Scammers got $200K+ in 24 hours.

This is for those who wants to secure their savings and investments.

This is my story. One of the victims of phishing attacks. I had 5 ICOs tokens namely Humaniq, Status-IM, Somn, Mysterium and Patientory kept in MyEtherWallet. No doubt MyEtherWallet is secured but when you are victim of phishing attack then its like you are having sex with a stranger.

How it happened ? Attackers hacked Status IM slack bot reminder and sent an update to all members of slack ICO community.

I clicked on MyEtherWallet blinding which took me to phishing site exactly same MyEtherWallet.

This is the link where I was taken

Note: Please don't visit this link

Most of the people overlook the website details and becomes victim of attacker as I did. One thing I noticed when I clicked on that link, it was slow. It took more than 10 seconds to load that's unusual. Whereas genuine MEW loads in less than 5 secs for me on my internet connection.

Till here my stars were shining and the last move robbed me. I entered my private key and nothing happened just a red label with some message at the bottom of page, which looked suspicious to me and I quickly looked at URL but it was too late. I said 'Oh shit'. Shit happens and now with me. I went to genuine MyEtherWallet.com and I still see tokens were present and I planned to move it to new wallet. I created a new wallet and came back to transfer but it was too too late. Everything was stolen.

I had 0 ether in my account so attacker transferred .2 ether to pay the ether transfer fee and after the transfer is completed, remaining ether also taken back.

Game over. Please don't visit any link shared on Slack, Twitter, Facebook, Email ... etc Best way to access your online profile is from bookmarks.

This is address to which my tokens where transferred.
