thank u for early warnings it is better to careful than regret

Thanks for the news information warning, hopefully all people will be more careful on accessing myetherwallet, and this is the first time I heard myetherwallet being hacked, maybe some hackers now are entering on the line of myetherwallet. So let's us wait guys if there are some another complained about myetherwallets being hacked.

Guys, share this among friends and known groups. Let everybody know. Need to be careful till this is sorted.

Thanks.   This happened to my work website once.  I would have expected MEW to be more secure from hackers spoofing it though. 

Someone lost 85 ETH apparently, damn. This is bigger than I thought but really shows the importance of a hardware wallet.

Damn a few hundred ethereum in about an hour, I guess crime does pay huh.

Thanks for the information, I think this is phishing and how it is be avoided? i'm afraid that it will happen to me also, I want to have counter measure for it.

MEW is not as safe as we think. can be hacked easily. like etherdelta. the same way hackers. Be careful with our coins. It is best to store the coins in the nano ledger nano

I'm glad to see the green agriculture project. Hope to make outstanding contribution to modern agriculture!

Thanks for the caution but can they really steal my tokens even if I just checked the balance? An ethereum address is enough already to check the balance of the wallet. I think they can only hack when an individual enters their private key. Eth address would be an exception if that is the case. My friend just recently opened his MEW account and so far, nothing happened, maybe because he did not enter his private key.

base on what i read in reddit make sure that you do not use public DNS 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 at this moment. it seems that this DNS has a problem to the server that can steel your private key. my advice right now use a metamask and google authenticator  so that it will verify first in every transaction you made. and if you dont have any transactions right now to your wallet its better not open at this time.  

SO the problem are public dns 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4  ? If I don't use them I can use MEW or better wait? I have to do some transactions tomorrow...

It is a good thing that you shared this, gonna share this to my friends.

I think that he was compromised somewhere and get hacked the url is so exact the only thing is it isn't secured so one thing is for sure it is really a hack. So guys lets be vigilant and avoid any phishing sites and emails.

Hacker have startet to send the ETH arround

Some wild accounts he have  >:(

wow, thanks for the information, I did not expect very dangerous if using google DNS like that, I actually used to use DNS google server 8.8.8.8 because of the problem of connection on my internet, it is very useful than regret later thank you

Yeah ! I heard about it too . I think that any type of website can come under the radar of phising attacks .
All the non -aware users must go through the warning that is shown by myetherwallet instead of skipping and ignoring it . It clearly tells about the risk of being attached by some phishing websites . You  can also use meta mask as an extension to prevent yourself from the attack . The safest way of recognizing the original site is by looking at the https of the site .

MYETHERWALLET is now facing a DNS problem.

Phishing sites began many popping up without us even knowing and this will be very dangerous. I hope this news be learning for others also to always be cautious in opening up a site, especially suspicious.

I think this is a virus that probably changed the URL to its own and the user entered the data itself, then made a transfer of the crypto currency to another wallet. If the theft occurred through the DNS, then you need to think about it.

My My! 216 ETH till now.
That could be worth half a million in coming time.
I hope for no further losses of other people and encourage everyone to always be updated with the news and try alternative and more secure ways to store cryptos.

I am glad that i stumbled upon this thread because i am beginning to transfer from myetherwallet.com to idex just right before i read this but fortunately i didn't attempt to open the website after seeing this topic. Public DNS like 8.8.8.8 are vulnerable to attack and phishing, that's why i never used this public DNS for my internet. I hope the MEW had corrected this issue.

Great!!  :o every minute lots of ETH is being stolen right now. And it looks like this process won't be finished at all. Thank you for this information. Really unpleasant thing.  >:( Even do not know how to use it in future and wheather to use MEW at all. Hope it will not take so long to solve the problem.

Thanks for the information, I think this happened to two of my friends today pls let everyone try to be more careful

thanks for the information. i have just checked it and you're right, there was a ddos against mew. so i don't login in the next couple of hours. at least i know that the funds are safe if i don't login (:

I know the information about the MEW hack but not worry because I do not leave money in the wallet MEW that only temporarily to transfer to Coinbase only. But what is the use of Google's 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 DNS lead to be hacked? Can you explain more to me with people understand?

CraZy. They use this addess now

These reports are very annoying. I don't like such news. I hope too many people won't be victims. There must be a solve now.

This is the benefit of being active in the forum because you are always updated on things like this. Fortunately, I did not log into my etherwallet. One tip I can share you, always bookmark those true websites.

I do not believe that this ethereum wallet can be hacked. Most likely the owner with the help of phishing sites gave his private keys. In other ways, the etherium wallet can not be hacked.

The hacked MEW wallet is a shock to investors in the market cryptocurrencies. Hacker has intruded into the DNS system to manipulate the number of cryptos in the wallet of users, the number of ETH lost to the number 215: (So avoid the hacking of MEW wallet, people should not store cryptos in e-wallets, should use hardware wallets to avoid risk.

I do not think that with the official MEW site, something happened, most likely a phishing site or another virus. But for complete clarity, you must of course remember all the actions that were done before the problem appeared and only then start from this. I think it's better not to rush to check everything is in order with your tokens or not, let time pass and if it turns out that this is just a failure, it's good. A couple of days you can wait.

thank you sir for your valuable information. yes many times etherwallet hacked by some illegal person. they interrupted all data system in my etherwallet's. two days ago my cousin lost his private key thinking it is hacked.

For all that time, while I was in the crypto-currency world, there were already a lot of reports that MEW was hacked, but so far no one can hack this site, so today's rumors are just rumors for me, the most important threat can only be your oversight.

The DNS server was hijacked and auto redirect to phising website?

Yes. But only google dns.

SSL error. But some ignore that.

I was about to login later today to make a transaction, but I'm worried now.
Is there any announcement yet from MEW officials regarding the issue? Until they confirms the hack and a guideline of safety we will be in WorryLand.

Thanks for informing us, we have to be more careful while accessing our MEW. But I think we have to avoid some period to access our wallet & before accessing we have double check that our connection is secure or not?

I think we have to use hardware wallet which is more reliable.

They have posted on twitter.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/exclusive-myetherwallet-confirms-hacking-rumors-are-stupid-lie

The fact that MEW knew about a possible vulnerability on a DNS level since January (see the article above) and did nothing really makes you think...dev team could've avoided this whole mess  :-\

It wasn't a virus, it was a 'DNS Spoofing' attack as the first post says.

OMG!! i should buy new Hardware wallet. Myetherwallet is not safe anymore :( So do you think Metamask can compromise too? could guys update us what's going around. thank you.

we should now careful with using myetherwallet guys, hackers are attacking now, I hope that myetherwallet team will resolve this issue.

They say all is back to normal. But read the guide and wait until tomorrow  ;)

ALERT. For the safety of your funds we recommend to NOT login to MEW at this moment hijacked mew dns

I’m not sure of it was hacked and not sure if it’s possible to get hacked but the issue is logging on a phishing site. Phishing site can be so annoying as a matter of fact, I just read up that someone lost over 85 ETH. Someone just need to be careful on checking on website

For Ethereum, this is one of the most feared things. Ethereum and I believe in its future. But your wallet should have a more reliable structure. In particular, I think that Myetherwallet should be able to offer optional security measures. Uses are requested, while those who do not want continue as classical. This ensures that there is no security vulnerability and it makes people feel safe. Sometimes the seemingly simple Ethereum purse can contain a very potent token. I saw many Ethereum wallets with such a potential. Obviously I do not already use My Ether Wallet, but almost all of the available solutions are not enough for security reasons.

Someone with 85 eth but he or she has not a hardware wallet, or does not care about the security, I don't like my ether wallet, it is so easy wallet so there is a cost like that.

Yes, websites looking like mew and then using the real private keys to access wallets on the real mew accounts in one thing, but the hack.. I read the reddit discussion which says the dns spoofing was done by a couple of people from Russia and Ukraine. No surprise here, since people are getting good education and receiving terrible salaries, add to this the fact of money being a big value in the society regardless to how you earned it. It is said the dns-servers got hijacked, most of people know about checking that all the symbols are correct, but don't think that the redirection might go wrong.

I never use my wallet to check my balance. There are many other safe ways to do this. In most cases, the users themselves are to blame for the loss of funds. Be vigilant!

Yes this is true, it has happened earlier today and a lot has already reported also that they have lost
huge amounts of tokens and ethereum from their wallets because of the funds auto withdrawing to
another wallet that have already stolen more than a hundred thousand dollars worth of crypto. Be
careful guys, always stay safe.

BTW, they said mycrypto is safe to use right now.

probably you got phished, I have experienced such nightmares and nearly broke. Thanks to certain someone he gave me another chance and let me borrowed to start again in this business. Beware of clicking unnecessarily message in your spam folders, or if I were you don't you ever open those, it was what happened to me out of ignorance.

Yeah i heard somthings like that in bitcointalk but as i know myetherwallet work well and safe again right now

nothing is safe... its madness.. need to be very careful, very interesting when we can start to use MEW again?

Because of the DNS attack we should be careful now, or better not to open MEW until the problem is solved as the information can be passed to the hackers.
We know that most of our tokens are in MEW but we should keep it close for now or we may loose everything we have.

Nothing in this world is fully secured the hackers also keep updating them according to the new technology so you have to keep all the security measures on to increase your security.And best way to secure the more valuable funds into linking MEW with Ledger Nano S.

Well a lot of now hackers are infiltrating the ETH because there is a big funds out there... holding there tokens.... i've many now scams address and they spreading it ... be careful guys .. also the airdrops thing don't just click all those sites because some other are phising and they want you to catch about your address.

thanks for the warning
