My monetha tokens dissapeared from myetherwallet - please help!

Question

I recently bought Monetha(MTH) tokens and transferred them to my wallet (mytherwallet.com). Within few minutes i saw a transaction where in my tokens were transferred to another address.

Here is the transaction 0x5962a49c229d343814b77c6d6b929ef2c22de626711d5f10861eaf926793b77a

The address it was transferred to 0x9ee24f7ef4c6ff9c0b681af178d763d5eca70968

Is there anyway I can get them back?

Answer 1

I'm really sorry, but it sounds like you may have been the victim of a phishing attack, likely from a DM via Slack or Reddit.

MyEtherWallet is a client-side wallet, which means you hold your keys. If someone gets your private key (keystore file, mnemonic, passwords), they have complete access to your funds. There is no stopping transactions, canceling transactions, or resetting passwords. Once a transaction is on the blockchain, it's final.

Report

1. Look through your history for any URLs that you accessed & entered your private key on. Typically, fake MyEtherWallet, EtherDelta, or similiar Ethereum-related sites.
2. Fill out the form here: https://etherscamdb.info/report/
3. Include your address, the URL you visited, and any additional information, including which Slack channels you were a part of or how you accessed the malicious link. Include a screenshot, if available, of the message sent. You can upload the screenshot to imgur and include it as a link with your add'l details.
4. Report to Google: https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ & https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_badware/
