15 NEO stolen from neotracker.io wallet - Is the website hacked?!!!

[tomahawk9]

I am tech savvy

don't lie, a tech savvy that felt for one of the easiest ways to scam people who own cryptocurrencies, a clone website? A tech savvy wouldn't just click any random websites that says 'neo wallet' and upload the private keys to it.
You broke the number 1 rule in cryptocurrency: do not share your private keys.
At least your learned a lesson, the hard way.

Thanks everyone. At least I hope this works as a warning for others to not make the same misstake!

I still want to see that NEO adress blocked and that clone website banned though. Any steps I can take?

About the address, you should go to NEO's official website, look for their contact info and send them an email providing every detail of the scammers (NEO address, site name, how it is showing on google search, etc), if you don't get a response from them, go to their twitter or facebook page. Once they confirm the site is indeed a scam, they'll know how to handle it. And who knows, they might help you recover the NEO you lost.
And you should also spread the info about this scam works, go to NEO forums, reddit, social media, etc, and expose them as much as you can.

Though I did something very stupid, I'm still sure I didn't use my private key only my encrypted key... and password. Anyway, I'm contacting NEO in all possible ways. I also posted on Reddit yesterday but to no avail, barely any comments or help there.

If anything comes up from this, I'll update.

this is very sad news. I had the similar thing entering private key for SuperBitcoin fork, mybtgwallet website was hacked.
Then someone stole my ethereum prive keys, I still do not how.

I bought a hardware wallet then, and keep all my precious coins in hardware wallet. Since you had 50 neo which is a quiet good amount, I would recomment you got some. I think you had other investments

15, not 50 I have a bit of Vechain, but NEO was definitly my biggest asset.

Also, some other peopleposted here that they were scammed by the same address without using their private key, only encrypted key or keystore file: https://www.reddit.com/user/alanhendry

You can'd do anything with it. But you can try to make an awareness to the neo community about that scam site. Basically if your amount already sent to the another wallet and you can't recover it. But the developer of neo tracker is also can't do anything about that. But neotracker is working just like mew and it's very similar in my opinion.

[gRaViJa]

Im spreading the message on reddit, discord etc. Many others have said to have their NEO stolen to by the same address. Some even 50 NEO and more, ouch!

Do not for any reason upload your private key and always double check url of a website before you even make use of the site to avoid being phished by a fake website. Hacking most time is from a phishing website a look alike of an original website. Therefore, be careful and be sure the url is certified and not fake http.

After seeing here thread just now I checked my NEO balance in neotracker.io my coins are safe, but sorry for you mate. And be careful before using any exchange site please check the spell and don't click google add sites. And thanks for sharing your experience it will help many people. And I will also share this information.

Sorry for your loss. As a hodler of some Neo, this thread got me scared but glad to know it was not a neotracker issue but your own mistake. I dont even login to my address even to claim gas, it will keep accumulating and I can claim it once in every few months.
No matter how small the amount, I had to work hard to earn it.

OMG! You should always be careful in negotiating in business transactions that involve your money and the key. Be aware of what you are doing coz if we talk about money more people become evil. They create sites that very looks a like to steal your money. Be your own protection dude. Be more careful next time. Take the lesson.

[@ngelcryptopia]

I am sorry for your loss. I have read many different instances of people who had their funds stolen.
Most of these scam sites are very convincing, they even tell you it is safe to key in the private key. I sincerely hope that there is a way to punish all these people behind the scams.
Thank you for sharing this at let this be a reminder to everyone to be extra careful when visiting any sites.

Same happened to me yesterday with 8 NEO that i planned to HODL.

I was in a hurry when creating the wallet and even NOTICED that i first was at the .online url, which i thought was dodgy so i left it, googled neotracker again, and went to the .io address. Somehow they still got stolen though and went to the same address as where yours went. My first experience with crypto robbery - expensive lesson learned

if there has already been a massive robbery of coins on the same food, then I believe that this is not a leak from your resources of your personal data. This is most likely a problem with the platform that provides you with cells for wallets to store your coins. Perhaps you need to handle claims to the administration so that they correct the mistake and return the loss.

How could they return the loss? Isn't the whole point of crypto to make that impossible..?

Anyway, it seems like the scam address is still accumulating new coins -- when i checked yesterday it had 1660 NEO, now it has over 2000

Yeah, chances are very small that will happens. Also, I contacted NEO on every possible platform but no answer at all so far.

Sorry for your lost, but it seems you visited a phising sites. Did you bookmark neotracker.io? It's important to bookmark it to prevent you visited the false site. Another solution, you can use web browser addon like HTTPS everywhere or MetaCert.

There can be several other reasons behind this as well.
You cannot be this much sure that these NEO coins have been stolen by someone. It is too early to make a conclusion. I don’t think so that such kind of thing would have been happened. There must be some technical problem due to which this all had happened. We just need to wait till the time we get to know the actual reason.

Hy everyone,

I just lost more than 700 NEO in my turn. I always did my transaction carefully on NEO-GUI, but one time without attention and it's enough and I know it's my fault. The community should find a way to track these adress in order to freeze them. The main goal of blockchain is to valid transaction and find the corrupted adresses. I don't understand how masternode can valid transaction from these adresses after so much money stolen.

What do you think about that ??


My NEO and GAS have been stolen by these adresses : AHk7t8cKGDM2sARMFUw7F5zjPdqNCbnnjj & AVQbYt8MZnDFWDEZXvLxRXw9fjspapQwAW

One more thing, I never gave my private key, just like @gRaViJa, I gave my encrypted file and password. Neotracker should definitely find a way to make its website safer, like mail sent to valid transaction or 2-step Verification ... etc.

[parekoy]

That is why I never use any third-party wallets other than company owned and backed wallets because I never feel secure and safe with other wallets.
I have NEO coins and I only use NEO wallet app because I know that it is safe and secure.
MyEtherWallet of course for my ERC20 and Waves wallet for my Waves coins and so on.

[cakebreadgrapes]

I also just realized my 4 neo and 1.25 gas are gone WTFFFFFF

I'm really confused, as I'm still accumalating GAS on the account it seems: https://neoscan.io/address/AZGdpqcfetxZQkRs9YCpSyb47t6rys91Ww

Did I just forget about another wallet I might have sent these to or something incredibly dumb? It's showing 0 NEO on the blockchain....

This is the address my stuff apparently went to: AcQZuoHPUCRvdLogJLA3WtGoHBGaM1NzgP


I need to stop drinking so much...
