I have just heard this news but I have not received official confirmation from Myetherwallet and I also checked my account on wallet MEW everything is going well. I think you should not be too worried, if there is still a coin on MEW please check if it is lost, if so please report to MEW manager, otherwise you can feel secure.
Nice mate, thanks for sharing that your account is still intact. Damn, I still have a lot of funds from my MEW but I'm afraid to check it now or enter the my private key but when I can using etherscan.io my funds is still there.
Thanks for the share. Maybe I will download it later and see how it goes.
So, the Ethereum BLUE team (
https://twitter.com/EthereumBlue ) is twitting every minute about a possible MEW hack. It seems that their DNS server is hacked and as you load your private key (they claim that it's stored in cookies by MEW), it can be stolen. If you enter MEW and the default gas price is 41 Gwei then, you're on an hacked MEW site. It appears to be a problem limited to some regions. So...is it FUD since they're rivals or there is some proof behind this? If i'm not wrong, they found the Etherdelta hack recently.
I'm not sure. But to me its look like a FUD so that Ethereum will dip because its been surging ahead in the last month or so. There is similar to Bitcoin Cash vs Bitcoin rivalry. Other side is creating FUD so that investors can be swayed on their side. Sadly it didn't work though.
What? MEW was hacked? Please don't sign in your wallet on FAKE-site, bcause they will steal your key + password = your wallet. Please bookmark or use MEW-extention on your brower.
Don't use your MEW on EtherDelta, too, that exchange ask for your key, so it's not save for us. And it was hacked too!
If you don't bookmark MEW and just type it, more likely you will ended up in another MEW phishing site. I heard EtherDelta is a little bit laggy lately, but I'm not sure if this is due to something or just error problem on their end.
