Topic: Do you still use MEW? - page 80. (Read 5095 times)
The DNS hack only affects MyEtherWallet users that SHARE their private keys to the site. If you practice uploading or broadcasting signed transactions instead of private keys, you will not need to worry about such hacks.
It is not dangerous to use MEW as long as you verify the certificate and is sure that u r not using the phishing site. I have used MEW yesterday to send tokens to binance and had no problem.
MEW was not hacked, it had something to do with DNS server and taking users to phishing site - most of the ppl who lost ETH or any tokens were people who ignored the invalid certificate warning.
you are right. as long as we are careful, the sense of mew is really good. Until now, I still use mews to store eth-based altcoins, or something like that. and it's really a nice and instant place. but recently i heard that mew getting a bit of a problem.

Yes, I trust this wallet in spite of the fact that there are a lot of negative rumors around it. It seems to me that this wallet remains the most reliable.
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.

According to official announcement from MEW team it's still safe to use MEW even when their DNS is compromised but only if you use Metamask or EtherAddressLookup Chrome extensions. In case of a hack attack these extensions will warn you about it. And when you use Metamask you private keys are not transferred to the network.

It's very dangerous to use MEW today, but in any case I use only the local version, because they say that the local version can not be subjected to hacking in any way, but I do not believe it either, in any case any system is not safe.

With so many bad issues about MEW some time ago and recent issues, then I personally will look for other alternatives and will soon leave MEW. Because security is somehow very important. I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.
I'm still using MEW with Metamask extension
So far so good, no problem
But i always double check the ssl, address, etc to know if something is fishy
I think it's a good practice

I think everybody still using MEW wallet because they don't find the alternative to replace MEW. About the use of hardware wallet, I believe it is very safe but only store some popular coins: BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, etc. so that they can't save altcoins. Use hardware wallets is challenging to trade immediately, but use MEW can sell every time

I am still using MEW. The reason is 1) I am using a hardware wallet (no chance for my private key to be hacked). 2) I am using the legit chrome extension of MEW, which is a offline version of MEW (not affected by the recent hack).I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.
I am planning to access my wallet when I need to and I use MEW, because even though some Ukrainian and Russian people made this redirection hack, it is still among the most trusted, secure and useful wallets. The last part is extremely important, because storing all the tokens in one place is a lot easier than creating wallets for each one of them.
If I'm being honest there, I will keep an eye out for MEW and not use it for a while, meaning not creating more wallets or conducting transactions unless utmost necessary. However, I think I couldn't have been affected when the attack happened a few days back, because I'm not using public Google DNS servers, but rather my ISP ones and I always check the certificate, but hey, you never know, right. Better safe than sorry.
It's recommended to run MEW offline or else you can use hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger. Both are kinda secured as the hardware wallet kind of works like an offline PC, signing the transactions in the secure element.
Still think it's the best wallet, obviously this makes it targeted and vulnerable but as many are saying there is always a sign that makes you realize there's something wrong..
Yeah still now I am using mew wallet. Because it is totally safe and secure which can not be hacked..
I think MEW is still the best ERC token wallet out there, nobody can come close to it. And if you are careful and make a strong password and don't put wrong address, then I believe you will be fine.

as of now Im not using my Mew, I used metamask instead, I dont also used my ledger to connect to mew to secure the safety of my altcoins. I dont know if the issue has been fixed now or not. so its better to avoid using it for now. I still recommend using a hardware wallet over the safety benefits though.
Yeah i'm still use MyEtherWallet because i trust they can fix the issue and make we feel safe again.
Ye i still use mew, because im always checking ssl in my browser and i know where im located so no fishing sites can steal money from me.
Earlier I used MEW, but after reading a lot of topics about cases of stealing money from my wallet, I began to think about which way to keep tokens safer. Now I use either MetaMask or Trezor, I think it's very dangerous to enter using a private key!
Still using it as well, if you just pay attention you will be fine, and you would have been fine a few days ago as well if you paid attention to the cert.
