MEW wallet [compromised/hacked]

[TopTort777]

You know what is strange - hackers stole only part of your tokens. He still had left some tokens that has value. Usually when a hacker get an access to users wallet, he steals everything, but you still have 400+ USD worth tokens.

I think that the trick is, to wait till you deposit ethereum to withdraw these tokens, send some ethereum to outrun you and steal again. I would recommend to never use this wallet again.

Yes, he will not be able to get all the tokens because of the expensive gas fee, and almost all the assets have only a small amount so far.  But maybe if there is another increase in some remaining tokens he might do the theft of my wallet address again.  I will never be able to use this hacked wallet again like sending/transferring tokens here.  But I still have a plan to transfer them to my other wallet address when I can have ETH.

You had a 5600 Herocoin [PLAY] which worth ~$200, why don't you withdraw it from this address? You will spend $10-$15 on the fee, but the token value is slightly higher, I think it is worth it. Of course, if it is possible to sell that token. (I never heard about them).

My thought is that you have move the remaining token but you not using the wallet again is not enough and what I think it important now it you not making the same mistake again that will lead to the hacking of your wallet because the MEW wallet was detected to be vulnerable to attack which is the reason why people are advised to use Metamask.

Yes, I'm thinking about whether to sell it or just transfer it to another wallet address.  I also think you're right and I'll get them as soon as possible because the thief might attack again at times I don't know just like what happened which is very deep and still in bedtime.  .  We will not be able to monitor it 24/7 in case he sends ETH again and precedes him to use it to transfer tokens.  So I'm going to make a way now for me to get started.

I haven't used Metamask yet.  With Trust Wallet and Coinomi only.

Metamask is to be use online for payment security but Coinomi desktop version was once said to have vulnerability. However, Trust wallet and the mobile version of coinomi are still secure for making payment but I hope you understand Coinomi wallet is custodial multiwallet though.

In this case, I think it's best to send it directly to exchange until you think about what you're going to do with these tokens. From there, you will most easily forward them or exchange them for another currency that interests you.
As I can see, PLAY is listed only on Kucoin and has >$150k daily volume, I don't think you'll have a problem selling or exchanging them easily.

I only use the mobile version in the same wallet.  I don't know that Coinomi is custodial, because as far as I know it is also non-custodial like Trust Wallet, you hold the recovery phrase of the account.

Coinomi is a non-custodial multiwallet and your private keys are stored securely encrypted on your device at all times. ...

This is the best option for me to do, because if I send it in my wallet, I will consume a lot of gas fees in case I think of selling it in exchange if I send it in my wallet.  In case I have another problem, my 2FA is enabled in my Kucoin account, I no longer have access to it when I lose my phone.

That's bad. I hate Google authenticator 2FA.
Did you try this https://support.kucoin.plus/hc/en-us/articles/360014897913-Google-2FA there is an explanation of how to remove 2FA if you lost device?

if something means help to you, I have verified account on Kucoin and also access to my GA application  I can exchange this token for you and then send you back as any other currency, probably one with a low withdrawal fee. It will cost you nothing on my side except covering the transaction fee.

That's what they calmed but you believe in how the wallet is governed not their statement and the last time i checked Coinomi is not different from the coinbase wallet.
Can we consider a wallet that only gives you a recovery phrase for both BTC, ETH, etc without the private keys which you can use to import the wallet on another wallet provider as non-custodial?
Some project owners will always tell lies.

I use their android mobile app.

Well now everything is clear. Android is unreliable platform especially for storing wallets

Thank you so much for your willingness and effort to help me, I really appreciate it.  I have good news in my KuCoin account, the 2FA code is on the cp that being used by my sister.  I thought it was there with one of my cp that was stolen.  I already verified my account there.  The only thing I lack now is ETH, I thought the one I sent earlier from my Trust wallet would be enough.  The content only costs $8, $3 for the fee so only $5 went into my account.  More or less $ 23 is the required fee for the transaction, that's slow.

Hey, I'm back for this after a year.

I just member this after reading about stolen tokens on another thread the other day. So I went back to the wallet and checked the transactions. After making the last post on this thread a year ago, I stopped monitoring it and move on, I never used the wallet anymore. So now, I find out that on April 30  last year, the thief sent the stolen tokens on Binance.

I want to file a report regarding this issue to the Binance support team, do you think they will respond and make help to trace the owner of the address and make a move?

I am not expecting anymore that token will be sent back to me, it's already a long time ago for me, and many things might already happen like trading/selling the asset but at least I want his address to be marked and used by a thief and get his account frozen especially on Binance which can only happen if  I submit and provide the detailed/substantial evidence.
