Title: Alert! MEW DNS Hack.
Post by: rommelzkie on April 25, 2018, 10:12:28 AM
Yesterday MEW DNS servers was hacked. Some people says that it happened before and repeated again yesterday. This is BAD for MEW because they did not tighten their security on their DNS relay or servers.

The total amount is on 500K USD but the hacker eth address account is pointing to another address with 17 million USD balance.

Is problem solved now? Can we use MEW now or wait more? Is someone from this forum suffered?

Its not yet done. there are some DNS server that are still affected by this DNS hack. DO not log in on MEW if the certification is not valid when you open the site.

Fortunately, I didn't have time to get tokens yet, so I didn't lose anything from this attack. I sympathize with the victims.
