Etherwallet is safe because it is similar to bitcoin wallet.
The chances of it being hack is very small due to its changing address.

but why someone hack my wallet,i don't give private key to another person.

Hi all,

I need to move from Mist which is a complete pile of garbage (syncing nightmares that cannot be resolved in any way including using LITE client). I don't understand how the community can feel comfortable about uploading a keystore file then entering a password to decrypt the private key on MyEtherWaller.com. Or are we talking about using the local version here only?

1.) You uploaded a file, how do you know it's not saved for all posterity?
2.) How can we be sure a rogue/under duress developer doesn't modify the code to send all uploads to a special account somewhere?
3.) How do we know that password we entered isn't saved in the same way too.

Please tell me I'm missing something! Thanks

It is very safe compared to trading sites. I have used it many times and I can say it is very reliable. It's very confusing at the start but you'll get it in a few days and always don't forget to bookmark the site.

I use mew and I dont have yet token or money in there but I knew that mew is secured for me unless you share your private key its not secured anymore and safe and you keep it in private that your only one know it. its secured for you dont share the private key if you dont want to lose everything in your mew and mew is your life.

If you store your Private Key Safely
you wont have any worries.
because even the MEW site don't even store your private key.
so MEW is Safe for me

MEW is the most safest wallet of ethereum, but if you can't used it properly, your earnings will possibly disappear like bubble. To assure the security of MYETHER wallet it's better if you change your wallet pin every 2-3 months or else used alphanumeric plus special character in the password.

This are the best way to secured the wallet of myether together with the other crypto currency wallet.

Quick question on MEW security. When you use it to log in to your wallet you have to use your JSON file and password. If someone hacked their domain and changed the code so these were transmitted, is there a risk of losing control of your wallet? Does the HTTPS certificate guarantee it hasn't been hacked? Or just that you're on the right website? I know people say private key isn't transmitted, but if someone took control of the domain, or a malicious developer for MEW injected some code, is there a chance it could be hacked and keys could be stolen? Are we trusting the website to be fully secure and no malicious actions from devs ever to take place?

Excuse me but how is myetherwallet at risk of hacking?
They don't store your private keys. If someone hack MEW they can't get your private keys.

Quote from: Pandu Gleen on November 29, 2017, 01:35:11 PM

do not let anyone else know our privatkey because if there is someone else or we accidentally share it forum then it could be our wallet will be vulnerable from hacking

You are wrong, if you share your private keys no one has to be hacker to take your funds - it is like leaving your money in public place - if someone take money it is not stealing because you left it there.

then from that we must be careful that the contents in our wallet remain well stored.

If that happen you have to stop using that wallet, careful isn't correct word.

I think it's safe, as long as we keep the private key well, because only we own and know it, developers can not control their keys with our account.

MEW is a safe and better ETH wallet and also ERC20 tokens wallet.

I like the way on how we can have an easy access on MEW. I haven't seen a wallet that is like that, lite weight and fast in accessing.

Others do have email authentication though it's needed but sometimes it makes me feel lazy to confirm it, choosing your own way of accessing is really convenient.

myetherwallet is safe if you hold your private key somewhere that you're the only one to to know where you could hide it either online or offline,
i never heard someone got hacked their etherwallet but rather just losing the private key is the problem they mostly experienced,
The chances of it being hack is very small due to its changing address.

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.

I would not safe it is 100% safe because 2 of my friends are been scammed and emptied their wallet.
If i rate mew according on my experience as of now I would rate it 78% safe... It is because i dont seen any problem on my wallet right now.. Being scammed is maybe because of our own fault of wrongful and carelessly using of our private keys. We users of mew should keep our private keys in safe because we are responsible for our own security.

Yes mew is safe as long as your private keys are keep in safe
I would not say that there is zero chance of being scammed on using mew
As my experience on using mew i would say that
Most of wallets that are been scammed and been empty are because of wrongful use of private keys
An example of it is
-for some reasons there are campaigns such as airdrop, Facebook, Twitter and etc campaign that requires to fill up some of information about you, and by these most of users specially beginners are mis understand the form and put thier private keys on eth address section
- the other one is when you log in your private key on some pishing sites... It is a site that are a repleca/ mimic of myetherwallet owned and created by scammers
-and the wrongful exposing your private keys in some sort of social media

I use myetherwallet and so far i don't have any issue with that. It is secure unless you give your private key they will access your wallet and steal your tokens. I encountered an issue of phishing,they sent me a spam messege they say someone is accessing my wallet and i need to secure by clicking the link but i did not click it because my friend told me that's a scam. It is safe you just need to check and check and check everything.

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.

For me, Myetherwallet is 99 percent secure. It's from the user why their account was hack or why others access their account. First, because of human error, mistake or fault. We sometimes misinterpret the difference between private key to ether address. Because of our COPY-PASTE attitude we sometimes accidentally paste and post private key without noticing it.

You have always to check, if the url you typed in, is the right one. There are a lot phishing sites around. Best thing you can do is, to make a bookmark of the real site (and only use this bookmark). Never follow links to MEW from mails, chats, other websites, etc. If you do this, I think that MEW is safe to use.
