The answer is that hackers can still access any wallet without needing a private key or any password. Two weeks ago, there was a hacker attack on my wallet MEW and stolen more than $ 17 million.I think you should buy a cold wallet to hold your property. It is very helpful in avoiding hackers because it is not online.
There is a slight chance that it can be hacked but it still secured cause there is a private key and a password to use to log-in. So it is still safe to invest and save in myetherwallet.
You can use MEW in offline wallet mode but there is still a risk that if the pc where you keep the offline wallet is destroyed then you can not do anything, print the wallet on an old printer with no internet connection and no memory, then you can still lose the paper, so there is no safe, there is always a risk.
