No, there are big chances to get your MEW hacked if you do not have a hardware wallet or if you click on a pishing site/you have rats on your computer.
This is sad, but there are hundreds of people getting hacked by this way.

It is possible but with a small chance. Because it is a good online wallet. As long as you avoid entering on phishing sites, your private keys on your computer are safe. Private keys are the most important one. Without it, you cannot retrieve your wallet anymore. Just keep it safe.

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?

MEW can be hack if you didn't protect your private keys. mew has a maximum security, the only thing mew can be hacked it's because of the phishing sites.

I believe that the probability that your wallet will be hacked is very low. I should be very accurate with your private key. But as I see you are enough accurate about security even without my advices Cheesy

Everything is a little different. It's impossible to break a wallet. You can only lose your funds by opening access to your private key. You can make a mistake by hitting a fishing site. There is a malicious software that can steal your key when entering it. At the moment, the most reliable option for storage is a hardware wallet.

It has only low chance of hacking since MEW has a maximum security. The only thing that can hack your account is when you entered in a phishing site or typed the private keys into other sites.

The myetherwallet site is extremely safe, due to its specific architecture, so I think it's impossibile it will hacked.
And if you take the necessary security measures about your private key (and off course you tkae care to non enter in phishing sites...) you have a satisfacatory level of safety.

I think that myetherwallet is a lot safer than many of the eth wallets, because the site is decentralized, and if hackers can attack myetherwallet, then eth will have a big crisis.

Since it's a platform it is possible that it can be hacked, but only in a slightly little chance. And you're asking if your wallet is safe, i'm pretty sure it is, just don't lose your private key and the 2nd key because without it, i don't know how else you can have access on your wallet.

It seems to me that your assets will remain available, but in general, probably the best way is to write in support of Wink

if i may suggest do not open my etherwallet in platfrom preferably using utc, hacer often happened there like my friend opened my etherwallet on platfrom coins he arrived "just disappear and i may recommend to you do not open my etherwallet with private key because a lot of hacking happened because someone opened myetherwallet only with private key.

Hackers can not hack MyETH, but if you are not careful they can send you a link containing the virus. When you do not know and access the link that your computer is infected with the virus, When you access MyETH Wallet, this virus will record your private key and password. They will steal your wallet this way. Be careful.

there are several ways to hack myetherwallet. And its not called hack. Its a phishing method.
They will serve a website similar to myetherwallet and you will give them your private key thats the only way.

The hacker might amsend you an email pretebding to be some iind of ICO admin, bounty manager and so on. You will be asked to click a link where it will automatically install some malware to steal your private key. Better get one of those hardware wallet, still better option out there now
