I agree that phishing is the easiest way to access your funds if you don't pay attention to them. It's enough to follow simple rules to avoid this. But if hackers need it, they have other ways to get to your wallet.

Personally I dislike to keep altcoin asset for longer time because I'm usually try to sold as far as it reach the profit target or cut loss if experience downtrending.
In other advantage, we can control our asset much easier but IMO the safest place is local exchange just like I did and over 4 years never occur any problem !

Is MyCrypto a part of MEW because it was developed by the same team?
at a glance based on a search on Google, MyCrypto was founded in 2015 as if it had been operating for a long time

The absence of phishing attacks aimed at the MyCrypto wallet is explained by the same reasons as a very small number of viruses for IOS - a relatively small number of people currently use this wallet, but as soon as this changes, hackers will start doing the same thing with MyCrypto.

I didn't know about this platform. Maybe this will change the wallet used of crypto persons. As long as it is safe it will be in demands sooner. However, to keep the wallet secure still it is the owner full responsibility. Phishing site won't stop to interfere the project that is why we must be more careful.

I have very few of my friends got on phishing sites related to ethereum wallet. I also had no problems with ethereum wallet. But despite this, I am very careful when entering the secret key. I do not want to lose my money.

Just try to use the desktop wallet to avoid such things as phishing or entering such websites. Also remember to keep your private key safe. Never provide any kind of information in telegram. Stay safe guys.

It's really simple. Use MyCrypto instead of Myetherwallet. It's made by the same team, It looks the same and it has more improvements so there is no reason why you wouldn't use it.

I haven't seen a single phishing attempt yet targeting Mycrypto, most likely because hackers are not really aware of it as of now as not many people use it. Either way, the domain name is shorter so It's unlikely that you'll fall it.

And also be aware of the characters "I" and "L", they might interchange the i and l inorder to look like the same domain website. Better to enter the address manually inoder to be sure about it.

i haven't checked MyCrypto yet, but if it is more secure than Myetherwallet, i guess i have to take a look now.
Phishing website often targeting MEW users to input their private key or wallet key and password.
When i knew this, i start to not using MEW anymore but using my hard wallet. Or you can use metamask at least, to avoid phishing.

We will try to go find and try that app as an alternative on MEW to avoid phishing. But I give one hint to other users, if you find without a padlock with green color in MEW address, make sure to avoid using it, because it is not secured. It can be a phishing attacks.

You can also use MEW wallet and avoid entering fishing websites. There are still some people that are sending their private addresses to strangers and are wondering why they have lost access to their wallet. Be advised guys!

Many has fall victim for this shit and why I don't even like it or at times use metamask as an extension which I believe will protect you from hacking your wallet .

Myetherwalle, more popular. To the account hacking I think, Mycrypto security on the same level Myetherwalle. Just click on the fake link and enter the private key. And the wallet's been hacked Cry

I think it's not that hard to stay safe. here are a few steps:

- antivirus always updated;
- use mew with a hardware wallet or at least metamask;
- double check the url, have a bookmark, don't trust links on social media, emails;
- cryptonite extension by metacert can check if a url is fake.

Nowadays I am hearing about a lot of instances in which MEW wallets are hacked and ETH and tokens being stolen. And in 99% of the cases, phishing is to be blamed. Be very careful while using MEW.

Those are phishing links and its not really the problem of MEW because they have been warning on their site since they have found a report like that. Be a responsible and vigilant user of their wallet so whenever you found something suspicious and the spelling isn't accurate then doubt it.
