From what it sounds like, you visited a suspicious website and something downloaded onto your computer.

Always make sure that the address you copy and paste is the same address you are sending to.

Visually verify it before you hit send. takin that extra few seconds will help you avoid being hacked in the future.

Stay safe my friend.

Sorry to hear about your losses. The hackers use all sort of way to steal coins, better be safe and buy a hardware wallet.

We all gotta be careful. Don't download new altcoin wallets just because they promise an airdrop - it is easiest way to get infected.

Always double check the link you are accessing.

Most important - buy a bloody hardware wallet. That shit costs you 100 usd, and is by far the best way to protect your hard earned cash!!

I am fortunate to have learned from other peoples losses. I was quick enough to secure my funds, I am sure I would have had stuff stolen by now.



Some of you literally give your money away to hackers.

Anyone else got hacked ?

May be you used scam site! At this times, every day, many email, slack sent to me! But i only used Bookmark for this web!

[Geleve]

If you loose not only those eths you tried to send but also other assets in same wallet, you probably entered a fake site. If you only lost those eths you tried to send, you may have a copy paste virus in your computer that changes what you copied with their own wallet adress.

There are so many thiefs nowadays in the ecosystem. Easiest way to get free money is sending some trojans to all over the world by some download programs and inside torrents etc. And they steal from random wallets after...

This is it scammers are everywhere so it is better to be cautious on every websites that we click. Like in slack channel there are always sending messages about myether if you click that link it is possible that all your ether/token may lose.

some hacking people are using slack. they mail to bitcoin talk user and ask for private key and new people in this field reply their private key and get lost their coin through the slack participation. one of my friend have losted their coin last week. so please carefully check the slack email and do not reply your private key to them. good luck.

Did you figure out the source of the Hack/Virus/Scam that took your coins?  Let us know if you do.  The level of Crypto theft is skyrocketing lately, and getting more advanced.

Most likely you've clicked the link on your email / SLACK Channel. It is known to the community that slack is famous for PHISHING Message / SPAM to trick you to send Ether to X or Y or Z address in order to get FREE AIRDROPS. The name can be the same as the original name/domain ~MYETHERWALLET (e.g. myétherwallet / mÿetherwallet / myetherwaÌÌet / myethërwallet / myetherwàllet ...etc... DO not click any link from any email / slack / telegram channels in the future. These maybe the most common mistakes that newbie / tech savvy users encountered. Always always type it on your browser or do google search on the keywords. Assure that the site is secured with the original MYETHERWALLET LLC Certificate (SSL / Secured page).

Even google search you gotta be careful because nothing is safe. Here's a scenario! When you type myetherwallet, a list will be shown to you and Never ever click on the Google adwords that contains the name of your search terms that could potentially be a malicious site.


Nope! There's no way you are getting back those tokens you sent back to the impersonator unless you have the private key!
Hard lesson learnt worth that much of ETH!

Note : Always insatall METAMASK on google chrome (free extension available). With that, you can be secured from these phishing site but not 100%, at least there's a warning!

That's a bummer to be scammed and/or hacked.
This proves that we all need to constantly consider
our security levels, the op will not get his currency
back unfortunately.

[anasso]

there is 3 possibilities:

1. you sent amount on the wrong adress!

2. you went to fish website!

3. your pc/mac is hacked!

It's definitely the 2 second option. He clicked on the phishing website which hackers and scammers send through slack and emails these days. It's easy to recognize the real myetherwallet but still people are careless. Sad to see your loss but it's gone.

[bhobafett]

What really concerned me alot about this issue was, can you still get that eth wallet? Private key is really important but what else can we do to those professional hackers?

[Palmerson]

Hackers are constantly coming up with new ways of taking other people's money. To this we must always be ready but to avoid this it is very difficult if you chose a target for attack. I'm sure that in every such case, there is a share of your guilt. You will not return your coins but if you will learn this lesson in the future you will be more secure.
