If one of your wallet address got phished, it is safe to use? or you must make another wallet address for your future transaction? Are the altcoins safe in there or must transfer to a new wallet address?

It's not completely unsafe. I had a wallet that got phised but I still use it once in a while, I've hold coins in that wallet for no longer than 3 days out of fear of getting phished again but... Yeah 3 days holding in a phished wallet

But you made a new wallet for other transactions? Like airdrops, bounty hunting, even in participating an ICO? |

Its not safe as the hacker may still have your private key. so he can enter again. so better create a new account for maximum securiry

ofcousre no if you log in your private key in phishing website it better get some new wallet because the hacker has already have acces to your private key if you still putting your coin or token to that wallet tou will loae all your asset because theres a big chance the hacker will check your wallet.

Of course that would be stupidity when you still use the wallet that was compromised,creating wallet is free you should be vigillant and alert everytime you are browsing thru these websites,install metamask extension for your mew wallet protection,use hardwallet so you wont be hacked easily. |

But I didn't log in anywhere using my private key, is it possible that the hacker gets my private key through my email? |

It's not safe , and giving suggestion like you had only one experience of phished wallet is not the right way to go with it. If your wallet is compromised then I think there is no option but get out of it and transfer the tokens (if you have chance) to other wallet address or exchanger for time being. I would recommend you to clear the cache and delete the browsing history as it could get bookmarked and you might just use the same phishing address. Better get rid of that first with small but precautionary steps. :-) Edited : ofcousre no if you log in your private key in phishing website it better get some new wallet because the hacker has already have acces to your private key if you still putting your coin or token to that wallet tou will loae all your asset because theres a big chance the hacker will check your wallet.

But why would you want to do that, if generating a new address or setting up a completely new wallet is as easy as ABC? You should set up a new secure wallet, move all your funds there, and use it from that moment on. And just save a backup of the compromised wallet for security purposes (Satoshi advised never to delete a wallet) but never use it again. |

Short answer - NO! Don't ever use that wallet address again. |

You know the answer,if it was compromised im sure it will be compromised again.A hacked wallet would always be a hacked wallet,move one and create your new wallet most of the secured wallet like myetherwallet is free,so it wont be a problem if you create new wallet.

What kind of question is this. Of course, that's not safe because hackers have access to your wallet. So anytime can open it and steal your token balances here. So it's better to make you a new one and be careful that you will no longer be a victim of phishing sites. |

Don't use it, try to use metamask next time to stop you from using your private key. And never post your private key on Airdrops or bounties. If you have metamask, you don't even need to enter your private key anymore.

It wont be safe because it was phished already,the phishing site got your keys so it will be easy for them to get your coins again if you put it in your hacked wallet,dont use it creating new wallet is very easy and you wont need pay doing that,free wallets like myetherwallet would be enough if we are talking to erc20 tokens and ethereum.

This is stupid. Why would anyone will reuse a wallet or address that was already got hacked or phished? if you reuse it, its like giving a free money to a person that already fooled you. If someone already have access to the private key, recovery phrase or anything that can access your wallet then it is 100% not secured anymore, why not just create a new one? creating a new address or wallet will not cost you anything because it is free to generate a new one, unless you will create a new Ripple address which will cost you 20 XRP. |

And just save a backup of the compromised wallet for security purposes (Satoshi advised never to delete a wallet) but never use it again. Thanks, never delete and never use it, got it. I am not sure if you make fun of my words or not. I had better explain. I meant it: never delete and never use it. Read: never use it if you don't have to. But what if somebody sends you some bitcoin into the public address you had in the disposed-off wallet? Then, it will be OK to temporarily reopen the backed-up wallet and move the newly received funds to your other (secure) wallet. If you don't have a backup you will not be able to access those new funds. I know it sounds like a remote possibility, but believe me it happens, Satoshi knew what he was advising. |
