computer hacker might works with their strategy as spreading script with the function as copying extract of initial type of files to work as running as the beginning of attachment of usb stick to the port of cpu,
as the additional function might be of one as capturing the text file type (notepad,dll) and push with the request to connects to ftp server with the hosting of script as uploading files and becoming publish in internet with the selection of order commands as those might be of one with the different option of ftp upload from the script switches hosted with the server, with the http request to call from the hosted script or more with the different function from library as establishing connection through the different arrange of lines from the non web base script hosted with the online server.

My Ether Wallet is the safest wallet, no one can hacked easily as long as your private keys are secure and you don't share it with anyone. So you have to be very careful about your private keys.

Myetherwallet is the target of many hackers all around the world because most altcoins can be stored in MEW, so it is the biggest target of cryptos hackers,  however MEW is not easy to hack, it is changing and evolving everyday, i dont say it is impossible for hackers to hack MEW but they may change users to phising site and make them give private key easily.

For sure it can. MyEtherWallet not a bank! and it tolds you about it. One of my friend lost his money from MEW, because of viruses. So I recommend you just be safe keep your private key very safe.

MEW is kinda like a hardware wallet, if you have keys you have everything. Don't worry

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?

as long as you keep your private key safe, your Fund are safe, that's what matter, if you forget your private key or you lost it you will lose your Funds,

Maybe it will be hacked your wallet if you post your private key yes it will be safe your tokens in your wallet as long as you save your private key safe.  But for my opinion as long as you dont buy a pc check your wallet in your tablet or cellphone to secure your tokens or convert it into currency and widraw it and hold it in cash so that you dont loses your tokens.

Myetherwallet cannot be hacked and they explained it to their website, they are not responsible for any mew stolen or hacked because it's the owners' responsibility to take care of their wallet.
If you computer was compromised by viruses and worms then your wallet might stolen unless you are very careful. Install good anti virus and don't use waley transaction with other person's computer.

In my opinion, the only safe way to keep your tokens and coins is a hardware purse, such as Ledger, or some other. The private key can not be stolen and you will never go wrong. With it, you are completely protected from spyware. This is the best option at the moment, in my humble opinion.

I appreciate the simplicity that myetherwallet provides, alongside the publicity they're getting for Ether.
But I think it's a bad idea to teach people that sites like theirs are not scammy. It's just so easy to steal the private key and password with a small code tweak - so no wonder there's so many phishing sites imitating them.
Otherwise I do trust mew, but if they decide to steal our funds it's going to be easy for them, too...

Without your private key no one can open your myethereum wallet. So be secured with key and password don't share that key and password. Else MEW is safe. If you want more secured then use the hardware wallets.

since you saved your private key no one can longer open your myetherwallet unless they'll get your usb flash drive and then copy the private key, myetherwallet is decentralized and only you can manage and open your tokens or your wallet, even the website manager dont have access in your wallet

Yes ofcourse myetherwallet can be hacked if someone hackers know your private they immediately track it and steal what is inside your wallet. Once i experience since i mislook on airdrop instead of eth address i fill up my private thats the lesson i learned from my mistake please be aware always cause their a lot of hackers their taking advantage. Be aware on people who wants your private key care it always.

There have been instances where people go to the wrong site. Be sure to check the URL. Sometimes there will be links to MEW with a letter changed or missing that leads to a malicious site. I'd also highly recommend using a hardware wallet and MEW together. Highest form of security.

Well as long as you don't reveal your private key and you don't click any phising link then it's fine your wallet is safe. Most of the hacks happen because people don't double check and enter their private key in phising sites. It's rare to see someone get hacked because of malware. Ledger is very easy to use and there's a lot of guides on youtube how to use it, it's definitely a good investment for the security of your digital assets.

Yes there's a possibility that your etherwallet will get hacked. So we have to be secure on our key or password don't tell to anyone and always be careful when it comes to your etherwallet.

As long as you didn't exposed your private key you're safe. Be carefull to MEW right now. Better to use Metamask, it is more safe than my etherwallet. Because there's a chance you will lose you funds once the MEW get compromised. Beware all the time.

Few days ago my ether wallet was hacked. To be honest I'm so excited to look my coins always on my wallet. Sad to say my address was compromised I'm shocked.!
Experienced is the great teacher.
If you won't open it, it is safe as long as you alone knows the private key.
