What the hell is going on? Too often they cracked MEW. I'm starting to worry about my tokens.

Too often? Honestly, it is the first time when I hear about some problems with myetherwallet. Of course, I don't take into account those situations when users just enter their key on a phishing website due to their own unattentivenes - it is by no means a MEW's ploblem.
Actually, current situation is also not a MEW's problem - though it isn't so obvious for most of us - it is a problem with DNS, as was explained above.

It seems that someone has successfully hacked MyEtherWallet and has stolen some people’s tokens. Mine seem to be fine for now.

Has anyone lost any Etherium or tokens and does anyone know how the hack was perpetrated?

This is potentially a major security risk because we all know that keeping coins on an exchange is a high risk. Now using MyEtherWallet may also be risky.

Hopefully it's not true. Recently, I have been reading lots of articles and claims that myetherwallet is not safe anymore, and that many hackers have cracked how you invade and steal coins that are held in e-wallet sponsored by it. However, I think that it is still one of the best wallet around to hold coins, I still have not seen any reliable and true accounts of hacked myetherwallets except those that have been scammed or victimized through shady enrollments like scam airdrops. Thus, I would still believe that the people behind this wallet would do something to safeguard the coins of the many people using it.

This is why you should be using a hardware wallet.

I think that the trezor or nano s will solve all the problems with access to the wallets of the most common cryptocurrencies and erc-20 tokens.

This is why i'd recommend a hardware wallet always. can never be too safe.

It seeds that everything is now back to normal, BUT PLEASE STAY SAFE and read/share this guide: https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/security/myetherwallet-protips-how-not-to-get-scammed-during-ico.html

I recommend reading this article.

After all this, I'd definitely recommend a hardware wallet just in case

The Future of Security Tokens

Recently, the hacking of this wallet has increased. How to save your cryptocurrency now? Using hardware wallets also does not save you from breaking into DNS and switching to phishing sites. Who thinks anything about this, how to secure their ethers and ERC-20 tokens? Huh

It was hacked indeed,the DNS server from google was hijacked by those pro hackers who managed to redirect users from legit myetherwallet.com to their phishing site,which is why those people who have logged in their wallets with their private keys are hacked because these hackers did a perfect timing ,to have those ethereums.

How many times have we read on the forum about hacking wallets ... Why do not people use security rules? Even Metamask is safer, in my opinion ... And it's better to buy a hardware purse once and safely store tokens, do not enter private keys!

This simply could not be, to might have broken into. Probably got on some website which is similar or go in a purse in the wrong place or someone spied on.

The DNS server was hacked indeed,but it was fixed by the team behind myetherwallet as soon as the issue occured,all of the DNS are fixed and should be working properly clearly that hackers are good because they wont get those DNS if they are amature hackers.It seems they have stolen millions of dollars of ethereum from different people.

Well, it was very unfortunate for the people who lost their funds. Last time I checked the hacker managed to get around 216 ETH and maybe the number is more now but everyone is made aware which is good to know.

I almost become a victim of the hack, when I tried to use the wallet yesterday when I noticed the way the site was performing then I changed to mycrypto.com, I have said before that the main threat to the space is hacker not the governments that people keep talking about, the of hacks now is very sophisticated

I've read that those who use myetherwallet with Metamask weren't concerned by this hack.
Isn't it majority of MEW users that use Metamask?

I do not have complete information on the hack, but I heard that it involved DNS. Now I hear you that exchanges are very risky, but lately with all the hacks I am not sure, as you hear more people's wallet getting hacked than exchange accounts.
