Yes indeed, I have already read about this, and I think that this is very serious. Do not enter in your wallet now. It is necessary to wait for the official statement of the developers regarding this problem.

Why did MEW allow this ??? ... this is not the first time hacking. I think they will lose people's trust. They need to think about the security of their site.

It is sad...
The most interesting thing is that almost all Bounty campaigns require a MEW wallet.

Official Statement from MEW: https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988787116015415296
Quote
Couple of DNS servers were hijacked to resolve http://myetherwallet.com  users to be redirected to a phishing site. This is not on @myetherwallet side, we are in the process of verifying which servers to get it resolved asap.
Another Statement from MEW: https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988830652526092288
Quote
Google Domain Name System registration servers were hijacked earlier today at roughly 12PM UTC so that MEW users were redirected to a phishing site. This redirecting of DNS servers is a decade-old hacking technique that aims to undermine the Internet’s routing system.

Now it seems that the situation has been resolved: https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988836522974572544

It seems that everything is now back to normal, BUT PLEASE STAY SAFE and read/share this guide

I do not understand why there is not any other good wallets for Ethereum and its tokens. Myetherwallet seems too oldfashion and useless.

Which wallet can I use for Erc20 tokens except myetherwallet?

Is there any problem with Ledger Nano S?

Exodus and Jaxx is a good alternative I am not logging in to myetherwallet but checking my token using etherscan and ethplorer so far all my coins/tokens are intact, I will wait for myetherwallet official announcement, this is not good they should do a lot to secure their users funds this will hard their credibility.

how the fate of my assets residing in myetherwallet? do i have to move it? but I am afraid if I login to myetherwallet now I will lose my assets, so what should I do now?

With this hack I would not be surprised if there were drop in prices, MEW is one of the most widely used ether wallets out there and a hack would most definitely put panic on the hearts of some people. Although MEW has shown that the fault for the hack really did not come from them they are obviously trying to do everything possible to make sure everything goes back in place

Only stole 150000 $ for the cryptocurrency market is not a large sum. Sometimes the theft of money from the stock exchange has millions of dollars , but it is forgotten. Again I advise everyone to check the site for which you come, because there are many phishing attacks that steal our money.

The problem has been fixed myetherwallet should make the website secured since have been to crypto this is the second time MEW will be under DNS attack. I might stop using MEW and stick with mycrypto

This is disgusting. They hit us again. They knew that coins are getting better at this moments they take advantage to others account. Hoping for the recovery of MEW. Lets be safe everyone. Goodluck.

this is a good news for MEW, but i still have a question about this problem, last week i checked MEW and saw some changes in site, SSL was not worked fine. the "INS" was not seen on the HTPPS and i did not login to the site, but i do not know why site's supports do not pay attention this error last week. support must check the site every moment to clients be sure about security.

Thank you for warning us all. I also just found out if myetherwallet hit a problem like this. For those who have myetherwallet are kindly requested to be careful of your wallet. If necessary do not use myetherwallet for a while.

Post by: adekogbe on April 25, 2018, 02:28:21 PM
This news really got me worried, because I always believe myetherwallet to be safe from such attacks as long as you don't go to a fake address but the DNS hack is one of many things that can go wrong.

Post by: xiaoY on April 25, 2018, 02:33:51 PM
I don’t worry about the strength of myetherwallet’s technology. They are the absolute leaders in this field of ERC20 wallet, and there are very few hackers who can beat them.

DAMN! Not only MEW but other wallets site were spoofed too.All those people's wallet who had username/password saved in cookies(and accessed the website) during the hack were compromised!  This is very serious!!

ISPs need to get some real routing security.I have seen most of the telecomms not following basic routing protocols.SICK! Just because they are lazy to implement and co=ordinate they are compromising their user's security.Today we saw it happening too.RIP.

Yes, I hope to be able to recover very soon. Recently, the market has come to a good stage. It is really a pity that such a thing happened.

I know a friend who lost 15 ethereum due to this dns attack. Its funny that Myetherwallet.com is not taking responsibility for it. One has to wonder why people still use their wallet with all the failures of their system to safeguard and protect people's ethereum after all this while. This won't be the first time that Myetherwallet.com will be hacked.
