All my tokens in MEW stolen!

[SvonioneFromMangoCoinz]

I just logged into MEW and when check my balance everything except 45 tokens everything else has gone! My wallet was hacked, but where have all my tokens gone?

I am devastated. Has anyone else been hacked how is this possible?


I am not sure what to do! please advice folks.

When you are stolen, you will lose everything and no one is responsible for you. The Crypto market is so, you have to know how to protect your computer and account. I have been hacked a wallet MEW but the amount is not too large. So I always be careful and never down the computer harmful software. That is my sincere advice.

Unfortunately, I think that all this can not be returned, because it is a blockchain. There was such a situation when Vitaly Buterin still dropped the blockchain, because there was a lot of money there.

If you are hacked means you are somewhere lit up your private key, just create a new account to use it, I think it is not safe, and next time check where you go from what site

I think his computer has been compromised, There is malware available in his computer. You should check the entire computer and clean it before creating a new wallet, only then can he really be safe

All right, but still do not need to keep secret keys on your computer.Print or copy to a USB flash drive.But honestly, I don’t understand why developers won’t make a more secure online wallet.

MEW got hacked usually because of these 3 causes

1. Phishing site
2. Virus in your computer
3. You entered the wrong private into the bounty spreadsheet

the bad news is the token has been stolen cannot be returned but you can avoid this so that it doesn't happen again in the future by storing a private key or json file on a different device and dividing it into several wallets according to the value of the token

additional note: never click on any link that comes from an email (90% phishing)

in any case, it seems to me that the ethereum user of the wallet was not paying attention when using his secret keys, and there may also be a situation when unauthorized access to the computer is received. In any case, MEW is the safest wallet.

This is so Sad to hear that you have lost all you have worked for. Being hack is a terrible experience and I am sorry about your loss. But I think your private key must have been compromised. I know a lot of persons save their private Key either in there telegram account or in the Google drive which can easily be hack. So this is a security measure to stay safe as well.
Don't participate in phising projects where their website is not secure.

I am sorry for your loss. You should carefully monitor the security of your data. All the bounty companies that you led are now at stake. Unfortunately, bounty managers will hardly change your wallet now.

[Georgiyk]

Unfortunately, you will not do anything anymore, it is impossible to return the stolen coins from the wallet. And you can even see the thief and watch his balance, thanks to the blockchain. Only one way out, forget this wallet, open a new one and keep your keys safe.

[zauna35]

all those involved in crypto currency sooner or later faces the security of funds..on the forum has written a lot of guides on how to store your tokens, that would not be robbed..I feel sorry for you, I also a year ago, revealed two wallets, typically we are guilty, that nablyudaem simple rules, the main of them says: do not store keys on your computer and not to go into the wallet key..

Hacker can do anything they are the products of their choices. Hacker can easily hack mew. It is common now.

hey, hold on, mate! i hope that wasn't your last money? anyway, panic is no use here, you have to understand the cause of this robbery. just to avoid repeated stuff in the future. good luck with it!

[LUGHUL]

If you want to check where your assets are lost, you can use trace transactions through the etherscan. Only need to enter your eth wallet and all transactions will be visible.

 Thats right . but aside from that , we can also use etherplorer to track our transactions and coins.

Maybe he have lost alot of money in equevalent to cryptos , thats why he cant move on .   panicking isnt bad at all especially if this is the first time to happen in you  .  it is also impossible to avoid repeated steps because hackers will always do a way to hack us even if how secure we are .

No they cant .  mew is verry popular and that also means it has a solid security due to its number of users  . ita not about hacking but it is phishing on why many users have lost their coins  .

[miningguru]

Really sometimes it is very frustrating because even though we provide some security measure people are stealing the coins. I think it is impossible to steal without sharing your private key, even i have experienced same by sharing my private key to others. As long as if you don't share your private key you will be in safe hands.

[ciang huang]

I used to be like that, I've lost my token and eth because I once entered a phishing site, which they easily hacked into my wallet freely. Have you ever logged on to Airdrop using the KYC form of utc json file.

[jemarie20]

Maybe your put your private key in somewhere place which are not secure or you have been open your wallet in fake sites, that is why someone stolen your private key and they use it to get your coins in your MEW.

Check your transaction history to know where your coins landed.

I think that if the tokens were stolen, then the private key fell into the hands of the intruders and it makes no sense to use this wallet anymore. There are a lot of similar cases, people enter private keys on phishing sites, save in text messages on a computer that is accessed by attackers.

[hidrocop]

I see these kinds of things all the time, the crypto money world is dangerous, and I'm surprised why people use software wallets.

[elitemobb]

This is really terrible. I myself faced this situation and was shocked. So this is an unreliable wallet and you have to keep your own funds on different ones. Be careful!
