No it can't be hacked coz it doesn't keep the private key and Json file in their database , so even if it hacked , hackers don't have your key , but you could trapped by phishing websites, you need to check the address on address bar carefully and bookmark it , recently same domain websites with a little different of one or two characters have increased a lot for phishing .
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.
Yes your MEW is hackable. Maybe you were hacked because you gave your private keys accidentally to someone or you joined some airdrops which are obviously a SCAM because they are asking for your private keys. Your Private Key is your only access to MEW so others cannot hack it if they don't know your Private Key. Be extra careful next time.
I think every wallet possess the risk of being hacked, and if it being hacked its mainly because our own fault that letting people to access our own private key, there are lots of stories about people losing money in MEW since there are no 2nd protection protocol in there. I lost $80k worth of tokens last month without even i noticing that my token was being transferred, suspected that my computer was being ratted and the private key was stolen. I blame myself for the negligent and its better to write your private key in a piece of paper or store it somewhere offline. You never know if you're already being hacked or not.

Every wallet can be hacked but mostly because the owner doesn't care about their wallet. They never fix their attitude about how to protect their wallet. Such as, they click link into MEW with out check the address correctly, use another device or network to open their wallet, last one is their data really stolen from their pc/ laptop. This is modern technology and everything could happen just do what is necessary to protect your wallet. Good luck with you.
Because we're now in the era in everything is possible and hackers always think ahead of us. So the least we can do here is being cautious in everything we do and don't use private keys instead use metamask for logging in MEW. We're all responsible and be mindful in everything.
I would suggest use secure connection with Firewall and Computer without any bugs. Keep swiping the computer for malware. Login only when necessary, Keep track of tokens using etherscan or some other services.
Never share password/Public keys with anyone or keep the backup encrypted. Best way is to write it down and store it somewhere safe.
Do this and you are less likely to loose your coins.

As a senior member of our forum you may already know how to keep your funds safely.My ether wallet cannot be hacked because it needs private key access and it also impossible to find the codes too but the scammers are using the phishing links which can copy your private key and then all your funds will be stolen so keep your system offline when it is not needed and nevere store your private key in the system itself.
And also many fake websites are also created as myetherewallet website so it is better to bookmark the official website then access it from there.
Etherwallet can be hacked or scammed if the user give his private key to other people or he/she accidentally sign up the private key of his wallet to scammed forms.
this is indeed the most common mistake many users have. Therefore, it is necessary to approach very carefully the filling of different forms and take very seriously the preservation of your personal data and keys. But it still depends on the resources that the etherium purse provides.

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.
yes, MEW could have been hacked and everything on the internet could be hacked, we have to be careful that it does not happen.
make sure your data is safe, you do not share data like private key to others, and make sure your computer is also safe from viruses

Your ether wallet can only be hack if you click some fishing which has a similarity on mew, but if you are cautious for sure your not going to be hack. Just the only thing I know which is really safe was MEW and shafeshift.io
Just make sure the URL of the site correct before you provide your login details to the site then you're safe otherwise you may leak out your login details to hackers. The suggestion is you bookmark the correct URL and after that, you use the same URL to access your account. Also, try to install good original antivirus software on your PC to protect from various attacks.
To not easily hacked, do not too often post every income we have and do not click any links that we do not know
