[DAVETUN]

Caution is the key word,ensure you do not input your private key into any site and do not download from unsecure site

[fourpiece]

Do not click any link that comes from someone or in slack groups, most of the scammers comes from that site im recieving everyday that comes from different people that i must update my etherwallet.

MEW is a very functional wallet but also exposes you in a few places when you create the key pairs. The nice thing about MEW is you can very easily get to your tokens on the Eth chain. There are risks though if you just use it in its basic standard form and use UTC files. At one stage when you create a key pair your private parts are exposed on the screen. You can use MEW if you want, but it is much better to use a hardware wallet like Ledge Nano S that can also store Ethereum tokens.

I suspect one of the following happened:

1. You got malware on your PC that stole your MEW UTC file and uploaded it. It then keylogged your password and the attacker imported your UTC file and unlocked it with the password. This is the classic hack of a wallet.
2. You took a screenshot of your private parts during key generation or you wrote it down for record keeping and the picture got stolen.
3. The hacker watched your screen and took an image of the private key.

Number 1 is most likely. In future, if you use MEW just use it for small types of tx like bounty collection and rather use a hardware wallet for high value longer term storage. THere is nothing you can do to get your coins back if you were indeed hacked.

Thanks for this but now I guess it's too late for me..

It is never too late, if you are not able to know how you got hacked then it may happen again, that is why when it comes to our coins the most important thing is to secure our coins even if that makes access to them harder that is better than to lose them, my recommendation is that you stop using an unsafe OS and that you bookmark the site of myetherwallet by doing that you can avoid most hack attacks.

Events like you experience like me
And I learned some errors they turn out to make the same Phishing website as Myetherwallet
To be more secure use Myetherwallet extension from google chrome as the best security

just to make sure this is the valid one right:
https://www.myetherwallet.com/

too many phishing in circulation so that the victim fell ...
always check your address before entering private key ...
I recommend to use. json file to login, with password combination

EtherDelta would do nothing about it because its already set on their rules that they don't  hold your private private key for you and you and only you are responsible on your own security.
I may say on how will you determine the owner of it, you can track him down track every transaction heshe made and figure it out on how will you get on touch on himher. But if i were you i will not waste my time looking for that scammer and try to get my token back, why It is because if i were to track that hacker and get touch on him or her, i don't have any idea what to do next would i beg for my token or use foul words to make me satisfied if i do these things is there any changes any improvement or any earningsI may say its totally waste of my time...  So better move on and make your mistake a lesson and a warning for everyone to avoid this kin of situation.

You computer is probably full of malware and trojans.

you should format your pc , install updated antivirus and updated os

I hope this incident won't ever happen again. I'm glad that MEW staff really put an effort to make a pop-up warning whenever the user will open his account so if ever someone still got hacked again then that must be a very stupid and dump person.

So sad it just happened to me yesterday  . My Datum was stolen I don't know any reasons why, my desktop is completely secured from any viruses. I'm using JSON File stored on my external hard drive and it has no any copy on my desktop.

IS MYETHERWALLET.COM SAFE
Hello,
I participated in an ICO before Christmas and created a wallet at Myetherwallet for the coin. On 28.12 I go into my wallet and have to watch how all coins from my wallet are sent to an address. So all gone. Then I followed the address via etherscan. I noticed that on the 29th and 30th 12 a huge amount of many different coins from many different addresses, all to the same address where my coins disappeared, were sent. Only on the 2 days worth several hundred thousand US $. In the following days until today not so many transactions are made at this address, but over and over again. I would not notice or would not interest me if not exactly to this address my stolen tokens would have gone. Obviously someone on myetherwallet.com is up to mischief. I sent the recipient's address and multiple sender addresses to support, but nothing happens.
Oh yes, my key was kept safe, not on the PC.
However, I still expected from a customer to whom I sold something, a small amount of ETH Zurich and when I opened the wallet to see if I had already arrived,
I was called out of the office and left the wallet open. When I came back after about 10 minutes and looked at the screen, only a small amount of the tokens were there, but they disappeared after a few minutes. I think that I left the wallet open was the big mistake. I just do not understand why the support does nothing, there are still Coins sent from different addresses to this address.
My PC is constantly checked by a security company, except that runs the full program of Kaspersky around the clock. I think they have hackers waiting for someone to enter his key and open his wallet.

is it true that the etherwallet is hacked?
because I'm happy with my wallet even though it's a little bit different
but there is no need to try to make my life bigger and above all I have too much need for life would I not be able to get rid of robber hackers
how to prevent hackers
could i have alarm on cellphone or any alarm or any kind of alarm to find out if someone opens my acount on ethereum
this is a good post for me and I'm aware of the hackers

Guys today I lost all my stuff on etherwallet.

Metamask is always valuable, why did you not add it?

[Arrrvin]

One more additional tip. Check your balance through ethplorer or etherscan instead of through myetherwallet. Only log into your wallet when you want to transfer tokens. The sad stories I read remind me that I really should buy a hardware wallet now.

[miningguru]

Some times it is very good to check twice about before clicking those links because they will steal your address and your coins. Even I faced the same situation so it is always good for any one check twice before clicking any link.

[CryptoIntegrity]

Very sorry for your loss.  But from what I know a paper wallet or ledger is the best in this situation 

[Flickkk]

i guess you need to store your privatekey safely.
or you got blinded by the Phishing links .

Just don't log onto the website for now.

For safe you should  always run MyEtherWallet offline, locally.
