Can you give us more information? What account was hacked? What did you do? I'm pretty sure Etherscan(if you're referring to https://etherscan.io/) was never a wallet service, only a blockchain explorer to trace wallets and transactions.

I am concerned and sad to read your writing, that your account was hacked. Crime is always approaching every opportunity for the perpetrator. This will be a very valuable experience for you. Be more careful later, be more careful and alert. You better keep your password in a book, then you store it in your closet.

First of all, try to find out how they got access to your wallet.
Check your system for any malware, trojans in specific that might have access to your clipboard or have a keylogger installed. Also check your browser history to see if you've ever logged in through a phishing website.
What wallet are you using with Etherscan? Ethereum Wallet, Parity Wallet, MyCrypto, MyEtherWallet or Metamask?

I'm pretty sure Etherscan(if you're referring to https://etherscan.io/) was never a wallet service, only a blockchain explorer to trace wallets and transactions. Actually I have never done trade. As usual I worked for bounties. But in the night system was not allowing me to shut down the computer; that was only the difference yesterday. In the morning when I opened my computer and then only checked coins received from several ICOs were transferred.

One of my friends told me that if telegram chat is left open ; hackers can attack using telegram. Is it true?

Really most hacking is due to user error, logging in through a fake website or downloading software that contains malware. Another scenario could be installing a malicious browser plugin.

Difenitely you are no way out. This is why its so important to secure your account before doing something you didnt know. I think you got hacked by participating in Airdrop and you logged in on a fake MeW site and your PK got leaked.

I very much sympathize with you. It is very difficult, when you invest so much or earn money and then lose everything one day. It is already impossible to do anything. Do not worry, and continue to do crypto, maybe you'll get rich someday).

Try to calm down first, Because you can not get any help you can get if that is what happens all we can do is to comfort you with your lost and learn from this mistake, You should learn to put some necessary security measures and don't be satisfy in the given security of an online wallet, Well if you had resources and money for a cold storage wallet better get one if you don't want this things to happen again, Or if not Try to get further information in the forum to further protection for your wallet, And as well sorry for the lost.

Sorry for your loss. I advise you to investigate what went wrong with your wallet and how the hackers access your private key. In this way, someone from here may help you not to repeat the hacking incident. Don't give up , learn the lesson and next time make it sure that you will do the right way.

Deal with your loss and find out how your account got compromised, most likely you have visited a phishing site.

I feel sorry for you because there are no ways to recover your coins and it's possible you have filled up your private key on the fake website of myetherwallet then The hackers stole your coins through the private key.
