Is MEW Safe to use now?

[hous26]

Recently there was a split between the team behind MEW and a new paper wallet site opened up.  Is MEW still safe to use with a Ledger?

Thanks for posting this, I was also thinking same today. Many coins are there and not sure is it safe to keep them after recent dispute like other party got twitter handle etc.

Don't see why it wouldn't be, given there's court documents about who owns MEW flying about they'd be stupid to try scamming people still using it. The only way they'd get away with that type of behavior is to claim they'd been hacked but I not seen any announcements to that affect.

How many of them actually get away with "we got hacked" thingy? Still hope they are nice and cool guys like we all are.

Hopefully it will safe now because me and myself was a victim of a hacker they got all my tokens in my MEW luckily that was my first bounty token but still a lot of money. Anyway try to secure all the things you have here we don't know when they attack again those people are evil.May the God bless they always.

Both are the same the team gets split and created such another similar site just like mew called as mycrypto site. Basically, both of site was using the same system. I'm still using my trezor with mew and all of the things is working smoothly dude. You may need to feel worried about that. It's just about the competition who will be the best ethereum online wallet.

Yes, MEW is as safe as always have been. You still have to be very careful with your private key. I would recommend to use MetaMask and bookmark https://www.myetherwallet.com/.

Yes MEW is still safe but you need to be careful for every move you will do because theres a lot of hacker & phising site in the internet dont ever give information about your mew always store your private key in the safe place. I was checking MEW now and I dont see any problem from there site.

MEW it's a great wallet. I used it and still use it. You can store a very long list of coins in it, making it perfect of an investor that wants to diversify his portofolio.
I think it's safe.

Good to hear it,at least its been cleared by a sr in rank,it makes a relief somehow as i know that it comes from a user with an experience not like us new.Hopefully they won't do things that  may affect us user because of the splitting of their team.

[bstewart]

Was there ever an actual hack? I was under the impression that these things are usually a phishing site which the user unknowingly enters his private keys into.

MEW is always really been safe.The risk do really depends on users discretion when it comes on keeping his keys safe for other people not to be able to hack or stole tokens inside it. Even metamask is already available I do still prefer mew on using storing my tokens.Just be responsible towards security of such wallet because no matter which wallet you do use if you are careless on your private keys it would be still the same story.

I think it is a common question for maximum people. I am also confuse about this issue. Last month my wallet hacked by hacker. Now I am using MetaMask. It is very safe. Now I hope my MEW is safe from hacker.  

[Flamebellow]

Of course its safe . Both developers team declare they will work hard to make their wallet better then competitors have . I'm using mew for a long time and have no problems with it and I can't imagine that mew becoming a scam .... This will lead to a terrible aftermath .

Didn't hear this news so thank you OP for opening a thread. I've heard about MEW being hacked or something in the past few months but it still working fine now so I guess it is still safe to use or else social media such as Facebook and Twitter will be on fire now because of a hacked MEW. There's plenty of coins there and most of my airdrops are there too. Thinking about this makes me think that I should buy an offline wallet very soon to secure all my coins.

[Cactushrt]

Ofcourse it's still safe to use MEW using ledger actually they split but  they are still aiming the same i've just look at mycrypto website and haven't used it but i feel im in the MEW website too

[An0nyMoose]

Yes it's safe again although it's never been truly safe. MEW was forked, apparently websites can fork too and they have a competitor now, I still prefer MEW. But there's much safer ways like Metamask and other wallets. MEW is really easy though and it's great that it exists, just make sure you are on the right url.

I believe myetherwallet is still safe. because for my 2 months of using it, I don't encountered any issues / bugged / loss of tokens / coins. So it was safe for me.

I also have token in my mew, actually I am thinking before if it is really safe if i stay my token in my wallet but I don't have Ledger now so I can not transfer my token in offline wallet, so for now I still keep my token mew and always think that it is safe as long as I never share my privatre key in any one.

[nellycanezo]

yeah. it was safe. just keep your private key and don't open it in a computer cafe. Also, open it on your personal computer or laptop and be vigilant.
