The topic needs to be bumped until its sorted, and the scammed people have been refunded or at least some other action taken, like tagging the stolen tokens so that they cannot be sold on exchanges by the hackers.
There must be a precise way to report these incidents.

We just cant let this continue, and continue and continue on - as if its all okay and blame the users. We are talking millions of $ here, its not just a few people....its a massive number of people who had this problem.

The ETH blockchain will never reach mass adoption, until there is working a solution available if something like this happens. My 2 cents.


The malware has probably been installed by surfing on some other site, or by clicking in links of crypto-forums. Not neccessarily a site that "looks" like myetherwallet as a copy and then you entered your keys, how so if you access it with your bookmarked link. Its impossible, or do you want to tell me that its possible to hack the bookmarks on a PC inside the browser for this to happen ? That would be crazy.

I think MEW should change their site, that you cant access the wallet by just entering the private key...there must be a 2nd barrier of protection. MEW is not a wallet, but simply an interface to the blockchain. It has nothing to do with them, but they open a gate for hackers with their site. Sometimes people have to be proteced from themselves, in my case at least I wished there was a 2nd layer of access. Simply another password and the key, that would already be more difficult.

it happened to me as well, but on 18th of January

first it was moved to here
https://ethplorer.io/address/0x99a2499435ff63a8cb385f99e1faed0b88291176

and then later also to the etherdelta thing. You can see at the very bottom of the page, all these comments from some very pissed people. Even as recent as a day ago, so its still happening.

FBI file claimed, but is there really nothing which can be done about this ? It must have affected so many people.
If I entered the private key into a fishing site (even though its very unlikely and I really cant remember anything looking different), then fine - but when I am now reading, that the whole DNS was hacked and therefore maybe all entered keys somehow filtered out? Come on...none of us, could have prevented this with the usual due dilligence.
