I think that many of us have seen this so far since many news sources, people on social media such as reddit, twitter, here and on other sources have given us this information. You can always use MEW if you run it through source code since then you are sure everything works according to plan and as long as APIs working with other websites you should be good. I suggest to all of you to download from their official github account the source code while using it. Sadly some people lost their money for not double checking.

Yeah I think everyone should avoid using Myetherwallet at the moment to avoid someone stealing your tokens. And it's advisable you get a hardware wallet instead

CoinMetro - the future of exchanges
MyEtherWallet is only an interface to interact with the blockchain,
and currently it seems like it's re routing to a phishing site? which means it steals your private key.

a hardware wallet never shares your private key, however, a fake site still could edit the receive address.. so be careful regardless.
check that the certificate(green lock in URL bar) is green!

You can also download MEW and run locally!

If I'm not mistaken  the official Twitter myetherwallet wrote that now everything is fine, but one should be very careful at all, because hackers are always coming up with something new

A hardware purse does not give 100% security to your coins. But to reduce risks in full is probably worth about $ 100. And if there is a second computer, it's best to use it only for MEW

Apparently site is running normal now. Problem started with Google/Amazon DNS service getting hacked and hackers linked MEW's website to phishing site. I hope none of us lost funds there.

If, honestly, it is rather frightening for the safety of its own funds, most likely you need to buy a hardware wallet and only then everything will be less safe.

Normally what I would always suggest is never to use your private key directly due to phishing attacks or your own system exposed to some sort of malware. If you cannot use a hardware wallet, metamask is a very good option as it makes you connect to MEW easily without the use of your private keys.

I still made a transaction today to transfer COSS tokens from MEW, connected via metamask and it got transferred effortlessly.

I think it is better if you don't use the wallet at all until it is fix by the developers because if you transfer it or open it, the hacker could intercept your transaction and it will go to their wallet instead of going to your hardware wallet.
