Sad to say but you will never recover your account because it's hacked by the hacker. So next time be careful where you going to post or store your private key. I would like to recommend you to use brave browser to avoid popping ads that will infect your PC.

I think you got phished. Getting your funds back is nearly impossible for me. I recommend you buy a separate computer for cryptocurrency related things only and if you can buy a ledger to store your funds go buy one. This is not the first time that I've heard of a MEW getting hacked. My friends also got phished because of virus in his laptop.

If you loose the fund it cannot be recovered unless the user whom took can give the fund back.

MEW seems most attacked wallet because the users are really do not give more attention over security and do not check the URL.

Please read their privacy policy and see what you can do. No one here to help you on this.

What wallet software you have used before the hack happens?

You might used a phishing website for MEW or your device's totally infected with malware. Please double check the url you're using and if possible always use an AV.
Hope this will serve as a lesson to you. Btw sorry for the loss.
Yes, this is true, this could have happened because at this time the phishing site was made very similar to the original so that it could outwit the less careful users. Keep careful for everyone, when the price of bitcoin rises, the crime rate will increase too.

There is no other way to deal with the problem you are experiencing, if your MEW wallet is leaking it is your risk to keep a secret,
It's even very difficult to track down someone who has an MEW wallet.
So things like this can make the next experience

I hear this in bounty so often. What is the matter with you people? How do you kose your private key? I don't even understand how you lost your funds. Did you get hacked or do something stupid? I've never ever been hacked not even once. How on earth did you do it. I want to know. What do you people do? Do you copy paste the private key where you shouldn't. I just don't understand.

How much did you have in your wallet btw?

Sorry for your loss mate, I was a victim too late 2018; once tokens have been transferred there's nothing you can do although you can prevent it from happening again by bookmarking the right mew site and if there's any bounty you're working on write to them or you just watch ur address like a hawk and move any token that comes in before the thief does.

No he still have an option if the hacker address is monitor or reported but the OP seems to have loose hope cause I can someone who already have search and knew the exchange site where the coins are held now and the OP didnt say anything.

To moniter the hacker's address what they can do?

If you have the address you may track till it moves to the exchangers hand after it will keep on moves to other when other sells that ethereum or any coins to other person.
Waste of time on tracking it.

It can be tracked like that guy did on that thread but it's still op's due responsibility to inform that exchange to stop that address owner to withdraw.

But the verdict will still depend on the exchange if they will allow it or not. Otherwise, they will answer that they don't care about outside transaction because it's no longer their responsibility and range of their jurisdiction.

your private key got jacked but you say you KNOW you don't have malware...
you are part of a generation of crypto users that have no idea how to be their own bank
but for some reason you are storing your own coins, you dont even understand that crypto is not reversible...
ill never understand it : /

There's no way to get back the transactions since it's irreversible. You should have more concerned earlier. Don't use any third party website where you need to share your private keys.

according to some experiences that I have experienced, with that incident you cannot do anything.
never use the MEW again, immediately to create a new MEW and always keep the Private Key that you have don't happen again.

There is no way for you to get back the tokens you've ever owned, except hackers actively pay them for you.
Unfortunately.
You will have to be more careful, be responsible for your own property.

My ethereum wallet is one of the safest wallets to keep your coins in, but if you don't know how to use its private keys you may get hacked especially if you enter your keys in phishing websites. So be careful next time and for recovering your coins stolen from the hacker you can report him to the exchange he puts your coins in but if he keeps them somewhere else in cold wallet the situation will be tough to solve.

Forget about those coins that was stolen on your wallet, better to create a new MEW then transfer your remaining  tokens before the hacker wipe all of them . And nextime be careful.
