if you have not posted your private key to myetherwallet. i think you are safe. it would be very nice if there is an ether wallet like jaxx. i don't like myetherwallet
Of course it can be hacked. Because I think that we can not create perfect programs yet. Of course, we are striving for this, but we still can not do this. But I think with the help of AI we can.
keeping your private wallet address makes you more secure but it is better if you will having a hard wallet instead of software wallet, sometimes keeping your private key is enough but if you want to feel secure used hardware wallet . All wallets can be hacked specially if you are not careful .
As long as you not put your private key while login to Myetherwallet, you are safe. Another tips for securing your myetherwallet is, you should try metamask and try to connect it to myetherwallet.
I think your coin is still safe.
Because nobody knows about your private key, this is the most important thing to do. Keeping it in a safe, private and secure way, your coin will be safe.

Myetherwallet can be hacked by the crypto theft masters around but I will recommend using an hardware wallet like trezor where you private key doesn't leave your wallet. Hardware wallet is the best way to stay away from hack.
that's possible to hacked the (MEW) my ether wallet by the hackers i suggest to keep the private key to anyone for your own security.
Myetherwallet is secure to the extent of your own security practise. If you do not expose your private key to the phishing site and you store your private key properly in paper wallet or ledger Nano etc, you are relatively safe!
Chances are very minor to hack Ether wallet. Just don't share your private keys with anyone. The myetherwallet site is just an interface for creating and managing your wallet. You can even use the local version of myetherwallet on your computer. An attacker can get access to your wallet, if only you yourself somehow compromise your key. So protect your private key at all cost.
it is highly unlikely that your crypto can be stollen somehow. The thing is that mew is decentrialised system and it is a lot harder to hack than a centralised one.
At this point, you can hack everything, just something that will be more difficult, something that is easier. In my opinion MyEtherWallet is a fairly safe wallet, but I would still try to minimize my risk!

The main feature of MyEtherWallet: each client independently controls its account (and is responsible for storing the keys in it). If you lose your key (which is generated during the creation of the account), you automatically lose your money. It is important to approach the registration responsibly (there is nothing complicated in it).
The network again appeared information about the security problems of crypto services. According to rumors, once again, a purse for the MyEtherWallet ether has been compromised. Users of the wallet, namely the EtherBlue project, claimed that the site had undergone a hacker attack. But hacking is not the only way to get users' money or affect the reputation of a crypto currency or service.
The most common way of hacking user accounts is the banal substitution of letters in the domain name. Scammers simply add an extra "t" or "l" to the site name, so users do not notice the difference and trustingly follow links from "reliable" search engines.
But the MEW administration categorically refused to recognize the hacking of the service, assuring that everything works as before and there is no reason to worry. However, the developers were right: the site was not hacked, someone started a rumor to play on the nerves of users.

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?
I think you are safe unless you loose your private keys
The only way for your My Ether Wallet to get hacked is if you expose your private key in public. Make sure that you store it somewhere safe that only you can see it for good.
When there are airdrop opportunities out there, never ever enter your private key if they ever ask for it. There are some airdrops that I've encountered that they "need" your private key to automate the process, but that is a complete lie.
Protect your private key at all costs.

MEW is safe and it's all in the blockchain and can't be hacked by anyone unless you entered a wrong url address which will cause trouble, Always keep your Private key safe and stored. Goodluck!
