what can I do to stop it
I have no evidence

the hacker's address is  0xEEBbC9888fD8Ec5dFC267a915664780c8fa66426

My address is 0xd125a58b966dc8bdf10489fd910ca929934a0dbc

It happened in Jun 6th

I guess I download a virus altcoin wallet and the hacker found my private key in my desktop

Unfortunate. What wallet did you actually use in the first place? Also, where did you store your private keys?

Instead of quitting, hopefully this becomes a lesson for you to do your research(especially in cryptocurrency security) before actually putting your money into cryptocurrencies.

Name this wallet so that everyone will be warned of avoiding this wallet.

Sorry with your losses but learn from this experience and don't download anything suspicious and unknown wallets.

What wallet did you download and why didn't you scan the wallet first before using it? If you had scan it and know it's a tampered wallet then you prevent this from happening. I don't think you can do anything to recover it, just be careful next time.

This is not Bitcoin related. Check here: https://forum.ethereum.org/

This virtual currency is such that once its gone there is no way of a reverse or refund like any other platforms like paypal. I myself have suffered a blow when the Mt Gox fraud happened way back in feb 2014 and i lost almost 8 BTC which i had purchased at a market rate of 350$ per BTC. I still feel the pinch today pal as it would have been so much more worth today. So learn to live with it and from next time be alert and careful when you deal in BTC my friend.

What ? You stored your private coin on your desktop ? It could be anyone who borrowed your pc, and copied your private key.
You should store your private key on somewhere safe place other than your desktop. At least somewhere in the deep folder on your computer, not desktop.

Sad news. And we are very sad for it. But the fact is that there is rampant incidents of hacking and scamming. But it seems no authorities are concerned about it. I have heard BiteBTC exchange is openly scamming traders out of thousands of dollars. But no action is taken against it so far. As for you, I think there is no way out unless authorities take some steps.

What you can do now is nothing, but in the future you can prevent it to happen again, my style is that i store my coins in our local country exchanger, which is hard for international users to accessed it, which is low probability of being hacked, storing in international wallet is prone for hacking as all crypto users can hacked if they can find a method, or you were able to provide them such delicate details, next time be more aware of the files you downloaded.

there is nothing you can do unfortunately. Your private key has been compromised due to the fact that you were not careful. The only thing you can do now is get a new wallet and get a new life. You can't stop the hackers now

Sorry. This is really terrible. No one is immune from fraudsters. It is necessary to keep funds in different wallets for security purposes and to check all your funds every time. You also need to be careful and attentive.

What particular wallet have you downloaded?

I think you downloaded a wrong wallet, actually I don't download wallet, every time I have ETH or ETH tokens, I just stored it in https://www.myetherwallet.com/, for years I've been using the site, and I never get hack as I know how to take care of my private key.

I do not think that you have any options untill the hacker himself refunds you and i also agree with other members here that you should post the details of the phishing or malware/spyware wallet that stole your details and private keys, it will be great service to the community as we can report thag wallet and save others from loss.

sorry butyouhaveno chances of getting it back. Also you should know that you have lost the wallet entirely since the hacker has your key. The best option is to forget the wallet, get a new one and then protect it from hack

Sorry, but there is nothing you can do to stop the hacker if he has already transfered the coins to a new address. What wallet did you use to store your ETH? And what altcoin wallet do you suspect was the trojan virus? You can put thoses informations in the scam accusation section.

If your wallet have any balance just move all of them into freshly created wallet and store the private key of the wallet in hard written format not in online drives or in your desktop.But the lost amount is lost,you can't recover them since once the transactions confirmed are irreversible,this can be a good lesson for you,next time please be aware of wallet you are using and learn how to save from hack attacks.

Very unfortunate of you, there is nothing you can do on your asset already. Next time you must be aware in that matter, its a lesson learn for you to be careful. And how did the scammer took your private key in your desktop ?

Tip: Next time save your private key in your gmail or email address to be secure.

i'm really sorry to heard about that
seems there is only one assets in your wallet now, and your last ethereum already sent to the hacker wallet
i think, you should be more careful my friend,, and do not download any unknown link or software in the internet
i hope everyone will learn from your experience buddy

There is nothing you can do to stop it. It is over for that address which is already empty.

Open a new address and act with more caution.

If that happens then it cannot be stopped because we do not know what time the hacker is sleeping and doing nothing, it is better to replace the wallet and assume that the hack is not your fortune, and be more careful in the future so that not arbitrarily making import wallet into a less trusted site, this is a valuable lesson for you.

I am sorry for your loss truly. There are so many phishing attempts in crypto world so every investor should act more carefully. How much did you lost , hope its not that much.

There's no way for you to stop it since the hackers already have the access to empty your wallet with your private key, it will be a hard lesson to learn
from this industry, your should first focus with the securities and safeness of your assets before you proceed much deeper.

One mistake would not the best reason to quit but instead a guide for you to tighten up your knowledge and continue your journey.

Virus altcoin wallet? where did you get that altcoin wallet you did not post the link, it's very important this is to warn others and at the same time check if this really coming from that altcoin wallet or someone got access to your private key through a phishing email or some has access to your computer.

Very sad. Why have you downloaded that altcoin wallet and what's the name. There's nothing left to do from your side. I request you to create a scam accusation to protect other users.
This is a shit stupid forum. Users have to submit lots of personal data in order to create an account.

I'm guessing you're a victim of phising site of myetherwallet be careful next time dont download anything because transcations cant be reverted

Email address is an unsafe solution and should not use the private key to log in because it would be risky for your property. When you create a new ETH account, there will be many options for you and you should only use Keystore to ensure the best assets because very few people are attacked in this way. It's best to follow my way because keeping the private key is never safe in this market

There is nothing you can do, you can only let your ETH disappear, I can guess that your ETH loss is caused by you clicking the Phishing link on an Email, Telegram or on other social media, I once lost my ETH because I was stuck with duplicate Myetherwallet link (Phishing Link).

How could that happen if your keys are still in your device, thats not possible on your "suspected virus wallet" that you downloaded, I think you are using a new wallet and then you just import your private key in that particular wallet, thats why you are hacked. or someone has use your device and uncover your private key lesson to learn stop using untrusted wallet to avoid this hacking incidents.

Somehow you've been hacked either through Trojans or phishing ,what is the name of the wallet you install ? Is the wallet setup from a trusted source ? This is why I hate using windows wallet they are too risky than any other platforms

This incident must be a very valuable lesson.
You may not arbitrarily download a wallet application, because it will endanger your assets, hackers will do anything to be able to steal the assets you have.

OMG if hacker found your Privatekey that mean no one we can do.
it is happend to me too, i fill google form from spam email and fill my PK too and than all my asset is send out to hacker address.
i try to contact official MEW team but no one can help me because he get access.
i am so sorry for that.

If you let others borrow your computer, cause even me I put everything in my PC and just have a back-up copy of them in a case for some emergency or if my PC is damage.  There is no wrong with that, it is all about how we keep it safe from the hand of others and not letting others touch your PC or laptop.

What happens to OP, its gonna be a lesson and learn for him and for everyone. We have that awareness at this forum but sometimes we've got mistaken.

I think you have let the virus get into your computer. That is the worst. I witnessed a lot of hacks and I decided not to download any strange applications to stop the viruses there.
This is also a lesson for you and you should have your own laptop for work only.

It's really sad because the chances of getting your funds back are really low and near that, you can't really have it back again. I suggest you buy another computer where the only thing you can do there is cryptocurrency related stuff. It would be safer and I would also suggest you download MetaMask because it helps a lot with countering these phishing sites.

Huh, happened and happened again. It seems like a scammer has inserted a lot of malware on every internet program, I'm sure you downloaded and opened the wrong wallet so that the scammer can control your computer. So be careful when downloading something on the internet, if what you download is not from an official site or popular site, I have been a victim of malware like you.

And when this happens, we are here no one can help you, I can only give advice so that you are more careful when downloading something on the internet from unknown sites.

There's a lot of hackers that's been hovering around that's why it's important to secure your funds and your private keys somewhere safe I suggest a hardware wallet/physical wallets will do and also you shouldn't just be downloading any software online or wallet without doing a research or study about it. Now you've learned your lesson but we can't help you to track who's behind that hacking.

Yet, it is related to ETH. This forum here is a Bitcoin forum. You wouldn't ask for a waffle receipe here either, would you?

phishing is a very common hacking Ethereum wallet , I think you need to install a plugin that protects against phishing sites , it is also better to put in the tab wallet

You can do any thing just reinstall your pc or laptop window and make a new MEW account or create in metamask wallet .

You downloaded the wrong wallet with injected malwares thats why it penetrated your system and stole your private keys, may I know what is the name of this wallet? Dont ever download into not trusted websites only use official websites from the developer there are too many viruses and malwares today stealing private keys be safe always.  

Very unfortunate that happens to you be aware the installation of application or the incoming site that uses a very important key. So as to avoid the trap of hackers, if you receive email also be careful of the sender.

This is definitely not unstoppable as well as refund. just the next time you need to be more careful and use only checked wallets

It's your fault, good wallets are recommended on daily basis here in the forum, it's carelessness on your part to have downloaded an unknown wallet, that was how the hacker accessed your private key, i hope you have leant your lesson there is nothing you can do about it.

Then your computer need to be scan with your anti-virus if you think it's because of the wallet that you downloaded, next time you should be aware what you download.

I understand such things can discourage anyone and sorry for your loss. You can not do anything to get back your ethereum but you should learn the lesson from this incident always use the genuine antivirus in your system so that it can detect any virus instantly if you bymistake clicked any phising link. Keep your private keys at safe place do not keep it in your system. Now create the new eth wallet and do not use the hacked wallet again. So always becareful while clicking any link from unknown sources.

I understand your pain but the truth is there is nothing you can do about this now. You gave the scammer access to your wallet details unknowingly. This happens when you visited phishing sites or partook in aidrops asking your to access myetherwallet through google forms.
As crypto enthusiasts we must remain vigilante and be careful with our wallet details.

What wallet do you use? I suggest you to use a trusted ETH wallet, and don't use apps on your gadget, because it's very dangerous

It’s sad you can’t get your ETH back. You should have checked the review and rating of the app you downloaded before using it. There is always a red flag from these kinds of set up. Let’s be careful of downloading just any wallet.

you got phishing. now there are so many modes used by hackers, I have experienced something similar that is by downloading my game application and BTTC missing. You have to be more careful about hackers, and when it's hacked I don't think I'll be able to return.

I don't think you will have the chance to secure or withdraw the stolen assets, because when your assets are out of your wallet you will never be able to come back again.

The hacker seems to be smart because he don't left so much of trace which will make him vulnerable but it will be better if you can tell us where you actually download the wallet cause that might trigger how to find the hacker.


You're right, the discussion was actually not bitcoin related but cryptocurrencies and the last time I checked this was altcoin discussion thread. Besides, this was what the forum moderators say about this thread.

https://i.imgur.com/jixvGot.png

you're right. this is plus and minus of blockchain. You can be sure that if you send a transaction, it will come, but nothing can be returned.

also be concerned about what you have experienced, but sorry that the assets in your wallet will not be able to return. make it learning. but why did that happen to you? you seem careless when you want to access your wallet.

Create a thread.
Post a problem.
Then dont reply when asked for more information.

Yeah, we could help you when you are doing that kind of actions.
Just say goodbye to it and move on. Besides, it is just .7 ETH and I do think you could still acquire that in just 1 month of your salary.
Better to check your browser if you are going to the right website.
If you are using MEW or myetherwallet, better check the spelling if it is the right one to avoid phishing.

Sorry, but in these circumstances there is really nothing you can do.
Once someone gets a hold of your private key, that address is compromised forever.
Also, crypto was build to be transparent, as in we can see trasnsactions on the blockchain.
But in the end its all numbers, so it is pretty anonymous.
You just won't be able to track the person down and press charges.

It's hard, but it's best to look at how to recoup losses.
This can be selling off some of your other coins to start actively trading to make up capital.
To buying back in to reduce your overall cost per token you invested.

And it would be good to invest in a hardware wallet or just make your own paper wallets.

If your wallet is hacked then all the assets you have are lost, then you will not be able to return the coin or stop the hacking, even if you get the hacker's address then Tidka can do anything because the wallet address is not entered by the owner's name or  the hacker's biodata, so we just surrender

most likely you are very young and inexperienced bounty hunter. Keys cannot be stored on the computer with which you are doing your work, it is better to store them on a flash drive. But it will not protect you, it is better to spend about $ 80 on the ledger, you will sleep with him calmly

This is the more reason you should be careful when downloading altcoin wallets.. Russian and Chinese hackers are almost present in all telegram community nowadays

That is unfortunate. But why keep your private keys in desktop? I never keep my private key in my PC I have written down them in 2 diaries and keep them in separate places safely. Hackers can be anywhere. So you must be aware of your own safety of data. 0.7 ETH is quite big money in my country. Now you can't do anything about it. Take it as a lesson and be careful in the future.

Always make sure to verify the authenticity of a wallet before downloading it. Hacking is one of the major threats in crypto and you should be very vigilant. I hope you didn't lose too much funds from this sad incident. Take heart bro

You can not stop unless you can not make ownself more aware about crypto security. You should avoid all things which can be harm for your wallet. try to keep safe your private key and make sure you have 2fa security. Don't try to visit any site which require virus and malware.

You can't stop it. You only can track where your money goes and then you can report it on police, nothing more. But I do not think that hackers are stupid.

Unfortunately how much we try to be careful in maintaining our wallet, but hackers always have millions of ways to break into our defenses and if we are a little off guard, forget about what has been stolen may never come back again.

I am very sorry. But such is reality in crypto the world. It is necessary to be very attentive and careful not to lose all the savings. I faced a similar problem on the beginning of the way, but I lost very small sum.

Sorry for the damage. It's advisable never to google wallet and download links from google search results. It's safer to download from  developers website. Well don't quit Crypto, there is still a bigger hope. Try to format your system or get a new system and in future as you get worthy tokens. try and acquire a hardware wallet.  The money is already loss, except the hacker changes his mind and returns the stolen fund.

This is sad.  There is nothing you can do about it unfortunately. Most blockchains transactions are irreversible.
 Downloading wallets from strange websites is risky and storing private keys on Internet devices isn't safe either..
Hope you recover quickly from this

what wallet do you use so that we all know and i think that happens because you downloaded a virus altcoin wallet maybe it is a virus that makes your computer detected by hackers. where you download that software so that it becomes a learning for all of us. with this incident i think as long as you believe that your computer is safe then why do you download something that becomes suspicious in the end

Sorry for the damage. This is very sad. Its quite unfortunate we can turn back time nor get hold of the hacker but this should be a lesson of not sharing your password or key to anyone again. Dont trust anyone.

Everybody on the forum always reminds us that we should be very careful especially on our private keys. I think you just need to move on and be very careful next time. Thanks for sharing your experience so that everyone will be warned and everyone will know that there is really someone who is hacking on accounts. To the hacker, everything that we do always has something in return. That is not to scare you or anything. Just a reminder.

I downlaod a lot of altcoin wallet recently
some is reported as scam
I never thought hackere would read my txt...

Sorry to hear that mate, and that's how those hackers operate so just be careful next time. At least you can valuable experience here. Not to download anything that you see in the net. I'm not saying that you are greedy or dumb, but let this be a expensive lessons to you and to everyone who's reading this.

Most of the victims were hacked because of a hack that sent a virus and you unfortunately got it. Or maybe some ico fakes the web like myetherwallet and then sends the link to you. condolatory

Well you cannot do anything about it as there is no way to get back what you have lost from the hacker. That is why the safety of your information is your responsibility and protecting it should be your top concern.  So instead of you quitting the market I would suggest that you make is as a learning for you to protect your information a make necessary security measures, which can be applicable in real life.

That was the best thing you can do, transfer all the remaining amounts in your wallet, otherwise you could be zero in your wallet, because the hacker has the access to your wallet, just be careful enough next time, never entrust your keys to anybody else.

You can't really stop it because it was already done. Next time, make sure to set you account so safely so it wont happen again. And if you were thinking to quit on what happen to you, then its not the answer. Try to look again another project for investing like the dencoin token bevause as what the eth goodness is also the same with tje dencoin tokens.

I think one of your close friend or family member is involved as he/she has stolen your private key during using your pc, so always secure your important documents,keys and password. otherwise you will also loss in future your precious data and money.

This is called a worst day of your life and you cannot do something about it. an excessive joining on some unknown bounty will bring you to some death hole just like this one. we should be more careful when choosing some bounty to join cause most of them are just scam and some of them became so innovative that they can really stole some private keys while installing their wallets just as you said. Well! we always have a bad day in our life let's just use it as an experience and never do it again.

Without sharing your private it is impossible to steal your money because without knowing additional details it is impossible to the stole. Maybe whether the OP has given any authorization to the unknown in order to steal his ETH. Once we lost means we have to check the transaction from which wallet has the coin been transferred.

There are certain corrupt files that are deliberately sent to people, sometimes through telegram or email. Whenever they are downloaded, your system is already exposed. You should also know that downloading any wallet you have not confirmed to be authentic, is putting yourself and your files, !most especially your wallet in this case at high risk.

Very disappointing, I believe that nothing can be done. It is very important to use your personal PC only for trading or what you have done, and not install anything at all. I also use 360 total security, not advertising, but it’s convenient if you suddenly have a suspicious file when installing the same wallet.

You should be happy, it is experience and next time when you will become crypto whale, you won't make same mistake.
So learn this lesson and keep going!

Sorry to hear that mate, but unfortunately there is no crypto police or something like that, that would investigate your case. Try to keep your private information safe, not enter any fishing websites, and never give something via dms on telegram.

Sorry to hear that, fortunately your wallet don't have too much Eth, my advice is don't install unknown wallet in your main computer, maybe tried to use vmware to test any unsafe program, it's won't affected your main system secuirty, remember always keep safe your crypto assets.

Oh sorry buddy. Unfortunately you might have exposed your private keys or sign in phishing sites. I always recommend users to keep their funds in a safe wallet like imtoken , trust wallet. It is a better option than having to sign in your pk on a web wallet.

I also experienced the same thing.
my telegram was hijacked by someone else and there was my key there.
but what I know is that it can't be stopped unless you immediately move the contents of your wallet

The wallet you used might be tampered with. Or prolly, you didn't keep your private key safe. That's the two major reason wallet can be hacked. So sorry buddy.

Can you please tell us the type of wallet that you downloaded, which brought about your lost of fund. At  least, it might help others to evert such problem in future.
Imtoken and metamast are ERC20 wallets that are easy and safe to use,particularly when you cannot afford to get a hardware wallet for yourself.

I hope you can move the remaining tokens. Because there is no way to stop it if your private key has been found by someone else. MEW does not store our database, so it cannot return if our token or ETH is lost.

I would send all my tokens to other wallets as soon as possible so as not to lose the remaining coins that he has on his wallet

Police will not be  able to help in such cases because of the security issues on the Eth blockchain. It is almost impossible to recover the lost funds, just accept the fact like normal. Valuable lesson is learned in hard way.

what, why you can download something virus.
if he get your pk it mean they have full access to your wallet and no one can stop it.
it is hard but this is the true.
let's becarefull for all people here because our wallet is digital.

definitely this an unfortunate thing when you got your wallet to be hacked then your investment is also hacked by someone getting return from the fact person is very very difficult so it can little bit difficult for you.

for such cases giving up is the best way, nothing can be done and from there you can learn that phishing / malware can cause it to happen or maybe your private key / keystore is known to other people, maybe friends might be people around your life, to overcome this save in a safe folder and use antivirus that is strong enough as a precaution

Well, that happens on a regular basis. You have nothing you can do. There is no way to track this person. You are just another victim of scams. In this difficult games.

how hacked. can you share the details with the people here. get information to everyone, especially new entrants. no one should ever face such problems again.

If your Ethereum wallet has been hacked and your keys are stolen, then you can return them only in 2 ways. The first is that the hacker will return them to you, who hacked your wallet, voluntarily, the second, the hacker will return them to you for some other reason. There are no other options.

I am also concerned about this incident. You should keep your ETH wallet key outside your computer, or write it in a personal notebook paper. This hacking of case is very troubling. Never enter sites that you don't know, at least that's anticipating not to be careless.

You've lost very little. Enjoy this lesson, make the right conclusions. Increase security when working with cryptocurrency. Never neglect it. It is better to have a separate laptop and install Linux on it for operations with cryptocurrency.

Do everything to increase your security, it's very important to make good arrangement with your wallets make sure to learned more knowledge protecting your assets, as we know that there's always smart hackers that will keep chasing us in order to penetrate and sucked our money, inside crypto industry those who wanted to stay safe will always be updated in what will be the best way to secured their assets.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do with your hacked address, there is no way to return your funds. You should pay attention to the security of the new wallet in order to avoid such occasions in the future.

it is something that has been experienced by many people so you have to be more careful.
In addition to making a profit, we must take care of our assets because it is more important than profit.
so with this experience you have to be more careful because there will always be thieves in this world first in the digital world.

I understand how you feel because I had been a victim and truth be told, there is nothing anybody can do about it. The only good thing about this kind of situation is that one has learned a life lesson but in a bitter way. Just be more careful henceforth. Look for a very secure alternative to store your digital and crypto assets and be careful of the people around you. It is never the end of the world.

No one you can do again buddy.
If he get your private key that is mean he get full access for your wallet.
You can report it on official twitter MEW if you use MEW wallet to freeze your wallet.
Bit it not will bring back your token.

if your wallet already get hacked that can be back, if someone know your private key that mean its his wallet too.
so you mush create new wallet, even if you know the hacked wallet, you just can make report on him, to make everybody avoid that wallet.

It's not a scam but it's hacking. It happens on daily if you are not too careful of keeping yourself protected. The main lesson for OPs experience is to use wallets that are reliable and better in safekeeping just like hardware wallets.

Don't be gullible using untrusted sites and don't be too confident if you are not aware of these things such as phishing.

Seriously? So sorry to hear that. But I think that you cannot do anything for your lost coins. You should move to another wallet and make it a big secret. hackers know more than us and even we are careful, sometimes, they can hack our wallet easily. And as a result, we lose our cryptos at all.

Sorry to hear your loss, mate! It happened with me last year, I know the pain! You can't recover your hacked assets, sorry to tell this, but I haven't seen anyone who recovered hacked eth ever! Take a learn from it, buy a hardware wallet, please!

Is that myetherwallet or metamsk but I really don't understand how that really happened anyway you better write here your <<alt>> wallet name link and etc so other people wouldn't make the same mistake as you, thank you bro.

Hackers don't work like this! They have plenty of wallets! That Hacker guy just get his private key through the phishing wallet! Then, he moved only valuable assets to his wallet and he will sell later! Hacker doesn't hold or doesn't use one wallet!

i think you joined fake airdrop and provided your wallet address or privatee keys to them.remember private key is important so hold it secretly and dont disclose it :)

In the first place, you can't do nothing about what happened to your account address.
the only thing you can do for now is be careful and don't just easily download anything to your desktop
especially if you don't have any protection from your PC, and avoid phishing site too.

It's the possible cause of his loss.

But it can also be a phishing link where he typed his private keys because it was asked on that website with a form. And he didn't care at all if the site is a phishing link because it looks identical. This happened many times before.

Don't worry, mate. If your eth is hacked then you've made mistakes in your security. To my mind this is something like experience for you.
Yeah, you can do it to get experience

there is nothing you can do because hacking has already occurred you should replace the new wallet. my advice if you have made a new wallet don't use metamask because 4 of my friends have been hacked from metamask, this is the latest hacked that hasn't been fixed by metamask

It's a bad one but you get to move past it, I had a similar experience, I entered my private key in a phishing site and before second everything was cleared. Just brace yourself up and start afresh, Crypto offers a great deal of opportunities to recover

Sorry for your lost. According to https://ethplorer.io/address/0xeebbc9888fd8ec5dfc267a915664780c8fa66426 first transaction was on 1 June. Check announcement threads of the wallets you installed for that date and closest dates.

I'm sorry, but your coin won't return.
this is a bad experience, you have to find the cause and anticipate that this disaster will not repeat itself in the future.

Sorry about this but please stop downloading unverified wallets, there are many scam on Play Store and App Store.  Also please don't click any link you come across, some are spyware. I really hope you can get your ETH back but there is nothing anybody can do about it.

I hope the god will change your money if there is money on your wallet. For next time, keep carefully to save your privekey man. Don't klik any spam or unknown aplication

If your wallet is hacked again to create a new wallet, then your wallet will no longer be able to access your wallet because your funds are not safe and can steal it.

sympathize with you

henceforth be careful

I keep my keys very far

sometimes I can't find them myself

crypto currency security is important

I think you should check previous post by OP
OP download a lot of wallet and I'm sure that some of them include virus and keylogger OP Eth private key, but I think he don't have any mood right now because he already lost 0.7 ETH, no mood to filter which wallet include phishing virus.

I hope this incident will not be the reason for you to stay away from cryptocurrencies and be totally discouraged by it rather, let that experience teach you to observed best security practices to further safeguard your digital assets. Do learn from it. :)

Hackers are like a virus that will kill the good cryptocurrency. And there is really a strong action against such hackers. But that has not come so far it seems. There are widespread reports of exchanges being hacked and people being scammed. But why authorities concerned do not seem to be serious about controlling these illegal activities?

You can not do anything. Just forget about this address and continue to move on.
Unfortunately, many of us got into this situation. Just be careful in your actions on the Internet, follow the safety rules.

Be carefull brother, make it for your experience to not download suspicious aplication.
Always use the original wallet for ethereum like MEW or metamask.

Very bad time man and sorry for that your lossing money. In order to protect itself from the hacker, there must always be calm and not excited about anything.
I think you have to use the hardware wallet and keep key in a very safe place. Unfortunately, I want to say that you will be careful about the future and do not put your key any pishing site.

There could be some factors, not only just a downloaded virus in your computer.
If you were using private key to unlock your eth wallet, you might be have been phished.
Unfortunately you cannot do anything of it, once the balance sent, it cannot be reversed.

to prevent this hacking, better to use our jason file when we want to access our wallet.using private key really risky now since many phising link come to our email or other place.this is good action to protect our wallet.

if your ethereum wallet is hacked you should immediately replace or create a new wallet. and move the remaining wallet coins. just leave the hacked wallet. I've also experienced this kind of thing and made a new one.

sorry for you Once the transaction has been successfully completed, you will not be able to ask anyone to refund your money. Don't be discouraged, I have been hacked more than 12 ETH and I have been more careful about storing the coins.
You should buy cold wallet, Ledger Nano S and it will make your coin safe. Besides, never download strange applications, it carries lots of viruses.

I thought apple store is safe or not?
I am considering change a iphone s

Sorry mate your fault your private is know to the third party is better you much other coins from away from the wallet .

Thats nothing can do and make it a lesson and experience for you. Make a new one and make sure that is the real address of myetherwallet then bookmark it. Make sure you save your private key safely and if accessing myetherwallet, make sure you use the address that you bookmarked.

very good advice and besides checking your pc to know the mobile you have may be a virus or something else is still there and will come back to take your money

Much better if the user installed a strong security antivirus instead of letting go this kind of situation. Creating a new wallet for preventive reasons is definitely certain, but of the circumstances begins in the personal computer then maybe the computer is now in danger zone of the hacker that uses a virus type to intrude the system. Probably it's a hacking software that invades the system.

It means your wallet is easy to hack for the hackers, or you might just enter some of the phishing site were you've been trap in that site.
So, my advise with you is at once change the wallet eth address that you are using it now, better to create a new wallet, new password, and new private key, due to its safe anymore to use it again.

Unfortunately we cannot do anything on it. Because the etherwallet or MEW cannot recover your account. That is why they give us backup key in case we lost our account. You may be a victim for a scam phishing attack. Really sorry.

That's the point, there's nothing you can do other than cry for a minute, forget about it and keep going. Good luck man and take care!

Here is the answer for why it happened. This is some kind of madness. Download an unknown wallet that could easily be a virus, and even keep your private keys on the desktop,amazing mistakes.

Safety comes first no matter how strong technical background you have, there is always someone who knows better than you about the gaps of the personal computer. Hardware wallets are under $100 but these crypto rich guys don't even want to afford their satoshis for buying the Nano ledger. It has been discussed so many times about the safe HODL but some guys never learn their valuable lesson except getting hacked.

Even ETH developer cannot stop what has happened in ethereum network, your transaction is unable to be reversed back.
I suggest you to read more articles about cryptocurrency wallet security, so next time the hack won't happen again.

we have to really carefull with unknown altcoin wallet.check it first before decided to download it.is there any alternative to keep our wallet without downloading this app.maybe if any, we should save on there with more security have to set from our side.

Indeed you have no evidence in revealing hacking cases that you have experienced. You also cannot sue the perpetrator because the laws in the crypto currency hack have not been clearly and clearly regulated. We can only accept this situation and then call for other crypto currency players to be careful in accessing the wallet. Don't let us click or provide information on links that we don't know. Make the event an experience so that you will not experience hacking again.

Unfortunately there's absolutely nothing you can do really if your coins have gone.
But you can take some precautions to stop it happening again. For a start, never use that wallet again, create a new one. Then remember to never share your private key or leave it where someone can get it.
We've all had hard lessons in crypto, and I'm afraid this is one of those times.

Does not matter whatever crypto you have. Just stop using any wallet that has been compromised. I would actually even stop using the device I am and change to a new one. Change the wallet, browser, device, until I figure out what went wrong and how I was hacked. Most likely though OP was phished before and he did not realize it.

Talk and complaints about hacking cryptocurrency wallets were and will be. It is not only ETH-wallets but also others. Just MEW are very common and probably the most used in the network. Every owner of crypto-wallets simply must comply with security measures which have already been written a lot.

scan your desktop using an antivirus, make sure there are no viruses anymore and you have to make a new wallet because nothing can be done to secure your old wallet

Some of  altcoin wallet software are not good. Some software get access  to your desktop then he collect your all data. So carefully download any software..

well. unfortunately there is nothing that you can do about it. whatever gone is gone forever. there is no way to cancel a completed transaction in blockchains. you should be more careful in the future about your computer.

I think . Using Meta Mask I think there is a lot less chance of hacking. Therefore, we should use the etherium wallet using meta mask.

It is so sad that your ETH wallet has been hacked recently. I think your downloaded altcoin wallet has malware that hacked your private key. If you use any  safe antivirous, it would block that wallet from downloading. If i see my antivirous block or warn me for any wallet, i avoid that wallet basically any windows wallet is dangerous for PC. By the way, from now use Metamask by connecting your MEW and store your key or keystore file in a safe folder and use password for your pc.

I think your questions have all been answered. Of all the answers, I hope you can learn that do not carelessly download and install wallet without scanning antivirus first. What is unfortunate is that you save the private key on the desktop, the private key should be stored in a folder that cannot be accessed by others. Hopefully your funds that have been hacked can be changed to even more..
From this incident, one of the valuable experiences is that you do not carelessly open a website that is not clear or carelessly follow airdrop from an untrusted website

Its really sad to hear that . Your wallet is prone to hack if you private Keys is used to log in to the wallet .I always suggests Trust wallet to my friends, ever since i have been using the wallet , i never had any problem related to hacks and those i recommend the wallet to also dont have any complaint. It is good to have a permanent wallet instead on accessing wallet with Private Key online.

So many people are really falling victim of these fake wallets especially the mobile version of these wallets, I know some wallets that are just clone of the real ones and when you go on Google play, you could see the number of downloads they have add, now imagine what they would do to those people’s account.

What I do before ever using a wallet is to first of all verify the site of the wallet, after which I only follow the link stated on the site to download the original application, and one really needs to still apply strong security password and also ensure that the computer is safe and free of all phishing applications that could be spying on one’s laptop.

I change my Pc and laptop and put my old one aside.

Good. That's the thing you need to do when your wallet has a problem. That needs to be done as soon as possible.

maybe using trusted mobile wallet could be the solution.i often heard hacking in metamask, in last time my friend hacked in his wallet.he login using private key in metamask and finally lost his wallet.

hacked wallet is everyone's concern, when the wallet is hacked there is nothing that can be done because it will disappear forever, what can be done now is just make a new wallet and leave the old wallet

Your informed, You downloaded virus and hacker fund your private key on your desktop. i founded best hacker here, when can access your full PC on Disk C: and Disk D:
No, I thing you put your privaye key on phising site/wallet and hacker got your private key. true fact.

Admit the losses, its true that we can’t be undone those transactions. Don’t download all those suspicious links or anything because it can be a virus that plans to hack you. Create a new wallet and secure that one as if you have manys coins to protect.

I've found the cause on why you have been hacked. Can you indicate those altcoin wallets that you have downloaded so that we can warn and inform everyone here to be aware of those altcoin wallets.

OP is too reckless about this matter. What a waste of money youve done here. Why would you store your private keys on desktop and download an untrusted site? We cannot trace that ETH address that easy and if we trace it, we cant find the culprit at once. The other problem is that, maybe he come's from other country and that makes things much complicated.

I already experienced that and i dont know how ,so this things will remain a mystery on me but after that was happened i already secured my key specifically the private key and i put it in the safe place so i think you need to do that too.

It's personally person can't be save his own fund. when he always recheck and double checking before use it, it can be isn't hacked by phising site. This fact for keep our eye to opening and  what site we put private key to have knowledge about it.

right, don't ever download an application that is indeed an application that smells of virus, usually if the application is in the form of a virus, eating anti-virus will give a warning to the application, as experience, I used to download an application that is unclear and as a result my PC entered a virus , when I copy my wallet address, but when I paste the results it is not my wallet address, but someone else's wallet address.

That is a very sad news and we feel sorry for what had happen to you. We need to be very careful on handling our tokens or coins where we save our hard-earned crypto. It is really hard to identify the culprit wallet personal address, I guess you need to share the wallet you have downloaded so that we may be warned.

there is nothing that you can do unfortunately. whatever gone is gone. transactions in the blockchain are not reversable. you should be more careful next time. and try to use a non infected computer.

I am very sorry to hear that, in my opinion it is no longer possible to get your coin that has been stolen, my advice is to make this a valuable experience, for the future, you should be more careful in storing your private key, or never download the application suspicious, it will only bring viruses

If anybody tell you that it can be recovered it is blatant lie, the hacker would have traded it to fiat already, my advice for you is to move on and forget about it, your ethereeum is lost.

You need to clarify and confirm if the virus comes from the wallet that you've downloaded and what is the name of that wallet, this is to warn the community about this wallet, could it be that someone got access to your computer among your friends and got your private key there, you need to trace where it probably comes.

Unfortunately, 100% protection against hacking or stealing your private keys does not exist. But you still need to know how to protect yourself as much as possible. Regularly update the operating system, do not use suspicious services and do not download questionable files and documents to your computer.

Sorry about that. Can you tell us the wallet you were using when it was hacked? Also, where did you store your private keys before the hack? On your phone or pc? Or is it saved offline on a piece of paper?

Such an event seems to have become a common thing for cryptocurrency users, anyone would have experienced such a thing and if it's like that it's better to just leave it because it's useless to save it is better to make another wallet again.

It was too risky to just use any apps wallet or desktop wallet, you need to perform some background checking on the application or atleast it was recommended by trusted friends, colleague or forum before give it a shot.

Forget about your hacked wallet, create a new one and make sure to take care of your private key.

I am feeling so bad when I read how many people here were robbed by hackers. I thought that hackers are interested only in big offers and they do not care about common people.

That's gone for good. What next now is to plan for the future to avoid such incident repeating itself again. They are so many hackers waiting to hack any wallet, so it's left to the holders to know the right wallet to and how to keep the private key safe.

In such a situation when someone has access to your wallet, nothing can be done, all that remains is to withdraw the remaining cryptocurrency to another, new and secure wallet, and to be more careful and cautious in the future, this is a lesson for you.
Do not worry, I am sure that this is not the biggest loss in your life.

It really would be very sad if this was not the fault of the owner of the wallet. Everything looks very obvious to me. All our mistakes, inattention, haste, are very expensive in the cryptocurrency world. Especially installing third-party wallets.

Sorry,I sympathize. But don't blame yourself for the loss and for your mistakes. A professional hacker will always find a vulnerable spot in your security. My MEWwas hacked  too,it's was shock for me. I were careful, but I again had two new wallets cracked after trading in the ForkDelta and ETHerDelta.

Also concerned about you, the most important rule when you are online in the virtual world is don't arbitrarily download files because hackers have prepared their tricks to steal from someone through the internet, especially cryptocurrency wallet originating from an unclear source and pornographic films because hackers usually inject their viruses into files in the film. I hope this will be a lesson for you and we all to be more careful.

If he has taking or transferred out your valuable coins already, then there's really nothing we can do. Please take this as a lesson and store your private keys offline and not online especially without 2fA else you run a risk of hack

Indeed! He would not asked if he’s aware of the reason, he’s probably new to coin security, I also experienced losing some coins before learning how to keep my assets secured. Experience is a great teacher, indeed.

this is a bad experience. everyone does not want to experience this and always strives for their assets to be safe.
This thread should give tips so that this incident does not happen to other members. not just bullshit. The OP must go and lament the misfortune

I don't see you tell us wallet you has been downloaded, you only said hacker was hacked your eth but don't give us full information for helping you.
so right now we can only watching your address : https://etherscan.io/address/0xEEBbC9888fD8Ec5dFC267a915664780c8fa66426 on blockchain without do anything.

I can only advise you to hide the key away somewhere inside the folders that you will remember
I do it like this
on your desktop keeping your key is not safe

you better make a new wallet and give away your old wallet. if there is still a chance, move the token or coin in the old wallet to the new wallet. you should use a hardware wallet such as nano ledger for example.

This is so sad, but there isn't anything you can do to stop it, the best option is to get a new wallet and store the private key safely.

Pls what wallet did you download so we don't fall victim.

If your error is due to downloading an application that you think is a virus, I think the antivirus on your computer should work (if any)
But according to it seems you have been wrong in giving your private key to a website or to someone

Nothing you can do to save your coin/token from that ethereum wallet. But to prevent that hacker to hacking your wallet for the next , you can start to scanning your computer / pc using antivirus. Some hacker using malware and another virus to collecting their target data.

since its stolen there's nothing we can do about it because its already stolen . Next time try to use metamask for more security and always erase cache before shutting down the pc to avoid phishing schemes

yes, this is the main issue I think companies have to work how to make the wallet system much stronger and secure so that people feel safe to store their funds.

its very sad I also lost my MEW wallet we can not recover it,Sorry with your losses but learn from this experience and don't download anything suspicious and unknown wallets.

This is really traumatic, after earning or buying some coins, only for it to be hacked, I feel your pains, but the truth is nothing can be done, just move on but try to be safer so as not to fall victim again.

There's nothing you can do once it has happened. But obviously there are steps you can take to prevent it happening again:

• Don't use that wallet again
• Run anti-virus checks on your computer to clear out any malicious software
• Run anti-virus checks on everything you download
• Store your private key somewhere else, not on the same computer

Once the hacker has control over your private keys sadly there's nothing can be done after that. If the amount you lost is substantial than all you can do is involve the authorities but I doubt they can be of any help as well because of the nature of cryptocurrency.

Let's really be careful when clicking on links, some links are specifically to hack into us.
There is nothing to be done again now that the hacker has your private key, all you should do now is to start over but be very careful now.

Sad to hear, never store private keys in an insecure place. Also provided hacker's address can be any exchange address unless you are 100% sure about it.

My friend has lost a lot of ETH because his wallet was hacked, I think there is no other way to stop it because hackers in crypto are very difficult to track, create new wallets and provide double security is the choice that should be made.

Six months ago, I got a stiller. so he downloaded my keystore's from myetherwallet, pulled all the tokens and then even manipulated them, and I can not change anything - just watching )

It is true that if your wallet is hacked it is certain that nothing can be done anymore, besides replacing it with a new wallet and starting to be more careful of the experiences that have occurred don't do it again. in fact the wallet has been made in such a way that it is very safe, usually if hacked it can be ascertained because of its own mistakes.
make it a habit to use bookmarks and don't often open emails that have links if you are not sure that you know.
 

very rarely, the wallet was hacked, I think you have provided something important from your private key so that your wallet is successfully penetrated by someone else. be careful downloading something on the internet, because they will take your private key.

It is really horrible news for all crypto users. Many people use MEW to store Eth and other ERC20 based tokens. People also use other crypto wallets to store their asset. The scammer's theft the asset in many ways. The hackers use viruses and they can hack your wallet any time. So download a safe wallet and secure your device with anti-virus.

As a lesson for what happened you should buy a hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S, Trezor etc) to be sure this will no longer happen in the future.

Keeping your private key on your Desktop is not a safe option at all.

Hacked funds can't be reversed, what you need do is check what you did wrong then avoid it. On the other note, getting a hardware wallet is the best option to avoid further hacks.

It's really unfortunate but the Eth is gone and this is one of the reasons why I have a private wallet where I transfer my Eth and important token once I receive. I always stay far away from any project that request my private key no matter how legit they might be. Just avoid repeating the same mistake

Every fan of the crypt must learn that any loss of the cryptocurrency is 99% the mistake of himself. Cryptocurrency is not a bank Deposit and there is no one to complain about the loss.

You should provide people with the name of the wallet you used so that other people should not fall victim of a similar attack, I so sorry for your loss but it is not safe to store your private keys in your desktop, additionally, always make sure to download genuine apps, your fund's safety should be a priority.

Unfortunately, you cann't do anything after hacked wallet. Most of the time, i avoid downloading windows wallets as maximum windows wallets are full of maleware or virus. So be aware from now to use windows wallet, You can use antivirus software, it can help you to detect malware.

I think it is difficult for everyone to help you and also not be able to take legal action because there is no strong evidence, it might be a lesson not to access your wallet carelessly, I think this is a mistake you have done neglecting to keep the wallet key that

I don't judge you but consider this a lesson, I've also seen the same case like this and everyone left it as it is, if there are still funds saved you can move it

it was a disaster for Amdat, because no one would be able to return your assets that had been stolen by hackers.  Just make it an experience for you, from now on, be more careful in entering websites that you don't know, maybe you got hit.  start over, you have to move on again!

yes, it must be like that. indeed who should be responsible for our actions if not our own.
hacking or theft of assets in a wallet or exchange is something that is very likely to happen to us. being more alert is the best way.

One really need to be careful in this space and apply all the necessary precaution. It appears you must have entered a phising site through which your keystone file, mnemonics or private key was stolen. Personally I do not click any unsolicited link sent through my email and I ensure I back up my private key offline and do not store anywhere in my device and again having other wallets to share your funds so as to spread the risk

I'm one of those who got surprised for not remembering the name of the wallet, what if the wallet is a popular wallet, and we didn't know that there is a virus on it, it's really very important to get a hardware wallet in case your computer or laptop was compromised

I already have 3 friends suffered from hackers. You do not need to store your password and private wallet keys on computers; a good hacker can easily take possession of them.

there's nothing you can do about it.. your coin is gone.. next time be careful and don't download anything that you don't know about the application.

Been there before and it was really bad and now i will share something for you to be more safe.
Use your computer on the websites you usually visits and never download any new wallet on it.
Just do the trading and some stuff.

Have a spare of computer where you will do new stuff and download some.

Be more careful next time, that is a big lesson learned!

Which app did you download? You should tell us so that we would not fall into the same trap, it is a sad fact that many people keep losing their hard earned funds almost on a daily basis to these hackers, but the least we could do.is learn from the tragedy of another person.

I am so sorry for your loss. People should learn to stop clicking random links they come across on social media and Internet. This act will perpetually put you in the dangers of phishing and hack. Any unverified website is a risk to any cryptocurrency user

Oh this is heartbreaking. Please next time don't download unverified wallets, ensure you are very certain before downloading it. Provided the hacker took hold of your private key and moved your funds, I'm sorry nothing can be done about it. Know how you import your private key please, let's be guided.

Take heart, if you report the hacker nothing can be done to receive your coin, you can trace the movement of the coin on blockchain, but you can't trace the hackers location which is why it's difficult to get your coin back.

if the wallet is hacked and the coins are taken to another address, nothing will help to return them, they can still be scrolled if they become harassed and tangled traces in other currencies at all, forget, take into account errors and do not allow them to continue

no one can stop the ethereum wallet that has been hacked ... because I have also experienced a similar incident ... and there is nothing I can do except I can only attention to one by one my altcoins are transferred to the eth address of the account hacker ... so please give your wallet security stronger than before so that the same subject doesn't happen again ...

Making the same mistake twice would be really bad. So yeah, I would also advise him to not do that again.
Encrypt the whole folder that the wallet is in along with the wallet itself so the attacks would be harder to complete.

Sorry about your situation but please do not import private keys to unofficial wallets, it's a step away from losing your entire portfolio. I always ensure I've installed appropriate wallets or I'm on verified sites before importing my private key. I believe this will serve as a lesson to many, since nobody can do anything about this, your funds are stolen and it should be a caution to everyone.

Most of the hack issues in crypto especially with the individual wallets of investors, traders and holders can be prevented by taking precautionary measures. Normally, investors are advised to take caution and never to follow or download unknown links and files sent through mails. These mails usually contain phishing viruses and programs which can tap into ones wallet.

after the hacking we cannot do anything so that we will say and request that everyone need to be prevented on the available security options on your wallets and your system then only you cannot be hack very easily

This is very unfortunate, it is not advisable to download links from unverified websites or mails cause some of them are sent by hackers. Some of this links will look so genuine and victims won't suspect a thing. Sorry for your loss

Cases like this are a bit irredeemable because the eth can't be recalled after leaving your private wallet. What you should do at the moment is to secure all your wallets, both Web and mobile. Do not store sensitive information on Google cloud as this can be easily stolen.

Usually this accident is caused by carelessness of its users.
always keep the Private key in a safe place.
never install suspicious applications, malware is always inserted in the application on the mobile browser.

I'm sorry about your loss, man. but unfortunately there's nothing you can do. After that, I hope you will be more careful.

It is not even advisable to store private key online. They always recommended will should write our private key on a paper and be kept in a safe place. When wallet is hacked , there is no recovery , the bitter truth.

Bad news for you my friend once funds leave your wallet it's impossible to get your funds back even when you know which wallet these coins are sitting in because only the owner knows the keys if no eavesdropping is involved.

I was shocked to read that your ETH was hacked but I later understood you meant your ETH wallet.
The may out is to transfer all your alts or tokens to an entirely new wallet and keep the private key very well this time around to avoid repetition of the occurrence.

This is the first thing every new and old investor should do, they should educate themselves first on how to protect their work station and their wallet first, before thinking of hodling coins, we have a lot of good anti-virus and anti-malware in the market, and if you are going to download
anything in your computer, be sure to check it first here https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload

sometimes even if we keep a safe place can still be hit by hackers,
and my friend experienced it,
one way to avoid this is to keep a private key in the book,
or just open a wallet on a computer that is still new and never installed any application, except google chrome or brave maybe.

It's a pity that you can experience the event your wallet can be hacked. it might be possible by someone you can also know or are hacked by others and it is very difficult to determine who is doing it.
this is an experience that you should never have to happen again because you've experienced it.
Do not do a repeat incident if you do know that a hacker incident that you know is how.
make new ones and start to be more careful in your actions.

Well, I guess you can do nothing about it. I'm sorry to hear that from you its a lesson learned to you and for me its a reminders too.
All things are possible for the hackers, and we as a user need to be careful into our account, we should save or store our important things
into some usd flash drive or where it is not store in our desktop, at least even our desktop will be hack, hackers won't get any important things
to our pc anyway.

The most important thing in crypto is that, investor must first recognize that we're the strong players when it comes to securing our own wallets. How an investor handle a wallet and its login details determine its level of security. Avoid keeping wallet login details in emails because it is easy for hackers to tap into emails as we use them frequently to fill online forms.

You don't just jump into the cryptocurrency space without any good knowledge or background information. One of the first thing to learn is the security and safety of your asset trusted wallets to keep your asset safe and how to store your private Keys effectively. Your incident will be a lesson for others

Well if you private key is compromised then there's no other way to secure it anymore because private key is like raw key that can open without security confirmation. Next time better to print out private key rather than saving in dekstop. So with or without evidence there's no chance to bring your token/coin back to you

Why do you keep your private key files on your desktop? They should be stored on removable media, which is very rarely used by the computer. There is also a possibility that you participated in some of the airdrops and yourself gave the attackers your private key.

Are you sure you didn't put your private keys anywhere online especially in some forms?


It happened in Jun 6th


This is just some piece of advice, never download an unknown wallet especially if it is just an airdrop.
If you will download something then you can have another computer for those new downloads/untrusted one!

Never quit, make this one a lesson to learn.

Final destination of those ETH: https://ethplorer.io/address/0xe73f013d204fafde6712fd2c040b9b8f9559a4af

Then after that i think it was sent to an exchange wallet : https://ethplorer.io/address/0x3b921f0f543cfdb3fe9797911267e14382d8db7b

BTW...
0.7 ETH is not too expensive for this lesson that you learned. Take care of your wallet as always, everything you did wrong before! NEVER do it again!

Never download any wallet you're not sure of its security. I remember my friend getting hacked through a broadcast message he downloaded on telegram. Using hardware wallet prevents all this hack for $100.a hardware wallet can be purchased. With hardware, no one can make a transaction except you expose your passphrase to them.

You can’t do anything now. It was a valuable lesson for you that you paid for. The main thing is that now you need to make the right conclusions.
Never use this wallet. You need to remove this application from your laptop, clean it and check it well for viruses and malware. Use the metamask to create a wallet and use it.

So sorry for your loss, but there's virtually nothing one can do when the private keys gets to the wrong hands. The only thing is that you should be more careful with your wallet subsequently and don't download any wallet without making research on its authenticity.

That is a cheap lesson in cryptocurrency security. Personally, I have been robbed of substantial number of altcoins when I used its wallet for staking. Up to this day, I still don't know how. I suspected it was a bug in the wallet. Your PC is the most vulnerable hardware (due to keylogging) to store your private keys and always keep them encrypted.

I sympathize with you, but nothing can be done in this situation. Nobody is safe from hacking, even well-known exchanges suffer from hackers. Be careful and use Metamask . I haven't meet information that it's wallet was hacked.

yes, it's better to send all assets in the wallet to the new wallet. wallet hacking is very possible and many cases that we have seen have occurred with investors and exchanges.

Sad, I think it's because sometimes we store private keys on a laptop. And people are ready to take your money away with different tricks. Name that Virus wallet that you download. So, others will not get into this trap.

You should use only trusted app's for holding crypto. It's like Trust wallet. And never upload your private key in any wallet or website. If you need enter your wallet - use Metamask - it's only trusted extenshion.

I don't think you were hacked. The ethereum network is secure. You may have a virus or use a wallet controlled by a third party.
Or maybe someone saw your keys when they used your computer. Check it out, and if your wallet is the reason you're losing money, send a warning to everyone. Sorry!

I think there is nothing you can do about that, that's unfortunate. Private key is risk to use, that's why it's not recommended, It's better to use Keystore because even tho they steal the Keystore file they have to know the password to open it. And if you want to be really safe you can use a hardware wallet. At the first place, you should be careful with what you installed on your device.

Sorry about that, I don't think there's anything you can do stop them from accessing that particular wallet, you must have revealed ur private keys unknowingly, just create a new wallet and move all funds into the new account.

By the way dude, you never mentioned on which wallet did you use anyway? does is MEW, Trustwallet, Mist or Imtoken?
Also, I guess you might downloaded a site or clicked some phishing site where the hacker can have an open gate to steal something
important to you and sadly you stored your private key on your desktop.

it is all your falt. keep private key on usb flash and do not click on every link you see.

Too bad. You fell victim to one of the most common scams around here. Before installing any altcoin wallet, you need to scan the exe file with a reputed anti-virus software such as Kaspersky. If that is not possible, then you should at least read the reviews about the wallet. There are chances that users might have flagged it already for suspicious activity. Anyway, please be careful from now on.

Antivirus are so easy to bypass, i could hack someone here very easily by uploading an infected wallet fully undetected (no matter if you use VirusTotal)
People should use a HIPS (host-based intrusion prevention system) such as Comodo Internet Security. If you find it hard to use in Paranoia Mode, then just turn the Comodo HIPS on "Paranoia Mode" when you run a wallet and it will ask you to confirm every actions that the wallet is doing (extraction / running a file, read in memory/write in memory, access to the keyboard, screen, disk, and a lot more) it also includes a firewall, people who run a wallet for personal use should block any incoming port from any file that come from the wallet or the wallet itself. You can use the free version it's enough to secure you computer if you deal with the HIPS+Firewall.

yes, some people use everything to get money. they even use their skills to take profits from other people.

honestly, before looking for the coins we want, we need to know everything about the coins, such as the concept, the team involved, and find out the truth. if it's real, you won't find any strangeness in it. other than that, I agree not to install anything on your PC that you have, and prioritize always scans it with updated antivirus.

however, you need to do a check for your pc hard drive. always careful is the best way to avoid this risk.

That is the reason why, we need to have a hardware wallet compared to storing in online wallets and or storing in exchanges which is not recommended, hacking is everywhere all over the web, and with that, we must be aware of it, that scammers, hackers and all others are working 24/7 to steal money from us, and we must keep it in our mind, we mindful of everything we download online.

You can only transfer all coins and tokens from this wallet to another one to protect you against the hacker, that is all. If your wallet is already clear, then you can only go to police and report the ETH address of the hacker, thats all, maybe in the future we will be able to recognize the hacker identity.

Some scammers use social engineering tricks for fooling the average people and take their earned altcoins. Before installing the third-party software to the pc checking the file with various antivirus scanning services will be a good step for protecting the crypto holdings. These type of malware software is used for the running electrum or other crypto wallets with an automated script bot that can transfer the BTC to the address of the attacker.  
Before joining the airdrop, the requirements should be carefully analyzed and the bounty hunter should avoid the airdrops-bounty campaigns that have the pre-instalment software requirement for receiving the reward.

yup! you are right. there is no way to take back what has been stolen from us.
indeed we have to give up and good advice for us to make a new wallet.

but even though we have made a new wallet, i think we still need to be vigilant and be careful when using it so that the same thing does not happen again.

There are some hacking incidents that i read before that they  have recovered the funds that been stole by the hackers,  those victims did seek some profesional help because the founds is large enough  .

smaller funds can be easily forgetable because they can be easily collected  . but you shoudlnt give up easily , you must still do something tho  .

Unhealthy news ,, as old as I eth treated, there is no way to deal with hacking, from the beginning when making a wallet whether it is correct when downloading it, if not my advice to make a new wallet to make it safer, in the future to be more careful

Please name the wallet that you were using so that the rest of us can be protected from this awful scammer. Sorry to hear about your loss man, but this crypto world is really vast, and scammers or hackers can exploit this and then go uncaught.

Yes, unfortunately, you can't find a hacker and also you can't go to the police because in many countries the transactions by cryptocurrencies are n't into law protection. You can only in the future divided your money into several wallets and be attentionally when you put your private information. Because hacker must know your private key and this helps him to hack money...be careful!

For now i don't think you can do anything right now. Trust me i was there too when some shit hacker did this to me too. It's better that next time be careful and not to be a foolish.


Sorry for your losses. Scammers give you a trick in many way that you can't even know. So don't be a greedy for some coin and before you download such kinda wallet please scan it.

At present it is still very difficult to make a report to the police regarding crypto assets. Indeed, to track we can, but to do a report we must have the right hacker identity

So sad this happened, there is really nothing that can be done, once your private key is with someone else, then your wallet is gone, all you can do now is create a new wallet and be mindful of phishy sites.  Also try to keep your private keys safe.

I am also afraid that my Ledger wallet seed will be compromised because I uploaded it on cloud to avoid losing paper with backup words. Everything what is uploaded to the internet could be compromised.  :'(

Sorry about your loss.. One has to be really careful with wallet keys and details in this industry. You must guide them jealously like they hold a key to real life assets. Never enter your private keys in every site you see. Also, do not safe your private keys or details on online safes. The best storage is to write them down on a paper and keep it Safe.

What a risk mistake you have made by downloading unknown wallet, secondly where you saved your private key properly online, well sorry for the lost and you can not recover it, and you need to learn from the mistake.

if we want to save our private key its better to save in different device that we used to work in cryptocurrency market.now many hackers and programmer that create virus that have capability to  steal our online data.and its accident must be experience for us.

You may regret your lost assets, but it has all happened and your assets will never be returned.  From now on be more careful to guard your assets, this incident should not be repeated again. I pity you.

the incident certainly will not be repeated again,
Learning from mistakes is the key to the problem, if we already know the mistakes he made then they shouldn't be repeated,
and for lost assets it is better to forget, because if it has been sent to another pallet it cannot be withdrawn anymore.

no one can stop if our wallet has been hacked ... and this is obviously because of an error that you made so that your wallet can be hacked. then there is nothing we can do but throw away the wallet then make a new wallet ... so you have to be more careful in looking after your wallet ... privatekey must be guarded carefully and carefully with the phsing link ...

Sorry about this mate, but there is nothing you can do because your private key is meant to be private only to you. Anyone accessing it means you directly or indirectly gave the person access and owing to the way ETH blockchain is built there is no way to get it back you only have to let go. I will implore you take adequate steps to ensure you secure your wallet keys and phrases at all cost, if possible write it down and hid so you won't be victim of virus attack again. Also, be mindful of the websites you visit.

It is quite unfortunate mate but there is nothing you can do to regain your assets. I advice u should be more careful what u download on line im the future so as to prevent this from happening again..Always use recommended wallets also to avoid looses like this in the future.

There is nothing you can do to stop it because since he have the private key, you guys are now sharing the same wallet with equal access. The only thing you can do is to forget about it and move on with a new wallet and in this case ensure to write down your private key in different places you are sure it will be protected; since you said it's virus which you might not know how it happened, I think writing it down is the best way so you don't make same mistakes again.

After downloading the crypto wallet from the untested websites, checking the malware with different virus-checking software can save the cryptocurrencies. The safety comes first, the experienced traders understand this but only inexperienced people keep ignoring this, unfortunately.  The more we don't educate the people, the more people will be a victim of the hackers. Recommended wallets can be found after making a short search with search engines, lazy people don't like to waste their time with this nonsense.

Incident like this needs to be taken care of. Many holders failed to protect their wallets due to lack of knowledge. Hackers are all over the place working on their opportunities to find someone who's not been careful with their assets. You have to be more aggressive in protecting your money. You can't recover back those loses but you can perform now more security measures to avoid making the same mistake again.

You cannot do anything if the private key is known to others because they will drain your ETH balance, you must clean the virus on your device and create a new wallet address.

 You need to spend more time on security, especially when it comes to your savings. Need to be careful with scammers.

You might used a dex exchange and put your private key, though you visited a wrong website link.
You have put your private key somewhere on the internet like google form.
Someone you know got your private keys.

Beware next time, by the way. you can't do anything but to change your wallet.

Unfortunately, you cannot do anything about the hacker,  it a lesson which need to learn how to protect yourself on the internet.  Use only official soft,  maybe better to buy a cold wallet.

Ohh!! this is very unfortunate actually. I could not understand how you did mistake that you stored your private key into your Desktop? You know private key is your wallet's life so it should stored into secured place. Any way i think now nothing can be do to recover your eth yet. Be careful for future.

Best of luck.

If someone's MEW wallet has been hacked into, the blame lies on the wallet owner because he's badly secured his wallet from crooks

Lost any altcoin by hacker is very painful to anyone. If anyone saves  private key is destop, laptop or mobile, it can be posibility lost your altcoin. You should careful when you download any kind of altcoin wallet, because many wallets are harmful to us. Now you can't do anything, because everything was happen. If you have any balance in your desktop, you should move your balance to other Ethereum wallet and also move your private key from desktop.

It is best to delete them all and reinstall your computer. I am confident that your computer has been compromised and there is malware in your computer

The problem in crypto is this kind of situation. Some geniuses uses their knowledge to create viruses that implies to steal some info and use in malicious activity which is kinda absurd and quite disappointing. Blockchain can really be helpful but hoping that a regulation that punish those cyber people who used too much gear on activity like this must be put inside jail so they can know that their doing is a sin for many people.

should using some good crypto wallet, like ledger nano s or ledger nano x

there really is nothing we can do if someone has stolen our assets. we can only do as you say like cleaning up viruses and creating new wallet addresses. and of course now we must be more careful in storing our wallet keys.

i hope this will be a lesson for us to remain vigilant, because crypto is very risky.
i think, right now someone is waiting for us to make a mistake, so we must not make any mistakes that will harm us.

Sorry, there is no way to recover lost tokens or coins. I think you have made a fatal mistake when accessing your wallet. I think there are 2 reasons between you accessing your wallet on a phishing site and it could be someone closest to you knowing your wallet's private key.

happened to me last month. I've downloaded a file sent from my email. I didn't know it contains viruses. both of my eth wallet got hacked and the hacker just got an easy $2000.

Its very painful when you lose any of your altcoins to hackers since you can't do anything about it rather its a lesson which will help you protect your account well from hackers the next time.

You have sincere with your eth lose because no way to get back your eth assets except the hacker want to give back for you, I ask you never install anything with your laptop and use other browser when you open or click link without know is secure or not, when you get wrong link your assets will be lost.

I have, too, have broken into 2 purse, but well that there was little funds. it is better to store funds on special devices for storing cryptocurrency, or at least on the phone through the app, there is at least a two-factor authorization, which prevents hacking attempts

stop ? no its not possible to stop the process of hacking because its fast  . once the transaction is done , you cant do anything to cancel it  . all you can do is seeing your coins moving from the other wallet  . you said you download a virus altcoin ? hows that possible ? you cant download a coin but you mean to say wallet ? didnt you have any antivirus on your device  ?  the file will be detected and wont be installed if you have an anti virus or unless you insist to install it then that is already your fault  .

Sorry for your lose. And there is nothing to do now. If you are hacked then its finished. And you are hacked in your surveillance so no one is responsible. Better you alert people that what wallet is a hack and people will be save that is the best thing you can do now.

Sorry for your lose. And there is nothing to do now. If you are hacked then its finished. And you are hacked in your surveillance so no one is responsible. Better you alert people that what wallet is a hack and people will be save that is the best thing you can do.

Cannot return lost tokens or coins.. Cryptocurrecy is keeping before stolen, not taking back the stolen. My advice, do not ever store data on your desktop, because the windows system is vulnerable to viruses. If your computer has a problem with Windows, the system will also be reset, and the data will also be lost. The safest data is stored using notepad and rar. If you save data using Microsoft Office it is also vulnerable to viruses, and data cannot be opened.

so many people store their data in google tables. I ve read that this is not the safest place to store data - therefore, it is best to store your password on a USB flash drive

Honestly, it is hard to stay away from hackers nowadays because they can easily steal all of your funds in your wallet easily, that is why you should avoid sharing your private keys to anyone and avoid putting it in an unsecured place like inside your desktop or an online storage which a hacker could easily access to it. You should be keeping your private keys in a secured place like in a flashdrive which no one could access it so easily or writing it down on a paper.

There is nothing you can do about it , all you need to do is to create  new wallet and move remaining tokens into that. please  make sure  you always open your wallet  from right source.  and never  keep ur  private key  on cloud storage.  just  write  it down  and keep  it at  safe place  so that you wont fall victim again ..

again,use offline sign wallet.
there were many choice ,you can google .

for me,I used open sourced ImToken with offline sign on a offline phone,never touch internet .

And recently parity seems also launched a offline sign tool,it's also easy to use,you can have a try.
https://www.parity.io/signer

The only option is mark the wallet address as hackers wallet address. But i dont know how to do this but i just saw someone do that before.

For more security in your private key you can save it on harddrive or write it in a paper and keep that in a place that no one knows where, only you or your trusted person know.

You have save your altcoin or ether assets in nano ledger wallet, how ever you install application in your computer your assets is save, for other keep hold your assets in new wallet and access with only new computer, never click link sent to your email without know where is come from. Many airdrop give your link and keep away from bad airdrop.

Sad to say you cannot recover your eth. This is a must to keep safe of our own wallet once it hacked it cannot be able to resuscitate. A reminder to us not to click any links that might steal our crypto asset. We have an option to save our coins in a wallet it may ledger or other wallet you prefer.

You did the right thing that you created this post about wallet hacking. You need to be careful and keep the keys in a more secure place. I think that everyone is mistaken, thus obtaining inconspicuous experience, but the most important thing in this situation is to draw conclusions and not repeat these errors.

My advice is try to bookmark MEW or sites that you trust, save your private key, and never enter the private key on the form or anything you get from an email or message
And try to use an offline wallet sign or hard wallet

Just be careful next time as you are helpless now, Always use an authentic and common wallet to store your Altcoins and store your keys in offline pc hard disk or in USB.

If you look carefully what the OP said, he never blamed the technology but he downloaded some wallet and hence lost his money.

There are a ton of phishing sites and if you are careless you will lose all the sensitive information and that is what happened here.

If the OP was a ETH developer then they would have done a rollback  :P.

there is nothing we can do if our wallet has been hacked ... because all addresses we never know who the owner is in the cryptocurency ... therefore we must be more careful in keeping our wallets secure so that they are safe from hackers ... avoid links that we do not know ... so avoid the pshing links that continue to be spread by hackers.

You're right. Scammers are lurking in the shadows in cryptocurrency. Not just in cryptocurrency but in other community. All we can do is to have a precautionary measure so that we can avoid getting scammed by other people. We should be careful since it's just a few clicks away for the thief to steal your money. Don't click and click on the internet. Be sure to think before you click.

That was hard to recover or it cant get you coins back that you lose because of hacker. By the way on what wallet did you use ?

Maybe you open some phising site that you think it is the main site you store you coins or you put your important keys at your desktop hacker can open it easily, Ill think this is a lesson for you now that need to be careful again, And not only you have some experience like that even me in my first try at crypto.

Keeping your key in your laptop is great mistake, because you can never be overly careful on the things you download or websites you visit. Ever since I switched to using hardware wallet, I have never had an incident with hackers.

In my case i used my personal computer where i stored my wallets access and i do have a back up on my flash drive, from the day that i learned about crypto way back 2017 until now i do not have any problems with hacking of my privatekeys because i am very careful on browsing and downloading any thing on the internet. i know there are lot of ways to secure your keys but i am contented for what i did and feel sorry for OP's loss.

Once you lost it, there is no other way to return it, a hacker wont ever return what he gets from other crypto users. Making sure of the security of our wallet is our own responsibility, we should be careful everytime and taking care of it should be the priority. It is the holder of our coins we should never leaked any information of it.

Your private key has been stolen, and never send money and use that wallet again. Please change to a new address

You should never download an online third party wallet for any transactions over cryptocurrencies. Always use Metamask while you use the MyEtherWallet.I think OP knows that pretty much What he is asking is that whether there is any way through which he/she can recover his money.

I suggest using MetaMask if someone use ETH on regular basis. It is much more safe than using MyEtherWallet. People can easily use phishing page for MEW and stole your money. So better stick with MetaMask Extension and it is much more safe.

First off, get a new wallet, because that hackers ca control your wallet already. its quite unfortunate the asset cant be recovered again. you have to let go and hopefully learn a lesson of how careful you should be when online. My wallet too got hacked last year, the scammer made away with all the asset, i was depressed at first, took some time off crypto.

after some while, i came back and determined i will be extra careful and wont allow such occurrence repeat it self again.

Google Drive is indeed not a safe place to store private data. In Google Drive where you store public data.
We can lock data, but it can be published accidentally.
USB drive is a problem if it is damaged, or lost. But this rarely happens.

To avoid the problems you listed, it will be enough to duplicate backups to several USB drives. In this case, even if you lose one, you will still have two more.
People make a very big mistake when they are lazy or neglect the ability to make several backups. I consider it a necessity.

You cannot back your token so better to create new acc because your private key was already on other person so don't use it again.

There are a lot of fake links and dummy site that can get your money or we can say a phishing method where you can input your accounts like a normal site.

you did the right thing. Do not leave the market which can give you a huge amount of opportunities due to any losses. It’s just a lesson that you needed to learn

these things have happened to most of them, so its better to be careful while you are having large amount. there are things you should learn how to keep your wallet more secure and what are the best secure ways to keep your coins safe. im sorry about your Lost, but try to send your remaining coins to another safe wallet if you can access to your wallet. these things are common so dont get upset, learn from it. have a nice day!

This is sad dear. You just have to live with it and move on. Unless you know who and where the hacker stays, it might be a waste of time trying to track him.

Often this happens when downloading files someone can find a method to hack our wallet. I'm the most avoiding and a little afraid when I have to download a wallet because most people experience what you experience, especially the wallet downloaded is not well known. The way to secure your wallet from hackers is to keep your private key in another place, don't keep it in the same place.

Some bounty campaigns require to download and install untrustworthy wallets to receive bounty payments, so people are pushed to do this for few bucks and maybe you will be surprised, but most of them really do that and there is the problem.
Be careful everything could be pwned.

it's possible that your wallet was hacked by someone and that person got your private key wallet.
or it could be that your device is under the control of a hacker.

Something fishy about this idea. Most of the bounty use ETH contract so there is no way you need to download a wallet if you have already ETH wallet. This things will work only if the project have thier own blockchain and you really need to download that wallet or else you will not get paid.

I think it will be very difficult to recover assets that have been hacked by others because if A hacker who gets access to your private key / password wallet of course the hacker can move funds from your wallet to anywhere in the world, and will be difficult to trace because its anonymous nature, I think if the wallet we have has been hacked by someone else it is better for us to immediately replace the new wallet address rather than to strengthen the security of the wallet address that was once hacked again because of the opportunity of being hacked again and if it is possible to immediately move the remaining assets owned from a wallet that has been hacked.

I was a victim of my wallet being hacked. It can be due to login your private key in a phishing system that require you to sign in using your private key. Secondly it can be you were careless with your private key. There is nothing to be done . Just get a new wallet address and keep your private key safe and most importantly always use trust wallet or imtoken and metamask (when login on site).

Tracing your funds is not really difficult since all transaction are recorded in the blockchain though it will take some of your time and effort, also there are group of people or organizations who are very good at it. There are some cases where criminals was caught when they convert their crypto to fiat through an exchange platform since most of the exchange is KYC compliant.

What do you say, how can you make a hacker to return the crypto even if you found him? You just have to be careful.And accept the loss your crypto. Because the hacker isn't a fool, he is smart if he could pick up the key but still he is a moral freak and a criminal. Although this isn't easier for you.
I sympathize with you. I had several times whan the hacker took the ETH after my trading on EtherDelta and FD

If a private key has been stolen by hacker i think he was hit by a scam like filling in the bounty form or airdrop sent to an email because i often get emails like that. And another possibility for the device to be infected with a virus and retrieve some important data

Or maybe trapped to phising site that clone some wallet like MEW in past, they are collected a lot of people's private key and they are almost similar with original website. About that we must be careful when to visit wallet site and make sure the address is really the original. Because some phising sites just use a combination of letters that are almost have same shape. Like I and l (which sometime if people not really aware will think both are same letter)

It's just unfortunate situation. Best way to save your coins is to use hardware wallet like last ledger.

I have never been a victim

Well, it doesn't work always because there are numerous ways hackers can get rid of the funds either by selling them in escrow group, or meet buyer in person. It's now the fate of the person that bought from them.
It's even easier if they use Mixer service or swap them in Wallets like Exodus to another coin completely.

There have been many people I have met complaining about the loss of crypto assets because someone hacked it and this is happening to you. There is no way to return your assets, it's just that it's very important to anticipate unwanted things happening again. My advice is do not save the private key on a computer that is always connected to the internet, save it on a harddisk, flashdisk or a device that has never been connected to the internet. if you want to more easily and securely store your assets, store them in a hardware wallet, just simply prepare around $ 70 to buy them. as long as I use the hardware wallet does not have any problems.

This is so Painful I can imagine, but the truth right now is that there is really nothing anyone can do. The hacker can't be stopped because he has your private key, the best you can do now is to move on ,create a new one and act like the old wallet never existed. This time be careful of phishing sites, also keep your private key safe.

Staying in the shade, this is the safer way for those hackers to hide their identities while they are stealing other's people funds.


Walking under the sunlight in the middle of the day, if the hacker do this (I don't think so), they are not this dumb, I mean even if they swap them in wallets, it is still possible to track that address through blockchain.

You shouldn't store your private key in your PC without any security. It's like you kept your most valuable belongings in your home but you forgot to close the door. Private key should be stored somewhere with encrypted/password protected file. If somehow we lost it, we'll lose it all. So, we should be careful.

Note: Sorry for your loss.

I think you should move your high-value and eth tokens to a new wallet. In my opinion that's all you can do, and be more careful in storing / using your private key.

This is one reason why every exchange requires its users to verify KYC. In addition to avoiding money laundering also to prevent the sale of crypto assets that was hacked. Although this method is not fully effective, but at least can reduce the hacker's space.

i bet you submit your private key on airdrop form, because ive lose 2.5 eth worth of 2k$ at the time after accidently submit my private key on form.
be carefull next time, learn from mistake

Unfortunately! Which wallet did you download? Note the next time do not download any suspicious wallet and please scan for viruses before using. Now there are a lot of sophisticated tricks to get into your account. Be more careful

There is no proof as you said and even if there is a proof, there's nobody or regulatory body you can report to for a redress. Remember cryptocurrency has no regulatory body.

So sorry about this. Always ensure the links or websites you visit ain't phishing to avoid getting your wallets or any other vital information compromised.

Be careful on what you download their are lots of them are a phishing site that can easily open your desktop and one of them is a virus to put it the files you downloaded. Just try to look at the right side of the website sometimes if have sign of lock those are safe site and have a words also secure. I just found out also that have same site of MEW, Becareful on this other MEW those are a phising site their is no lock sign in right side of the link.

Sorry for that but be more careful next time cause there are so many ways hackers get access to victims wallets like clicking on phishing sites, poorly stored private key etc. Ensure you store your private key in a safe place. It should be encrypted. I hope you didn't lose much funds from the hack.

This is a risk that must be accepted by cryptocurency users because hackers will continue to work to be able to take the assets that we have in their way. so we must be careful in carrying out an activity regarding cryptocurency to be able to maintain our assets properly. I hope this incident can be an experience for us in the future not to be repeated.

I was a victim of the antics of hackers. My tokens were taken. I could not do anything about the theft.i moved on hoping that the ugly event will not repeat itself

My wallet was hacked too. The have rendered the wallet of no use. I have a new wallet. I don't see my wallet being hacked again

Just a few minutes ago, I warned that people should be cautious of the kind of crypto wallets they use. Now, you've been scammed. Firstly, I'm sorry about your loss. Secondly, why didn't you make thorough investigation before downloading the wallet?

Transactions on the blockchain are non reverse able, there's nothing you can do about it. Move on learning to protect your funds from future hacks such as this. Keep your keys Safe and secure from anyone's reach.

after seeing this incident, I don't think you will get your token back, because the fraudster has sent all your assets to the fraudster's wallet. maybe if you realize it or sooner than them, you still have a chance to move your assets to your new wallet.

Yes, this is indeed a good solution by backup to several places. But I prefer to use a wallet that uses email. So, if one day we lose the password, then we can reset the password. But most people don't like wallets that use email. They are worried about data theft, or hackers.

There is nothing that we can do once our eth wallet was hacked as the transactions that were made are irreversible but you can report or flag the hackers address.

But I am not that sure whether this will really help to freeze the money of the hackers address but with regards to your balances there is almost zero percent that you can recover it. So I hope that you learned from your mistakes and make sure that you should take good care of your private keys from now on.

Looks like there is no solution to restore Ethereum that has entered into someone else's wallet.
The most thing for us is to guard before hacking occurs. We can use a reliable antivirus. Which can detect viruses on the desktop or in the web URL.

Agree, rather than surrender and stop, make this incident as a lesson and experience. To avoid this incident, we must always be vigilant when visiting a website that we do not know and also be aware of the links sent to our emails.

Accounts get hacked most times when you download some tricky apps. One has to be more careful with various app downloads because some of these apps gives hackers a free access to your private key if stored on the same device used for the download
