With the recent hack, I assume a lot of people will switch to something else, what do you think?

I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.

I want to say, if yes I still use Myetherwallet, this is an easy to use and very practical online wallet.
here I just need to download the private key and save it carefully.
If you feel unsafe about using MEW, I recommend using Metamask.

Yes I still use MEW for my holdings. I don't frequently open my MEW so when the attack happened my account is not affected and the legit site of mew is bookmarked on my pc. Though, I am planning to buy a hardware wallet for more security of my holdings.

Yes, I'm still using Mew until now, hopefully no hacking happens on my mew. I think because I use my computer alone, no one else, and never open a mew site from another computer, and I do not open links from emails, I think so it is safe enough for me. Anyway I also bookmark my mew, hopefully my step is quite safe.

I think MEW is one of the best ether wallets. This wallet has proved its reliability for long term of work. Also I see a lot of security improvements for this wallet that is really good

The Future Of Work

Yes, i still use it and i dont know why everybody are so scared of it. The bookmark funtion in browser solves
this problem very well. And dont enter with key. If you want to check your balance, use only wallet number. Thats all. Anyway if you want to go with most of MEW developers then mycrypto.com is your choice.

1.: Use it with a Hardware wallet.

2.: Download the code from their Github (check like a BILLION times that it actually is the RIGHT Github!)

3.: Run MEW locally, preferably signing offline on an airgapped computer (if you are super paranoid)

ALWAYS CHECK THE RECEIVING ADDRESS DISPLAYED ON YOUR HARDWARE WALLET!
The last attack spoofed the receiving address in a way that the actual address was only displayed on the Hardware Wallet, so being negligent here would have still lost you your funds, even if you used a HW Wallet.

It is a good choice, we better use other options besides using MEW. For example we can try other wallet or maybe waves to save the tokens we will be get. Because as you said that now there are so many crimes like hacking.

Yes I'm still using MEW, there's no problem using it as long as I know how to hide and keep my private key. I have not had a problem yet maybe because my coins value is not over a million in total. If I have no choice but to have only mew wallet for the large amount of coins, better to create more than 2 mew wallets or find a better one to spread my coins.

Nope, not anymore, i am not using myetherwallet since they were hacked and millions of dollars were stolen from inocent people, that is the reason of why i am only using mycrypto at the moment, and of course, protected by a hardware wallet

I still use MEW, its still one of the best wallets there is especially for ETH and ERC-20 tokens, as much its a shortcoming for the web based wallets to be vulnerable to hacks, it sometimes comes down to your personal activities and the caution you take while dealing with these wallets. I think if MEW is properly encrypted then there is nothing much to worry about. Avoid frequent log ins Into the account as it makes it easy for the hackers to get access, , Observe the security protocols and you will just be fine

I have now used Meta Mash to create a protection layer for my MEW wallet because without Meta Mash, your private key is vulnerable to hackers and steals valuable assets. I also recommend that if you still use the MEW wallet then you should not sign in with the private key but use a JSON file to log in to limit the copying of the private key.

I advise you to continue using MEW until the developers have brought MyCrypto to mind.

Nope, i think it's very unsafe to use MEW nowadays. I'm really thinking about buying hardware wallet or to create my own wallet for better security of my money. Grin

I still use mew, but I don't think that hack was serious, (a few wallets). But I'm going to buy Ledger Nano S.

Because of recent frequent attack on MEW i have stopped using MEW and opted for mycrypto.com it is very easy to easy just like MEW itself but i haven't hear about any attack on them so i will stick with mycrypto.com now.

The hack that MEW users experienced has nothing to do with the wallet itself and that is something that could occur to any electronical wallet so you should actually watch out no matter what wallet you use.

Yes you're right the recent hack attempt is DNS servers and it will take you to a phishing site of MEW if you're not vigilant you can lose your tokens on that time
