last night some hacked my pvt key and steal all my eth and major eth tokens

can I secure my eth address or its now in control of hacker ?  Huh

so sorry about this sudden incident, that is the problems with ethereum wallet please don't expose your details to external body to avoid being hacked. secondly wen ever you trade in some major exchanges like forkdelta, etherdelta please recollect to remove your private key; I mean logout before you close the window. they hack through exchanges.
I experienced the same but the hacker send ETH on my accounts and get the tokens that have value on the market. I have no idea how he stole my private private key and realized that it happened after I joined some airdrops which no earn until now. I created new wallet and transfer coins that left on the hacked account.
I think investors should limit their use of MEW wallets and instead Metamash will protect your wallet, and investors should trade on mycrypto instead of myetherwallet as it is now , encourage.
Mycrypto or MEW is basically the same, if you want to securely use both, make offline wallet by using their given source code in the github, it's way better than accessing it online so that you won't get phished into someone else's website giving away your private key.
Otherwise if you want a real security measure just buy hardware wallet instead and if you want an absolute security over your asset especially if you want to hold it for a long time, buy a mini pc and install wallet inside it, import privkey and never connect it to internet until you will spend the asset inside.
