This day is an unfortunate day for me as I just discovered that my MyEtherWallet account where my ICO tokens are parked has become a victim of phising and almost all of my tokens were withdrawn to another wallet. I think there is nothing anymore I can do about.

MEW is recommending 2FA but I find the procedure beyond my comprehension. We really have to be careful on the sites we are logging at as it can be a subtle phising site that can victimize us. I really regret why I choose to transfer my Ether to MEW...
2FA is the simplest and most effective solution to completely prevent account theft.
The procedure is extremely straight forward, you use a smartphone app that generates temporary codes. What about it don't you comprehend?

Being unaware of 2FA is one thing, literally losing everything because you couldn't comprehend something a 12 year old can do is completely another.
