With the recent hack, I assume a lot of people will switch to something else, what do you think?
I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.

I am still using MEW. The reason is 1) I am using a hardware wallet (no chance for my private key to be hacked). 2) I am using the legit chrome extension of MEW, which is a offline version of MEW (not affected by the recent hack).

That's a good point. I think those are the extra steps everyone needs to take to stay safe. The hardware wallet being the most important.

Yes, hardware wallet is more secured than any other wallet one can think of and it puts the user's mind at rest, because, he has nothing to fear. We have always been receiving the news of attack on MEW. Just recently, it was an attack on the DNS. Which i think might happen again.

Yes I still use MEW but have not tried recently to withdraw coins from MEW because of the issue of hacking but I am trying to venture probably of transferring it to a hardware wallet to be very safe and secure of these hackers.

Yes, I still use myetherwallet. Although there have been some negative news about it recently, I think it is still the best wallet available. There is no reason to choose another wallet. You also cannot guarantee that other wallets are absolutely safe.

Same. But I also use a hardware wallet so I'm generally safe from the hacks.

I still use MEW but since I opened it,I have never inputted my private key in the website because I imported my MEW in my 'im token app,and the best part is that I get alert anytime a token enters or leaves my wallet,since I do airdrops and bounties,it's cool cos I know whenever I receive a token.

Using hardware wallet is much better, but some might think of the cost and because of that, they may decide to use MEW, which seem be free. It is good to opt for what will not make you loose your hard earned fortune, than because of some little amount that you will pay to get s good wallet and loose what you have. Hardware wallet is what everyone should be using most especially now that we have the activities of scammers to be rampart.

Yes I still use MEW but I also use metamask, it's because some bounty campaigns require the participants to use metamask, but I also start thinking to leave MEW, it's because of MEW frequently hacked

Is this official MEW extension you are talking about? I didn't know it works offline, good to know, will definitely install it. BTW have anyone use the site made by former MyEtherWallet dev - MyCrypto? It wasn't affected by the recent DNS problems afaik, so should be safe.

Yes, I use the MEW in conjunction with the hardware wallet (Ledger) and I do not know of any problems. I think that this is the best solution at the moment and feeling absolutely calm myself about this.

I am still using MEW and all is fine, all of that back again to their respective perceptions and how they use their account.
