Private key is not safe

[coin_1122]

I have never experienced anything like this
you may enter in myetherwallet with private key not with keystore / json file
the matter of my friend once said too dangerous if we login in myetherwallet with private key
different from keystore / json files that are guaranteed security

If you feel dangerous about the private its better to check the MEW link twice because you need to secure your wallet. In offline how securely your keeping password to bank accounts and in the same way you need to keep MEW account in the same way.

Private key is safe and I don't think your account can be hacked except if you mistaken clicked on another link thereby exposing your account information to hackers. Myetherwallet is a good website. You should be very careful when imputing your informations or during transactions.

It's kinda weird of thinking someone is being hacked. The private key is completely safe to access. I mean Always was, will be continued as what I believe. Make sure to bookmark the site, as you just need to be sure you go to the correct site and don't get redirected somewhere.

There's no problem if you guys are using MEW (Myetherwallet) for receiving your Ethereum or any ERC20 tokens.

The problem is you are being phished, YES!

You logged in to a website that looks like MEW and you put your private keys into it.

The solution to this one is don't be so ignorant with the website you are visiting especially if your private key is at stake.

Bookmark MEW and your problem is done.

I'm hacked victim,I used my etherwallet to received my assets..but why hacker know my pivate key? Hacker is sent ethereum into my wallet and used as a gas to get all my coins..how it all happened  guys.?

your explanation is so unclear that I find it hard to explain, when your account was hacked how it started and how is it possible if you use double security.

[jackjackfly]

I'm not sure I understood your situation. But from what I have understood there are several reasons possible. I mean why that happen:

• you fall victim of phishing site
• you have keylogger
• you mentioned your private key somewhere on public

Hi.

You really should pay attention to his private key. Something similar happened to me. Be that only USB stick and the old-fashioned way to write on a piece of paper. When it comes to money, you have to be really careful.

Even though you bookmarked the mew site , private keys option is still unsafe for unlucking your mew account because you can always get easily hack wherever you accidentally paste it somewhere like for example on the bounty or airdrop form , some people mistaken their eth erc20 adress to be their private keys and as a result hackers can enter their wallet silently. But anyways , your suggestion is still good and would greatly lessen the risk of phising and hacking attacks.

Everything will work when we have some backup only if we have secure wallets by protecting the private keys. Once if they loose private key it is impossible to recollect private keys.

why it can happen if we know that myetherwallet security is very good almost using some verification first maybe you have been mistaken with what you do when transact so that your wallet is still open and it makes it easier for hackers to steal your coins.

Nobody can hack your private keys. The hackers wont get your private key unless you give them. I suggest you to get a pendrive and store your passwords and private keys in that. Also dont give your private keys to anyone and allow your trusted buddies to use  your laptop or pc. Also dont try to open your wallets from internet cafes. Its not safe.

Some people claim quamtum computing will make your sentence wrong. But as far as we know today it is rather impossible indeed.

first of all quantum computing is still dream of future which is not near .
2nd thing if we able to achieve it then we will solve many such problems , and at that time tech of wallet providers also will be advanced . we may see something new like btc in 2008 .
till then we can enjoy current blockchain tech .

You are probably hacked by a phishing attack, always double check that the link is well written.
It is better to bookmark the MEW page.

yeah maybe

i guess this gay got a phising attack. thats why his MEW hacked

i told you dont tell anyone your private key dude
keep them safe, and always check the web of MEW www.myetherwallet.com 
everyone can got phised if they're not carefully.

why it can happen if we know that myetherwallet security is very good almost using some verification first maybe you have been mistaken with what you do when transact so that your wallet is still open and it makes it easier for hackers to steal your coins.

your explanation is so unclear that I find it hard to explain, when your account was hacked how it started and how is it possible if you use double security.

No one will answer to his because already he maintained double security but how can the hacker steal your money. It means maybe the person clicked the phishing link and this might be chance for the hackers to steal the coins in ERC20 wallets.

he is right until now it is impossible for someone to get someone else's private key unless they are cracked by mengklick the pising link

Private key is not safe if you dont know how to place them in a safe and secured place and if youre aware to different hacking attempts.

MEW does not hold your keys for you. We cannot access accounts, recover keys, reset passwords, nor reverse transactions. Protect your keys & always check that you are on correct URL. You are responsible for your security. So its impossible to steal your funds in your wallet without undertaking some of phising sites.

The fault will be from you because there is no way another person will know your private key if you keep it safe and you are careful with how you display your information especially when you try to access your account. Private keys should be kept private and avoid exposing it to a third party and do not use a third party web service when trying to access your information.

It's also possible that hackers able to penetrate your computer or your device private keys is your obligation to protect and avoid being hacked, but since hackers will do everything as well better to do extra effort to avoid being penetrated by  this evil doers, we need to be more responsible if we wanted to
continue and being safe inside this industry.

[Danstan]

The most possible that the hacker did is not steal your private key with you but I think he uses some site wherein you used your private key to open your account, some are using this thing to have a look in your account key when you use it even just one time, so next time careful with the site you use.
