunning for, it could be that the hacker just used your account as a way to test if what they are doing is working before they actually moved on to the account that they want to hack. You should be happy that you did not lose too much from the coins when they hacked your account, others are not so lucky

There are cases when even after registering with an account I notice after a while visiting from other ip-addresses. I can not understand how this is done or this administration is abusing its capabilities.

The amount you lose to a hacker has nothing to do with the wealth that the hacker has, what if that hacker hacked hundreds of people for amounts similar to that? Suddenly the hacker has tens of thousands of dollars at his disposal from a single hack, forget about such things and concentrate only on how to secure your coins which is the most important thing after you have been hacked.

All of the hackers were the same. Glad that the hacker did not take all of your funds. You are still thankful on that. But next time, try to be more careful on your account to avoid this kind of incident.

It is a difficult time for any cryptocurrency enthusiasts, so hackers steal even such a small amounts of money. Anyway, it is a good lesson for you - you should pay more attention to the security of your funds.

Creating a topic with a loss of $ 200 is ridiculous. Now the most important hacker is a bearish trend that collects millions from all wallets. So I see no reason to discuss this.

Well I what I would say is that most of the hackers are poor I think because they lack conscience and that made them poor and not because he only stole your $80. But anyway better transfer what had left in your wallet and never use it again coz he will surely come back to get all that's in it once he load enough eth to consume for the gas.

I guess this hacker was in a hurry or doing this job for pleasure. I don't think he's a poor guy, he's already hacked your wallet.He could emptied your whole wallet if he wanted.
