I've got this e-mail too, im sure this is the phishing. Firstly , look at the e-mail sender, looks like really scam. And i don't believe that ethereum developers could make e-mail newsletter, i think they would make official announce on MEW website. How did they get our e-mails? we didn't put them by creating a wallet.

Don't trust those messages. I would just wait it out until there is an official announcement on the their service thread.

What just do not invent scammers so that people themselves will tell them their secret keys. Administration MyEtherWallet has nothing to do with the addresses of wallets and their secret keys. They are generated randomly. Therefore, no update can in any way affect our secret keys to this purse. Therefore, such letters should not be paid attention. Moreover, when creating this purse, we do not leave any information about ourselves and no one can know your e-mail address.
it seems that i also get incoming email about it, but i didnt open that content. I agree with you, if the mew address is generated randomly, and if there is a renewal, there must be a notice on the main wall of MEW

e-mail from MEW?
I use also MEW,  but i can not remind me does i have register with a e-mail adress.

so i think is not a legal e-mail.
I am also using MyEther Wallet but I did not receive any message like this.  Maybe it just part of the agenda of the scammer to threatened MEW users.  So,I think those who receive such email should check first who is the sender of it.  Because if that is legitimate from the MEW team, all members should receive the same advisory but why some of the members do not receive such e-mail.  I smell something fishy from that.

That pishing email, when registered MyEtherWallet account we dont need provide any email address, so that to be sure is pishing email that want to hack your account. Always login from bookmark link is more safe for account, and keep the private key in safe place and becarefull there are alot of scammer in crypto space.

This is just web phishing deliberately created to include our PV on the web, be careful if you find such things because they will take all the assets you have if you give your PV to the web, because this if MEW saves their updates do not will never email us specifically.

Any mails regarding MEW are SCAM. If you see any links to myetherwallet in your mail then it's definitely a phishing link. The only resource you can trust is MEW official twitter. So if you hesitate whether MEW is compromised or not, just visit their twitter page and read the last tweets. And always use Metamask to unlock your wallet.

How come that MEW knows your email address? I don't think I indicated it anywhere on MEW website. So, it is likely to be a scam.

It sounds very much like a phishing attempt. What address/domain was the email sent from? No doubt the form you need to fill in will ask you for your private keys, at which point they will clean out your wallet.
this email come from :
MyEtherWallet <[email protected]>

Ok, more discussion we don't need.
The e-mail adress Show it, it's a fake / phishing e-mail.

I think this grammar is wrong: "Unfortunately, the new computer code for generating private keys is already ready and we will implement it this fall." And using a service mail like Zoho mail is already a red flag right there. Report it as a phishing scam mail.

Hai all, I've got this email today :

What will you see?

Dear MyEtherWallet Member:

In connection with the recent theft of a large amount of ETHERs from users' wallets, we have adopted new security measures. We have done a great work and ready to share with our users!

    update the private key encryption protocol (completed)
    update the site protection against phishing attacks (completed)
    update traffic encryption from third parties (completed)
    transition to a new private key generation system with Secp256k1 on ECDSA (in progress)


HOORAY!

This is a huge success for our team and the entire crypto community. Unfortunately, the new computer code for generating private keys is already ready and we will implement it this fall.

You need to fill out the form and reserve a place for yourself. The form will be open from 16:00 GMT+8 on 30th March, 2018 to 16:00 GMT+8 on 30th September, 2018. Otherwise, you will not be able to activate your account with the old encryption key Secp256k1 from October 1, 2018.

Its a phising, MEW does not email their members or users and They dont hold any of our email addresses.

Its a pure scam. stay away from it. There was no MEW Theft or Hack happened.
