Events like you experience like me
And I learned some errors they turn out to make the same Phishing website as Myetherwallet
To be more secure use Myetherwallet extension from google chrome as the best security

Are you sure its not a virus or a keylogger that got your private keys?

this is maybe that happen to your PC, since the private key of my eth address always i keep it save from other people
and when i go to in MyEtherwallet i always see if the link is correct or no

MEW is a very functional wallet but also exposes you in a few places when you create the key pairs. The nice thing about MEW is you can very easily get to your tokens on the Eth chain. There are risks though if you just use it in its basic standard form and use UTC files. At one stage when you create a key pair your private parts are exposed on the screen. You can use MEW if you want, but it is much better to use a hardware wallet like Ledge Nano S that can also store Ethereum tokens.

I suspect one of the following happened:

1. You got malware on your PC that stole your MEW UTC file and uploaded it. It then keylogged your password and the attacker imported your UTC file and unlocked it with the password. This is the classic hack of a wallet.
2. You took a screenshot of your private parts during key generation or you wrote it down for record keeping and the picture got stolen.
3. The hacker watched your screen and took an image of the private key.

Number 1 is most likely. In future, if you use MEW in its standard form just use it for small types of tx like bounty collection and rather use a hardware wallet for high value longer term storage. You can use hardware wallets in conjunction with MEW which it the best way to utilize MEW. There is nothing you can do to get your coins back if you were indeed hacked.

It is too late for you. I suggest wiping your PC and only use an air-gapped PC for creating keys or use a hardware wallet.

Yeah too late for you.
Your experience just like me,most likely because malware,
And the solution is only wipe out your pc and start new.

People lose crypto everyday, it's either a keylogger/RAT or a fishing website that got your private keys without you noticing the domain.

And don't forget to install an antivirus, only cost you less than $ 100 per year, better safe than sorry

[kriptom]

It's a sad situation . Plus these events recently . Need to take precautions . Original and up-to-date Windows , A good anti-virus program .

[hahay]

This is bad news, to my knowledge myetherwallet is a very safe place to store coins but why this can happen, whether hackers can hack all that is on the internet? Is there no security that can prevent hackers?

[ttookk]

Priority number one would be to get any other coin to safety.

If the hacker got into your PC, other wallet are in danger, too.

[Kupid002]

I'm not experiencing any hack on my wallet and I hope it's not gonna happen to me.  I feel bad to you buddy hope you will recover it back from your other investment I'm thinking when I should hide my private key to make it safe for hackers.

i have to agree, please safeguard all funds and private information. and attempt to find the way he actually got in!
remove all data that is required by you to save and start brand new with a new operating system.
