Looks like I'm going to have to bite my tongue and take the loss. Bought 2 ETH worth at ICO, pretty much wiped 3/4 of my value. Time to dump these coins.
FYI you don't need to login to your MEW to check your funds. If that's all you want to do I suggest you just use etherscan and search your address so that you minimise any risk and only open MEW to transfer money.
Damn that sucks. Let it serve as a reminder to everyone to be very cautious no matter how long you've been doing this. The smallest mistake could cost you thousands.
