ATTENTION EVERYONE! MEW isn't safe to use right now.

This is really scary, and i think we should all be careful. I think in this forum 99% people use MEW wallet. It really sad to see its happening with MEW, i hope they fix the problem and tighten their security problem.

The message recommends changing the DNS server:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyEtherWallet/comments/8eloo9/official_statement_regarding_dns_spoofing_of/

A majority of the affected users were using Google DNS servers. We recommend all our users to switch to Cloudflare DNS servers in the meantime.

If in settings of network connection of your computer DNS servers Google are installed (for example: 8.8.8.8.), it is recommended to replace with the Cloudflare DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1.
These servers are safer, faster also support the DNS new technologies

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.

Does my ether wallet even make money from people using their service? I'm not aware of any fees they take or anything, so really it would be quite impossible for them to recover the money. To think an entire DNS like google could be spoofed or hacked and steal a bunch of people's money is just crazy. Wonder how that was even pulled off.

myetherwallet.com isn't safe to use right now. It seems that the DNS of MEW was hijacked, which resulted in loss of all the funds from MEW accounts. Check subreddit for details. It is advised to use the offline version of MEW until official notification of MEW's safety.

Note: I'll update this thread once I found any official announcement.

Update 1:
MyEtherWallet says everything is normal now. [however, I'm advising to stop transaction for few more hours and learn from more users]

Stay safe.
