The MEW is a safe means of storing funds itself. However, there are a lot of scammers in the network who try to access your account under various tricks. I myself encountered when messages arrive on behalf of this wallet with a recommendation to change the security settings. The links lead to phishing sites myetherwwallet, myetherwalllet, myetherwallett and so on. You should beware of them and never enter your wallet using links from third sources.

MEW is safe and I don't think any malware can magically turn your saved link on your computer to phishing link in an instance. 90% of story of hack and theft we read is human error. Be diligent enough to confirm the website you are logging in to and don't click new link from anywhere.

Always bookmark the correct website link and whenever you want to login ensure that the SAL green bar was active before you attempt to unlock your wallet. Better still you may consider using Metamask chrome extension to manage your addresses.
who says metamask is safe? Still beta.

I don't know what people are experiencing with MEW but I'm using it with confident. Clean computer and being careful are keys I guess.

I keep my savings as much as possible in Bittrex and Binance. I don't know why, but I can't trust MyEtherWallet

If you afraid that MEW can be hacked use 'Send Offline' option. I think it is the safest way to transfer your ETH or tokens.
And don't keep big amounts in one wallet. Divide your portfolio into small parts.

damnit i wanted to sell my vibe tokens, but to afraid to log in... How can i know if its safe. Can a page be exactly the same as a phising site? I bookmarked it half a year ago. Can a bookmarked site allways be trusted or what? MEW is safe as long as you are on the correct site, the one that was hacked before was etherdelta, though mew and ethereum transaction now is really heavy and so slow you need to put more gas to be more prioritize and get a faster transaction.

I think if you go in and stick to all the rules, then the purse will not suffer. But the threat always remains!

You already have the bookmark and will just need to verify if you have the right one. Check the spelling because they do it with changing the letters. Use Capital letters to make it all clear. MYETHERWALLET It had been always safe. It is just the slack that made some users be hacked. Maybe they clicked the links from the slack spammers then Voila! their hacked.

For increased security, you can run MyEtherWallet on your computer instead of from the GitHub servers. The computer should have no internet connection. You can generate a wallet completely offline and send transactions from the "Send Offline" page.

Correct! Here's step-by-step manual: https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/offline/running-myetherwallet-locally.html

Can a bookmarked site allways be trusted or what? MEW (myetherwallet) is safe as always as long as you keep your private key secret and secured. myetherwallet is one of the most flexible and secure wallet to store token! the real question is, IS ETHERDELTA SAFE NOW? this is the one whos been hacked before.

I think it is safe, but if you are scared of being hacked, you can use some tools like Metamask or cold storage wallets.

However, MEW have introduced a guide to help keep your account safe. So go check it out rather than standing on the fence

EW is safe if your MEW has not been exposed to phishing. because phising causes MEW we are easily exposed to hack. but if we always bookmark MEW and save our keystone file it will be safe. for me suggest you should prepare an offline wallet if saving coins in bulk and have a high price.

Listen, there are so many stories already heard that it becomes very scary. But I understood a few points for myself. Neither circumstances can shine your own private key. Check the site you are visiting. Do not store all the coins in the same place. Install several types of antivirus. Well, if you still decided to deal with the cryptocurrency, don't spare money for keys such as a trezor, ladger nano s.
