So, as the title says - my Metamask account was hacked last night. I have absolutely no idea how it happened - I use randomly generated password stored in password keeping software, unlock Metamask with copy/paste (I don't type the password), never share private key except on rare occasions on legit MyEtherWallet website, when canceling pending transactions, scanned the computer for malware and viruses and everything seems clean... Last week my Twitter account was suspended due to accusation of creating multiple accounts (which I never did) and cross-posting between accounts which I believe might be connected.

The crook took out everything worth anything and I'm left with next to zero...

The thing is that he is still at it - if you check transaction logs for ETH address 0x27F0259f58dD6b33C808CAbE27f96810C0305A8f (https://etherscan.io/address/0x27f0259f58dd6b33c808cabe27f96810c0305a8f) you will see that he is still moving ETH and tokens to his wallet and I'm sure that he's not transferring funds from his own accounts.

Is there by any chance a way to get anything back or should I just cut my losses, lick my wounds and move on?

[FAKE MyEtherWallet WEBSITE]

I joined ETH Edge Capital airdrop on October 1st 2018 (50 HEDGE airdrop - 1 HEDHE = $2.83 + weekly dividends according to your ETH wallet holdings).

Today I received an email from ETH Edge Capital, requesting to confirm my ETH address to receive my first HEDGE payout.

After clicking on "Confirm Payouts" I was redirected to a website with form where I was required to enter basic info (name, email, ETH address, country) and confirm ownership of ETH address.

In order to prove my ownership of ETH address I was required to visit Ethereum Address Ownership Verification Portal which is most likely a FAKE MyEtherWallet WEBSITE!

Conclusion: When using MyEtherWallet, always visit website from Bookmarks and always make sure that you're on the right site !

Hi,

A strange thing just happened to me - I wanted to open this URL - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0 - to go through the Bitcoin Forum rules but the site keeps getting blocked by Metamask, saying that it's a phishing site and thus not safe (see image here: https://imgur.com/a/JatXG57).

What is happening here? This is the first time I'm seeing something like that and I've been visiting this forum basically from the beginning of this year.

Thanks!
