Some rumors going around that Myetherwallet got hacked.... Better to stay away and not access your wallet with private key or keystore file until they fix it or they announce an update.... Stay safe ya'll

Reference:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyEtherWallet/comments/8ek0jj/think_i_got_scammedphishedhacked/

--------
UPDATE:

Unfortunately the rumors are true and you can track the hacker wallet here (he stoke almost 25k ETH so far):

https://etherscan.io/address/0xb3aaaae47070264f3595c5032ee94b620a583a39

Here's an official announcement from Myetherwallet:

Same here - they better not be hacked as this would create some more FUD again as a lot of people are using MEW.

Nothing is safe with a computer and on the internet... Don't use a website if the certificate is not the good one or is invalid.
Every month or 2 months, there is some kind of hack with Ethereum... Bitcoin is a little more safer.

MEW itself was not hacked, but DNS somehow was replaced. Anyway you could see a warning sign in the browser before opening your wallet, but some have thought that it is still okay. You can avoid loads of problems by using hardware wallets, just check the address on the device screen when you send the tokens.

They are not ''there'' they are in YOUR wallet. You only access your wallet through mew if you want to. You can use it locally in your computer without going to myetherwallet website. Nothing will happen to you if you don't access your wallet through the mew website. In fact you shouldn't really use the website at all, much safer to use it on your own computer.

Meanwhile, don't access your wallet no matter what, as it's a DNS hijacking (obviously not the actual data since MEW doesn't store your coins on the website)... You can check your balance on Etherscan

There was another recent post that warned about this. From what it looks like, this issue has been addressed and MEW is back to normal.. Always worth taking extra precautions though! (also it seems like this was an issue affecting only MEW generated private keys that were generated during a certain period of time).

I don't think this is fixed, The address posted above keeps receiving eth, last tx was a minute ago..

I still do not believe this rumor, but anyway if indeed all the issues are true
I must have anticipation, to avoid the things that are not desirable,
I have to use a harder wallet,
and I have to move my coin coins that are still left in MEW with as soon as possible.

Yes this is sadly true  Embarrassed every person could lose his all money, it is just about timing that saved you. I always knew that is going to happen one day. I've started to use offline version of myetherwallet because of that.

This affects online web users that use google dns and logged in. How to check: Open a command window. For example, on Windows 7 systems, select Start > Run and enter cmd .
At the prompt, enter. ipconfig -all. Your system returns information like the following, including the IP address.

Hacking is a very bad practice that has come from an unexpected place, very sneakily thought. You have to be very careful about this kind of attack. It is useful to check the time when we will process the URL address in the address bar.

This rumor is pretty much true, and its not even on myetherwallet's part. Anyways this made me remember how cryptocurrencies are dangerous and risky, very easy to be stolen. I was using mew but luckily I didn't for at least 2 months (hodl) so I avoided it by chance (and I was using google dns..)

There has been a very insidious and vile attack carried out by deceivers. We have once again seen how careful we should be as crypto money investors.

Well if you are a bounty hunter then you might as well look for another ERC20 wallet if you think you are not safe with MEW, but as for ME I will continue to use it because so far I don't experience anomaly of this wallet.
