As of now MEW is still safe to use but to be more secured and stay safe use the offline version of MEW or you can start using Metamask. Always stay safe guys.

Myetherwallet is safe from the past. But for absolute security, do not expose your private key outside. Use a third party to log on.

Its pretty safe wallet but the only problem is ,its a website wallet, means very prone to phishing. If you are not vigilant enough to check  the website before login then you may easily login to a phishing site and all your assets inside will gone. So, to make it safer, add the MEW website to your bookmark in the browser. Another very important is do not click any links in your email from scammers pretending that they are from MEW team asked you to click the link for the update or else all your coins inside, dont believe that because , ever-since, the MEW support team never ever send a message in email with the link of the MEW website.

yes i think my etherwallet  having security for users.it provides private key which is very important. when private key is hacked by someone then it is unsafe to use.

I think It is safe, I have been using it for long without any problem, but it would be safer if you use keystone file to login instead of private key.

I also still trust and use MEW. The main thing is to keep the private key safe, and each time you look at the address string of the wallet that you use, because scammers are everywhere.

Now the MEW wallet is safe. The main thing is to safely store your private key from your wallet and do not go to the phishing website. And then everything will be fine with your coins.

MEW is pretty much safe. Just make sure that you get a hardware wallet and then use it with conjunction with MEW. Hardware wallet keeps the pvt keys within itself and hence they cannot be stolen even in case of phishing attempts of in case your computer gets hacked.

This is one of the safest ways to protect data. I do not resort to this, because the private key, file and the code word is also sufficient to protect resources.

Don't forget that MyEtherWallet is an interface and not a website with storage.
There is no database and no server to store anything so, technicaly speaking, myetherwallet can't be the root cause of an issue.

You can be hacked by phishing or any human issue anywaw

Thanks for technical explanation. It's very useful for me because I really didn't know that fact.
I also think that even if MEW had storage and databases wallets could be hacked mostly because of users carelessness.

Mew is always been safe. It's the users fault if there wallet is comprised because there online activities are not secured. Always bookmarks mew in your browser and always keep your private key secured and don't lost it.

My ether wallet is still safe to use. There is no issue in myetherwallet as long as you keep your account secured. Check the real website of myetherwallet and be sure you are opening your account with cautions.
