The first thing everyone see when open https://www.myetherwallet.com/ is in red: 1. BOOKMARK MYETHERWALLET.COM      2. INSTALL EAL or MetaMask or Cryptonite
I think you should blame no one but yourself, for that.

yes, dude, you are phished, if you notice the URL you mentioned for myetherwallet, there is a dot(.) above 'e' & below 'a'. I have installed EtherAddressLookup (EAL), Cryptonite & Metamask chrome extensions to block phishing sites, but I think this fake website is not still analyzed by any of these chrome extensions because I visited this fake website and not a single extension blocked them.  Shocked So it is highly recommended never click a random link that directs to myetherwallet neither search via google to visit. Just bookmark the official website and only visit through that. I reported this fake URL to myetherwallet & metamask on twitter, so their extension can block it.

Sorry to hear you lost your ETH. You need to be more careful. Bookmark any sites that may hold your funds such as MEW and exchanges. As Crypto attracts more and more people, unfortunately the amount of people looking to scam will increase.

1.Bookmark https://www.myetherwallet.com once and forever. Don't go to the site using link any other than your bookmark.
2.Use EtherAddressLookup extention.
3.Don't use private key or keystore file to open your wallet. Always use Metamask extention.

You'll be perfectly safe.  Smiley

It is so sad to hear that you are not aware of the websites you visit and just randomly throwing out private keys in the phishing website. You are solely the one who is responsible for losing of your funds. It is clear that, MEW has too much of phishing sites to steal the funds of users. You should have double checked your url before entering your private key. The site has clearly said to bookmark https://www.myetherwallet.com/ and you would be seeing a MEW security in green near your address bar.

Before entering a private key in a website you should have atleast used metamask, so that it could have offered some help. At least from now on, try to be aware of phishing sites and real sites and try to use a ledger in the future.

Someone already got scammed the same way as you did this week...
It is important that you look very carefully where you are on the internet before doing an action.
Make a search if you have a doubt.
It is easy to be scammed.
