Did you use hardware wallet? Sorry, I can't help you return your money, but could you please share more details as a warning for people? This would be very useful. I assume you use high precautions to store circa 10 million. Most probably people use that recent bug in Trezor or Ledger to change address and value, right?

Please don't tell me you had it on MEW and enter your private key on some phishing site.

I did not get any warning. also i don't use hardware wallet. ETN is miner-able coin. it is not like a mew token. 

You got scammed, there arw many people who are trying to scam others most especially whwn they know if you have a great number of tokens. Once advice is that never trust any user whether in forum or telegram, if it is not yet transferred to your wallet you have to contact the supports of etn or cryptopia.

Did you follow the emails that the developers sent you?
During the first day "breach" some accounts have been compromised and they told all users via Email that they must change their passwords (including email) for security reasons.

Or maybe your phone where the Electroneum Wallet app was hacked, there are tons of security flaws and Malwares in a Smart Phone than a PC.

I don't use mobile aps and last 2 months i did not get any email about security reasons.

First of all, i am sorry for your loss. Did you visited some phising site? Or maybe your PC infected by a malware.
In crypto, it's impossible to get back your balances if you got hacked.

it seems scary, but whether you do not put your personal key to various sites or you are forgot .. so someone can know your password ..

Its a pathetic situation you are facing, I still could not understand how your account got hacked without your confidential informations being compromised.
Its advisable you contact the Electroneum support or Cryptopia Exchange as soon as possible if transaction is not yet executed.

I suggest you paint the whole sequence of actions, starting with the last moment when you had coins.

We must remember everything!
Then it will be possible to understand at what stage the theft happened and act from this step.

And you just wrote a hash of the transaction, which is absolutely useless, in view of complete anonymity ....

It's really scary, I'm more and more convinced of the need to purchase a hardware wallet. You can't return your Eth without hardfork.

An humble advice i can give you is that you should get an hardware wallet very secured even if someone hack your email address you are safe and nobody can have access to it web wallet are venerable to pushing attract compare to hardware wallet.

I am sincerely sorry for your loss as I can empathize  with you entirely. Did you get it stolen form your own wallet or from an exchange? If it was stolen from an exchange I recommend that you always implement two factor authentication on EVERY EXCHANGE YOU TRADE. Also when it comes to unloading wallets, try to have one computer only for downloading wallets that you don't hardly use much for the internet. I do hope that you can make back the money you lost. I have had coins and tokens stolen from me many times in the past and it isn't a nice feeling, again so sorry for your loss and don't give up on crypto because of this setback.

Sorry for your bad fortune but I have no way to help you. You need to be more careful and put all your coins in different wallets.

Sorry to hear about your loss. But one needs to keep strict securities in this virtual world. Maybe your PC is infected by a malware.
In crypto, it's impossible to get back your balances if are hacked. One can still do some research on how can one get back the stolen stuff.

Uhhh I hate this. This is so bad. First please dont be bogged down. U can make it back. Also, give yourself a preptalk like GO TO HELL..I hope you build a Taj Mahal etc with that money and belive in Karma.

Now on the hacking side, things are getting scarier each day. There needs to be a  better custodian service, It give me chills especially when I imagine people holdin millions of dollars worht of Crypto.

Never use mobile wallets, use JASON file for MEW>>not the private key<<. Keep ur main wallet ultrasecure never divulge the details.

Again very sorry for the LOSS. I hope get back even stronger and richer my friend!

How did you store your electroneum then? Was it their official electroneum mobile wallet? I don't think it would help but you could try contacting the support of where you stored your coins. At least, perhaps they would be able to tell you how the coins could be stolen. Maybe this will give you some clue on how not to make the same mistake. What if it was some problem with their wallet? I guess they could even give you some compensation in that case. If one transferred your money from your wallet into another wallet based on their app/website then they could ban that wallet or even contact the scammer if they have some contact data like email.

Posting transaction hash wont work. You have to analyze what did you do before stolen of your etn incident happened? What wallet are you using for storing your etn? is it a hardware wallet or the official wallet of etn? Im very sorry for your loss. Try to contact their support if they can able to help you

::) ::) ::) ::)

Electroneum is not erc20 token, and that uses its blockchain, and it's not pegged on the ethereum blockchain. Your comment doesn't mean anything to solve this problem.
OP. you can't get back your amount because it's already sent to the other wallet address. But it looks you are getting hacked by ransomware method, or I think that you give your account data to someone.

That is odd,if you arent a victim of phishing sites it must be some malware attack on your computer which you have your privates or your wallet information.ETN developers were attacked by the hackers few months ago,some information has leaked from their database.But they already asvuse the users to chanhe their email and passwords.Im sure you did something,because it is impossible to get your credentials without forcing you or else the developers or wallet providers did it.

Sad hear about hacks. Cryptomarket have this feature maked transactions cant be canceled.
Make lesson from this hack, and increase your security.

Your account or wallet information was compromised becauase the hacker needs to know your credential first.before he can transfer your coins.Are you sure that you computer doesnt have malwares?if no try on install malwarebytes it will help you to know what caused your problem if.the malware bytes dones detect any you probably got phished,that is why you need to use metacert extensions in your browsers so you wont be a victim.

I was confusing this ETN with ETH. Seems that I'm not the only one. It is still a very big amount and sorry for your loss. I can imagine all resources you've spent to mine this amount of coins.

Seems like you've got fished somewhere . This is a most common way to loose you money . All you need is just click on a wrong link and "voilà" - your funds is stolen . All I can suggest to prevent it in a future is to buy a dedicated PC and use it ONLY for the access to your wallets. And of course you should NEVER login into your wallets from another devices.

So you still have no clue of how this happened? And as I understand you used a local wallet? So don't know why people are saying you got phished.

Men thats a very bad news.! Theres a lot of scammers out there avoid phising sites and just secret the numbers of your coins. Cryptopia is not best trading site. Better keep it on web electroneum wallet or on your hard wallet. And dont click suspicious links and adds. Many really good hackers out there and i guess theres something fishy on cryptopia. I feel so sad at your lost its not the end of the world move on. Report it on cryptopia etn has a great potential.

@OP I am sorry to hear that but I don't think I can help you.

@mobilazy this may be off-topic (sorry OP) but what recent bug in Trezor and Ledger are you referring to? Can you please provide any links? The news is new to me (and I watch those products closely) and moreover I was not able to google anything.

I am sorry for what just happened to you, and i sympathize your feelings right now, many of us could learn from this situation, that we should be very careful and put high security above all on every digital values on ledger or wallet or whatever space we stores our assets, And try to figure out the best method on how to organizing our assets in safest way.

Just extra precautions, some hacker might change address, but since now you can see whole address line without dots in the middle, quite easy to check. I don't think some hacker can have ETH or BTC address exactly as yours with a couple of symbols changed.

If this thing happened on mew and you are a victim of phishing site then there is no more other solution I know. This is why I carefully choose the best trading sites and wallet. There are many hackers in the internet that we should be wary of because they can quickly sweep all of our profits.

This is embarrassing moment. It is like you want to push yourself to express your feelings.
There is nothing to get it back if it was hack. Sorry to say. Hopefully you can move on as soon as possible to work again. Others is right make your wallet safe. This is best lesson to you.

Wow. Quite a difficult situation of course. I honestly do not know how I can help you. It's very, very big money, especially for someone like me. I'm sorry that you had such a grief. But in any case, life is more expensive. So do not worry too much.

can you provide more details ? did you use etn wallet ?

sorry to hear about that.But i want to say it is a fault of you.i am sure you click a phishing site and insert your private keys there.Don't click any unknown email in your inbox.these days scammers get our emails from airdrops and other bounty spread sheets to send us scam emails with the name of popular ICOs and coins.I got lot of scam emails like that..i just delete them without clicking there links.and always bookmark the exchange sites and wallets.so don't do that mistake again.

I'm sorry for the stealing that happened on your account. While cryptocurrencies and blockchain offer tremendous profit opportunities, investors can sometimes face such fraud problems. Being very careful, even taking all the safety precautions is sometimes not enough. Get well soon for you.

I am sorry to hear that , buy you can't get your ETNs back .I guess you have told someone others your private key , study to product your digital assets.

Security is everything in this cryptocoin world. Please guys, take precautions before taking actions.

Really sorry to hear about that, that is a significant amount of money.

How you got hacked depends on how you stored your etn, but in the end, somehow, someone got your seed/key or email password.

If they were on an exchange, then someone hacked into the exchange and got your details.  However, if you had 2FA attached to your mobile, they wouldn't have been able to do it.

If you had it on the app, then someone was able to crack your login and authenticating details.  Was there a site that you had registered on with your details?  Most of the time details like this are stolen through phishing scams.

If you had it on etn's site, then it was most likely stolen through spyware or a phishing scam.

Unfortunately, the tech of blockchain basically makes it impossible to get your etn back.  You can track it using the blockchain explorer, but you have no idea how or what owns those addresses.

A lesson for everyone to take from this, is that in the end, the only real safeguard is to store your cryto in cold storage or a hardware wallet.

I agree with you. In this case there are only two ways to get private key.

First, ask directly to the owner.

Second way is place a keyloger in the owner computer so they can tracking all activity on that.

So if you wasn't give your private key to someone then exactly your computer get some malwares. Reinstall your computer and next time be carefully when you want to download somethings.

Thank you for understanding my situation. This is really a big amount of mine also! I am very shocked for this lost. I wrote this thread only for sharing my worried and getting some experience.

it's a shame but the stolen coins will not be back again, because that's one of the biggest disadvantages of cryptocurrencies, but how can your tokens get stolen? are you exposed to a phishing website?  you can share it with us

Yes it’s probably phishing attack, always install metamask extension and use chrome

The only way this could be done is if they know your private address. You might've entered your private key to a website that is fake and actually targets coins. This also happened to my friend. So we need to be careful in using our private keys.

Hi,
Did you have any news from the Electroneum team?
I received an email this evening saying that my account was locked for suspicious activity. I reset all the passwords and found out that my 5690 ETN where transferred.

I didn't log in to the Electroneum website for more than a month and didn't share any of my private ETN keys so I am not sure how that happened! :(

Im also a victim of these person.My 268 etn was stolen no notice on my email.Maybe we can locked thier account on crptopia.
