last night some hacked my pvt key and steal all my eth and major eth tokens

can I secure my eth address or its now in control of hacker ?  Huh

Damn. Why can hacker steal your assets? Are you surfing on an unsafe website? Or your mistake that you input private key in the form airdrop/bounty?

Yes, you can always secure your wallet and your assets. But there is something you need to pay attention:
- If indeed you have been surfing on an unsafe website, you need to re-install your device, upgrade your antivirus, I advise you to upgrade to Antivirus  Pro. Maybe your device has infected some viruses and possibility the hacker steal all of your data.
- After the first task done, you just install MetaMask at https://metamask.io , and save the mnemonic phrase from MetaMask to the safest place!
- Or You can to buy a Ledger Wallet or Trezor, it's more secure to safe your assets.

so sorry about this sudden incident, that is the problems with ethereum wallet please don't expose your details to external body to avoid being hacked. secondly wen ever you trade in some major exchanges like forkdelta, etherdelta please recollect to remove your private key; I mean logout before you close the window. they hack through exchanges.

I experienced the same but the hacker send ETH on my accounts and get the tokens that have value on the market. I have no idea how he stole my private private key and realized that it happened after I joined some airdrops which no earn until now. I created new wallet and transfer coins that left on the hacked account.

Security is a very serious issue now a day. I think that you have done something wrong with your private key as to hack private key is really impossible here. It can be happened that you have shared your private key with other or you have given your key in any site out of mistake. So be careful when using private key.

There is no way to secure the private key now. You have to be very careful while surfing on the internet. Next time please be careful.

you should replace that, create a new address wallet, and be more careful later to avoid something like this, keep your private key safe, don't be fooled by fake emails or fake airdrop, bookmark the MEW URL address in your browser (and always access MEW website through bookmark manager in your browser), and only use keystore to login rather than privkey.

Just because your private key can not be hacked. Most likely it was hacked the place where he was kept. Now there's nothing to be done. Create a new purse and keep the private key out of reach of others.

People's MEW keeps getting hacked in the last few weeks. We have to take our security very serious so we don't have this re-occuring from time to time. Best thing to do is create a new wallet and be more security conscious.the hacked wallet ain't secured any longer.

I think investors should limit their use of MEW wallets and instead Metamash will protect your wallet, and investors should trade on mycrypto instead of myetherwallet as it is now , encourage.

Every post like this hurts me and I feel fear that is I secure enough, My all hard working's money is okay? I feel very sorry for your loss but you can't control anymore your wallet. I mean you can't back your coins but you can log in in your wallet and you may move hacker's left coin to another secure wallet. Do not use Myetherwallet, please. This is shitting. I know hackers can hack without your Private key. They just need a clue. I Pray for you that you will recover your loss mate. Best of Luck.

The only way for you to be hacked if you are using a mew wallet is to recklessly reveal your self on a phishing site, because most of the airdrops today are just scam and it is one of the way for you to get hacked.

Mycrypto or MEW is basically the same, if you want to securely use both, make offline wallet by using their given source code in the github, it's way better than accessing it online so that you won't get phished into someone else's website giving away your private key.
Otherwise if you want a real security measure just buy hardware wallet instead and if you want an absolute security over your asset especially if you want to hold it for a long time, buy a mini pc and install wallet inside it, import privkey and never connect it to internet until you will spend the asset inside.

To prevent in getting hacked you must not access your myetherewallet using your private key. We know that there's so many phising site that can steal our private key and maybe like what happened on myetherwallet website the DNS hacking. You can use your json file to login or use metamask wallet for more secure way accessing your wallet.

Sound advise, just use metamask for added security when sending ETH and other token. Also, do not open links that contains suspicious script or  urls. Phishing is rampant nowadays. You can also add the EtheredressLookup extensions if you are  using chrome.

Sorry dude but when anyone happens to get access to your private keys, it's a game over, that's one of the down sides of cryptos, you just have to make another wallet and secure it better this time, I will suggest you use my cryptos new desktop wallet.

Ouch, that is quite sad but instead of feel upset about that you should learn your lesson about the thing happen to you,
so in next time you can avoid that thing happen and warn others about your experienced.

If you pay attention to the certificate and visit the right website you will be fine.

It's quite unfortunate that you're fell victim to these hackers but I doubt there is anything else you can do to regain control of the account since there's no way you can change the private key.
