all control over myetherwallet account is in the private key holder. if you log into the correct site, I think your token will not be lost.
there are several reasons that can make the token in myetherwallet missing. 1. your private key or backup file stolen by someone else. 2. get into a phishing site, whether it's myetherwallet or etherdelta.

which I know phishing is the only thing that really threatens the balance of MyEtherwallet. because Myetherwallet is not equipped with 2FA security.

The most important condition when using the MEW wallet is not to show your private key anywhere. It is with the help of phishing that people lose this key and then lose all their tokens that were on this purse. Always carefully check those sites where you enter your private key.

I have a friend. She is too industrious in finding airdrops and of course she fill up into it. In airdrop mew address is being asked. She now have a many different tokens on her wallet. One day she opened her wallet and notice her eth together with her token are all gone. She looked on the transactions made then she notice it is all out but she didn't make it. We wonder if she gave her private key instead of her address. You, do you fill up in airdrops too? Don't you think you made the same mistake ? If you already created a new wallet, to avoid phishing site save the mew link to your bookmark. If you will just check your token, instead of opening your account just go to etherscan.io/address/(mew address) There you can check your token and the transactions without logging in your account.

Same Problem with me month ago. But MyEtherWallet can't delete token it maybe missed but it will back like my token. Find Token Transfer and click View all it helps me a lot of checking my token and later on while i refresh my gone token back.

Check your transactions! In my opinion, if a wallet were broken, then all the crypto coins would be stolen.

So bad. After my cousin lost her token in her wallet too, I am now afraid to open my mew because I think I may click or go to phishing site. My cousin's first mew account is hacked by anonymous person. We are sure that it is hacked because the funny thing is that when a new token is transferred in the wallet, the hacker also transferred some eth to be able to use as a fee because he/she will transfer the new token. But before that happened, he already got the CTX, NIO, and any other coin plus the ETH in my cousins wallet. We wonder how does the hacker got the private key. Phishing site , hacked or wrong input of private key in airdrops?? Whatever it is we all need to be very careful now.

I think you didn't add their custom code in the MEW. If you don't find better check in etherscan.io. If you find the token there then you need add their contract address inorder to visible your total amount of the coins.

Other than phishing then it would be possibly to have an infected computer which hacker can able to monitor or have a keylogger insider which they can able to steal passwords or any keys which been used to access on of your wallets. This is the most common possible way if you do lose up coins suddenly if you haven't victimized by phishing this is why we should really be careful on downloading things online. Having an good antivirus would somehow help but not reliable most of the time.

there have been many things like this, and most of all, the mistake they make is, they are logged on the phishing site. well, there are so many phishing sites out there, even more so for MEW. I just suggest to be meticulous in entering the site.

Maybe you Send your Private key accidentally . too risky to store your Private key on Internet. store it properly . Bookmark it and dont forget to hide the QR code that is your private key too

Better check his transaction history and from their you can easily determine if someone got transferred your token to other unknown wallet. If you these happens then it means that you've been hacked by some pishing site. There are lots of pishing site they are really are a look a like of MEW so better bookmark the right and safe one.

I don't think that there is known any other couse than phishing! My friend have experienced this same thing yesterday, he checked his balance yesterday and the coins was there only to check today and he could not find the coins in his wallet. I think loses one coin without actually know what happened to it ,means there system is not save and the teams need to work hard to saveguard the system.

The phising site really looks exactly the same as the original one that your friend aren't aware that it is really not. There are very simple signs and the obvious one is the green secure lock which is only present on legit sites.
