Myetherwallet is open source and even though, they face technical issues from time to time, they are still a reputable service so If you're accusing them of stealing your funds, be sure that It's not from them.

If you lookup for this address in Etherscan.io, you'll see in the comments that this wallet is related to HOLA VPN vulnerability found a few days ago.

Hackers can in many ways steal your money. Your computer may be infected by a virus that steals your private key from the cookies. Therefore, it is worth using a hardware purse.

MEW is a good coin purse. Now scammers are very sophisticated and you need to worry about protecting your own money not expecting a miracle.

In my opinion MEW is one of the safest wallets. Probably the attackers got your private key through the HOLA VPN application a few days ago.

Any transaction will be made should begin from an anonymous browser.
That's the best way to avoid some browser add-ons that intentionally steal information. (Hola VPN for example).
