Hello friends it seem like #myetheriumwallet is not safe again recently a friend account was hack and almost a million dollar worth of coins was withdraw from his account, when he called me i was like not possible to hack #myetheriumwallet private key, i ask him if he store his private key on his pc? he said yes but not complete meaning he remove some letters from the private key and only him know the keys to replace with.

He said he always brows with private mode (incognito mode).

He said he receive an email from the hacker to send him some dollar so that he will not hack his account the hacker threaten him if he refuse to send him the money he will hack his Account , my friend look it like is impossible to do that, because he is not careless, only for him to login and see a might roll of transactions on his Account, in fact is only God that comfort his not to kill person that day in fact the hacker was lucky he can not be trace.

below is the screenshots of the withdraw the hacker has done.
