This could easily avoided if people will give value to their security and could extensively examine the site where they input their private keys and avoid downloading things that are suspicious and unncesessary
This, people somehow want complete control over their money and yet they want to somehow not being responsible in the case they lose their coins, with cryptocurrencies we are completely responsible of what happens to our coins and we need to act like it, even if hackers are the ones that are guilty of stealing your coins you need to take better precautions to not become a victim to them.
This time it looks so difficult for the hacker to scam others through use the phishing site. remember they just need to download the desktop wallet of MEW or Mycrypto and the problem has already fixed. It's so easy to do that dude. you should not feel worry about this case.

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.

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.

I think Myetherwallet phishing will be going to succeed if a crypto user will not going to be aware of the website domain address. Hackers can replace one "l" with a capital "i" in the 'myetherwaLLet' domain address. better to double check it always.

for the MEW phishing problem, that is our fault. we are careless in using an application / platform, so we don't have to change applications / platforms, but our habits must be changed to be more careful. If mycrypto is in the future there is a phishing website too, I'm sure there will be more cases like this, recommending new websites. MEW alloy and Metamask were more than enough for me

I think if you want to avoid MEW phishing or any e-wallet phishing site. You should have knowledge of security in basic. I still using the MEW 2 years, and I have the habit that always bookmarks MEW to the bookmarks bar. I think this avoids the phishing scam website to steal your private key.

I stopped using myetherwallet and instead shifted to mycrypto desktop wallet like all the rest of us here, these are because of the so many hacking that has happened and so many phishing websites that targetted Myetherwallet, it's not safe to use MEW if you are ignorant in securing your computer or clicking a lot of links.

Current MEW phising situation is very much happening. So be wary of entering wallet information at any website. The best way is to bookmark your website regularly to avoid being trapped by phishing websites.

It's really not yet that popular to get targetted I'm also using MyCrypto desktop version because I feel secure using it, but I still prefer hardware wallet when storing a huge amount of coins, but when it comes to security, even if you have a good wallet if you are not that knowledgeable in securing your wallet it is useless.

This is not really a way to try to avoid losing your coins, you are relying on that website to remain unknown forever, what it is going to happen when that website becomes popular and hackers see an opportunity to make money with it? You're going to have the very same problem that you have with myetherwallet, just bookmark the myetherwallet website, it is easier and it is safer than to try another website.

Personally, I feel my etherwallet is secure and reliable. However, You have to ensure you don't unknowingly expose your private key to anyone or click on strange links and also avoid phishing site to avoid getting hacked. I have been using MEW for a while and no complaint of such.

This is just the first time there will be no phishing sites. The more popular will be the wallet, the more likely that it will pay attention to hackers, and then wait for the first news about the hacking will not be long.

I also use desktop application Mycrypto, and it is very convenient. Before  to this, used the MEW, but be sure to keep a bookmark from the official site and through it went into the wallet. And I agree, that the mail began to come a lot of suspicious letters, I do not even open them.

I don't think i would change to Mycrypto as Mew wallet is more than enough. I've been using Mew for over a year now and I haven't experienced targeting by phishing sites. You need to bookmark the site of mew and I'm using Eset mobile security with anti phishing. And always check the browser if the connection is secure and your good.

Hiding to save ourself is not a good thought if they want they can phise the mycrypto wallet too so the thing we need to do is how to avoid the phising attacks and save our cryotos from that by checking the site when entering into it by checking the domain name which can help us to save is from revealing our private keys and dont enter private keys any wjere other than the real site.
