Seems like you fell for some fishing scam and somehow executed a transfer.

Seems alot of people were scanned by this address with alot of different tokens.the most common scanerio seems to be that you were redirected to a fake MEW website.

Jasus I've been rightly done over here.

Big lesson learned

Any idea how it happened?

All I know is I 100% did not send that transaction!!

Like I said over on the airdrop thread..
I've setup a dedicated email address and MEW address just for the craic of collecting airdrops, so this ETH address had no 'sent' transactions from me - simply setup for the airdrop hobby I have.

I reckoned I had signed up for the Polymath so got onto support.
They asked for the ETH wallet that would have been used, and confirmed 250 POLY had been sent.
(You're probably asking why I hadn't seen them in the wallet. Well I hadn't setup coin address yet)
When I checked the transactions I seen the 250 deposit in 31/1 and the withdrawal on 4/2.
The cheeky bastard I think deposited some ETH for GAS to...well that's what it looks like.

So all i know is I didn't send them out and someone has/had full access to the MEW wallet.

I'm swaying towards a redirect to a false MEW address but even at that it's a stretch cause lads I can assure you I'm 100% always cautious.

More head scratching I think needed.

Right folks my advice (for what's its worth) is stay away from MEW.

I've just spent the last two days trying to get my head around what happened, and all I am left with is MEW is compromised in someway, shape or form at the core.
It's not about the 250 coins taken - I need to know how.

My MEW wallet was fully accessed by a 3rd party.

I'm always super save and checked all possible methods they could have used, checked all bookmarked links I have to sites are legit, and still can't get my head around this.

I see there is a split in MEW and practically two versions running albeit one under a different name, and I am wondering if something will ever come out as I'm convinced (along with about a dozen other btw who had simlar happen) that this is bigger than us being phising somehow.

Again; all just my opinion but this doesn't sit comfortable with me whatsoever

I dont think there is any problem with MEW. MEW creates the private key on your machine, their servers dont store it or ever know its contents.

Up over 38%, looks like a pump and dump.

I have a sell order set for .002eth that last night I thought was comical, but looking at the continued rise today is starting to look possible!
