Your ether wallet can only be hack if you click some fishing which has a similarity on mew, but if you are cautious for sure your not going to be hack.  Just the only thing I know which is really safe was MEW and shafeshift.io

Just make sure the URL of the site correct before you provide your login details to the site then you're safe otherwise you may leak out your login details to hackers. The suggestion is you bookmark the correct URL and after that, you use the same URL to access your account. Also, try to install good original antivirus software on your PC to protect from various attacks.

yes, MEW could have been hacked and everything on the internet could be hacked, we have to be careful that it does not happen.
make sure your data is safe, you do not share data like private key to others, and make sure your computer is also safe from viruses

Not at all,it is just an interface and doesn't store or save any user details that can be accessed by hackers.Unless you give your private key to some one or mistakenly let someone have access in which case it will be theft but not a hack.

Every wallet can be hacked but mostly because the owner doesn't care about their wallet. They never fix their attitude about how to protect their wallet. Such as, they click link into MEW with out check the address correctly, use another device or network to open their wallet, last one is their data really stolen from their pc/ laptop. This is modern technology and everything could happen just do what is necessary to protect your wallet. Good luck with you.

Because we're now in the era in everything is possible and hackers always think ahead of us. So the least we can do here is being cautious in everything we do and don't use private keys instead use metamask for logging in MEW. We're all responsible and be mindful in everything.

MEW cannot be hacked unless someone can access your private keys.You don't have to store the private keys in your computer it is better to store it in a pen drive or write in a piece of paper.And keep good antivirus on yiur computer to stay away from phishing links which can copy yiur private keys.

Yesterday i was faced a big problem ,mew was not working properly and most of tx were fail.I lost my most coin for delta attack than i am afraid .do u use your mew wallet yesterday??

Yes ED got hacked and the attacker got access from their DNS, fake order books and fake social media accounts got released from the fake website that incident happens last month, that's why it looks suspicious that time and I decided not to trade with ED until now as the website load slower than before, what kind of fail transaction did happen? can you put the tx here in your thread so that we can check what wrong with your transactions? better use another eth wallet as it seems your former wallet got compromised for the last attack.

Etherwallet can be hacked or scammed if the user give his private key to other people or he/she accidentally sign up the private key of his wallet to scammed forms.

Etherwallet can be hacked or scammed if the user give his private key to other people or he/she accidentally sign up the private key of his wallet to scammed forms.

this is indeed the most common mistake many users have. Therefore, it is necessary to approach very carefully the filling of different forms and take very seriously the preservation of your personal data and keys. But it still depends on the resources that the etherium purse provides.

As a senior member of our forum you may already know how to keep your funds safely.

My ether wallet cannot be hacked because it needs private key access and it also impossible to find the codes too but the scammers are using the phishing links which can copy your private key and then all your funds will be stolen so keep your system offline when it is not needed and nevere store your private key in the system itself.

And also many fake websites are also created as myetherewallet website so it is better to bookmark the official website then access it from there.

[Harsh_Patel]

I would suggest use secure connection with Firewall and Computer without any bugs. Keep swiping the computer for malware. Login only when necessary, Keep track of tokens using etherscan or some other services.

Never share password/Public keys with anyone or keep the backup encrypted. Best way is to write it down and store it somewhere safe.

Do this and you are less likely to loose your coins.

Yes,we need to take care of our money because now a days hackers are everywhere so keeping your system offline is important because the chance of getting compromised when it is online.Yes we can track our token balance using etherscan then we can reduce the chance of getting hacked.But the most impostant is to keep our private key secured like a paperwallet then no hacker can steal it.

[metenjean]

I think every wallet possess the risk of being hacked, and if it being hacked its mainly because our own fault that letting people to access our own private key, there are lots of stories about people losing money in MEW since there are no 2nd protection protocol in there. I lost $80k worth of tokens last month without even i noticing that my token was being transferred, suspected that my computer was being ratted and the private key was stolen. I blame myself for the negligent and its better to write your private key in a piece of paper or store it somewhere offline. You never know if you're already being hacked or not.

Yes your MEW is hackable. Maybe you were hacked because you gave your private keys accidentally to someone or you joined some airdrops which are obviously a SCAM because they are asking for your private keys. Your Private Key is your only access to MEW so others cannot hack it if they don't know your Private Key. Be extra careful next time.

[Leonard2016]

No it can't be hacked coz it doesn't keep the private key and Json file in their database , so even if it hacked , hackers don't have your key , but you could trapped by phishing websites, you need to check the address on address bar carefully and bookmark it , recently same domain websites with a little different of one or two characters have increased a lot for phishing .

What do you do before your wallet got hack and impactlose to your token?
If you still remember then never do it again because you must learn from experience. And pleasse remember that MEW is hackable if we dont aware and careful.

[b3llsf1l3s]

if hacker just use a filling random private key or you click any malicious link and redirected to fake MEW site, of course it have a big chance that your key will be stolen or if you give a wrong paste code in filling on form
something like you wanna paste your wallet address, but you've just paste your private key of your wallet.

That was a big mistake

Man people talking about hacking blockchain, you are saying my ether wallet can be hacked  , everything can be hacked, nothing is fully secure, so diversify your every coin to different wallets so that you can't lose all of them.

Yes it can be hack if you will expose your private keys in internet or others. Some funds stolen are because of phising website and malware virus been injected to the computer. If you are unsure with your wallet, transfer it to a hardware wallet. This move can lessen the risk of getting hack.

[lite]

You will lose your ETH/tokens only if you enter your private keys on a phishing site. MEW is just an client-side ETH interface/wallet, it doesn't stores your keys/data on a server. if you want to securely access your ETH then buy a hardware wallet or download MEW and run it locally[1].

From day one i am using myetherwallet to protect my tokens, still now i am not facing any issues in this wallet. But there is a lots of chance to hack by scam website. Better you should not leak your private key any of the website. So before use private key research on that and protect your private key. Metamask wallet also is good and safe.
