I think no, it will not, as long as you don't share your private keys. I hope you're funds will be safe then. But if you lost your personal keys, it would be bad for you, because as what I'm reading before you're account cannot be retrieved in MEW once you lost your private keys, so you must take good care of it.
My wallet was hacked. I never gives nobody my keystore file and do not use it on any website's. I was not fished - because always use saved link to a MyEtherWallet.
Well, if you lose you private key, I can say that your wallet is hacked. Try not to let anyone know your private key, your json file as well as your password. And remember to remove virus because some virus can steal users's information, priceless information
Myetherwallet is the safest place for your fund, even you will open after one year. You and no one transfer funds without using your personal key. Your account is always safe unless you have post your own private key on any site or it will be hacked by anyone. Don't open your ether wallet daily and if u want to see the balance of your account then always open your wallet in the incognito window and check your account by entering your ether address on these sites. These names are etherscan.io or ethplorer.io or deltabalances.github.io. I think this is the safest way to handle your account and no one trace you activities by working on incognito window.
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. 
Anything is possible but would find it highly unlikely, I keep all my coins in MEW besides Deeponion and i keep those in their wallet to particiapte in airdrops
Technically it is possible , but it will be very hard to pull that off.
Much easier to just bait stupid people with fishing links , that makes them enough money i think.

I think myetherwallet is very safe and secure. Most people have problems, because they are sloppy and don't keep their computers clean.
never give your private key to anyone ..
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.
the most common way of hacking is not accurate storage of data, which often leads to similar situations ... in our time, security does not happen much as practice shows 
I think myetherwallet can not be hacked, but he can get a scam site that will steal a private key or keystone that we have, many similar cases have happened, so please be more careful
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, it can surely be hacked. But they do claim that they do not store or keep our private keys in the cache, so it should be all good. You might want to look into hardware wallets as they are very safe. If you do not want to buy hardware wallet, another thing you may do is, generate address and private key using a air gapped system and not connect it to internet ever again.

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.
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
Can myetherwallet get hacked? Yes because if you send your private key in some strangers account definetly your etherwallet was hacked they will send your wallet in his wallet account and you will not have tokens that you have if he will hack your account my advice to you be careful when sending your ether address because some are waiting to hacked your account if you will send your private key instead of eth address.
If you have kept each and everything secure and not opened your account on public places and there is no virus in your computer and laptop then I can say your account is secure you just need to keep your private key secure. And always check the Ether Wallet website before putting the Private keys in their because there are many pishing websites also there and if we out private keys there our account will get hacked.
It is safe I think,as long a you have kept your private key safe but don't store it on your device.And don't import your private key in any sites or app for more security. I've been using myetherwallet for months and I don't have a history of getting hacked. Some of my friend got hacked because they use some app and import their private key.And I think Its gonna be much safer if you try to use metamask .
You're more likely to have your pc/laptop hacked than MEW. So it's all on you. Don't leave your laptop unattended, don't download from dodgy links and so on.
Of course it can. Just send me your private key and stuff and I'll demonstrate that.
