using Online wallet is still has a chance to be hack
even you do that stuff.
because last time MyEtherWallet got hack.
and i think it is better to
read some News and updates about MyEtherwallet too
so that it can be more safer.

Correct it is possible to hack but it is also no possible to hack, because hackers sometimes are rely to the personal information of the users. So if you cannot discuss any important information of you, there's no reasons to worries. But if the system of the wallets are hacked trust to will falling down so fast, because more people will gonna be affected.

myetherwallet (MEW) has put some pro tips that pop up if you are visiting the site for the first time or never Finished reading through the slides to help safeguard our coins from hackers and I think accessing our coins using the private key should be avoided as its easily to be compromised once entered on a wrong address, prefer the the keystore/Json file to access wallet.

MEW is a good wallet for bounty hunters, cause, there, all your tokens can be seen immediately they are distributed. I see it as the best wallet for ICOs. And at most ICOs, they recommend it for all their participants.
Die to the warnings they always give to its users, I will say it's not safe for a large amount of ETH.

Now I’m interested to try myetherwallet and thanks for this tip,, it will help a lot for a new users to enhance they’re knowledge about taking security of its wallet seriously.. Bookmarking the right site would be mandatory as phising sites are normally have the same appearance to the original ones.. I will surely ask for assistance for any technical issue that I will encounter to those using this wallet for long time..

I do not see any users of MEW wallet reported about they met issue using this wallet. If you keep using the correct as myetherwallet.com all the time you would get anyone steal your fund dude. Even when you create the wallet itself they will show the notify the security measures what are all you do for saving the fund MEW wallet.
Many people using this wallet to have the funds of multiple cryptos and good for all erc20 tokens too.

I'm just new to Ethereum so this precaution nor guide is really very important for a starter like me..Thanks!

Great point that needed to follow so that your wallet will not be hack by those damn phisers/hackers but I want to add some things that needed to avoid and that is those Sites who's covering up with good promotions and asking for private key for claiming and other than that is downloading some unknown links which can lead you to be hack due to malware placed.

Do not open unwanted links ain yoir email. now days People Stole aur address from the spreadsheet and spam our email.

Always use Metamask google chrome Plugin to Be safe and while login at myetherwallet.

Ignore some Ico who ask to visit site to transfer the funds.

Recently Eterum Zero come with similar option

This very effective,Well I am using this method for a long time now, I also save a my private key on facebook for back up
but i deleted 5 digits and memorize it, so even my facebook account got hack they still dont know my private key, I also agree that you shouldn't save both of your private key and eth address on one doc/notepad. so there will be no mistake on entering private key. Use the methods for sure your MEW is safe.

What op said in his post is correct and newbies should always remember that and not only on etherdelta but in every accounts that they have where they have their tokens or btc. And also for those local members, better translate everything than be sorry.

do not log in many devices, also wifi network connection disembarang place, can make your device hacked,
but now more often is when registering a bounty we entered incorrectly, instead of the wallet address instead of entering a private key, and do not publish your wallet address on your profile, just need to be careful and do not rush

Yes, users got hack their myetherwallet because of the reasons they mistakenly input the private key instead of ether address. And, that is why security is necessary everytime doing transaction in myetherwallet .

Newbies as usual make mistakes on the tips you have mentioned in this thread and get scammed for their ethereum.
I have visited many threads before where newbies complaining about loss of their ether.
While some get hacked by visiting urls received in their emails which are actually not original links to your ether wallet.
It is compulsory to bookmark waklet link and to revise page address before submitting private keys

I cant still get why there are still people who do easily fall out on giving their private keys or being phished. By just looking at the link myetherwallet.com then you can easily memorize those words on which anytime you do logged in on the wallet you can able to see the difference.The only thing needed for us not to get hacked is be aware and be alert on the things you do encounter.

you have to open your device more carefully once you have to open like that then you want to face more problems like few people get in to hacked it is. your private keys also keep secure because few people try to hack to your private keys and passwords. so you have to maintain some security to your wallet. myether wallet is more secure but it has more accounts so for that reason few times it may hacked so that you have to deal with this carefully.

I do appreciate the effort which is somehow useful among newbies but come to think off those are just really a common sense thing to do for you to protect your own MEW. It would really be a normal thing that those private keys are the most important to access such wallet.Once it would be compromised then chance of getting hacked is 100% which means storing it on the most secure we do think off. Always bookmark the legit site link and even don't stored up your keys on cloud.In my case I do put it on Flashdrive on all of my keys together with other wallets.
