yes it can be hacked, but always make sure that you keep your private key safely. you can put in a piece of paper and keep it. dont share it to anyone thats for your own safety and practice safe browsing. sometimes you can get hacked by visiting some suspicious sites or downloading softwares.
I have been using myetherwallet for almost 1 year and si far i did not heard that myetherwallet got hack except for those people who accidentaly expose there private key or fill in some phising sites. I think your fund will safe as long as you keep your usd in a safe place.
Surely sure with it that your funds is safe as long you keep your usb in safe place and dont lose it so you can open again your wallet later of you have a new computer. You can also open in some computer that you trusted but you just need to be extra carefull in phising sites.
No worries about that bro, you won't lose your funds as long as your private keys are safe with you. Do not share your private keys to anyone else and never lose it.
I think not, because this application is well designed and well thought out security system of this project. developers have applied all modern resources for security.
If u click on suspicious links and fake links myetherwallet can be hacked if u give ur private keys to hacker link then u may loose all ur tokens in myetherwallet
You did well by getting your keys on a usb and on a piece of paper. Storing them in your computer is risky. Secondly myetherwallet is not %100 safe so you need to be very careful no matter what. Your coins would still be there but it's better to keep your coins in a hardware wallet if you ask me.
You won't lose your funds if your private keys are safe with you, do not let your private keys gone or stolen. Peoples could get into your account without a private keys.
I think the MyEtherWallet wallet is one of the most reliable purses, which is protected by a secret key that can not be picked up or hacked in any other way. In the situation described by you, it's better to use the function etherscan.io to check the contents of the wallet, and then everything will be okay with your wallet. By the way, this function at the same time and shows the rate of your tokens in your wallet in relation to the dollar, which is quite convenient.
for me yes because if they know the private key our any data that can use to access your wallet they can access it. then can use keylogger, phishing and other. ^_^
Hi!
Unfortunately, yes.
But you can make it more secure if you will use MetaMask or LadgerWallet with MEW.
These addons will make MEW almost totally secure.

if you share your private key and take pat in airdrops sharing private keys there is a chance of hack.. never save private key in vulnerable areas
myetherwallet is safe ,but keep you private key safe ,i recommend you not use private key it's not safe there is no password ,the best is UTC file ,you can set a strong password .
Yes through your computer, private keys,and also untrusted links. You need to hold you keys like a precious gold to prevent be hacked.
Unfortunately, any wallets could be hacked if your computer is compromised by some spyware. Take care of your computer if you do not want to face with that issue.
If you have private keys safe and your paper with private keys are safe then I believe that your funds will be okay and won't be hacked. You have to know that the main key is private keys, do not lose it.
myetherwallet platform can be cracked by anyone, my recommendation for you is do not open myetherwallet with private key. it's better to use utc, because a lot of hacking happen because someone open myetherwallet only with private key.
Yes this is the safest way. Don't get trusted anyone knows your private key. Because this is the only key that your MEW can be hack anytime. Used UTC keystone instead if you get to open your MEW because it has your password to keep prevented it. This is already happened with my best friend that he accidentally lifted his MEW open with his private key in the internet cafe shop's, he completely losses his portfolio for a few hours passed and that was being hacked by whom he does not know.
A broken computer does not mean that the MEW has also broken down. The important stuff is that you have a private key in a safe place. You can enter MEW on any other computer. However, do not use the private key in the future. It is better to download the JSON-file and enter MEW with help of it.
Not met people who have just lost the money, people usually do not abide by safety rules and lose the keys.
My MEW never felt hacked by someone some time ago. Somehow but some of my coins disappeared and sent to an address. When I searched the address, I saw quite a lot of delivery history from MEW others.
