Yeah be careful mate, security is something I neglected too back then and I paid the price. Better be safe w/ a hardware wallet.

thank you for the sad story you have posted on this forum. because with this incident we token holders will be more cautious again in securing our tokens. if necessary create a new wallet specifically to store all tokens to minimize hacking ..

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 If it was secured the way you told it was, then why is it still hacked? I have been in MEW for so many years now. But I haven't been hacked once. Maybe there's a problem where you secure it. Don't worry. Just don't give up. If you lost that much then you will be gaining more in the future.

What I know to prevent getting hack is to make our passwords secured. The first thing a hacker would do is to find our personal details which includes our email address. Then the hackers would find a way to unlock our passwords.

I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do This probably happened because you registered an account at a unsecure website with the same password as your email account. What these scammers do is test the password you register on their website against the email account you registered. This happened to me before and this is why i always have different passwords for secure-looking and unsecure-looking websites. Also 2FA is always a good idea.

I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do What wallet are you using? a wallet that uses privatkey should not have the feature to change the pass, even if you use a wallet like an exchanger instead of after a password change we are not allowed to withdraw our funds for 24 hours. From what I know about your brief explanation it is possible that the email you received is fake that will direct you to the fake wallet website do you use.

I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do This is so bad and i feel very sad as i know what it means for one to have all his savings taken away. It is overwhelming and suffocating. However, this is why security is a must in the crypto space. I had to move some of my funds to a hard wallet just to make sure that it is safe. So sorry for the loss but i believe you will recover

I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do That's clear Phising. And the possible victim you have is an email saying that your password has been changed. Because the MEW password is not changed. You may have placed your privatekey on the Phishing Site and that's why it was stolen as your private key. So we should be careful because many hackers are now active. My only advice is to use the Json file or metamask.

Just be very careful next time mate and dont lose hope, you'll gain it again.

you may get a phishing email, where the hacker sends fake warning emails from Google or exchanges containing links to change passwords or private key on fake websites made similarly to google or exchanges. so any activity that occurs on the fake website has been recorded by hackers.

How can someone hack myether wallet with your email? I don't understand what you're saying. Because my ether doesn't require any gmail. If you store the private key of MEW account in your emails then hackers can get access to it whenever they successfully hack an account. That is why it is better to print out MEW on paper. Also, avoid using public computers for personal use.

this is nonsense, when you create a wallet, you do not give your mail, and of course there is not your password in the mail, it's hard to tell how you were hacked, maybe it was a computer virus

I Just want to give up, can't think what should I do I'm so sorry to hear that bro. but my pardon , can you tell us which wallet are you using for ? because on your explanation above you are not give an overview are you using MEW or Exchange wallet ?. for safety and security reason. please don't save your coin on exchange wallet because that's unsecure, then if you are using MEW, keep your private key In the safest place. and more safety if u store it on TREZOR or NANO LEDGER.

Reformat your pc if possible maybe malware are installed in your pc. don't use any other pc than yours.

SO sorry for your loss. Such cases funds are hardly recoverable. I will suggest you find out how the hack happened and take necessary precautions so it won't happen again.
