Stolen ETH from myetherwallet.com

[bayu7adi]

Too many phishing websites are spread through slack.You should be more vigilant in entering the website address.Missing one letter, your money disappeared.Investment in crypto is good, but safer if you invest in SWARM. Try it!!

I tried to send eth to my other wallet, then after i press generate and send, it sent all to
0x4d517D272CE8D879D8891518E70153b49d2CDb96

Anyone else got hacked ?

Please copy\paste web site adress of etherwallet that you are using for this, maybe you use some scam sites looks like myerther.

That would be my belief as well.  To OP... did you use a bookmark to get to MEW?  Did you manually type it in... or did you click a link in an email or on a website?  I've seen a few posts about losing coin from a MEW wallet but I've yet to hear it official that it was 'hacked'.

**as a side note, if you clicked a link from a website, it'd be beneficial to post that here so others can be warned.**

myetherwallet.com
i copied and paste the private key and logged on the account as so my other wallet address, is there some how a chrome plugin change the manually inputed wallet to another one ?

Since you used the official wallet, though strange, but there is a possibility of a malware on your system or browser that is hijacking your transaction. That is just a plain explanation for that and the dude behind this is sure making shitload of cash from this. It is important to always check the links you click as well as some webpages you visit and if possible, try to format your PC.

Fully agreed with this. If you want safe, never join in any of slack group. You are putting very big risk to earn small money.

Investment in crypto is good, but safer if you invest in SWARM. Try it!!

Do you think the site which you have advertized now will become more popular with this? not even once.

2. you went to fish website!

fish? What kind of fish on ocean he get?


Please, read what OP's situation people. It was clearly his computer got hijacked when he pasted his other ETH address.

I tried to send eth to my other wallet, then after i press generate and send, it sent all to
0x4d517D272CE8D879D8891518E70153b49d2CDb96

All you can do only this

try to format your PC.

and next time, always double check your address, is it already right or not.

That address was generated automatically?? Or you put in waht you think is the right address but it changed as soon as you press send?

For me as i always read in these kind of threads. I always make it a point to create a bootable usb flashdrive of ubuntu when transfering. I get all things needed; the json file, address to. Boot into ubuntu live boot. Sign in with my google account to sync bookmarks. Go to MEW. Transact. Wait for atleast 1 confirmation. Save as bookmark the current page. Logoff live boot. And goto my usual dekstops chrome and check progress. I feel safe with this. And have not experienced this.

I also got hacked as well. Should I create another Ether address and send my other coins there. I lost 2457 eBTC coins. The address was 0x4d517d272ce8d879d8891518e70153b49d2cdb96 that hacked me.

Yes if that address has been compromised already it is best of you create another one.

[seznee]

Thanks, i will then do that.

I've read that there is some virus which is pasting bitcoin address when you try to copy/paste your address, maybe it is something similar, instead copy/paste bitcoin address it is pasting ether address.
Unless you accidentally sent transaction to that address or you were phished I don't see any other explanation.

Not all MEW users are here in bitcointalk and if some are here, maybe they didn't notice this thread.
Anyway, since you've mentioned that you go directly to myetherwallet.com, maybe you've become a victim of a copy/paste malware. I suggest you to install an anti-malware software (such as Malwarebytes) and scan your PC. If you want to be sure next time, you should paste the address first to a notepad or text editor, check if it's right, then copy from there before pasting in a website or wallet.

PS. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK

I also lost 42 Ether from this!!!  What's crazy is that it worked before for a small amount.  I was attempting to send the Ether to Bittrex. 

Before you ask:  Yes, I DID check the address of the website and I DID verify the receiving address before submitting the transaction.  I have sent an email to MyEtherWallet.  The address the funds are sent to show multiple entries, but only a couple withdrawals (very small amounts, which is unusual if this is indeed a hacker's account).  I am actually currently the highest "loser" with 42.05387962 Ether sent here.  I will no longer use this service, and I would recommend that other be very wary, as there was nothing I could have done differently (except refrain from using this specific service) to prevent this hijacking.   

Edit:  Also, this was done on a government computer and I just confirmed that there is no malware on my computer.

I lost all my 16.63 Ether .  Nearly $5,000

   It wasn't a hacked site .  The problem is a phishing site shows as an ad disguised as myetherwallet.com .   The duplicate site is identical except the url is

http www myetherunwallet.com .  instead of http www myetherwallet.com  When you glance at it you don't always notice the url isn't correct.  If you don't have a habit of checking your url's , you will never catch it.

  I was trying to transfer 1.7 ether to bittrex so I could buy Ubiq for $1.20.   Now I lost everything.     The fake site shows #1 on Yahoo search engine .  I imagine it shows on others as well.

               Instead of sending 1.7 Ether to bittrex , it send all 16.63 of my mined coins to :  0x4d517d272ce8d879d8891518e70153b49d2cdb96 .


                    This account is currently still running the ad for the fake site and continues to steal peoples ether.   They had $54,000 in Ether yesterday , they must have made a $10,000 withdraw yesterday because it now shows about $45,000.    Please spread the word .   If this was helpful please help with a small donation.

From Where u clicked the MEW website link , i recommended u bookmark official MEW site , because now too much of scam website , sometimes they will send us notification from email then we clicked that fake website and we lost our eth.
Next time check u link before submit ur private key , see the SSL network "MYETHERWALLET LLC [US]" this a real official website of MEW.

 It seems I am in second place at 16.63 .   All my mining efforts for nearly three months.   Ironically , instead of keeping my coins on the Bittrex echange , I used the wallet for safety .   Whenever I transfer out of Bittrex I have to open an email to verify it.  Also , I can trade coins whenever I feel like it.   The scammer is still running the mock site ad on yahoo.  I hope someone shuts him down or calls the FBI .

     No, someone built a duplicate site . It is an exact copy so you never know its not the real one.

 The only difference is the url location is slightly different and the software is designed to transfer your ether to China where you will never see it again .  Its actually a Yahoo ad with the description of the correct site .  Very similar to the ads placed by Ebay or Amazon.

              Instead of amazon.com  or ebay.com , you get anazon.com or myebay.com.    Sometimes you catch the difference and sometimes not .
