It can't be hack if keep your private key safe if you leak your private key to any one or a phishing site that can be happen there are many fake sites that created look like etherdelta and MeW always check the url and stay updated with their Twitter and bookmark them better to use metamask extension or a hardware wallet
Recently few days i am worried about cybar attack dec 25 i was lost my valuable token.Now i am confused and ask a question in my mind mew can be hack? please give me any suggestion i am afraid now.
I think you should buy a licensed antivirus software. And be careful when visiting phishing sites. Do not click on links on social networking sites. These factors are fraught with the dangers of hackers. They always snoop around our accounts. I own a computer to store my wallet, and I have very little surfing on the web, just to log in to personal accounts and to reputable web sites.
No I don't think it can be hacked, yes it can be hacked but very little chance for that. If you run it offline, then you are more safe but your computer can be hacked then as well 
All it is possible to break open. The main you go to official purse sites and record password to leaflet instead of to computer.
Myetherwallet can be hack many users had been attacked by hackers. Through phishing sites, accidentally you share your own private keys to others. So many history that mew users had been hacked as this why we need to be careful.
Not at all,it is just an interface and doesn't store or save any user details that can be accessed by hackers.Unless you give your private key to some one or mistakenly let someone have access in which case it will be theft but not a hack.
Yeah and to add to that, unless you carelessly visit a phishing website and ended up inputting your private key, then the wallet is gone as well as all the funds in it. Internet is filled with a lot of fraudsters and hackers, so it is always necessary to stay secured, stay alert, bookmark some official pages, and then if possible just look for cold storage to store every asset. Sacrificing few dollars for the safety of your assets should not even be debated.
To protect myself, every time I download a new version of the purse of the ether from github. Source files are always kept in the archive. For translation, I unzip and transfer Ether or Tokens from the local MEW
There is a very good tutorial about how to use MEW offline, you can even create a new ETH wallet offline. Here it is:

If you don't want to be hack. dont search myetherwallet on google because some fishing sites are on the top because they pay google ads to be on top.
It depends on when you give your password to someone else. There is more information about my ownwallet because it does not steal others when you do not have anything else to say.
Which kind of ether wallet do you use? There are varieties of them. If you mean MEW, yes, you can be hacked if you enter a phishing site. Misspelled urls are usually phishing sites so make sure that you double check before entering the url. Aside from this, you can be hacked if someone have access to your private keys. That is pretty much all.
For me it depends on how the user care their private key. There are many hacker in this world. Sometimes there's a situation that you are really careful on your private key but the hacker is already hacked your wallet and you have no idea how they can do that.

its depends on you how to care of your privatekey for your MEW, myetherwallet as i understand hard to hack or open your personal account it bcause the privatekeys are very secured. even the owner of the account if he/she lose their keys have nothing chance to open of their account and all investment are can't transfer or withdraw.
use a hardware wallet and carefully keep the private key or your pass phrase!
You will not risk anything.

If the private key know others for sure they will open your account. So better if you keep it safe in document that no one knows except you. You need to secure your private key to thr dafe place like documents that have password so no one can knows about the private key or password. For sure other people keep their private key to the safe place because they have a lot of tokrns their and if they are not they lose their all tokens.
From day one i am using myetherwallet to protect my tokens, still now i am not facing any issues in this wallet. But there is a lots of chance to hack by scam website. Better you should not leak your private key any of the website. So before use private key research on that and protect your private key. Metamask wallet also is good and safe.
You will lose your ETH/tokens only if you enter your private keys on a phishing site. MEW is just an client-side ETH interface/wallet, it doesn't stores your keys/data on a server. if you want to securely access your ETH then buy a hardware wallet or download MEW and run it locally[1].

Yes it can be hack if you will expose your private keys in internet or others. Some funds stolen are because of phising website and malware virus been injected to the computer. If you are unsure with your wallet, transfer it to a hardware wallet. This move can lessen the risk of getting hack.
Man people talking about hacking blockchain, you are saying my ether wallet can be hacked 
, everything can be hacked, nothing is fully secure, so diversify your every coin to different wallets so that you can't lose all of them.

if hacker just use a filling random private key or you click any malicious link and redirected to fake MEW site, of course it have a big chance that your key will be stolen or if you give a wrong paste code in filling on form
something like you wanna paste your wallet address, but you've just paste your private key of your wallet.
That was a big mistake
