Hello guys , I would like to ask this from more veteran people here if MEW or shall we say myetherwallet.com is safe or not..?
Some of my colleagues said that myetherwallet is not safe because there maybe some intruders with wide and depeest knowledge
When it comes to security bypass could get access of your account at myetherwallet? Please
Help me answer this if mew is safe or not.. Is this a user fault to expose their private key or there is.someone could really
Access our account .. using security bypass? Please thank you.

to my knowledge, myetherwallet.com is very safe because we get a private key to secure the wallet address,
so in my opinion myetherwallet is not safe it is purely their fault in filling out project forms that they follow,
that is, they are asked to fill in the wallet address but they fill in their own private key.

the more sophisticated technology now we cannot surprise that etherwallet will be safe because etherwallet is also able to break down by people who have deeper knowledge, this I have ever found in local treads that someone said that their wallet account was plowed by someone.

I don't have a problem with MEW, so far I am comfortable and trusting.
maybe one of my obstacles is gass. there is an increase but not large.
The most important thing is be careful with fishing.

Today myetherwallet received a transaction, the amount is small, in the chat many say that it is spam, but if your private key was exposed, your tokens will be stolen, what thoughts?

I think myetherwallet is very safe for storing tokens because data such as private keys and passwords are not stored on the MyEtherWallet server. This is what makes MEW so safe, you have complete control over your cryptocurrency because private keys are not shared with others, even with MyEtherWallet.
If your colleague says that myetherwallet is not safe because someone who hacked it seems unlikely because I have never heard of myetherwallet hacked, your friend might lose your personal key and password.

It is very safe to use MEW on almost if not all platforms and I have never had any experience or ever heard from anyone a situation whereby ones MEW destination address is changed by anyone. The only time you may be vulnerable to scammers or hackers is when you expose your private key to the public. That is one good thing about Ether accounts, you are given both public and private key, the private is personal and the public is indeed public use. If you experience difficulty transferring from one platform to the other, it may be a network issues on either one of the sites or even data transmission failure from your ISP. Ensure you check all necessary connections and look out for pop-up messages and blocks from your browser.

My etherwallet for me is a 50/50. It could be safe but then one day it's not. Just do like what others do which I also do which is to use Metamask to make transaction much safe and there's still not a single reports about it getting hacked so try it.

Myetherwallet is safe unless you have given your private key or you have been phished. Always be careful when you enter your credentials because it might not be the correct site. When you receive e-mails from sites, always check if it is the true site because there are many hackers who would send e-mails saying you need to change password because someone is trying to access your account. If you have slack, do not ever open the e-mails saying you need to update your myetherwallet because it is just a phishing site. If possible, bookmark the site you are using so that you don't need to search it in google. Most likely the first one that would appear when you search is an advertisement and a phishing site.

Myetherwallet is the safest Etherum wallet to use in the entire market and it doesn't even save your data or private keys it's all with you and it just lets you connect for a short period of time with the ethereum main net just by typing your private key or uploading your wallet file and once you close the tab of browser your data is erased from the website, but there was a dns problem which hackers took advantage of and stole many people's tokens but that was all people's fault and not due to mew.

Myetherwallet is very much recommendable wallet to the people who use to stock some ERC20 tokens aswell with eth tokens, They are been used by many people around the globe, And the only treat for this is the owner since they are the one who's handling it and if their balance will be hack then the owner will be the one who will blame for the incident since he is the one who's responsible for his own private keys.

In my opinion, users often make a common mistake that is click on the link in the mail leads to fake meew wallet and provide the secret code to the fake person.

yes, phishing its the most popular type of fraud, and you need to check the security of the connection (https) and of course the correct address, so as not to fall for this bait

If you secure your private keys, and it is not exposed, you will always be safe using MEW. Many people here use MEW and get their private key exited and they blame MEW for being unsafe, and the reason is hacked attacks on their wallet. I used MEW for about a year and never had any problems with my token

People who have kept their private key confidential and not sharing with the other people. Those people will be in safe hands always but people who ever joins in the Airdrops without checking the proper information they will give permission to scammers by sharing their private keys with them.

Often the user error has over-trusted the scammers. They find every way to get your code. You should avoid clicking on links to false MEW wallets that have the same interface

There are now many other alternatives you can try. Or you should use the MEW hard wallet and use JSON to access the Mew wallet
