WARNING: MEW DNS COMPROMISED, OVER 24 THOUSAND ETHER STOLEN

[bbc.reporter]

While there are multiple threads up about this, it's important so I will write again:
always check that the little green lock next to the url bar is green!

you can also download MyEtherWallet and run locally!!!

Or you could just not use MEW and switch to something more safe and secure

What would your suggestion be? I reckon it would be the same problem with all webwallets if servers are not configured and secured properly.

Running MyEtherWallet locally in a secure PC is the most secure way to access an ETH wallet.

It's unfortunate that these issues are so persistent in our large community. We are all family, we all make each other laugh with memes during market crashes, etc. We DESERVE better. Wallets and interfaces alike need MORE features to prevent scam and phishing while also providing a breakthrough in security that ensures safety. Personally, I use Blue Protocols chrome extension wallet. It is NEVER ran through a server while also having address blacklisting, whitelisting and more. Most importantly, they're working on implementing what they call a DECENTRALIZED 2FA. When that happens, it will be a HUGE step for crypto security and safety.

i hope myetherwallet will solve this issue as soon as possible
and maybe this issue will make eth price down for a while,
just a while, because its time for eth to grow

I just know that something else needs to be and can be better than MEW. So many Ethereum investors rely on it to keep their assets safe and it's really not benefiting much besides allowing a price drop for investors to buy. Investors, whether noobs or knowledged, are losing their funds due to poor security and a poor interface.

Personally, I really hate to see the good get screwed over after trusting something whether it's a person, interface, etc. This community is unlike anything that i've ever been a part of. I made so many connections with people in this space whether it's in a professional or just as friends. I personally connect with several members of our giant community and I can't stand watching them wait helplessly as their funds are getting sucked out of their wallets. You're talking about innocent and good people that are just getting screwed over. Change needs to happen; and it will.

How about mycrypto wallet it is also compromised not sure whom to believe . Once etherdelta owner changed etherdelta exchange hacked then forkdelta created . Now the same scenario going on but this time mycrypto created then myetherwallet dns compromised. Still options are there eidoo wallet and some other still good option . But I am waiting until the whole scenario resolved.

Can't give any information on those because I am unsure

This is the reason why we need something like #blueprotocol which has been doing great lately to control and secure tokens. Moreover they will also take care of the scammy tokens.

There was a hack on one of the DNS servers, so it was not all MyEtherWallet's fault. The same hack can happen in any webwallet.

In any case, now you know why it is very important to run your wallet and use your private keys locally.

There’s no perfect system and security always comes first within ourselves. Those people who got hacked most of the time are those people who are just so careless. One safety measure so you can assure you are visiting the legal site is to always check the SSL Certificate on the leftside of the URL.
