Yesterday MEW DNS servers was hacked. Some people says that it happened before and repeated again yesterday. This is BAD for MEW because they did not tighten their security on their DNS relay or servers.

The total amount is on 500K USD but the hacker eth address account is pointing to another address with 17 million USD balance.

Its not yet done. there are some DNS server that are still affected by this DNS hack. DO not log in on MEW if the certification is not valid when you open the site.

not yet. wait for further announcement to make sure that your private key wont leak, just standby and dont use it as of the moment.

Fortunately, I didn't have time to get tokens yet, so I didn't lose anything from this attack. I sympathize with the victims.
