it is safe but it depends of what you do to make it safe. i have mew and only have add blocker and metamask in my browser. it is the third party program that are not secure not the MEW. i never have an issue or hacks with my wallet and i am still using the same wallet since i started.

I think the safest and easiest way is to use a hardware wallet like a ledger nano. There is always hack risk at online wallets even you use it as offline. By the way, of course, hardware wallets also has some risk.

You could have posted a screenshot of that announcement to make this more believable and reliable as well. Still, I have not experienced any hacking nor theft in myetherwallet. Good for me. Let us just be careful when using this site to avoid being phished. Also try not to save your private keys on your social media if you want to be extra safe.

I have been using that said ethereum wallet for a long time now and so far I have not encountered any hackings of some sort but I do make sure that I do not install any crypto related plugins all of my usernames and passwords and private keys are saved on paper not in my computer.

The purse itself MEW has a sufficiently high degree of security, i do not understand, why users accuse the developers of the wallet, when they themselves neglect the elementary rules of safe handling with it and use third-party unchecked applications to enter the wallet?

It is not necessary to install questionable applications, in order to use the MEW. You need to be more vigilant, because scammers constantly want to get our money.

it may seem true there is also true what you say, yesterday my friend lost some of his assets in mew, I do not know what causes it, obviously we now have to be really careful in the transaction.

Well for me MyEtherwallet is still safe 100% in is only depends on the user on how he will protect his private key. It is safe the only thing that not is safe is the vpn that you've used. So the title i think is misleading for the content itself.

It is pretty safe to me. As already stated in previous comments, it is the users who should be extra careful. Anyway, there are other existing web wallets out there like Blue and MyCrypto which you can use should you decide to. I suggest you watch out for the launch of the Equal Web Wallet too.

MythMyEtherWallet warns users of the hacked Hola application
Hola is a free VPN service with over 8 million installs and a 4.9 star rating.

Specifically, the MEW side posted the following on their Twitter:

"URGENT! If you have installed the Hola extension on a Chrome browser and have used your MEW wallet for the last 24 hours, please immediately transfer your funds to a brand new account!

We have received reports that Hola has been hacked for about 5 hours and this attack is to record your activity on MEW. "

I think myetherwallet is not safe, because recently MEW was frequently visited by hackers and the incident four months ago had total 216 ETH stolen after some DNS servers were taken over and controlled. That leads the user to a fake website

MyEtherwallet is safe, for such a long time i've been using this one there is no instances that i got hacked or someone stole my funds in there. You just need to protect your private key very well and dont use anything else like extensions or vpn because they might get breached just like what happened in google dns.

as long as you are never touching any suspicious link or et malware and you fund will be safe. I never try to do any stupid step to clicking or visiting something that looks suspicious for me. MEW is safe wallet as long as you can keep your own personal data from someone else. A lot of people are forgetting it.

In crypto everything is unsafe, You have to secure your fund yourself,
Myetherwallet have some security issues but if we use it the proper way no problem at that all, Hola is a third party application and it is already have negativity in past this time also same thing happening, Please aware form third-party application, I recommend to use hardware wallet

My etherwallet is not really safe? I suggest if you are using myetherwallet be sure that your typing the exact address not your private key because ones your private key will you send in myetherwallet from the address it will surely scam your account its useless so be careful when you are using myetherwallet.

And the victim of this hack is Hola, not Myetherwallet. So Myetherwallet is still safe. We should say that VPN services are no longer secure. About the recent DNS hack, it's the Google Server fault, not them.

Myetherwallet is really safe! that's why I chose that from the other wallet! and is proven by many, MEW is not the problem, as long as you keep your all info in private and must know that there's no safe in this kind of business, so be careful always.

It depends on yourself.

It can be safe. Always check the https/SSL/whatever.  Don't put your private key there, use safer ways too, like metamask. I really like the wallet though and find it strange Bitcoin doesn't have a similar thing.

How did you know that it's not really safe? Maybe you gave your private key to someone or somebody compromised your private key. But i suggest to buy hardware wallets for you to store of Ethereum and ERC-20 token.

It's very sad that myetherwallet users are so unprotected from hackers. I have already heard many cases when these purses break. We all need to go to the hardware wallets, because it's safe and convenient.
