Topic: Can myetherwallet get hacked? (Read 4259 times)
Hacking of two DNS-servers occurred on April 24 in order to redirect users to a phishing site. As the MEW statement stresses, such an attack technique has been around for about ten years already, and any organization, including large banks, can suffer from it. So MEW can be hacked in such way. Avoiding phishing site and keeping key safe - can help users defense from hackers.
Yes, your MyEtherWallet can get hacked if keystore/JSON file and/or private key is exposed to someone else.
for me anything on the net can be hacked, but probably hackers will look for a simplest target than myetherwallet. May be, your computer...
So, before to worry about MEW,if you don't have computer i think you can open it in another device like handphone or something. all you need just private key, don't lose it. your private key is the only way can see your funds.

Like other members said, as long as you keep your pv keys and not telling to other people, your fund is most likely safe. But since mew is a platform, it could be hacked too but so far, mew has been proven to be a safe wallet. Make sure to bookmark the real website in order to avoid getting phished.
Actually, it can be hacked since it is a platform but the probability is low.... because the security system is extremely high... but the best way to safe guide yourself is to keep your private key in a secure place never for once share it with people.
We what I really think about this is that as long as you can store and keep your private keys and all other sensitive information then you should be alright. Better be always safe than sorry. So be safe pal and you will be alright.
Anything can be hacked, nothing is 100% safe, most time users complain of hacking, it is usually a case of phishing not hacking, do not save your private key online have hardcopy of your private key.
Probably yes it is possible to hack the myetherwallet this is proven by me, to prevent the hackers don't save your private key to your computer I suggest using the keystore/json File this is trusted.
Always be careful on recording your details and information, hackers will grab every possible possibility that it can get to be able to earn, phising site, forms and ads can be their way so better , read and research throughly in all circumstances, bookmark and making your own locked folders will help.
Of course, myetherwallet can be hacked, hackers have proven that myetherwallet can be moved domain some time ago.
Technology is what rules the world today, its quite funny how it has caused some harm and to others good. i just feel no wallet is 100 percent safe because there are smart IT inclined people everywhere, just pray not to be a victim. some one can be somewhere monitoring whatever you do with your PC. lets just be security conscious and keep our Private keys safe.
Well, the wallets that are built by MyEtherWallet is not going to have that many people interested in it if it does ever get hacked. If it does get hacked then consider it an inside job.
In my experience I've already hacked by someone I don't know where he/she find my private key but same on my other friends were all hacked by one hacker. Maybe some leaked and got our private keys.

It would never hack as long as you didn't give any single details about the private key that you have trezor wallet is very safe and I'm using and never experience hacking on this device.
Hacking will only happen when we are too careless on our information. Phishing sites were the only way our MEW wallet will be hacked or instances of putting private keys on form whenever registered in some campaigns. Always be careful
Hackers always finds a way to hack things even those you think that is hard to hack. A lot of news have been spreading with their MEW getting hack but I think it is more on user error and not the system itself. I have been using MEW for quite sometime now and I haven't came across with any issues or incidents at all. If you are cautious and pretty careful with all you private keys of your wallet then I think you have a little to no chance of getting hack at all.

Until now i dont know are anybody can hacking private key with a strong encryption. Usually hacker trying to using fake website or snipping. Myetherwallet have a good security and have a alternative like metamask or ledger.
For me it depends upon your care. Because for me myetherwallet has a strongest security among the wallets that I've known. But I can say all is possible to happen.
Yes ofcourse it is possible to be hacked especially now a days everything is possible to happen. But ofcourse if you take care of it, it will not happen to you.
I think yes it can get hacked but ofcourse by the people not by the system. So make sure your peivate keys are on safe plaxe to avoid being hacked.
