The hacks happen due to the negligence of the security keys getting compromised. Taking some steps to ensure the safety of your security keys would prevent any MEW hacks I think. But if you're still not satisfied you can look into buying a hardware wallet, such as ledger nano and a few other wallets worth looking into. Hopefully that'll help fortifying your security in this situation.
Store your private keys in an encrypted file/password protected.
Then store it in a USB that is also password encrypted.
If you can get a hardware wallet, even better

With the everyday issue on MEW wallets hacking, what are the best ERC-20 wallets that are safe to keep one coins or token?
I have never experienced problems for ERC-20, perhaps the biggest problem is the delay in transactions. and even then rarely, the point is you don't give a private key and protect your computer from phishing attacks

It's a desktop wallet that gives you a lot of possibilities, remember this will become the best way to store your money. that link is really safe and i have used that wallet too. That doesn't require to connect to the internet. you can try to create your wallet in the offline mode.
MEW also have apk for iOS they called MEW Connect. Coming soon for Android version.It's a desktop wallet that gives you a lot of possibilities, remember this will become the best way to store your money. that link is really safe and i have used that wallet too.

Please keep your private key is safe, and access your wallet via metamask, mew connect, and offline wallet. Sign also a good suggestion for keep your data safety
You can save your asset at myetherwallet with use wallet, never use the same wallet when you try joining ico investment or bounty campaign project, you have use fresh or new wallet after finish one ico investment and bounty campaign project.
Suggestions and information are very useful,using offline mode it seems like anticipation is good enough to avoid the crime of hacking accounts that often act. No need to use private keys too. Its fast and secure.
I've been using MEW ever since and didn't bumped into any hacking incident because I always keep my key safe and of course will not let myself be scammed by any phishing sites. Anyways, imtoken is another good wallet, or you can protect much more your new with the help of metamask.
The MEW users are getting hacked most probably clicked on some phishing sites. You have to be very careful about your private keys. I would suggest using a hardware wallet if you want to be safer.
I think that the best thing is to save the tokens in the external wallet. However, not all people can afford it and use it. The online wallet is actually secure if you are careful in saving the private key and using it when online. We must ensure that we log out and save the private key offline so that it will be saer from being hacked.
What is the issue?
I have used MEW and PK for more than a year, it's fine, there is only one MEW account that is hacked, and after I trace it, it is me who is reckless. so i ever fill the google form with private key.
if the wallet issue was true and it happens every day, people will leave myetherwallet for a long time, and people here won't recommend MEW again

No one is hacking MEW wallets. If people are losing money out of their MEW wallets then it is simply because they are either using fake MEW sites or because they are somehow exposing their private keys. Otherwise MEW is just as safe as any other wallet. Of course, if you want full peace of mind then hardware wallets like ledger are your only solution
Yeah, people keep telling that MEW is hacked and more nonsense without realizing that it's not the website that got hacked but the user is getting phished.That's also why MEW and Mycrypto forbid direct log in through privatekey using the website for this main reason.
It seems to me that the most reliable purse for storage of cryptocurrency is ledger nano. It isn't possible to crack it without the USB stick.

I don't believe there is any best ERC 20 wallet out there. Any wallet can be hacked if you loose grip on your own security. If you are careful with your mew, you may never be hacked. 
Nano Ledger S for me is the best wallet whether for ERC20 tokens or not.
Try to explore hardware wallets and you'll see on how they are good in security. Though you may cost some money but trust me its worth it.

I suppose this is the safest way to keep your tokens in spite of "online" wallets, which MEW really isn't - it is merely an interface to access the wallet. But do have a look into so called hardware wallets like TREZOR or Ledger. They are the safest so far at the moment. It's also OK if you print out the private key and keep it in a safe somewhere guarded.

If hacked, it can only be you reveal privatekey or you have been keylogged and have lost your UTC fileMEW is the best now. If you want to be more secure, include your coin and token in a cool wallet.

People keeps telling that its much better to use Metamask, my friends keeps telling mo to use metamask because its easier in website, but in mobile phone i dont actually know.

I think private key it's pretty safe or you can access with Json fiile, but if you want to be more safe you can spend your money to buy nano ledger or trezor. If your access your MEW ini your home i think it will be safe, if you just using prive key, just be carefull about phisiing site.
If you use unknown software frequently or divulge your private key, then no wallet can keep your coins safe! Remember that the best protection comes from your cautious operation!
