Read the post. Maybe you'll find something new for yourself. My friend had the same situation. Now he very cautiously owns a mayetherwallet.

This is a very sad news and I am sorry for your loss. If you may can you specify in details what happen to the situation where you get a phishing attack on your email address? This may help others too to prevent on making the same mistakes you did. Also hold on to the crypto industry this should be again your stepping stone to move forward and to be more develop.

Sorry for the loss, hackers are on prowl these days, they targeted mostly MEW wallets using phishing sites as well as sending unsolicited emails while demanding for some information from people thus gaining access to your wallet, I had been sent many emails by hackers urging me to give some information about my wallet in return for some tokens of course such  messages are deleted immediately.

It's terrible!   I feel sorry for anyone who lose money. Did you have strong password for email?  Did you write to tech support google? may be they will tell you how it happened..

I'm sorry to hear that. I myself want to buy a crypto currency for a long time and I do not know how to protect it. Now this has become a big problem

[Galley]

It is very distressing to hear about what happened to you. I understand how hard it is to realize that some scoundrel has taken from you what you earned with your labor for a long time. I felt the same feelings some time ago. I, of course, did not quite understand how they managed to hack MEW through the mail. But we need to be very careful about all suspicious messages.

I understand perfectly well that I myself became a victim of the same situation last year. Only at me then stole only 1800 US dollars. When I saw an empty wallet, I was just dumbfounded and did not understand until the end of what happened. And then after a while broke a purse at my friend, he suffered much more seriously at it stole the whole 8000 us dollars. And that was all his money, too. In such situations, you feel broken and hands really down. The main thing here is to find the strength and start to act on a new. Only with greater responsibility and care, to all security systems of their wallets and electronic devices. I will recommend you to buy a cold wallet in the future, and if you plan to hold the coins for a long time, it will help you one hundred percent.

No one is immune from scams. Unfortunately, when you enter the cryptocurrency and bounty market you do not think about security. Such stories make you think. Who has the materials with the safety recommendations?

[Slash61]

Sorry I can not do anything, so do not ever stop to rebuild your portfolio right now, hopefully this is a lesson to be careful and get good advice once this thread is created, and I think you're right in phishing the site accidentally or without you knowing it, there may be someone who knows your private key and secretly to take it, it could be.

[Bay_Harbour_Butcher]

I am very sorry to hear that, because it is very painful if exposed to such hacked like that and I am very curious how could it happen, can you explain? have you ever entered a private key on any website? because most likely due to phishing site

[Gaaara]

Do you only have a Private key and you're not using any other extension like Metamask or something else of a third party program? The problem users of myetherwallet is that they are accessing their account only by logging in their private key, having a third party or extension would've prevented what happened to you.

the probability of having a malware, spyware or other virus with your browser might have been the cause of them having an access to your account. If you like clicking ads or searching for free coins or accessing sites that is not fully secured makes the risk higher.

[Chupacabras]

I believe in security of MyEtherWallet, so probably bro it is initially your fault, more than a MEW company. Maybe hackers has hacked your PC or the store of your passwords.

[smoolae]

It's really hard to directly hack your MEW wallet if the criminal doesn't know your password/private key. Usually, when this does happen, a user who got hacked has without knowing it inserted his/her classified info into a phishing site or he/she is a victim of keylogger.

[Bitico777]

Very sad situation. I wish you to find the strength and the opportunity to return. And make a lot more money than you lost.

[whiteblue]

do you have been checking the SSL is safe? I think you are exposed to phishing victims. next time be careful of the link you click. my advice if you just want to check the balance check through etherscan

I don't know how I Explain my feelings. I Just lost all of my savings money. I was holding since January, I have been Holding to make again a good amount of Money. But at the end, my holding's output is, I lost everything because of my ETH wallet got hack! Almost 5K USD Stolen. All of my hard working money. I Don't know how can hacker hacked my wallet. Because I Kept very secure my private key, My friends are telling that hacker hacked my wallet by my email address. But how can someone hack only by an email address?

I Got a security alert from Google that someone has your password after then I changed my password immediately. Then after some time, I was checking my wallet to check new Coin. And then I Shocked! I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do 

I had a similar situation for a long time, but then I gave my private key to the attackers. After that, I am very closely watching their actions, and recently bought a Ledger and quickly convinced of its reliability. Until you confirm the operation on the Ledger your funds will not go anywhere.  A few days ago, MyEtherWallet was again attacked by intruders, perhaps you were one of the victims of this attack.

Oh, that is so bad my friend, I am sorry, this doesnt help to trust cryptocurrencies. But cryptocurrencies are very interesting for hackers because they are "anonymous".

[kingzpro]

That is really sad to hear, i can feel your pain, i think we should be more careful online and atleast we can set 2FA or sms authentication methods on all our important accounts like email, exchanges and wallets atleast.

[regtrade]

Very sad bro, you use hola VPN ? Or you login to phising site ? I always use metamask for my wallet. I suggest buy one hardware wallet for protect your money. Use antivirus to scan keylogger and virus, trojans. Goodluck !

[AlisaWhishie]

I'm really sorry to hear about that, mate.
But let's get into the details - where did you store your private key? Maybe it was in your Google Docs, so if a hacker hacked your email, he would also receive an access to your documents. Could it happen? I think it is important...
