I still use MEW and I am happy with it. I am using Metamask for additional peace of mind. Both together are safe enough in my opinion.

Using MEW with Metamask will be a safer bet. I like MEW as I have bounties so need something that can store those ER20 tokens.

Remember to import your MEW from metamask to avoid using their pre created wallet address.

Doing this allows you to see your balance in Metamask with your original MEW (need to add tokens)

Yes, i am not using metamask anyway, it is more than unsafe for me.

I tried to use it a long time ago and it was a waste of time, it is the same as storing your json on your desktop..

I've installed Metamask as an additional security measure. In the long run, it's probably a good idea to move your crypto to a hardware wallet such as a Trezor or Ledger, but for those lacking the budget there simply isn't many more secure options.

problems for MEW will never run out and will continue to appear, it should be for them to implement signed messages for each user's wallet and even think of dividing the two coins by the proportion of value and volume premium. Mew still has big problems with security and they are also impressed not being able to keep 100% user account safe.

Indeed, with the incident that has happened to MEW made a lack of trust on the web and now I have also switched to using third party apps, and so far using this app is still safe and convenient, probably will not access MEW using the web from MEW.

I guess that you shouldnt worry about using MEW, because they fixed this problem with DNS servers. Also you must always be aware that your connection is safely, f.e green lock in Google Chrome.

For the last time, MEW was never hacked. Google's DNS was hacked which is completely out of MEW's control. Even if you use another wallet, their DNS server could be hacked and pointed to a phishing site as well.

Yes I still use MEW , but I also start thinking to leave MEW, it's because of MEW frequently hacked !!! But I'm not going to rush! I think I still can not count on anyone more, at least for now!

Why not? MEW have fixed this issues with dns servers, so it is still safely to use it. Always pay attention that your connection is securely (green lock at url line)

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 do not know what other people did, but I continued to use this wallet. I had to make urgent payments, and there was no time to deal with other wallets. Since all the payments were successful I continued to use it as usual.

absolutely. If you use MEW offline together with trezor, you're perfectly safe. If you're opening yourself to vulnerabilities, you can't really blame the MEW if the money is lost..
But we can not just because the attacker hacked in the recent times that we have bad thoughts about it, that is wrong thinking and negates all MEW contributions to us. Nothing is really safe in this virtual world, this is one thing nobody wants, and we should know that after every event like this,
security will be better and more enhanced, and to be more secure, we must divide the property and limit putting it all in one place ...

Yes I still use Mew but with the recent hacks I noticed my holdings aren’t safe anymore, so I resorted to accessing my ether wallet through metamask, that’s the safest option for me now since have not got a ledger or hardware wallet which is a better option for me, would finally get it one of this days.

Yes, I use MyEtherWallet and Metamask. I think it's safer to use Metamask because it's less used and hacked where you can steal more.

I still use MEW even though there are many people who talk about hacking. Because I always use MEW very carefully and not carelessly. So I am grateful until now I have not experienced hacking. You could try using ledger, I think it's very safe.

Yes, I still use MEW, but I use it so rarely that all these hacks do not affect me. I often transfer ETH to MEW for long-term storage, all that I need to work on my exchanges. In addition, there are many ways to go to MEW without using your key.
