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?
It should be safe to use Mew with ledger since ledger don’t disclose your private key to the browser. However, always check whether you are on the real Mew website as there are too many phishing websites around.

I always keep tokens based on smart contract ethereum more often using MEW than others because in my opinion I have been using MEW still safe.

I can not say anything about the security of MEW yet, but I've never noticed anything wrong with the safety of this wonderful wallet, I think that you should just be more attentive to some details, for example, to exactly where you go to the right site you have come.

I think MEW is still safe, but a valid alternative could be Metamask , probably better than MEW. Try it !

Just did a fee transaction and everything looks fina as usual. As long as the private key is safe!
when login try only use json file do not use private key because login using json file is more secure than using private key. I think MEW is very safe for me to use as long as you can be careful when using it and do not forget to bookmark link MEW

Nope, but the reason is completely different and that is those using Google's dns servers might get hacked if they visited the myetherwallet website. This is one of the issues of web wallets, that one is always at risk of getting hacked and losing all his coins due to no reason of his. For now I will say to stay away from MEW.

I heard that this wallet was attacked by hackers. I was very upset. Previously it seemed to me that this is a very reliable wallet. Beginners should be careful now.

If you are not using Google DNS than its safe for you. But also you can use mycrypto.com its now more safe then myetherwallet. DNS servers are hijacked soo you cannot be sure when its safe to use mew again. (You must check certificate to be sure that you are using real mew)

Safe or not will depend on us. It is our job to make our own account safer. MEW is still the best for me.

Classical attack. Not MEW is guilty. Any company can be hijacked such. But MEW is very popular and hacker choose the excellent goal for substitution

For me MEW is still safe because I am for now I am still safe all my personal data, I hope it will be safe always for the future later. And for me if the matter is safe it depends on the user negligence.

I would suggest buying a hardware wallet asap and stop using private keys because those are easily hacked or phished. I was the victim of one a long while ago and quickly learned my lesson to buy a ledger nano.

I think for now there is nothing to worry so much about MEW unless your Private key is compromised. What ever dispute they are having now does not affect MEW. Anyway I am wondering why the news about MEW is coming now that MEW has just recovered, why not during the dip. We should be very careful with our wallet information now because hackers are out on the street of crypto city.

I think that MyEtherWallet is safe to use. I have been using it for ore than a year without any problem. It is also very difficult to hack. Just keep private key in a safe place.

We consider MEW a secure and easy to use. It has not received great ratings by our users however (only 2.4). The best online wallet according to our users is currently Xapo, Omni, Enjin Wallet and Trust Wallet. Have a look here and compare between all wallets: https://www.cryptowisser.com/wallets/All the best, Cryptowisser

Mew is a good tool to create ethereum and token wallet. So it is not necessary to use myetherwallet only if you want to make a transaction. You have access to your tokens, you have private key and you can use it anywhere. When you see messages about hacking or something else, you can just not log in your wallet or do it on another resource. If you want to check balance - just use ethplorer. And no need to worry about this.

Please do yourself a service and purchase a hardware wallet. If you are relying on private keys stored online, you might find yourself some trouble when sites like mew are compromised.
