I appreciate the warning, but it is your mistake on first place. You have to be more careful and protect yourself on first place.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Protect your wallets by using hardwallet ledger is so cheap why wouldnt you get one ? added security protection would be the metamask extension you could use it with your hardwallet and your mew wallet,im you are using these things there will be less chance of getting hacked,or phished by these notorious greedy people.

Well now you have learned your hard lesson,im sure you are going to be more carefull next time,buy some hardwallet and install metamask extension to protect your private keys,hardwallets are the most secured wallets today because of its security feature which arent too easy to break because it is created to resist malwares and viruses that affect your computer,plus there is recovery sheet that you can use if your wallet was stolen.

OP, you should be more aware while you click something from email, medium, slack, or anything which direct you to your wallet or anything which needed you to put your password.
Did you noticed something weird about the myetherwallet spelling?
Code:
  myethėrwạllet

See? It's MEW phising link because it's different with real MEW site

Code:
https://www.myetherwallet.com

Im sorry for your loss,but i have been reading the comments and you should do to you should follow the commentator's suggestion to get a ledger nano for more secured wallet,install metamask so it would encrypt the private keys of yours whenever you are using your wallet into transactions especially when you are using  decentralized exchanges,be more vigillant next time and move on mate!

is this really happening? i hope that i won't get similar experience like this, because maybe i will be very mad if my ETH got stolen, it's because as a trader and bounty hunter, i worked really hard to invest on ETH, i can't afford it if someone stole my token and coins.

I don't think OP would lie to us, i mean he gets nothing for doing that and it doesn't benefit him from any side. He was unlucky to click phising link which made his ETH got stolen. That's why don't click any suspicious link you found on internet

You obviously didn't go to the original site otherwise you wouldn't have been phished. You must have clicked on a phishing link, or been redirected at some point. In any case, keep watching the address, he might end up sending the payment to a known address that requires KYC, then you can finally catch them.
