They had a perfect timing to stop the bull. These are the crypto markets that can not stop.

Is this true? today I have several times access myetherwallet to transact, is my wallet safe? this worries me and scares me.
There was a twitter update from MEW that everything seems to be stable now, but I think it would be best not to access the wallet for some time. The hackers used the technique which lives the name of the website as it should be, but redirects it elsewhere. It's kind of tricky and not that easy to notice. Hey guys do you know could this happen to MetaMask account?
ps. I should purchase Ledger as soon as possible
I don't think it can. Metamask is an extension on your browser, I think it's pretty different from accessing a specific website. At least, I see no people talking about this dns thing being also the case for metamask accounts. Theoretically, though, it could be hacked or you could be deceived, as some stories about Metamask on github show. Thanks for help, mate. My Metamask account was not affected. Don't worry If you are using Metamask to store your ETH and your token I using MEW and Worry to open MEW now. better to wait until any announcement by MEW.

It is scary how often do these scamming/phising attempts happen. Every investor and trader should take precautionary measures and make a habit of them (always checking SSL certificate, never accessing MEW from borrowed, public or suspicious computers etc.). We are never safe in this..

This so worried,I read some article regarding this news and i shocked that hacker steal millions of dollar worth of eth and other ERC-20 tokens.The hacker is smart that he able to hijack the DNS of MEW and create some phishing technique.I have also token and eth and i did not acces right now until the issue concern will resolve.
I think all will soon be resolved and everyone will be safe. All hackers are getting smarter as they continually attack the market and we should have more layers of security. I am confident MEW is working to fix this and will give investors more options to secure their accounts. The best advice is not to log in at this point as it is very dangerous That's why i did not use MEW for a while,I dont want to risk my privatekeys over them, I know that fact that they are working on there DNS issue but still i dont get confident, who know's what the hacker thinks that they can repeat what is already they done.

Just use Ledger Nano/Trezor wallet or local version of MyEtherWallet at least (In this variant all you need to fear are viruses/phishing extensions).

once again when hackers make substitution of CSN and depositors lose their coins. Unfortunately, the MEV team still does nothing to make the wallet safe

Agree with you. A lot of fear on market. MEW and article about " OKEx Suspends ERC20 Deposits on Discovery of Critical Ethereum Smart Contract Bug" after that . Looks like someone tried to stop bull market. Anyway I'm not using MEW uti situation will clear. Usually I use metamask so generally I'm not worried about . But in general I worried that crypto has so security problems and I hope MEW will do good job for security our funds. Cause it's really sad wehn people lose their maney that way. It's worst than even scam ICO. When wallet was hacked you didn't know about and don't even know to do.

some exchange markets have begun to withhold all transaction activity for tokens erc-20. The MEW effect is immense and damaging to the ecosystem if it does not immediately get a practical solution. I do not understand what the relationship between giveaway eth is being intensively done with the practice of piracy dns this time.
Obviously this is very detrimental to many things and the sustainability of the platform itself. I feel this as a hackaton that will make things worse.

it was not scamming nor phising but instead it was DNS itself. when you are loging in into your account,you will be redirected to 'someplace' and then your account automatically do the transaction. no matter what,as long as you try to log in or get access to your account, you will do that directly. so it's not phising or scamming,it's much more worst compared to those things.

Yes, now it is better to refrain from using MEW to sleep peacefully and not think about what coins can steal. I hope soon everything will be fine and we'll get to use MEW.

Besides DNS hijacking like this could happen to literally any other website, crypto or not. Any kind of security breach can happen to anyone anywhere, you can only use so many measures to prevent it, even top security websites can get hacked. Best thing to do is to split your coins into different options, exchanges, wallet, ledger, paper wallet and so on. It's virtually impossible to lose all your coins this way.

I see, good to know some very informative knowledge from you. I also believe hackers are getting smarter day by day. So it is good to know what actions we will take as soon it will happen to everyone.

This is the proof that any system can not stay safe. DNS hijacked possibly that one of their dns server is being hacked. It is the same hack method as etherdelta when ED being hijacked and thanks god only 230 ethereum. ED hijacked more scary than this hijacked.

I think now MEW security is not guaranteed anymore, I myself become a victim of hacked wallet hack, somehow they can find private key access and it makes a headache for token holder

Indeed. That's why i seen many topic in this forum that discussing about securing asset into hardware wallet or cold wallet save on computer outside of network, etc. Because this is big issue that still happens many times. I think now MEW security is not guaranteed anymore, I myself become a victim of hacked wallet hack, somehow they can find private key access and it makes a headache for token holder
I don't think they are has been dump MEW database, so the possibility that happened could be you entering those phishing site and input your privates key into it or those hackers has been compromised your computer before.
