Hijack of Amazon’s internet domain service used to reroute web traffic for two hours unnoticed. Far the only known website to have traffic redirected was to MyEtherWallet.com, a cryptocurrency website. This traffic was redirected to a server hosted in Russia, which served the website using a fake certificate — they also stole the cryptocoins of customers.

#MEW there were news that the CSN was broken and you are redirected to a phishing site. We recommend that you do not use the MEV for a while, until the details are clarified. A source:https://www.reddit.com/r/MyEtherWallet/comments/8ek0jj/think_i_got_scammedphishedhacked/

This topic is very hot on reddit but I think this time myetherwallet is normal again but seriously this makes me paranoid to use mew website. For now i think the safest way today is using a wallet hardware like trezor, btw its metamask its still safe to use?

Exactly, as I also heard this topic on Reddit and really makes us wonder upon the current situation on MEW. Technology once again tend to be outdated and hackers attack for stole the funds. But there is no news on the official site which indicates that company will try to recover the things as soon as possible and does n't create a situation of panic where everyone starts selling their funds, in way to save from stolen.

But I thing that it is not good of not informing the users about the threat and they should have shutdown the server so hacker can not withdrew the coins

Shameful. How this useful site can get hacked?
Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8/ 8.4.4.8 ) Servers are resolving the domain to a bad server that can steal your keys.

Honestly though, what is even the point of crypto if you have to resort to storing it on a hardware wallet just to avoid being robbed blind? That is the same level of security and convenience as paper money, except paper money doesn't come with transaction fees and isn't at risk of going kaput when it gets near a magnet.

Wow I was so afraid when I heard this news and I rushed to check my wallet balance on etherscan and thank God everything was and is intact. I heard it was a dns hack. MEW website itself does not store our tokens but gives us access to the Ethereum network. I think it's safer to use metamask or the offline version of MEW as suggested by OP

it is best not to use MEW at all, it is a web wallet and hacks like these will always happen or at least be a big risk. not to mention that when you are using these websites you are always online and being online means being at another risk of getting hacked and losing your money.
it is always best to use desktop wallets instead of web ones.

Concerning with mew, they said hackers only stole some eths and not other coins, so for those with large amounts of eth better have a hardware wallet, better be safe. And I think mew is good now. I wonder if they really fixed it already

Today I was able to go to MEW and even translated the broadcasts. So, you can breathe freely and continue to work. I hope that there will be no more such incidents)

I've always considered mew to be one of the safest online wallets. What a disappointment( Hope, they'll solve this problem and get back to normal work. All these online wallets are not 100% safe and can be hacked any time, unfortunately((

Thank you for warning! I will not today to make transfers from the wallet. Read, that have them hacked DNS server.It puts us in danger. It is better to wait for official news from the developers before continuing to use MEW
This is the second such attack by a hacker. This is of course not very happy. And don't even know what to do with it. As far as I know, even a hardware wallet will not help in this case
