Hi dkn2017,

Yes Myetherwallet.com and metamask.io are safe to store your Ethereum and ERC20 tokens. But beware that MEW is the most popular ETH wallet so they are targeted by phishers, don't fall for that.

Today someone hacked my account and transferred my ether from MyetherWallet account.

As I've said, there are phishing links that are scattered through the web so you became a victim of it. Next time, always check the URL properly.

One more thing can I transfer all the alt coins , which is yet to lauch after ICO present in my compromised MyetherWallet account to MetaMask.

If that coin isn't listed yet to an exchange, hackers will not interested to it so better send it to its respective wallet.

Please help me. I am very depressed and worried.

How much is total worth of ETH scammed to you?

mew plus metamask is much safer than having a mew account alone because by using a metamask your adding an extra security to your mew account and you rather use metamask to login in any exchange instead of exposing your mew private keys else where. Mew is basically prone to hacks and phising attempts that is why much better to avoid using it directly rather you only need alternatives such as metamask in orded to be secure for your online activities.

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

thank you for sharing such information because it helps us beginners to be stronger in securing our wallets ,,, hope bad things like the theft of coins in the wallet do not happen again.

Some fake links are there in the online. We need to check the correct url of MEW and access the wallet site with the private key but most of the people loosing their money because of logging in to the fake site only. Other than that mass hacking will not be possible at all on the server.
Please do not take the advice of the people who lost the funds in individual hacking.

I just got hit last night.  I read somewhere that etherdelta may have been compromised so that may explain how they got into my account and others if you've use etherdelta or given access to other exchange with your account info.  It seems I'm learning something new each week now, scams, thieves, etc.  Costly.

If the tokens are unsold you may be able to get the issuer to redirect to new eth address.  Just a chance.

Watch out for phishing sites. Many people got scammed like that. Don't be lazy and check everything.
Everyday we can see examples of scammers creativity.

Although you can just simply bookmark the website to make sure you will not mess everything, because sometimes we messed while we're typing, like for example we type myetherwallet.com , instead you put myetherwallets.com (notice the S) that can be used by phishing.
Be extra careful when visiting cryptocurrency related websites as well, there might be a trick hidden behind it to get your wallet's vital information. Im not that savvy with software and programs, but I can be more careful not to become a victim by these hackers.

maybe you have login to the fake myether sites, beware of the phishing sites... that happens to someone every day

Yes, very sad to know about it because the problem is we are sharing our details with an in identified person without knowing anything. This made a lot of people to lose their personal wallet and they're hard earned money. Moreover, we have to be very careful when dealing with private keys.

Scammers use the inattention of users. If you check and follow your actions, then you will not fall for their tricks

Has anyone checked the address given in the OP that her hacked coins went to?

I mean like lately...

https://etherscan.io/address/0x92938478236dad7877b43379b64051801e85fb4a#tokentxns

This douchebag has over $25k in tokens and it looks like he still has qiwoman2's 500 TAAS!

IS there not anything at all which can be done to assholes like this? Even with this much time gone by?

I mean wow...that is just fucking horrible.

The major problem with the people is they don't learn anything before sending or giving details to others. It is always good to check the details before sharing anything with the person who doesn't know us. These major problem with the people are here to make money not for loosing, in hurry mode they will not check the details correctly and start sharing their private keys.

We never have to share private key to anyone,why they need private keys?
Some bounties are also asking for private keys so be aware of them they are all the scammers.
It is better bookmark the MEW site and login from that bookmark will save us from fake websites.

Thanks for bringing this up. I'm learning from this and i'm wondering would creating many new wallets would prevent/reduce such incidents. At least one wallet hacked is not as bad as all wallets being hacked.

My hearts to TS. so sad to hear this.

No one can hack this wallet. Just thinking, your smartphone password just 9 characters but when you forgot, very difficult to unlock again
With 64 characters belong to private key (include characters and number) . How can the people hacking you?
in my opinion , maybe you was lost your private key
