First sorry for my bad english and hello, My name is putra from Indonesia and i was college student right now. So here the summary, it's night here and i already received payment for working on blockchain-based project for about 1 month, I always use my eth address for about 2-3 years now and never change it which this one 0x2D923A09Bf3110b21381A528552700531dE83F63, Yes it's my mistake and I thought it was safe since i never submit my private key anywhere, Only through metamask and MEW (I really sure always checking the domain twice) and after that when receive the payment my Eth was suddenly gone! Sended to this address 0xf6727b084444e5d8ebd4e3ad18552b9985a700de, Not really sure how did he even get my private key or anything, After that I checked some procces on task manager and didn't find any suspicious proccess (Windows 10) and after tracking some address looks like some yobit user (From the address you can see) Was also hacked, This is really embarrassing for me because it's been a while in crypto and doesn't take any precautionary steps by changing addresses all the time and making me very stressed out now.

Anyway though I think all of you here already understand about some prevention step but I want to remind to always be careful guys!

Just want share some my experience that happen today and maybe i get some way here.

-Always install your windows regularly and activate windows defender if use windows 8 and 10
-It's better to buy some hardware wallet if have some extra money (My biggest mistake so far because didn't buy it)
-Prevent any download suspicious software, etc
-Always use different email address in case you store your data on the gdrive, onedrive, etc.
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Sorry for what happened but this does not really beling in this board. Maybe you can move it somewhere more apropiate.
In this thread I would advise to remain on-topic (as the title suggests) and try to explain how your funds got stolen.
And open another thread in services to look for quick jobs. I doubt someone will hire you out of pity.
Good luck and sorry again.
