Hi, Today I checked my wallet and I noticed someone transferred 84(50$) CS tokens from account to 0xd8490b0a7db82be84d99ff6e047ed07769b7a6eb address. I know it is impossible to get those tokens and it is not a lot but I want to know how my account got hacked. Is there any way we could track how the person got my wallet key? Any help would be appreciated. here is the transaction https://ethplorer.io/tx/0x3fbc60b142e314da6512881cd5141c8768e6ece19fd1756c47deb37827a7a7ec#pageSize=100 Thanks! Edit: I have Zero ether in my account so I cannot transfer remaining tokens to another account. In order to transfer I need to buy ETH. Is it a good idea to buy ETH and transfer to old account then transfer remaining tokens to a new address? My current ETH address https://ethplorer.io/address/0xd66e6580605a90020b63c0f922311f5bdc36725c

How long have you tokens there? If relatively long, what were your last susceptive activities in the Internet with MEW opened? I hope, we can not consider airdrops and forks demanding private key, yep?

I have tokens for one week. I will always have a lot of tabs opened in my chrome so I don't remember the susceptive activities while opening the MEW wallet. I think I installed a couple of chrome plugins recently. Do you think one of the plugin tracking MEW info? I also noticed the person transfer 0.018 ether to this address https://etherscan.io/address/0xf565adb21e7ea1c7fd3de8f4f29421e96c0659f2 and then transferred to binance wallet.

You surely got phished,that is why i strongly recommended to install metamask extension whenever you are using a web browser because theres a lto of phishing sites out there it could copy almost all the websites that will require your private keys,decentralized exchanges like what happened to etherdelta,that i why metamask extension is a must to have to protect your private keys.

This is very sad! P.S. Someone can describe the approximate measures of affordability from scammers. I myself use MYW + METAMASK, but still, I always worry about my wallet!

I highly doubt that MEW was hacked. I believe that your key may be compromised. Protect your private key, this is the first and most important rule of all.

i am getting worried more and more because there are a lot of people being hacked the wallet Don't use metamask, and do not use MEW if you do not have a hardware wallet or a safe encrypted wallet. I do not understand why there are a lot of people still doing the same, is like if you like to get hacked. Sorry, but there is no going back in here, just buy a hardware wallet.

I am using this wallet mostly for airdrops for small amounts so I did not buy a hard wallet.

Yeah, i believe in that too some of as used keylogger for easily connected to the main account of our wallets and this is wrong procedure. This can be prevent if your computer will turn off everytime you don't used so that the connection of IP will not be detect by hackers were mostly the beginning of this 24/7 accounts log on.

sincerely speaking i can just emerging the numbers or rate of hacking all this days, i was recently hacked on MEW, what should i do to trace that hacker or what will i do to stop the rate of hack on MEW. the person made way my heart earn money from my wallet. i m giving those hacker last chance or they will go early to grave. i will use the transaction ID to work against that person if you know you recently hack any wallet just return the tokens or coins that you stolen from them including mine.

Friend, I sympathize with you. There are a lot of ways to lose data. From viruses, to the substitution of the site. Make sure that private key is out of the reach of anyone else. I advise using MetaMask for your browser. He will keep all your tokens and ether safe.

I think you might clicked a fishing mail link. I suggest, You should transfer all your tokens a new wallet. They will hacked your other airdrop tokens..

Mayb u stored ur private key online and it was hacked. I advise you take your private key offline and write it on a paper and keep it safely. I advise you move out all your funds from the comprised etherwallet I don't want to believe you were phished. But always try to check and ensure that the link is https://myetherwallet.com before you input ur private key.

Why not to use metamask? Is metamask more secure than MEW? Also, what do you guys think about the Trust Wallet app? https://trustwalletapp.com/As I can see a lot of reputable projects are becoming partners with them. For example Havven, Kyber, Changelly, Poa...

Then its time for you to clean up your PC especially the one you are using in accessing your wallet. Maybe you have open a site in which you were phished. There are alot of clone sites today and you should be careful in opening them.

Didnt use metamask and hardwallet wallet? that is why you got hacked these two imporant things will give you more secured wallet and you should be using both together,metamask will be your protection from these phishing sites because it will block you from entering potential scam websites or fake ones.You probably got phished,or else your computer is infect with malware,i suggest install malwarebytes.
