Mytherwallet is hacked

[FiveReelsTwo]

I can say it is true. A friend of mind has an account. It was hacked coming from a person somewhere in Europe. He got about $12,000 out of it. I think it is really possible since all is not that safe under the virtual world. Keep safe everyone.

[Mr.Junker]

Why is it lost ? maybe this needs to be investigated and do obeservasi about the existing habits do.
1. Do you share private key ?
2. Do you use additional security besides private key ?
3. Are you always alert if there is link submission in email or other media in your computer ?
4. Do you use MEW to disseminate public (kind join bounty / campaign) ?
5. Is there a virus or malware in your computer?
it's some conditions that you may have to realize when it is possible to do the protection that should be done is :
1. Don't use your MEW to play bounty - campaign. use MEW wallet backup for that.
2. Don't share your private key
3. Clean your computer from viru and malware.
4. Do not go into links that we do not know.
5. Bookmark your MEW to browser to avoid phising links 6. Be careful when using public connections like public wifi
7. Use offline wallet or wallet hardware.

It's possible that the hacker can still access your files. Reformat your computer and reinstall the OS. Create a new mytherwallet account. Don't click any suspicious links especially those asking for your personal info.

I lost more than $ 3500, please help me!

more careful, the end of many crime in the world of crypto and many people who hacked after the hacking of etherdelta. you should use the wallet ofline.

[Kryten12]

It is pretty unlikely your wallet was hacked, but what is likely is that you clicked on a suspect email or link and where taken to a copycat site and your information was phished. If you keep you wits about you MEW is extremely safe.

Always check the security bar at the start of the URL has MYETHERWALLET LLC (US) in green caps then you know you are on the proper site.
For now you should set up a new wallet and transfer out anything left in your compromised one

[kiver]

sorry for your lost seems like hackers getting every thing these days i personally lost some of my money on etherdelta attack which i haven't got back and i think the best solution is to store your money on desktop wallet it will be harder for them to get it or use some other of privacy like metamask or ledger nano
that should keep the theifs away i think

No one can hack your wallets unless you let someone to access your private keys,you need to keep your private keys in an offline storage never store it  in computer or in online storage.You know MEW is the most secured wallet so it is impossible to hack your private keys.If you still not contented with online wallets better to go with a hardware wallet but make sure it supports your tokens before buying an hardware wallets.

Someone surely have access to your private key, json file or anything you use to access your myetherwallet and those people who don't know how to protect their cryptocurrencies will surely be victimized by these hackers. To avoid that to happen again make sure that do not download or install any file/software from shady websites, don't click any link that was given to you (one of them might be phishing site). Be careful where to store your private key, mnemonic phrase, json file and lastly don't put your private key on airdrops that require you to provide it that's 100% scam.

[nareshrohra]

I am not sure how you lost the money. But, did you just install the fake "MyEtherWallet" app from iOS. It would be helpful to others if you share details.

Nonetheless, you can use an offline or hardware wallet as suggested by others

Your behaviour of your internet activity
and your sense

[Nariza]

I think you install a fake myetherwallet or there's someone knows your private key and hacked your wallet. My suggestion to avoid this kind of problem is keep safe your private key because there are so many hacker. It is possible to lose your tokens.

Aww so bad. 3500USD is a big amount of money. When is the last you opened your mew account ? Maybe your a victim of a phishing site. Did you check if you go to the right address? There are so many fake websites now. Look very same to its original one but if you check the link its different. You know ethdelta ? An exchanger. It has an imitation ederdelta. So be very careful. Instead of opening your account when you just want to check you balance. Just go to ethplorer or etherscan.io. Also, be careful of submitting your address. Check if this is really the address and not the private key.

I also experienced the same incident as you, if I caused the phishing site because I rarely see the original url, from my experience protect your email and protect your account using 2GA or 2FA.

[Anita1873]

It cannot be hacked if you not share your private key to anyone. Maybe you put your login details at any clone site or some malware is applied on your system. Protect your system with a good antivirus.

Maybe you gave someone your data, or caught on a fake website.because the MyetherWallet is very difficult to hacked

I also think that the MyEtherWallet wallet is almost impossible to hack. Somewhere, there was a leak of information about the secret key code. I once had the imprudence to put the purse code in the Mega cloud store, and then very quickly I used my keys and some of the coins that I did not have time to pull out, went to the addresses I could see by etherscan. io. Therefore, you need to be very careful with the keys.

Using an offline wallet can be a great way to prevent this from happening, and don't hand over your keys to someone else. It's a dangerous thing to do.

[b1k4ng]

please be careful in giving your wallet because anything can happen. there have been a lot of thefts in myetherwallet so should be more wise in using them

[habaratbu]

Always use metamask to prevent phishing scams to steal your keys.
