Can myetherwallet get hacked?

[sjeezman]

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?

Since it's a platform it is possible that it can be hacked,  but only in a slightly little chance. And you're asking if your wallet is safe, i'm pretty sure it is, just don't lose your private key and the 2nd key because without it, i don't know how else you can have access on your wallet.

MEW is a UI to access your funds, but those funds are on the blockchain, not stored within MEW itself. Therefore if you have your keys you'll be fine.

Good luck!

I think your assets will remain in your ethereum wallet and will not be lost. If you are in doubt, maybe you can check it in etherscan.io and you just enter the ethereum address only, see there  your token still exists or not.

myetherwallet platform can be cracked by anyone, my recommendation for you is do not open myetherwallet with private key. it's better to use utc, because a lot of hacking happen because someone open myetherwallet only with private key.

No one can access your MEW unless they have private keys so if you have the private keys then your funds will be safe even if you don't have the computer.You need to understand that crypto currencies are online currencies so they will be stored in online network,it is not stored in your computer so you can access them anywhere if you have the private keys.
And then why you stupid to work with hardware wallets it is the most safest wallets for crypto currencies so if you can buy one of those your are not stupid anymore.

No, as long as you have you're own private key, as what you've said you have already put you're private key on hard drives and you print also you're private key in a sheet of paper. So nothing to worry as long as you have a private key. The most important in MEW is the private key and you was the one who have responsible to keep on it.

I think your assets will remain in your ethereum wallet and will not be lost. If you are in doubt, maybe you can check it in etherscan.io and you just enter the ethereum address only, see there  your token still exists or not.

Yes you always look in etherscan you're balance remaining, just scan you're wallet address even though you're not open you're MEW to regularly check on it.

I think if you want to be more secure, it's relatively safe to buy a hardware wallet.

Yes it can, as how all other accounts can be hacked but in regards to myetherwallet they can't be hacked by just brute force and softwares, what hackers mostly do is that they exploit your account security informations through phishing sites. I remeber last time I saw an actual copy of myetherwallet website and it really looks identical and when I checked its address it says myehewallet, good thing I haven't used my private keys and passwords yet.

Solong no one can get your keys you should be fine

[Novgabby]

etherwallet can also be hacked just like any other accounts. If someone hacked and get your money, it will be lost forever since etherwallet has no backup and it is not like the banking system. I think you have to borrow someones' laptop and check if your wallet is still safe.

Your funds are safe in MEW as long as your keys are safe, so nothing to worry about.

This would be a good idea. I don't like MEW that much my self. It seems pretty secure but I just don't like the user layout and how everything functions on there. It's a big pain in the butt for me to use compared to other stuff I've done with crypto related transfers.

[cramblimp]

I don't believe before that myetherwallet get hacked by the hacker. It is true, and I will prove it to you. If you want to get rid off by the stupid hacker, don't just click and click if you receive an email asking your information about you account, just ignore it if you were not sure and you don't know who's person sent to you that email. Think before you click.

[Latrix]

you gonna keep your pw safe bud. otherwise your wallet will be safe

[Joriecoinbit]

Important thing is don't click a pishing link! once you click them, you must prepared to lose your money.
I suggest you to buy a new pc or laptop and you should install metamask for your myetherwallet account.
Note: Don't put your private key on usb stick, just wrote them on paper with a pen.

Yes, one of the things why an account was hack its because of phishing sites. If you see a suspicious sites, don't bother to click it. Anyway, in my case, I don't know if my MEW was hacked, because there were a lot of unknown transactions in my account.  May two tokens were transferred into another account and I don't know why it happens. I secure my private key in my laptop and I don't even click any suspicious websites and until now, I'm still confused why it happened and I really want my token back.

As long as your private keys are safe, your funds are safe also. I saw a lot of people who'se MEW we're hacked and they don't know how it was done. For best security, buy your own hardwallet. Ledger or Trezor are the best. Learn how to use them.

Everything in the internet can be hacked so you have to be alert and make sure that its safe.

[Dart18]

As long as you dont post your private keys anywhere then you will always be safe.
It is like your seeds which are already on the ETH blockchain. So there is nothing to worry about.
Just be careful if you will try to let someone fix your computer (if you ever think about it again)
They could somehow reincarnate the buried links or anything in your hard drive.

[dirgayeah]

According your case you are still safe among the private key can't be access with everyone. But if you still worried about that , make a password with metamask and safe the word phrase. So for me you already safety.
