Topic: My Ether Wallet hacking (Read 833 times)
I used MEW for all ERC20 tokens and never had a problem, of losing tokens or being hacked. But i also think now if possible for all people who use ETH and ERC20 tokens, to get a hardware wallet (ledger nano or trezor) to be more safe. I also want to move some tokens this month to ETH address on hardware wallet to be 99% safe side.
MyEtherWallet actually a very good wallet for storing ethereum and tokens at its base. If you store your keys correctly, then hacking can be avoided. Keep your keys safe on external media and never pass them on to other people, otherwise you will not be able to restore access to your wallet.
To prevent your wallet from being hacked, you don’t just need to shine your wallet key, but these are very frequent phenomena.
With the everyday issue on MEW wallets hacking, what are the best ERC-20 wallets that are safe to keep one coins or token?
Maybe because of their careless in their private key that is why there are some Myetherwallet got hacked.
Just be careful in your private key save if it in the computer that are not connected in the internet and never import your wallet in the decentralize exchange use the secondary security to secure your wallet.
I don't recommend software-based wallets because users can make mistakes. I would recommend using a hardware-based wallet at reasonable prices
in my opinion the MEW wallet is still very safe, but you have to be really careful to save the private key, if you use a hardware wallet, it's not free and you have to buy it
It is safe if you are responsible user and you are aware of security measures.Having a hardware wallet is worth it.
This may cost some money but its all worth for the security of your money.
I am going to stick to meta mask for the meantime. If you are not living in remote areas where getting the latest nano s, then it is the best I can say to keep all your coins on. As for exchanges, I do not keep huge sums of money there.
If you keep your private key there is no chance to hack you MEW because private key is one of your security not to hack your MEW. From the start when I use MEW I never encountered that they hack my account because I always kept and no one can know my private key so that they didn't have it. You need to secure and no one can know you private key for you to protect you MEW and your coins.
You can still use mytherewallet for all your transaction, all you need to do is to is to use metamask to connect your account on the mew, I have been using this form before

What mew hacks you are talking about? I don't think your mew can be hacked unless you expose your private key to a phishing website or your pc gets infected by a malware. With the everyday issue on MEW wallets hacking, what are the best ERC-20 wallets that are safe to keep one coins or token?
Everyday issue? I would like to know on where you have able to read up these kind of info about MEW hacking incident on daily basis?Just to say that not only MEW is prone to wallet hacking but on all types of wallet is prone to be compromised and also they do only have the
same thing should really be kept which is the "Private Key" or any other information that can be used to access one's wallet. Hacking will really be hard
if you are just responsible on keeping these information safe away from others awareness then you would really be completely fine.
There are really a lot of hacking events that happened on MEW I think Metamask is the most safer wallet for me because it's not only a simple wallet it will going to prevent your from some website that has a malicious content.

Just get a ledger nano, it really is the best.
It's a bit expensive, it's a bit over $100, but they are reliable, and secure.
There is an ethereum wallet in it, so it holds all of your erc20 tokens.
You use mew to access them, but it is entirely secure because your keys are stored on the actual device.
Also, there are wallets for neo, waves, ripple, and of course btc and all of it's forks.
As far as security goes, it can't be beat (except for a paper wallet).
Think of this, in order for someone to steal your stuff, they would have to get their hands on your device and your keys, and pin.
That is incredibly hard to do.
People don't break into other people's home to steal their crypto.
They will jsut steal your money lol.

I am not familiar with MEW hack, maybe you confused it with phishing sites which use similar domain name and when you enter your private key they see it and then they steal funds.Using it for few years, so far no problem with it.
in fact, this is a big problem today. There are a huge number of wallets and all guarantee safety, but in reality this is not at all the case. so keep money in different wallets
It is good also to keep them separately but to be sure that you have keep their respective keys also. Due to a lot of scamming sites similar to the legit one, we cant actually neglect some instances that some individuals have accidentally visited and access their wallet. And it is sad that they lost everything inside their wallet.
Unfortunately I do not know which of the wallets can be called the best. But indeed the last time often read about how, that someone has been broken into. I don't like it. That's why I don't keep money in my wallet. I try to work with money quickly. Got - exchange - Traded - Introduced.

Of course, when working with wallets requires some caution. There are many who want to get your private key in any way possible. Try not to shine anywhere. When working with MEW, I use Metamask and it fully suits me.
