That's very alarming. Good thing that I'm a lazy person that don't want to type and research sites again and again that I always use so I put a bookmark on it. So much money are pouring in crypto so we need to be extremely careful

I thought I could never be fooled by a phishing page, but today i came across something that was almost fatal for me.
Someone posted a news on a telegram channel that was somehow coming from cointelegraph, saying that MEW had a new vulnerability which hackers could take advantage of, at first view one wouldn't tell it's a scam, especially me with a dusty laptop monitor, the l from the link was with a dot under it, also the link for MEW from that post had a dot under the e letter.
Here is a screenshot of the scam, be careful and pay very good attention to the link, it even has ssl certificate https.
what the F.... Even me, i can't say that, that site is a pishing site ....These hackers/pishers are getting good all the time every one should be warned by these. They're good i can tell but why do bad things such scam? why not use their knowledge to help people...Someone posted a news on a telegram channel that was somehow coming from cointelegraph, saying that MEW had a new vulnerability which hackers could take advantage of, at first view one wouldn't tell it's a scam, especially me with a dusty laptop monitor, the l from the link was with a dot under it, also the link for MEW from that post had a dot under the e letter.

and check the spelling and the
green bar at the Address bar .
that says "Secured"

OP you are describing phishers into hackers, their descriptions aren't the same. MEW is the victim, the real MEW and these phishers are too smart enough to replace lower case "L" into uppercase 'i' to make it look like myetherwaIIet.
When you'll type capital 'i' on browsers like google chrome it will be like lower case of "L".
Everyone must be aware of what's the difference of the phishing link and to the real MEW, just bookmark it.

I see how some people may fall for it.
However, that warning message on the phishing page could never have fooled me.

Thanks for sharing this information. It is worrisome how people's wallets are being targets by these hackers. Everyone just have to be careful.
Thanks for sharing, that dot under e is really hard to spot, first i didn't notice it because i thought it was dust or something on my monitor.
Sneaky one I have to admit.
With all these warnings I am surprised that people still click on links which they get in slack or email.

Always check the url if its correct or not. Mew always maling advice to thier users to check always the url.
The exact address should be myetherwallet.com and nothing else .

thank you for this info. I heard from my friend that many hackers want to attack MEW and stolen the tokens inside the account. we need to take attention for this especially if we have many tokens in our account. but I am sure that MEW will secure the site and protect their customer so the customer doesn't have too worried about this. but we need to be careful with this.
Thank you for the warning. These phishing attacks are spreading like a plague. Original MEW has currently the big red warning on top saying "DON'T GET PHISHED 🎣 1. BOOKMARK MYETHERWALLET.COM RIGHT NOW 2. INSTALL EAL or MetaMask." and this is probably the reason for it.
Also, there's a quick crash course about blockchain and cryptos when you open MEW. They warn the users about security in details and they also advice to use a hardware wallet because in that case you don't have to compromise your private key just let the hardware wallet do the signature part and you are safe. Using bookmarked pages of MEW and e.g. a Ledger Nano S or a Trezor will let you worry less about your hard earned coins
That quick crash course is a big help because that would warn the people when accessing the site. There are so many phishing attempts nowadays and I receive it in e-mail everyday. They are automatically in my spam folder anyway and the best way to access the sites is by bookmarking it and never click any links sent to you. Most of the victim of it are the newbies who will just easily believe anything they read so for us who already know what kind of things those scammers do, we should warn others as much as we can.
thanks for the information, it's amazing to have to be wary of everything
I was once the victim, when I realized I had immediately transferred all my tokens to another MEW. I do not want to take risks, and stay cautious with links given people you do not know.
MEW has taken an extra step to warn users about these phishing attempts and some of the features you need to look for to ensure you are on the right website. You could also bookmark the legit site to avoid falling for such and thanks for the heads up.
They have notifications in their website be sure not to open any email add that hackers needs to grab your tokens. don't give your private keys coz it will harm your MEW.

all these scams are really tiring, transfer cryptocurrency becomes a real obstacle course!

You broke one of the most important and yet the easiest rule about online wallets or exchanges " Never visit a wallet/exchange page from links that been sent threw mails , chats or any external source " . It is pretty much easy rule to follow . Personally when I see messages like this in my mail or chat ( BTW I got punch of them ) I go direct to my bookmarked pages and check to see if this is true , I never follow an external link . People really need to change there habits and work there minds a little before acting .
