Can myetherwallet get hacked?

[surfinonmyownwavebaby]

Yes MEW can get hacked but you know what can't get hacked? A hardware wallet that accesses MEW website, imho everybody should get one of those. They aren't too pricey are extremely durable, and overall drop in the bucket for peace of mind.

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, As long as you are not in a phishing site do not worry about losing your tokens. And it's also right that it would not be a problem if the MEW is going to be phishing, Just check with Etherscan. The same thing I do, and thank God I was not robbed of erc20 tokens.

Risk will always be there but most probably it will be safe till your private key is safe. If it will go in wrong hands then definitely your wallet will get hacked.

[Pattart]

if you are careful and will not go through questionable links and the more you will not give anyone your private key from your wallet, it will be very, very difficult!

Antivirus will also be very helpful because the current hacking model is very varied you know. it is very possible that there is malware where when you do a copying on your private key. your private key that been copying will be directly stored in the hacker's database. stay cautious dude do not just download the app from people you don't know and dont enter suspicious links that sent to your email..

no there are very less chance for hacking your etherum wallet only in some ways it can be hack but that is not possible very easily so for remaining your eherum wallet safe do not share your private  key with anyone and always put your eth addres in wallet for opening it . then no one is able to hack your etherum address .

Your funds are safe because your funds are not stored in your MEW nor on your computer, it is stored in the blockchain. MEW is just an interface to access your funds that are residing in the ETH blockchain. Your funds can only be stolen if you expose your private key by any means and avoid clicking any unknown links you can be phished. And even if you want to see your funds you don't need a private key for that just visit etherscan on any computer enter your public key and you are good to go to see your balance.

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?

Well, your wallet can be hacked, but not due to myetherwalle fault: the site is completely safe, but if you don't take security measures on YOUR computer, or you enter in a phishing site, of course you will lose all your money.
A lot of people blame myetherwallet for losing money, but if your check their stories in 100% of the cases it was their fault.

[mariomerula]

I think that everything can be hacked... so the best way to protect actually your savings in crypto is an hardware wallet like ledger or trezor...

[themistocleess]

yes it can be hacked as this is a Platform, but there are very less chances unless you keep your private key safe

[DimaS1574]

Representative of the  MyEtherWallet project in a conversation with Cointelegraph reported that rumors about breaking their wallet are "stupid lies". Developers of the purse categorically deny the charges spreading in social networks, according to which hackers changed the DNS-addresses of their service in order to steal user data.

[balrog]

If I'm undetstanding right MEW is not storing your funds . Your eth tokens stored directly on ethereum blockchain , while MEW is just a UI to access them . So , I think it is almost impossible to hack blockchain , the most easy way to get your funds is to make malware which will steal your password .

By the way bro last time MyEtherWallet got hacked.
and they Hack the DNS.
i don't know the style if in every input of your private key they will hack your private key.
or
In every transaction you do it will go to the hacker's Wallet

[hackzang12]

To be safe keep your private key in a cold storage whatever happens don't show it off to anyone. MyEtherwallet is safe just like bitcoin in a bockchain. So better keep it carefully so it won't compromise. Goodluck!

The easiest way to prevent situation like that is to bookmark https://www.myetherwallet.com/ and open it from your bookmarks only. And of course never ever open link from email.

[Lang09]

Your MEW will not be lost or hacked until you have your Private Key. So you should keep that and make sure that no one else can get it. That's the only way you can access your wallet. It's a good idea to make you back up for your private key. Now you can guarantee that your assets are actually secured.

Now the scammers are getting smart by creating website addresses and website views that even really resemble the original website, the best way is to bookmarking on the original website
