You can hack everything if you want, you can just sit and find the private keys, Yes, maybe even some sort will pick up your grandchildren, because there are 64 characters. But you can hack.

Hi, i have backupped my pvkeys on an usb stick. I wrote it also down on a piece of paper. My computer broke. I put a metal pin through the harddrives. I will not buy a new pc soon. So i wont check in on myetherwallet for some time. I cant click on phishing links. My question is : are my funds safe? Can myetherwallet get hacked? Can my funds dissapear even when i have no computer, hid my keys? Im to stupid to work with a ledger or trezor. Can something happen to it like with the parity/kill?
Yes, as I read you are quite safe.

If to furnish to nobody the confidential clue, not to visit by mistake the counterfeit websites, then to crack a purse not to turn out. Often people make silly mistakes and receive breaking.

No it cant get hacked, you just need to secure your  wallet. Best thing to do is, dont ever lose or share your private key to anyone. That is the best way to secure your myetherwallet.

It is very possible that your funds can be hacked  which is why MEW suggest that people should use Hardwallet to safe guard their funds.

Yes of course anything on the internet can be hacked easily for veterans hacker. That's why you should always alert everytime don't go in any website that you think it's not safe, make sure your PC/Laptop using are clean and don't have any virus and last avoid any links that comes from other people.

Many  have heard stories about wallet hacked even when you do not store the password on your computer, this is very scary because there are large amounts of money stored there or do you keep in other places?

Nothing guarantees your funds if MEW is hacked. Even the MEW party also gives warning to its users that they do not guarantee the coins stored in the safe forever. You've done a wise move using a hard wallet because it will make it hard for hackers to steal your coins.

In my opinion, the MyEtherWallet wallet is one of the best purses to store ether and tokens. He has a reliable secret cloak and if you exclude access to this key to unauthorized persons, the wallet will be safe.
    Sometimes you have to see how in campaigns signatures are asked to change the address of the purse because of the fact that their old wallet is hacked. They do not indicate exactly how the purse was hacked, I think that most likely, for some reason an unknown key has become known to outsiders.

I fully agree! It is necessary to carefully check the website address and the letters that come to your email!there are so that phishing emails and links in them to malicious sites!we should always be very careful!

I do not think that the MyEtherWallet wallet can be hacked at all. This wallet is really simple and has no binding to anything and can be accessed from almost any device, which makes it very convenient. To work with him, it is enough to have the code of his secret key code. This key can not be hacked, it consists of many numbers of letters and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to find them. I think that the breaking of this wallet is connected solely with the fact that strangers have become aware of the secret key code.

Hackers have many ways to get a coin. All these paths lead through your computer, because myetherwallet is just an interface, the site does not store any data. Therefore, you need to install good antivirus software.

If you do not go to phishing sites, do not send anyone your private key and follow basic security measures, then no one will ever crack your e-wallet.

It's possible if you don't keep your private keys safe, nobody can access your myetherwallet unless they have private keys so if your private keys are with you then your funds are safe, even if you don't have a computer yet. You should understand that cryptocurrenciesBTC are online currencies that are not visible, so they can be stored in online networks, it isn't stored on your computer so that you can access them anywhere, anytime you have private keys.

Myetherwallet is safe and secure enough, but your can't say that about all your programs/apps. This is why hardware or desktop wallets are better, if you haven't hidden camera bellow your back)

My friend's MEW wallets were phished not once...

Myetherwallet is safe because the site does not save any information, it's just a handy UI. The main thing is not to compromise your keys.  Smiley

sometimes as developer works on decision as releasing offers on occupation of different media, scammer might gains of chance as interrupting with the presence of fake website with similar name with the service and deceiving clients with the eth account to put also the secret key of the tiny files or private key on exchange with the offers to collects of pulse message with the decision as requesting airdrop token from new developer.
