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 Technology once again tend to be outdated and hackers attack for stole the funds.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.

#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/

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.

Thank you for this post. Now that I'm updated to it. I won't do any transaction till the issue will be fix.

This will be horrible to those who got hacked. I know, that it was hard that all your effort will be nothing.

Stay safe guys.

I read the news regarding this issue on their twitter account. And now everything seems to be normal again and they give us a pro-tips on how to avoid to be scammed and phised. Wish it'll help us to stay safe.

I have read this on twitter and the page of Myetherwallet even notified it's user about this. They said that as long as there's a certificate on the site it is good to use. The site gets redirected to a phising site and almost 200+ eth was snatched from other users. I read an article that only certain regions were hacked such as: Italy, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. But, it's always better to be safe.

Shameful. How this useful site can get hacked?

They didn't get hacked, but public Google DNS got compromised. Their addresses 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4. were down in some parts of the world, not sure if they still are. An attacker hacked into those addresses and pointed MEW domain name to a different IP. That is how when people opened even their bookmarked MEW URL, they went to a compromised IP and when they entered their private key, the hacker snatched it (because it was entered into his own server). The certificate should have warned people from doing so (because the certificate was missing and was not green), but it is easy to be a smart now, when things are over.

I'm checking that green url and I have Cryptonite, which is a great help.
Very dangerous setup from hackers. Thanks for explanation.

Presale Starting May 1st

It was not hacked, they are the group of people who are really experts in hijacking so let us be careful so that we won't be a victim, we must be thankful that a lot of people here are concern for other people.

It seems to me that if MEW hackers could hack, then maybe the market will go down. Hackers now have no barriers whatsoever, they can hack everything and it's very bad.

Seriously I feel paranoid using mew at this time, btw here one of the hacker address : 0xb3AAAae47070264f3595c5032eE94b620A583a39 ( I got it from telegram community chat). That Means for now the safest path is to use hardware like trezor right? Or use metamask still safe?

Hardwares are the safest option while everyone don't have it. In that case, Metamask is fairly safe, but I'd suggest to use offline transaction. So that you are out of risk.

Update 1:
MyEtherWallet says, everything is normal now. [however, I'm advising to stop transaction for few more hours and learn from more users]
here is the official tweet https://twitter.com/myetherwallet/status/988836522974572544

Stay safe.

Augmented Reality World Discovered

This is awful,those people who used mew and put their rmoney to these keys probaby got hacked as long as these people arent going to put their keys thru researching because it can be easily hacked,then the time i dont like to dos so if iwere you i wont be wasting my time and effort for this campaigns as there are uncertainty between the two.

Hacker is the greatest problem confronting cryptocurrency ecosystem. However, I think this will be sorted out as soon as possible.

We just need to wait and let them solve the problem.
MEW will not let this slide for a long time and issue will be gone soon.
though this one will be a big lesson to them and will improve their security more.
it's bull run days btw, so let it stay their and dont open your wallet.
