Yes indeed, I have already read about this, and I think that this is very serious. Do not enter in your wallet now. It is necessary to wait for the official statement of the developers regarding this problem.

Why did MEW allow this Huh ... this is not the first time hacking. I think they will lose people's trust. They need to think about the security of their site.

It is sad...
The most interesting thing is that almost all Bounty campaigns require a MEW wallet.

Recently, all companies and sites are only interested in their earnings. And about the security of the user is not who does not think. And it's really sad. And here is a link to a similar topic. Here the guy put the code on that dns

Official Statement from MEW: https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988787116015415296
Quote
Couple of DNS servers were hijacked to resolve http://myetherwallet.com  users to be redirected to a phishing site. This is not on @myetherwallet side, we are in the process of verifying which servers to get it resolved asap.
Another Statement from MEW: https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988830652526092288
Quote
Google Domain Name System registration servers were hijacked earlier today at roughly 12PM UTC so that MEW users were redirected to a phishing site. This redirecting of DNS servers is a decade-old hacking technique that aims to undermine the Internet’s routing system.

Now it seems that the situation has been resolved: https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988836522974572544

It seems that everything is now back to normal, BUT PLEASE STAY SAFE and read/share this guide

I do not understand why there is not any other good wallets for Ethereum and its tokens. Myetherwallet seems too oldfashion and useless.

Which wallet can I use for Erc20 tokens except myetherwallet?

Is there any problem with Ledger Nano S?

Exodus and Jaxx is a good alternative I am not logging in to myetherwallet but checking my token using etherscan and ethplorer so far all my coins/tokens are intact, I will wait for myetherwallet official announcement, this is not good they should do a lot to secure their users funds this will hard their credibility.

With this hack I would not be surprised if there were drop in prices, MEW is one of the most widely used ether wallets out there and a hack would most definitely put panic on the hearts of some people. Although MEW has shown that the fault for the hack really did not come from them they are obviously trying to do everything possible to make sure everything goes back in place

Only stole 150000 $ for the cryptocurrency market is not a large sum. Sometimes the theft of money from the stock exchange has millions of dollars , but it is forgotten. Again I advise everyone to check the site for which you come, because there are many phishing attacks that steal our money.
