Yes when the site get's hacked you will lose all your funds.
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?
Yes myetherwallet can hacked. I've experienced it ethereum I lost in myetherwallet when I never give my private key to anyone. but my eth address can still be hacked. So i think it is not safety save eth or other tokwn in myetherwallet.
I used to open new with private key but then I got a mani S and a new eth address and transferred all funds to new address on nano s. The private key on nano has never been revealed
Can myetherwallet get hacked? Anything in this world can be done if we want, let alone the problem of retas, hackers everywhere whenever they want to hack must be done and it rarely fails most hackers do his action 90% succeeded as good as any that his security system.
Your fund are save if your private key are not exposed either showing it to a third party or clicking on a phishing scam to be on a more safer side why don't you buy hardware wallet your private key doesn't go out of your hardware wallet.
There is a lot of talking about myetherwallet or other site being hacked, but nobody brings proofs or a clear description of what really happened.
Of course, theoretically anything online can be hacked, but for what I can understand, myetherwallet is about 99.999999% safe.
The true is that most people don't take minimal security measures, they enter in phishing site, expose their private key or have THEIR computer hacked, and then blame MEW.

Few weeks ago there is a notice that MyEtherWallet was hacked so everyone was advised not to log in. I think eversince we've used computers in our daily lives, we are vulnerable to hacking so does those crypto wallets even if there's a lot of softwares promising us protection and such. Let's just keep our faith that our investments will be safe until the end of our lives 
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
For me it's a yes eventhough myetherwallet is very secured and very trusted it can still be hacked by the hackers if we will not keep our private key or it surely hacked if we will send our private key to other people but as long as we keep our private key secret there is no chance that our myetherwallet is we will be hacked. 
If you keep safe your private key, there is no way you account could be hacked.
Btw, I heard rumors that myetherwallet was bought by mycrypto.com or something so, I didn't understand too well.
Any idea?
Yesterday, the crypto community noticed announcements about MyEtherWallet supposedly changing their name to "MyCrypto" based on posts on Twitter.Btw, I heard rumors that myetherwallet was bought by mycrypto.com or something so, I didn't understand too well.
Any idea?
There have been no other announcements through other official MyEtherWallet channels, and the MyEtherWallet Twitter has now made a post suggesting that their Twitter handle was compromised and changed without their knowledge. It is unclear at this time whether MyCrypto is an official project of the MEW team or not. It is also unclear at this time if MyEtherWallet, or other social channels have been compromised.

In your case I think your funds are quite safe unless you have been exposed or hacked before your computer broke but nevertheless no one could hack your private key and brute force your account security details to access your wallet. Just make sure your keys are safe with you and not accessible to other people then I think your safe.
what PC you are using?
I suggest to buy a solid laptop.

yes, a lot of myether wallets has been hacked especially late last year there were enough complains about hacked account. that is the hand work of thhe lazy bones that needs money and wouldnt want to work for it.
it is always a painfull experience that no one will like to fall victim of it especially when you have accumulated much coin.

I think that people that was "hacked" actually entered in a phishing site, or had their private key stolen, or had THEIR computer hacked.
An then, they blamed myetherwallet.
In you take normal precaution, MEW is perfectly safe.

I hear many people theorizing about how MEW "could" be hacked, but I seriously want to know:
Has anyone here ACTUALLY HAD THEIR MEW HACKED?
If so, do you know how it happened?

you can hack everything ... but more often people are to blame for hacking, it does not matter whether it's a purse or a card. you need to be careful and take all the precautions. 
Very well said. If people are not careful and don't protect their private key or purse or card, they always blame hackers. And how many people are keeping their card pin number in the same wallet where they keep the card?!?
Myetherwallet is a very well know wallet out there. As long as you have your private keys with you and you haven't shared it with anyone you funds will be totally safe. All you need to do is act smart and don't fall for anything stupid.

myetherwallet is a decentralized exchange which is just acting as catalyst so we can easily use the blockchain technology using it.No one handles or managing myetherwallet which is a good thing because you will need to crack blockchain's technology before you get into the mew wallets,but thats not possible because you will need quantum computers to crack down blockchain's security.
