Can exchanges steal my ether

[Tahdayi]

I logged in to etherflyer with my private keys and after months of leaving it logged in, I scanned my wallet today and only to find out that my ether has been moved to a new wallet. Is that my fault as in a friend of mine stealing my coins or it may be from the etherflyer team?
All my other wallets are intact.
My wallet address on etherscan: https://etherscan.io/address/0xd18a2aea95b1e992402be37e368c510fba8b7ae0
Now moved to: https://etherscan.io/address/0x7ab9da14bf20fad590201c52b946bad767a584f2

Please I need your your advice. Thanks

If the money was transferred to another wallet that you do not know, the money will not be returned already, somewhere means you lit your private key .

[nakata121]

The main cause is access to your wallet address has been known by others, so that, they can freely take the ether that you have and it seems there is someone knowing the private key that you have or maybe you have also entered a site with other devices so, you forget to log out from the site and as a result other users will be able to access the wallet you have, my advice is better if you change your wallet address in the future.

[Duzter]

The possibility for your case  :

1. You have put your private key on phising site.
2. Somebody are know your private key.

Maybe you remember something you have done with that listed above

Those mentioned were the possible ways by which your funds have got moved to some other wallets. These days more phising websites which resemble same as the original website are into existence. It is our responsibility to cross check the url as well have a bookmark of the true website. This will help us keep the funds secure.

I guess your private key has been stolen and they have accessed your address. Check your computer for any malware

Are you sure that your wallet private keys have not been compromised? A common misconception among newbies is to believe that exchanges are stealing their money when in actual fact, it is the user who has been hacked.

[mr_random]

The possibility for your case  :

1. You have put your private key on phising site.
2. Somebody are know your private key.

The first case looks more realistic because the points take the theme to this destination. Some people go to the internet club and they try to use their private keys with the freshly instaled browser but they forgot the problems can follow the in the background of the public places. The security cameras have a memory which can be used for reading the QR code of the private key and the staff of the internet club can use this information for stealing.

In my opinion, that's impossible, exchange steals your ether, and there are a number of possibilities that you need to test,
it could be that you entered into a phishing site, there could also be someone who know your private key, or you activate VPN when accessing your private key.

[thisnewcoin]

It is not stolen from etherflyer, it might be hack by someone else. I used Etherflyer exchange, they seemed trusted to me. If you don't log in 30 days, then the browser automatically logged out from your dashboard. But still, you should contact the exchange team. Good luck.

You can give the exchanges the secret key only from the new wallet, which you must create separately for each exchange and transfer tokens or the amount of Ethereum that you want to trade on this exchange to them. Once you have finished trading, you should immediately withdraw all your coins to a secure wallet. This is the only way your funds will be safe.

[Teawhalee]

This is like of strange ! Kind of the first of this kind I have heard . The only way that this could be possible if a result of sharing your keys with a third party either knowingly or unknowingly ! No hack to a wallet without an approval from the owner .

[Mila52]

I don't get it why you would enter your privatekey to an exchange, its not like you can't create another account into it. Etherdelta and forkdelta though allowing traders to login with privatekey, you should just create new account and then send your funds there. There may be transaction fee but those are just few coins.

You think too so good about decentralized exchanges. There we need to enter our privatekey. I’ve already lost the ether twice after EtherDelta's trading .I always trade from a new wallet and keep a minimum of ether on it only for commission.

I have never visited the etherflyer but is it possible to log in there forever same as the forum? did you gave your private keys to your friend? why is it that your friend has been mentioned? it's also possible that you have logged in to the wrong website and a phishing site.
I just don't get it that why you have thought it's your friends fault. It should be your negligence since it is your private keys.

I mentioned my friend because most of my friends are into crypto and they can sneak into my pc when I am away without my notice.
And with the question that I log in forever, Yes, I didn't enter any password before logging in again. I was sent to my dashboard the moment I entered the etherflyer site.

[rdewilde]

You logged in with your private keys and forgot to logout, that means someone might have accessed your account or someone might have accessed your private keys. Since you are logged in, it is easy to access your wallet which your friend might have done. Sorry about that, since you are the type that don't normally logout of exchanges, henceforth I think it's wise to lock your browser applications on phone or lock your PC where you normally access your exchange account with, so that someone will not ask to access the internet with your phone and ends up accessing your account; if possible learn the act of logging out. And also, store your private keys in a safe place and trust no one.

[dataispower]

Please never import private keys directly to any decentralized exchange. Always use trusted web 3 browser extensions like Metamask to get access to the DEX. Sorry to say but your funds are gone forever and never use that wallet again to store ETH or ERC20 tokens. I don't know about the credibility of Etherflyer, I've never used the DEX. 

[key4co.in]

You actually made a mistake by importing your private key to a DEX. What I normally do is to create a wallet on the DEX and send the tokens I want to trade to it plus little ETH as gas fee or I'll use Metamask to connect to the DEX. Just forget about the ETH, it's gone so move on already.

[Crypto5060]

It's likely your wallet was compromised by someone else who made the withdrawal from your wallet. It's very unlikely for an exchange to steal from users.

This is the reason it is always advisable that you should bookmark the link of every website you make use of, so as  not to get phished. I have never heard or had any issue with etherflyer. So I think the problem should come from the fact that you exposed your security detail to a third party. Unfortunately, there is no solution, just try as much as possible to forestall any other future occurrence. Meanwhile, do not use that wallet again.

I think that your account has been compromised already either as a result of loosed password, exposed wallet key or the exchange in charge, I don’t know how trust worthy the exchange is because I have never used them, so I would not easily accused them of stealing your fund, it might not really be them, which I am quite sure that you have let your key loosed to people around you and one of them must have been tampering with your account.

What I do not understand is that aspect of moving it to another wallet, the wallet in question, do you have access to it as yours? If you still have access to it and you are not certain of what happened, I think that you should just create some new wallets that are more secured and then you put in those coins into them.

[Kezacky]

in this case I conclude that the chronology occurs because you access it through a pishing site, this is very dangerous for your assets and can cause you to lose everything.
on the other hand there seems to be someone who knows your private key, at least that person is among your close relatives.

[Leonardo7]

All my wallets connected to DEX always automatically log out whenever I shut down my PC. Check to ensure your wallet has not been compromised so you don't lose a further asset. It's possible your browser has malware or someone has access to your private keys. I will advise you never use that wallet ever again. And you should try transferring some dead coins to that wallet and see if it gets transferred out.
