Hi bitcointalk users,
I am really asking for your help and understanding. Tonight i was hacked. My wallet (0x005AFd8B9823e54A398505e88DC62042C00a528E) was attacked during the night and someone stole around $260k. I entered the wallet to check my funds and found that half is missing. How can this happen? I mean i was never sharing my private key with anyone and .json file was in safe place. I was logged on with MetaMask for a long time and last time i shared my private key was in Etherdelta account 2 months ago. On my opinion, private key or .json could not have been compromised physically or by anybody.
Really stupid that this scammer started with tiny DATAcoin in amount of 0.57 cents... then Arcblock, Dragonchain and Nebulas and again Monaco $8 amount and then others. It looks really strange. Because other half of $250k amount he didnt touch. Here is scammers wallet (0xF2b4e6123F05D6b7c44Fefa4F0AD243E7d3A81cB). The other half was sent by me after 9-10 hours after scam to new wallet. Please can you have a look and help me with this issue? Any advices upon this issue?
sorry if tokens have been stolen hackers, let alone.
because it can not be pulled back to your wallet.
Indeed the amount is very tempting. and I am also sorry to hear that.
and I recommend using two ETH wallets.
one for storing tokens, and one for trading, so do not happen for the second time something like this.
I agree. And that two wallets it's better to use on two computers. One online and one offline. That way you can do offline transfers.
It is very safe, but you still need to stay away from phishing sites.
