Finally I am Victim Now! Myetherwallet got Hacked

[dark08]

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 

Do you ever use decentralized exchange site? or putting your private key on some phising site, submit in some bounty campaign or do you log in when mew are in hacking mode? This is the possible reason why the hacker hacked your mew, sorry for your loss and now your hardwork to earn & hold money turn into nothing because of that hacker.

I am really sorry for your situation, anybody that have not been a victim won't really understand how terrible it feels. Put yourself together it's not the end of the world, you can still pick up

What does your email have anything to do with your myetherwallet?  Unless, you kept a backup of your MEW in your email, there is no way that hacking your email would compromise your MEW.  Another thing is you could of tried to access your wallet on a fake MEW website.  Always bookmark it.  

[Ricowavy]

It is quite unfortunate....seems your were phished. You don't have to give it up. 5kusd is some serious money. I hope you get over it and pick yourself up and be more stronger.

I think MEW is a fairly reliable wallet, but seeing as the number of people who have stolen money every day growing I have a question, why do not the developers to provide better protection for their users?

It will never related to your email bacause it's never asking your to give your email. There are some possibilities
1 through use the phishing link
2 you are clicking any suspicious link and get malware that stole your privatekey

it looks like someone has being infiltrate in your pc and i guess it looks like through a phishing site.

With so much hacking on MyEtherWallet that has hurt many traders, I think MEW needs to improve their system in the future. Because some of my trading friends also become victims of the hacking.

tHE CRYPTO WORLD IS a strange one, just as it is interesting, Hackers keep coming up with ne ways to get hold of your tokens all the times nd each time they o, the come up with a better way, thats why caution is advised all the time anytime, its quite unfortunate what happened, but you should learn from it,  Invest in hardware wallets, they are safer

[Question123]

So sad for you, everything now is danger because we are in online world who are a lot of hacker and scammer. And anytime possible other people hack by the hacker we need to be careful and keep strong or privacy and security.

[Roukawa]

What happens on MyEtherWallet? It seems like there is no more security in this wallet. Because of what you told to us, I am scaring also with my coins that I stored in MEW. I do not use any cold storage wallet and I think it is hackable whatever we will do. I guess we should seek for other wallet that applies ERC-20 token. I am also looking for that.

[Reid]

If it was just e-mail which had been hacked then it is impossible. You didnt save your private key anywhere your email right? Or try to send it to yourself so that you can open it anywhere?

If that is not the case then the possible hack may came from a rental shop. Have you tried to open your etherwallet account in other computer?

If it is still not the case then there is no way the hacker have gotten into you. You may have synced something with your gmail account. Once that is done anywhere you open google chrome with your gmail logged in will see all the browsed pages and the cache.

That is the only culprit that I know.

[QueenW]

I'm sorry that now there are so many scammers who want to get rich at someone else's expense. Now I'm also scared for my money and I want to transfer them to a hardware purse. I think that it will be more reliable.

[Mr.frost]

Sad to know that but still hold on,hopefully in time you could get more than that.Crypto really offers great opportunity for common people like us.Hope this kind of incident will not happen or can be prevented in the near future.

[jayco25]

Its really bad news to the community that some people hacked. I think you enter some phishing website then you put your private key or you save it to your email and when they hacked your email they see your private key. In the world of crypto always be careful and keep your private key better not to save you key on social media account or even on your emails.

Sorry about that and hope you take a break ( relax ) leave market and come back again, never give up. Learn from your mistake, if someone send you link into your email, social media, telegram channel, please check again if you don't know the person just ignore it or delete ( unfriend ) for safety. One advice, never put your asset into your wallet/ exchange, better you replace your money into currency and use it only when needed.

There is a tweet from Myetherwallet that chrome has been attacked and those who are using Myetherwallet from that period of time need to transfer their funds to a brand new wallet. I think that is the reason for this hacked.

[juljon18]

Sorry to hear about the theft you incurred.  Make sure you stay in the crypto game and make it back x 10.  Your luck will swing.  Maybe you should consider a hardware wallet for this go round. I do not use one myself but stories like yours are pushing me in that direction.

[cikey]

How do you log in to MEW? I suspect that this step caused your private key to leak. The safest way is to log in with the browser plugin.

[Ayiranorea]

Hacking with myetherwallet is quite a common thing in large scale. When it comes to the individual use of myetherwallet, the hacking possibilities and the hacks taken place till date is low. Better is to have good learning how to use it,that'll help stay away from hackers.
