Hey, guys. :)

Recently I have seen numerous complaints from people on the hacks of the purse.
Agree that it's unpleasant to be when everything that we earn a large labor stolen from us at one point.(
I think it will be useful for many to hear your opinions.
Friends tell us how you can protect your wallet from hacking?
What should not be done by storing cryptocurrency on the wallet?

You should move from myetherwallet to the mycrypto and that has created by the former developer of MEW.
Visit mycrypto.com and just try to download the desktop wallet and you will be able to put the more security to your wallet. Remember it has a lot of advantages compared use MEW right now.
For more, you can try to visit the site directly. I've used this desktop wallet and it's so easy.

Thank you my friend for your sympathy. I hope I will not have any difficulties and everything will turn out. If something does not work out, can I write you a personal message so you can direct me to the right path?

One thing I can give advice is that: do not attend the airdrops that require you send ETH (even very small amount) to their contract address to get the airdrop tokens. This is dangerous as most of the attenders do not know what is in their contract, so you might be risk of loosing all your token/eth (it will be sent somewhere/to their address) when the contract condition is triggered.

This is a very useful advice, I could not even imagine such a thing. Thank you buddy. That's why I created this topic, it will be useful not only to me but to all members of the forum.

What kind of wallet that you need it? just visit that site and it's available for all platforms ( macOS, Windows, Linux )

I already have a  MEW. I want to protect it and not fall into the hands of scammers. I will try to download an offline wallet to a computer, as you advised, I think this is the best option to save savings.

i have MEW and i didn't experience getting hack. i avoid directly accessing mew and i access it through metamask. i don't click suspicious links especially the shorten links because it has a possibility of being a phishing link. when checking your crypto use etherscan.

Hi! I think there is only one way to buy cold wallet. but as you know it's quite frustrating to buy cold wallet and put your money out before transaction.
so Ruby-X is going to use 100% cold wallet for users for protection. users can select the rate of using cold wallet from 70% to 100%.
You looked worried about protection, so i wanted to introduce about an exchange 100% cold wallet use is possible :) Thanks!

Unless you are using a cold wallet. Generally, safety is totally dependent on you as long as you do not ignorantly fall a victim to hackers baits. Be careful the links you click on, never drop your private key anywhere at any point and at least, rather than having to key in your private key every time to access your MEW, you can make use of metamask. It is a plugin and you can always make ETH transactions on it directly or connect it with MEW or token transactions.

However, the best solid way is to go the cold storage way using a hardware wallet but that comes with a price.

Bookmark the MEW website and keep your private keys very very safe. Don't try to login every time you want to check your wallet for tokens. You can easily check it on etherscan.io without the need to be logged in.

I think that the most effective way that can help today is downloading the local version of MEW, which you can download with github, it seems to me that the most effective way to secure yourself security.

Best way to protect your wallets is by installing anti phishing extensions on your browser. One example is Metacert that is available on Google Chrome. Another is using the Brave browser. And most importantly, keep your private keys safe and do not give them away or show it publicly.

It's very difficult to hack a wallet except they get a hold of you Private key. So what I'll advice.

If you use a desktop, only use Metamask to enter Decentralized exchanges. Don't give anyone your PK. I mean Anyone. (Well except your kids as a will).

Avoid logging in Everytime to your Wallet. If you want to see your incoming and outgoing tokens, use Eth Explorer of your wallet address.

Then get a separate wallet of your very precious coins and another for the others.

Then if you're always on the move, get ImToken.

For Prevention of Phishing sites, download Metacert it's a browser extension, when you're on a real Crypto site, it turns green. Otherwise it stays blank. It prevents you putting your PK in phishing sites.

It's been almost 10 months I'm using MEW and no problems until now. How to protect your wallet from hackers is very easy.

• Always check the webiste MEW first. many web domain phishing scams that are similar like MEW
• Bookmarks the MEW website to make it more secure
• Download Metamask
• Import wallet MEW into Metamaks if you're just going to send the eth

If you want to send a token. use access wallet Metamask are there in MEW, will automatically be entered without the need to upload your private key or keystore. that's it from me hopefully petrified protecting from hack wallet

If the myetherwallet are in a position that has been hacked, it seems like nothing can be done to fix the situation. because MEW only provides encryption and password, but also things that we can do is more cautious for belonging to the web site to avoid phishing scams, and does not store the password in the device.

buy a hardware purse, then you can not worry about security  ;)

MyEtherWallet (MEW) is the most common wallet used by the airdrop participants and bounty hunters to stock their tokens with because it is the compatible wallet for ERC20 blockchain but it is also the easiest wallet to be accessed by the other people. In order to protect our MEW, we must never give our private key to other person and never signed in it some pished exchange/s site.

It a good wallet. Myethereum wallet gives the wallet from your end. So you are the responsible for your account. So don't share the private key. This your wallet entry key. Don't use the private key every time. If you want to check the wallet balance use the ethereum address. It safe for your account. It wants to sell and exchange that time use the wallet key. It good future saving wallet. Use it carefully.

Get your hardware wallet, this is the best remedy to avoid hacking so you can protect your funds.

Trezor or Nano Ledger S is the solution for all the worries you've got, it may cost some money but its legitimately the best way to protect your funds. Everything on the web is dangerous especially if your money is at stake. As for MEW, bookmark it and don't ever share your private keys to anyone.

Most importantly, to protect your MEW, be careful of the site you get on as they are a lot of phishing website out there
My wallet once got hacked, the experience was a bad one. I had unknowingly gotten on one the phishing  site and mistakenly dropped a vital information.

Be sure to install 2fa and never store your private wallet key on your pc
