You can't do anything to recover your transaction, remember it's permanent transaction and it is not reversible. I guess you have joined in a suspicious airdrop that asking for your private key and make sure you are checking your desktop and then try to use anti-virus to identifying the malware that has been infected you desktop.

MEW is safe and probably it's because your fault with doing something wrong like give some personal information or even you give your private key to someone.

I don't know, to be honest, I don't trust mew's safety and I advise everyone to do the same. It's just better to be more attentive to it than to use such a system.

Mew is always safe if you take some steps always use metamask to send eth and tokens ,because it's never expose your Private key and also  blocks any phishing site if you visit by mistake.

I am sorry to hear that!
I use ledger nano s combined with myetherwallet, as far as I know it is a quite safe combination.

The central component in Ethereum is the “wallet”. An Ethereum wallet is what holds your Ether and other Ethereum-based tokens, and conceptually can be thought of like a real wallet.

It's safe except you doing something risky like giving your private key or something like that. If you want your wallet more safe, you can buy Hardware as additional secure.

I'm using mew for a year and my opinion that it pretty safe. If your money have been stolen from mew ot means that you pc can be viruses or your private key was stolen. You need more safety in your pc.

MEW is safe even before, but for past few days there are several complaints about MEW that hacks, maybe those people victims of hackers are not using a secured wallet, maybe some people using directly on MEW that directly download on their gadgets like MEW apps. Just used myetherwallet that secured and safe.

MEW never has a problem, they are open sourced and the team behind is very passion with their project, I have never seen any issue being found on the MEW side.

Myetherwallet is always safe as long as you always check the url and do not click on the random link online. I think you can also download the offline version of myetherwallet directly to your computer.

There is no possibilities to recover your ethereum or any other crypto, and this is kinda weird that you ask if you can do it.
But what you can do is protect yourself from hacking. Your eth can be stolen only if your private key was stolen, so this is your bad that it goes to wrong hands.
If you are on windows just install anti-virus. And don't download every single file from the internet, take care of your money

the only best way to secure your wallet is to install an add-on metamask in your frequently used browser.
MEW even strongly recommends this.
since the last hacking incident, I no longer use private key to login on wallet mew

once the balance in your wallet is lost, it can not be recovered again, so next time should be more careful

I agree with your opinion. MEW is still safe, provided you are always careful in doing things related to it. Collaborating MEW with metamask is the best way for now, and I'm using it.

Are you sure that you don't know how you are hacked? The most popular incident is that you are being hacked through a phishing link.

Yes, you didn't noticed that you logged to a MEW lookalike website and that private key that you entered there was saved to the hackers database.

And by the time he got a notification that there was someone that fall to his trap, he immediately open your wallet and transfer all of your funds.

MEW is very safe because you can't hack it through its system. It never has any bug, hackers can not penetrate its network. Any loss of the MEW account is usually due to the carelessness of the people. And that's not MEW fault. Protecting your account and wallet is your responsibility, not their responsibility.
