Topic: Can myetherwallet get hacked? - page 10. (Read 4259 times)
MyEtherWallet private key has a combination of 64 alphanumeric which it is security purposes to be hard guessing, still there's a slim chance that the hacker can get the exact combination as your private key, so it is possible that your account will get hacked.
With your funds, nothing will happen, since only you have access to your wallet.
If your guests do not come to your home and will not receive your access keys.
So you can sleep peacefully....

Not only myetherwallet can be hacked but all of the wallet can easily attack by the hackers if you don't secure, care, and protect it from the anonymous people. To avoid this don't trust quickly even your friends will said that way because if they mistake on it everthing you have now can be vanish. So protect and secure it as much as possible.
It seems that there are different opinions; I would like to know if those who consider insecure myetherwallet have proofs of what they say (I mean, you know for sure that someone had the account hacked) or it's just an opinion
Myetherwallet can not be hacked if private key is safe. Private key mistake may result in damage to a non-wallet.
I think Myetherwallet is the very secure wallet. And it is very difficult due to the private key. As you seen that in private keys totally 64 character including numbers.so i think it's impossible to hack the myetherwallet.But if you share your private keys with any other person then he/she can access you account and they can also withdraw your money.so i suggest you to never share your private key with any person.
Well it recently just got hacked... 
But it's more likely that your own computer might get hacked (phishing, keylogger, etc.) and through that, they might access your wallet. So, I'd recommend investing in a hardware wallet if you want to stay safe from the hacks.

Hi, i have backupped my pvkeys on an usb stick. I wrote it also down on a piece of paper. My computer broke. I put a metal pin through the harddrives. I will not buy a new pc soon. So i wont check in on myetherwallet for some time. I cant click on phishing links. My question is : are my funds safe? Can myetherwallet get hacked? Can my funds dissapear even when i have no computer, hid my keys? Im to stupid to work with a ledger or trezor. Can something happen to it like with the parity/kill?
It cannot be hack since there is no access for your PC or USB stick thru Internet. Just make sure that your USB stick is a good one that can stand thru time because there are some USB drive that gets corrupted after it stores in a long period of time.

Yes, there is a possibility to get hacked ETH wallet. Since there is a private key to secure your wallet you have to keep it private and do not disclose to anyone and use only a trusted sites and make sure to close or log out in public computers or gadgets.
probably MEW itself its ok and safe enough, but the main problem is that most of people access it from the web
which is not super safe as we seen in the last recent attack a couple of weeks
I wouldn’t trust to use MEW now and moved over Trustwallet which is way more safe

MEW can not guarantee someone not to get phishing and back up user data if actively exposed, this wallet is not centralized so the security ratio is not greater than the attack rate encountered. Hardwallet is an erc-20 alternative which is quite good and coinbase is also seen starting to provide a place for erc-20.
most of myetherwallet victims are the ones who give private keys in some unusual suspicious airdrops websites or else click links in the mail only these are the victims get hacked and these attack are happening very often

Well, everything can be hacked anywhere and any time. As long as you don't lose your private keys, you should not worry to get hacked. Most wallets are very safe, and always safe your private keys on a different device other than the one you use your wallet.

Yes of course because no matter how secured a system can be, but if you are careless, then you will still become a victim of hackers. You have to be vigilant at all times and never trust to someone whom you just acquainted in the internet or whom a person you don't personally know.
Of course, every system can be hacked. But when it comes to such big projects there's definitely smaller chance. Make sure not to tell anyone your private key and 2nd key and of course do not lose it.
I think that hacking without the fault of the owner of the wallet is impossible. At least no one says that he was hacked, but on the contrary, they say that he was hacked, after he moved to a fake site MEW. It's big difference.
Yes, security related wallet mostly will rely on our own treat. Our own behaviour will established on how secure is our wallet. As I see, most people who got hacked mostly because their own fault.
It depends on how strong your awareness of prevention is. If you casually browse websites that you don't know, you accidentally put your myetherwallet private key on some phishing websites, then whatever wallet is insecure, because you lack The basic anti-hacking consciousness, if you are usually very cautious, then I think myetherwallet is absolutely safe.
