I heard that this wallet was attacked by hackers. I was very upset. Previously it seemed to me that this is a very reliable wallet. Beginners should be careful now.
Classical attack. Not MEW is guilty. Any company can be hijacked such. But MEW is very popular and hacker choose the excellent goal for substitution

Safe or not will depend on us. It is our job to make our own account safer. MEW is still the best for me.
If you are not using Google DNS than its safe for you. But also you can use mycrypto.com its now more safe then myetherwallet.
DNS servers are hijacked soo you cannot be sure when its safe to use mew again. (You must check certificate to be sure that you are using real mew)

Nope, but the reason is completely different and that is those using Google's dns servers might get hacked if they visited the myetherwallet website. This is one of the issues of web wallets, that one is always at risk of getting hacked and losing all his coins due to no reason of his. For now I will say to stay away from MEW.
Just did a fee transaction and everything looks fina as usual. As long as the private key is safe!
when login try only use json file do not use private key because login using json file is more secure than using private key. I think MEW is very safe for me to use as long as you can be careful when using it and do not forget to bookmark link MEW
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?
I think MEW is still safe, but a valid alternative could be Metamask , probably better than MEW.
Try it !
Im keeping my coin on hardware wallets Trezor and Ledger nano S but for Ico token Im using MyEtherWallet and Im fully satisfied with its safety.Just try to avoid fishing sites.
I can not say anything about the security of MEW yet, but I've never noticed anything wrong with the safety of this wonderful wallet, I think that you should just be more attentive to some details, for example, to exactly where you go to the right site you have come.

I always keep tokens based on smart contract ethereum more often using MEW than others because in my opinion I have been using MEW still safe.

It should be safe to use Mew with ledger since ledger don’t disclose your private key to the browser. However, always check whether you are on the real Mew website as there are too many phishing websites around.
As long as you don't lose the private key, i think it's secure because MEW have a good encrypted method. Usually hacker just attack in exchanger wallet, not in wallet with private key method. So don't worry to using MEW.
It is still safe to use MEW, but you should store you Ethereum and tokens on a Trezor or a Ledger Nano S to secure your invests. I used Myetherwallet the last 2 weeks and I dont had any problems.
My personal opinion is that MEW is still safe to use right now. We just need to be very careful of our private keys so that it will not be hacked or anything so I suggest to put your keys safe on a sheet of paper rather than online.
I am warning to replace security with metamask, I do not understand whether private key can be hacked.
I do not even get any explanation. I am using a private key to access my wallet and I feel safe.
give any suggestion

Hi,
If you're importing a private-key to MetaMask it'll ask you to create a password.
This means MetaMask uses an encrypted version of your private-key which requires a password for usage ('keystore-file') - however be careful as your private-key (you just imported) will still remain usable and is unencrypted and everyone who got it can just access your wallet without any password etc (same for your recovery-phrase).
I still keep the password and private key securely.
i use mew normal and i think it is safe,you can use metamask,it is very safe to use,if you have many eth you can use blockchain,and use protect 2 times by authy,it is very good
In my opinion the only way of storing bigger amounts of ETH etc. is a hardware-wallet.
By that time you posted this there was speculation on safety but today it is completely safe with any way of entries to MEW.
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/.

Myetherwallet has always been safe, and I've never had a problem with the eth and erc20 tokens on this site.
