Be sure to bookmark your wallet site so you do not run into a phishing site and never and never sign your private key when registering in airdrops. Ideally, the key is printed on paper. For good - use a separate computer only for operations with cryptocurrency. Do not surf on it and do not do anything else.
I'm personally bookmarked all sites about crypto, also I'm using CryptoShield extension in Google Chrome just to not get phished. To access my wallets safely I am using Metamask. But there is nothing compare to hardware wallet, waiting a delivery and then transfer all my funds right there.
I think that the best combination for security of ETH wallet is MEW (or MyCrypto) + Metamask. And I agree that the best way to create so called cold wallets, which you use only for storing some share of your portfolio. And also don't store your keys in a cloud storage, it's better to use a flash drive.
This is for those who use wallets with cheap transaction fee, such as ethereum based wallets.
There are some who cannot yet afford to purchase a hardware wallet. On that note, i have a suggestion on how your wallet can be safe from hackers. I have always noticed wallets that get easily hacked are those that are subject to public view.
Try as much as possible to have a separate cold wallet address that you do not copy and paste the private key, and neither do you share the address with anyone. You can use it to store most of your valuable coins.
Even if you want to transfer any coin or token to an address belonging to another person, first transfer it to your public wallet before sending it out.

most of the hackers use the phishing web to steal our wallet. they send a link to our email or they post / tweet the link with an interesting offer about the prize, and when we click the link is asked to login, the web we click on a cursory like myetherwallet website but actually it is not, stay cautious only https://myetherwallet.com this is the right website. so do not carelessly access your wallet, check the URL before you use it.

Give preference to large stock exchanges, with an average commission. They do not save on data protection and are less susceptible to a quick bench.
Great advice - also this incline-and it is better not to Shine your key , especially when you have to send a lot of where and to whom . And of course, keep your passwords on removable multiple media
Trezor wallet is best wallet for store ETH, BTC and all the etherium base token that are in the ICO. Because they are more safe than web wallet and no need to touch the internet. It is hardware wallet and MyEtherwallet is good wallet but It is not safe store coin.

In my opinion people should use Hardware wallet. By using you can safely store all your assets offline. I also using Ledger nano.
There are several topics and advice related to the topic and it is not a dicifil task to defend themselves against cybernetic invaders based on the simplicity of the question. So avoid putting your addresses in profiles or access links, unknown sites or suspicious campaign, we can keep the antivirus updated and firewall synced, but with both of them not understanding with its maximum efficiency, the possibility of invasion is great mainly in the wallet.

there is only one method to keep your wallet safe. you have to keep your private key safe and moreover identify the webpage where ever you enter your private key because nowadays a new attack is there called phishing attack.
The topic is very relevant, because now there are many hackers who can easily get your keys, passwords and wallets. I agree that it is better to have several wallets for coins, it can confuse the thief. The main thing is not to store them on the desktop of your computer. Use a memory card. And sync with your phone so that in case of something you could immediately find out about the attempt to break and during stop.
I use several wallets. I save the basic funds on the hardware wallet. to enter the reserve I use metamask. I plan to buy a separate laptop for offline transactions
I think that it is enough just not to use private key to enter the wallet and use metamask for any transfers.

If you cant/ dont want to use a hardware wallet, the safest way to store your tokens on MEW is to setup the wallet on a computer that is not connected to the internet (in best case a computer that never has been connected to the internet yet). There are tutorials that can be used to learn how to do this: https://kb.myetherwallet.com/offline/ethereum-cold-storage-with-myetherwallet.html
But on a side note: as soon as it is possible for you, I recommend to switch to a hardware wallet, its way more convenient and even more secure.
