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?

That depends on whether we are effective or careless in taking care of out myetherwallet credentials. Of course, myetherewallet is a successful website that caters to the needs of it's clients and that include maintaining a secure website. So, it's all up to us now on whether we are able to maintain the security of our own accounts.

I think this is quite safe with your wallet if you do not lose your USB or paper with your private key.

The most important thing is not to shine anywhere with your private key from your wallet. If you do not light it anywhere, you can sleep peacefully. Basically, people lose their money because of phishing sites, which they go to and they enter their private key from the wallet. After that, all the funds from their wallet disappear.

You're funds are safely stored in blockchain and secured by etherwallet. If no one will knew your private keys, still, you are safe. There maybe about 1% chance, but 99% no chance. Your private key is very long, and you said, your computer broke, and dont visit any phising sites. Goodluck.

MEW is very very unlikely to be hacked if and only if you are not so careful enough about it. The easiest way to get your MEW hacked is giving away your private key on a phishing site or even an airdrop when you accidentally give your Private Address instead of the Wallet Address. Always look for that MYETHERWALLET LLC (US), an SSL security for MEW that tells you that the site you're visiting is really the legit one.

Always the biggest danger is phishing sites, since you will not go to them - I think everything is safe

Your personal account may get hacked. You should check the URL, if it is really myetherwallet or not. They are providing many cautions on their website, follow them. In theory, it may also be hacked, but note that you are actually using a tool to open an offline wallet.

myetherwallet is created for the security of your criptocurrency storage, but the security created will be useless if the owner is not careful in maintaining the private key and you should stay away from the phishing site because hackers can usually hack your account through this site so that the user also a very role it is important to maintain the security of your criptocurrency.

MEW doesnt store your funds,blockchain is if the hackers hack myetherwallet they wont get anything because they need to break blockchain's security to get your funds thats not possible to happen.

All things can be hacked if for example hackers smart. So we have to anticipate in advance by doing a good and regular security because at this time myetherwallet wallet is hacked because most of the mistakes from the owner's own careless

I think myethwerwallet is pretty safe, but most people do lose their money because of their own carelessness in managing their private key, I hope no one else is exposed to such a situation

I see you're kinda paranoid right now, lol! MyEther per se wouldn't have any major probs. The only way your coins could be taken is if you carelessly showed your pkeys to someone else. This person can have access to your account if this happens. But your coins should be safe. Use a mobile for the meantime while your pc is down.

If you have your private keys and you didn't tell other that is safe, no one can access your MyEtherWallet  and can't get your funds.
So we need to keep it our private keys, as this depends on the safety of our funds.

Your funds will not be lost in MEW as long as you always keep your private key safe, because that's the most important thing of all. I've appriciated what you did to make a hard copy of your Private key. I'll do that too.

yes your wallet will be safe even if you don't have personal computer but as long as you have your private key you can access it even in any computer. but be careful when using public computer or your friends/any computer you will never know what they have in their computer.

It is difficult to attack MyLelfwallet because it is highly secure with powerful tools and utilities integrated on the system. Please save your private key and UTC files as carefully as possible so that you will not lose them later. The use of the MEW wallet is very convenient and effective.

As I know my ETH always save if you keep the private key for your self.
So.. Even your computer was broke you still can check your ETH from other pc as long as you still have your private key. And your funds is still save.
