My MEW Got Hacked

[Dao Thang]

maybe when you joined some campaign you did mistake paste private key . so please carefully about it.

[thesmallgod]

there are so many ways your account may be hacked but before I mention these ways, I will advise you not to send or receive any crypto to the wallet again because the person is having access and probably have your private key. back to the ways, your account can be hacked. 1. through phishing site. you probably click on phishing site and you enter your MEW detail through that. 2. store information about your wallet on online storage wallet or email. 3. somebody has direct access to your device that has your wallet detail on it. this might be your computer, phone  etc

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!

Clean your PC and transfer everything from your old MEW wallet to new wallet, you are most probably a victim of a phishing site. Always bookmark important websites and if possible one browser (FireFox) for transactions only and other (Chrome) for web surfing.

Recently I have heard a lot of reports about MEW getting hacked. Unless you have added security features, MEW is quite vulnerable to hacking. Most of the users store their Keystore file or private key carelessly, and this results in the vast majority of the hacks. It will be better if you move remaining tokens and ETH to another wallet.

[jyotianand01]

Same happens with me and my many valued tokens transferred by some hackers 3 days back and now i make a order to buy trazor offline wallet to secure my other coins from hackers eyes. This is the only solution i found to secure your tokens.

[dpui98]

Metamask cannot transfer Tokens if I am not mistaken, so I am using ImToken for now. There should be other wallets out there, for me I dont like to access wallet via internet browser, there's too many keyloggers, worms out there to steal from you

[maduranga]

i think you may be logged into a phishing site all ways look at the url before logging and don't use cracked softwares they might have keyloggers

[ruffles2016]

Generally myetherwallet hacks happen because of phishing websites you give your password yourself or you just clicked some exe and installed something like keylogger in your pc. These are things come to my mind first.

[kwakufavour]

Considering his experience, it could be the work of a keylogger. Keyloggers are not limited to computers but phones as well. Fornow transfer the rest of your tokens which are not locked to a new wallet to prevent further loss.
I think aside what has already been said, my best bet is to login to your wallet in a sandbox. That's what I've not seen anyone suggesting but it is very difficult if not impossible for your wallet to be hacked if you bookmark MEW site in a sandbox. Hope my advise will help you

[Nilupulie]

I think you have log on from the phishing website and immediately transfer your other tokens to new MEW wallet. Just book mark your Correct Myetherwallet address with your web browser and always log on from that link only. If you can use the hardware wallet in future and it is the most secure way to store tokens. Hop this will help for you.

[cardoyasilad]

Maybe you are one of the victis of MEW phishing site you will not notice the dot on the website you mistakenly enter your private key thats why they have acces on your wallet.

Thanks!

wow, you got stolen $ 50. It's bad, take a look at everything. Do you give passwords to your friends? Would you download the software at risk? If you have such malware, your computer has been hacked and you've lost everything. Please be careful in subsequent transactions. I can not help you.

In my opinion, there are several possibilities that your wallet been hacked. One of them is you probably entering a phishing site.
I recommend you to install Metacert plugin in your browser to detect phishing site. Then, always install Metamask to log in on MEW. Don't log in with your private key to MEW. It's very risky.

You're not the only one because most of the members here are the same things that happened to you. Many times that I heard their Crypto was lost in their wallet the main reason is they not care their private key. Private key is the most important to secure your funds and be careful on what you doing.

Ohh, im so afraid now.

[evichi]

Hacking is minus to the growth of cryptocurrency. It is something that most be taken serious. With the fair knowledge I have learnt so far it is important to safeguard private keys.  Using Miramax is an improvement in MEW. It helps to monitor fake sites.

[Hssn]

Probably you saved your private key in your pc with a file  or
Copy paste the key with a browser with malicious plunging installed.
Or you share the key By mistake to someone.

[Aliya Taj]

one thing that everyone should jealously guard is their private key, first make sure that your private key is stores away from the internet as possible, this is the only way the hackers access your coins.

[gg20222]

E carefull. Dont give your personal email and private key. Keep it safe. There are so many scammers/hackers here in this crypto world.

[Bokugo]

To maintain security by protecting your private key this is very important and in the cautious in opening the web,
most importantly make sure that your private key is stored away from the internet, as already discussed earlier
