I think that's going to happen, because my cousin hacked on Him. he does not know why that hack. Maybe it's possible that he knows the private key so it happened. Just remember you guy's take care. thanks.

If you are afraid to be hack then put all your coins/tokens on a hard wallet there I am sure its secured and no one will hack you unless you lost your wallet or gave your private key unintentionally.

What kind of wallet?
If you are afraid, transfer the money to another one.
Check the operating system of your computer with different anti-virus software.

I do not see any problems at all.

Can anti virus kill malware?
Yes, dont continue using the wallet which you are afraid about because it can risk all of your token there.
Myetherwallet and other online wallet is very high risk can be hacked by profesional hacker. Always becareful.

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.
It is ignorance and carelessness that usually end up making people fall a victim. Ways to protect oneself has been talked about so many times on this forum as well as over the internet and all it takes is a little bit of Google search to keep oneself up to date, but most people are not always keen to research and then they end up falling for the same things that have been said for people to watch out for and be careful.

Metamask is really a good option for those who may not have the funds to purchase a good cold storage, at least that way, even MEW can be connected without having to login with private key.

Yah, just follow the secure option given by the wallets. Just follow them option provided and activate in your mobile and desktop as per instruction given. Main thing to look at when ever you log into the wallet URL, make sure you log into the correct url. I have an experience in loosing bitcoin when logging into a fake URL. Try book marking the wallet URL. Follow myetherwallet's instruction. Your money will be very safe.

Yea, it can be hacked , its worth being worried about. But it can be prevented, how?
Keep your private key safe, beware of the scam than may request for it especially on slack and your mail address, if you reveal it once, your account is at risk. A lot of account was hacked that November / December. It is never a sweet experience. Be vigilant

If the private key know others for sure they will open your account.  So better if you keep it safe in document that no one knows except you. You need to secure your private key to thr dafe place like documents that have password so no one can knows about the private key or password.  For sure other people keep their private key to the safe place because they have a lot of tokrns their and if they are not they lose their all tokens.

Hi dude. I am also using myetherwallet from the begining. Still now i don't have any prob with that. Its safe and secured. As per my knowledge without leaking your private key there is no option to hack you wallet. So whenever before using private key you should check the correct website link and you should not click anyother scam link. Be aware of that.

myetherwallet is safe and secure as long as you can save your private keys and only you that is know and don't share to anyone even for your family. but I don't recommend to save all of your tokens in myetherwallet because it is better to send it to the market so you can do fast selling if the price increase and you don't need to wait to long for sending the tokens.

Ethereum transaction is very fast so for me its safe to store your tokens in my MEW instead of just let it sit on my trading exchange account. I will only transfer my tokens when I'm ready to sell it and I don't think that you need to wait that long.

Yes, its very safe as long as you do the proper way on how to protect your account. I would deal on that deeper, I think it been preached hundred of times already.

So its up to us, how responsible we are in protecting our MEW accounts. If your account has been hacked or leaked and you lost everything. There's no one to blame but yourself.

I know many bitcoiner who uses myetherwallet and all of them are satisfied and trusted the wallet.  I also used this wallet for a long time and I do not hear any news yet complaining that they experienced being hacked using this wallet.  From that, I think myetherwallet is a safe keeping avenue for tokens and altcoins.  But as a precaution, we should do everything to keep our password private and secret.

My ether wallet is very safe unless someone got access to your private key. Mostly MEW advices that you use your keystore and password during transactions and not directly use your private key. Your private key can be used mostly when you have no other option.
