For all users used this thread to claim the risk in using myetherwallet and the weakness in myetherwallet DNS: "You had right"
Now thanks to understand that this a dangerous ecosystem for dumbs.
If brave enough then you should have to take a look at this: https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/security/myetherwallet-protips-how-not-to-get-scammed-during-ico.html

Myetherwallet DNS hacked do happen once again which means we should really always be vigilant when it comes on logging in into this wallet.You can really easily point out if the site do have problem.As i have read up recent problems there still lots of users who do experience loss of funds yet they do still able to logged in even though the site is redirected into another phishing site.

As i understood, this is not a lack in myetherwallet platform but loophole in the system and it may happen again for every domain that is not protected against Ddos attacks. I used to use MEW but i used also to recommend metamask or hardware wallet for safety and protection. Last note is using MEW offline is safe and you can always rely on this method.

Hi there good people.

I use the MEW chrome extension.

Is it safe to use it after the recent hack?

Your responses would be greatly appreciated.

i think yes....tomorrow i go too see my ether wallet and i see two pending transaction...from my wallet to this address:

https://etherscan.io/address/0x8d12a197cb00d4747a1fe03395095ce2a5cc6819

look how many eth and token have this hacker!!! and now i cant wd my eth and my tokens...i never share my privatekey...never!!! how it is possible?

how can a hack myetherwallet a very safe equation unless you login using privte key in myetherwallet
I've never been hacked in myetherwallet
my advice do not be too often login myethherwallet or you can use supporting applications such as imtoken or metamaks to make transactions

Yes, it is always good to protect all other possible ways to secure wallet along with MEW, i don't know how the hackers will find the loopholes and start hacking the website. So we have to be very careful when dealing with online stuff.

in january Myetherwallet denied all such claims of hack , but yes in last month ir happened with MEW , bcoz of DNS issue .
in some countries issue was there , while other place it was working fine .
MEW need to spend on safety of site , bcoz it poses risk to many users .

yes there are many way to be safe from hacking / phishing attack .
always bookmark URL of important exchanges and wallet site .
never share pvt key , always login MEW with ledger or metamask .
metamask do not expose your key so it is more safe .

best thing is to buy a hardware wallet .

I got hacked by the same wallet too, this one: 0x8d12a197cb00d4747a1fe03395095ce2a5cc6819
I don't know what to do to keep my tokens safe, because my private key or keystore file are not on my computer.

if your privatekey/keystore is not stored on your computer then where do you put them ?  on your mobile ?   its okay but as long as you protect it with a password . you can also make a back up of them and put them on a multiple storages   . i check the address that you provide and i see that you have a lot of balance and there are recent transactions that are still pending  . too bad , maybe the hacker is still transfering those balances little by little  .

There are pending inputs since its Etherdeltas Address which the hacker do sent out those alts and trade it out directly.There's no way you can get it back or revert.
Sorry for the loss mate.Even you didn't store up your PK's on pc but you cant be sure if the storage of those aren't compromised or being known by somebody.
I'd stored my pk on an encrypted usb and hid it up and its much more safer than putting it on mobile.

Honestly, I've been using MEW for a years now and yet I never face any of the issues were my token or account in there has been hack.
But I encountered recently that I transferred token into exchange were from MEW to centralized exchange platform, but it took 19 hours before it completely transferred in the platform. But it was already successful according to the etherscan.io, so for what I did was I followed up the support in the exchange several times, telegram, and email until they solve the issues, that's my experienced.
