WARNING: MEW DNS COMPROMISED, OVER 24 THOUSAND ETHER STOLEN

[Antocrypto]

MyEtherWallet DNS servers have been compromised leading to a phishing redirect over the past several hours. This is confirmed by MyEtherWallet on Twitter. A staff member of BLUE has dug through the phishing and discovered an address that leads to the following code line "// eth_recipient='0x06A85356DCb5b307096726FB86A78c59D38e08ee'; //!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" This is believed to be copied code from the legit website. AVOID MYETHERWALLET.

This is terrible news, but we should try to inform everyone not to long on Myetherwallet until the problem will be solved for sure.

While there are multiple threads up about this, it's important so I will write again:
always check that the little green lock next to the url bar is green!

you can also download MyEtherWallet and run locally!!!

Or you could just not use MEW and switch to something more safe and secure

This is,shocking now happen in the MEW website,the question is how could we  know that we still safe using this my ether wallet,and our  portfolio asset  in my ether wallet is still there intact if we could not seen now because there is doubt that its would be lossing,and we hope thats should not happen,but by the way its a a great information given to this community and we really appreciatte this,and maybe there is a wide maintenance now happen in MEW wallet to defense there system.

There is a copycat of MEW and it's still running smoothly right now. I guess the hardware, mobile wallet becomes very helpful alternative wallet to the myetherwallet in these days but it seems you still can open your amount through idex and just send them whatever you want. The DEX was providing transferability to the users.

Tell me a good wallet to be more secure than mew, found just such another , preferably with 2fa

What terrible news, imagine your surprise if you're the one losing money, I have not used that website in some time probably some months but I'm still going to check just in case if my coins are fine and if possible from now on I will look for alternatives because hackers are doing everything they can to get access to that website and steal our coins.

[mast3rm1nd]

never trust an online wallet with your information especially in cryptocurrency, because it might be impossible to track the money that was stolen, it's always best to have a locally installed version on your computer. that's what most people do

[noriksiayol]

Maybe they used direct apps MEW that's why more hackers can easily detect and hacked their ether wallet, hopefully this issue will have a form of direct action from the management of MEW. And as what I have learned there are two options of myetherwallet and those apps myetherwallet is not a safety one, if you want to used myetherwallet please don't used those apps already because it is not safe. We can noticed apps on our phone myetherewallet and easy to download, but it is too risky to use, avoid on that guys.

Yes this is why on MEW site, they talk about how to secure your coins. Remember that MEW is not an online wallet ; this they have said many times on their site. They are interface to your address on the Ethereum wallet. It is easy to hack into the MEW website and it has suffered so much attack. So sad for those that lost their funds

Not sure if your post is FUD or something else if fishy. The supposedly hacker's recipient address (shown below) has no transactions even more than 1 ETH going into it:

// eth_recipient='0x06A85356DCb5b307096726FB86A78c59D38e08ee'; //

At most it got 1 ETH. Where is this 234 THOUSAND ether you are talking about? Thats a lot. and that is probably FUD. Calm down everyone.

BLUE wallet chrome extension. They're working on a trustless DECENTRALIZED 2FA for their wallet.

My apologies, it was 24 thousand ETHEREUM, not 234 ( I am making the edit) but much different than 1 ethereum.

It's definitely a major issue with using interfaces. You're literally uploading your files and private keys to a server that can be easily breached. Their security is extremely weak and I definitely think people need to start steering clear from the interface.

Which other wallet is more safe and secure compared to Myetherwallet? MEW is having more than 10 million users and till now they didn't had any serious issues with bugs or hacks.

[gabum19]

This is disgusting. Hackers know that the coins are getting better they take advantage with our accounts. MEW is not safe for now, if you need to check your tokens go directly to EtherScan.io for your concerns. Be safe everyone, scammers are on their move. Goodluck.

That's where you're incorrect. BLUE Protocol has called MEW out for DNS issues dating back to January-February. During that time, MEW got compromised via DNS and denied it. Coincidentally, the hackers wallet address had funds send to it that date back to around this time with comments via etherscan stating that funds were stolen. Wallets are getting better with their security but 2FA is still breachable. BLUE is implementing what they call a trustless D2FA which will be the most secure feature out there. It's rather funny how cryptocurrency is cryptography but we still have poor security. These are things they're trying to solve. This is not meant as a way to promote their project but they have a really good gameplan in crypto and their wallet is super simple and is secure since it's information is NEVER sent to a server.

MEW never was safe, they can be compromised whenever. It's too targeted, it's security it's weak, and sending user private keys and wallet files to servers is just a gateway for hackers.
