Is MEW Safe to use now?

[paulmaritz]

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?

Yes, it should be safe to use at both MEW and MyCrypto.com

[Palakka]

yes, I always using on MEW and it safe.
before you access on MEW, it is better to check URL before your login to your an account.

mew is a safe wallet. but you should always check the URL address for the possible phising site. Just be always be careful entering on your private key.

Yes, if there is no hardware wallet to fall back on, it is always best to communicate with MEW via MetaMask.

MEW is safe as long as you keep your computer safe. Usually when I'm reading about hacker attacks always there is a problem with the victim's computer which was compromised. Some of them use it for gaming torrents and exchanges. Another one had all his coins in one app and used his phone in open WIFI.
What I want to say is that we must be very careful, if you can't have a 2nd PC just for transactions, buy a hardware wallet or use paper wallets, but don't blame MEW or other wallets.

if you have an investment of over $ 10,000, I think the safest thing to do is to buy a hardware wallet.(ledger, trezor)

This is also my concern. As a matter of fact, a recent post from the twitter account of myetherwallet goes like this:

"Another phishing attempt, this was targeting our #MEWForce. They are already aware what to do with these emails. Are you?"

I hope they will get themselves together and address this as soon as possible. This should be treated urgently because a huge amount of holdings are at stake here. They should treat everything seriously considering that their track record is not as clean as it should be. I hope they will not just sit down on this highly troubling concern.

If you do not enter phishing sites, nothing happens unless you write your private key in one place. You are completely safe.
From time to time you can also get a new wallet address and change your wallet

I'd think still safe despite the recent split and bad blood over the twitter account.  I mean they would kinda be the prime suspects if something where to happen so soon after.

MEW is safe because I trust it in storing my tokens.
Until now I don't see or hear any reports that there is a problem with their accounts aside from people
who are not careful with their private key and they become victim of phishing sites.

[leviathon]

You can download its source code and run it by yourself if you don't trust the MEW wallet. But I would say MEW is still pretty safe but one can never be sure about the web wallets.

[marcau]

Well if you are using a ledger, I don't see why you should be at risk even in the case of MEW being compromised.

from the first I know ETH and some token ICO based on smart contract from Ethereum I prefer to store it in MyEtherwallet rather than save it in ledger or other place and I think MEW is still very safe it all depends on you how to open wallet at MEW for more safe you should use the json file provided from the MEW to be more secure when opening your wallet.

I think myetherwallet is not safe as of this time because a lot of accounts are being manipulated by hackers, phishings is already there in fact many of phishing websites are registered over the advisory to be aware of most users in accessing wallets. To be safe in accessing website please ensure that the words that you type is correct and legit.

MEW is still safe even there's a split between the team. The only thing that we have to be aware of are the phishing websites that are copying MEW. And with ledger, do you mean ledger nano s? They are both safe and I've been using both of it.

Do you mean 12th of February news? Well, I think one should think twice before transferring money to this new mycrypto.com, but I am sure that mew is still as safe as it ever was. They probably just disagreed on future innovations and stuff, so now their ways split.
And I agree with others who say that using ledger is even safer, since your funds won't be stolen even if others would. Keep calm, it's going to be fine. Others just have to be attentive not to type in their private keys into a good copy of mew.

[Don Stefanello]

It mostly is safe to use, but just use it at your own risk, one of the best ways to store your coins would be to buy ledger and store it that way, it would be much more efficient and safer

[monmoni]

I guess its fine using Ledger as long we use third party apps to access the MEW. It is not safe when our access to MEW only by entering private key. Mostly we got hacked if we enter phising site.

If you want to know if MEW is safe you need to make research, if the MEW is good to use to make people safe.

[Maian]

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.

Yes they are not sure if that is good because they dont get research is better to make research to know anything so that they will know what is the better.
