MEW is safe but more than MEW you need to think about the device you use for connecting MEW

i think so, if we true website link, and no enter fake link, MEW always safe to used. if we on focus link, not in hurry so we can spared from hacker.
sometime hacker sending fake link from email inbox, so we must alway be carefull at there

MyEtherWallet was always safe to use as long as you take sensible precautions with a strong password, make sure you are on the website with the Green Security MYETHERWALLET LLC (US) and never click on other people's links to open it.

When you use MEW with Metamask, MEW does not have any chances to steal your private keys.

Yes.My Ether wallet is safe and cant be hacked because they not hold your private key but you must protect your private key away from trojen,caplock,screen stealer, free (public) wifi. When another person have your private key mean you lost all your Ether and token. Keep it safe

I really don't know why people are scared about MEW, MEW is one of the best site to use when it comes to ERC 20 and Etherium, If your scared try to use Coinbase.

I honestly don't think that MEW can be hacked unless you were tricked by a phishing site or a newbie who was "required" by a website to enter private key for some "automation" process. You need to know how important it is to safeguard our private keys no matter what.

I treat my private key like its millions of dollars, so I make sure I'll never show it to others (even my family, best friend, etc.).

MEW has always been safe to use, whatever split that may or may not happen should never affect this. If it did, it would ruin both reputations of either side of the split. Just as with any crypto project, if differences happen, as they often do, the users should not be the ones to suffer. Same as with what happened with the splits in ETH, the splits in Bitcoin. People go different ways, that's all. Nothing to endanger MEW itself, so don't worry.

Recently there was a split between the team behind MEW and a new paper wallet site opened up. Is MEW still safe to use with a Ledger?

the ledger should always put you on the safe side. There was study about as so called man in the middle attack but for me the leger definitely safer than just using private key

Thanks for posting this, I was also thinking same today. Many coins are there and not sure is it safe to keep them after recent dispute like other party got twitter handle etc.

Yes they are not sure if that is good because they dont get research is better to make research to know anything so that they will know what is the better.

If you want to know if MEW is safe you need to make research, if the MEW is good to use to make people safe.

I guess its fine using Ledger as long we use third party apps to access the MEW. It is not safe when our access to MEW only by entering private key. Mostly we got hacked if we enter phising site.

It mostly is safe to use, but just use it at your own risk, one of the best ways to store your coins would be to buy ledger and store it that way, it would be much more efficient and safer

Do you mean 12th of February news? Well, I think one should think twice before transferring money to this new mycrypto.com, but I am sure that mew is still as safe as it ever was. They probably just disagreed on future innovations and stuff, so now their ways split.
And I agree with others who say that using ledger is even safer, since your funds won't be stolen even if others would. Keep calm, it's going to be fine. Others just have to be attentive not to type in their private keys into a good copy of mew.

MEW is still safe even there's a split between the team. The only thing that we have to be aware of are the phishing websites that are copying MEW. And with ledger, do you mean ledger nano s? They are both safe and I've been using both of it.

from the first I know ETH and some token ICO based on smart contract from Ethereum I prefer to store it in MyEtherwallet rather than save it in ledger or other place and I think MEW is still very safe it all depends on you how to open wallet at MEW for more safe you should use the json file provided from the MEW to be more secure when opening your wallet.

I think myetherwallet is not safe as of this time because a lot of accounts are being manipulated by hackers, phishings is already there in fact many of phishing websites are registered over the advisory to be aware of most users in accessing wallets. To be safe in accessing website please ensure that the words that you type is correct and legit.

Well if you are using a ledger, I don't see why you should be at risk even in the case of MEW being compromised.
