Topic: Is MEW Safe to use now? - page 13. (Read 1220 times)
You can download its source code and run it by yourself if you don't trust the MEW wallet. But I would say MEW is still pretty safe but one can never be sure about the web wallets.
MEW is safe because I trust it in storing my tokens.
Until now I don't see or hear any reports that there is a problem with their accounts aside from people
who are not careful with their private key and they become victim of phishing sites.

I'd think still safe despite the recent split and bad blood over the twitter account. I mean they would kinda be the prime suspects if something where to happen so soon after.
If you do not enter phishing sites, nothing happens unless you write your private key in one place. You are completely safe.
From time to time you can also get a new wallet address and change your wallet

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?
This is also my concern. As a matter of fact, a recent post from the twitter account of myetherwallet goes like this:
"Another phishing attempt, this was targeting our #MEWForce. They are already aware what to do with these emails. Are you?"
I hope they will get themselves together and address this as soon as possible. This should be treated urgently because a huge amount of holdings are at stake here. They should treat everything seriously considering that their track record is not as clean as it should be. I hope they will not just sit down on this highly troubling concern.
if you have an investment of over $ 10,000, I think the safest thing to do is to buy a hardware wallet.(ledger, trezor)
MEW is safe as long as you keep your computer safe. Usually when I'm reading about hacker attacks always there is a problem with the victim's computer which was compromised. Some of them use it for gaming torrents and exchanges. Another one had all his coins in one app and used his phone in open WIFI.
What I want to say is that we must be very careful, if you can't have a 2nd PC just for transactions, buy a hardware wallet or use paper wallets, but don't blame MEW or other wallets.

mew is a safe wallet. but you should always check the URL address for the possible phising site. Just be always be careful entering on your private key.
Yes, if there is no hardware wallet to fall back on, it is always best to communicate with MEW via MetaMask.

yes, I always using on MEW and it safe.
before you access on MEW, it is better to check URL before your login to your an account.

Yes, it should be safe to use at both MEW and MyCrypto.com
yeah. it was safe. just keep your private key and don't open it in a computer cafe. Also, open it on your personal computer or laptop and be vigilant.
Didn't hear this news so thank you OP for opening a thread. I've heard about MEW being hacked or something in the past few months but it still working fine now so I guess it is still safe to use or else social media such as Facebook and Twitter will be on fire now because of a hacked MEW. There's plenty of coins there and most of my airdrops are there too. Thinking about this makes me think that I should buy an offline wallet very soon to secure all my coins.
I also have token in my mew, actually I am thinking before if it is really safe if i stay my token in my wallet but I don't have Ledger now so I can not transfer my token in offline wallet, so for now I still keep my token mew and always think that it is safe as long as I never share my privatre key in any one.

I believe myetherwallet is still safe. because for my 2 months of using it, I don't encountered any issues / bugged / loss of tokens / coins. So it was safe for me. 
Yes it's safe again although it's never been truly safe. MEW was forked, apparently websites can fork too and they have a competitor now, I still prefer MEW. But there's much safer ways like Metamask and other wallets. MEW is really easy though and it's great that it exists, just make sure you are on the right url.
Ofcourse it's still safe to use MEW using ledger actually they split but they are still aiming the same i've just look at mycrypto website and haven't used it but i feel im in the MEW website too

Of course its safe . Both developers team declare they will work hard to make their wallet better then competitors have . I'm using mew for a long time and have no problems with it and I can't imagine that mew becoming a scam .... This will lead to a terrible aftermath .
I think it is a common question for maximum people. I am also confuse about this issue. Last month my wallet hacked by hacker. Now I am using MetaMask. It is very safe. Now I hope my MEW is safe from hacker.
Yes, MEW is as safe as always have been. You still have to be very careful with your private key. I would recommend to use MetaMask and bookmark https://www.myetherwallet.com/.
MEW is always really been safe.The risk do really depends on users discretion when it comes on keeping his keys safe for other people not to be able to hack or stole tokens inside it. Even metamask is already available I do still prefer mew on using storing my tokens.Just be responsible towards security of such wallet because no matter which wallet you do use if you are careless on your private keys it would be still the same story.
