As long as if you don't share your private keys with others then it always safe. I am using it on daily basis and I never faced any problems in terms of transaction and securities. Better check twice before clicking the exact link to the website.

i agree, and stay away from phising sites , always use bookmark so you will not be mistaken on others site, and don't save both your private key and address on one notepad or doc .

Exactly, before clicking any link or website better check twice about it because there are many phishing websites they will steal your information. So any ICO any exchange will never ask your private keys, so be careful with the people who will ask for private keys.

Agree just read also the guide before creating wallet, because sometimes due to wrong procedures that's why they were experience some problems. But still I believe to the credibility of this coin because until now, more users using this wallet. Other than that Myetherwallet was already build a large reputation to many users that's results of good impression to many people.

Only dumb person would only give his privatekeys into anybody on the web which since from the start we are already being cautioned by the site itself to keep those keys as secure as possible that no one would able to know on where it is placed or should not really be compromised.Once being known or accessed by someone then 100% sure you would really be got hacked. MEW is safe but the total safety would really depend into users negligence.

Yes. I think MEW is the safest place to keep the coin I know. I have not heard any information about MEW hack or any reason. This is a safe place for us

in a weeks ago, I heard about several accounts in mew that got hacked but I don't think that it's from the user mistake because I read that there is a hole from the mew site and it's been used by the hacker to steal the coins. I always suggest to my friends to not save the coins in the mew if the tokens are already released on the market and it is better to save the coins in the market but we need to make sure that our account in that market is safe too.

It is safe as long as you don't get phished and someone would be able to access your wallet. Always be careful when accessing site because scammers are copying the interface of the site so you would think that it is the legit site. They would copy the URL and replace one special character with a difference of just one dot below a letter or adding one letter that is not immediately noticeable. If you do not check the URL then there would be a possibility of being phished.

Do not click any e-mails coming from myetherwallet because you didn't give them your e-mail address when you created the wallet. There is a higher possibility that it is just from a scammer/phisher. If you received an e-mail stating to upgrade your wallet then don't fall for it. For those people who are saying that their wallet have been hacked, more likely they access a site and freely provide the scammers the private key resulting to losing their coins.

Tokens that was put on myetherwallet are safe,the security of the wallet is depends on the user how secure he is in keeping his private keys and aware of those phishing links.

absolute safety. an ETH store and great erc20 alerts. So far, no one has been accused of stealing and stealing

IN MEW team there's none but sadly there are users who became a victim of MEW-like websites that got their private keys and later on stole their real balance on the real MEW website. Overall MEW is safe but all wallets are in risk if the user isn't aware of the possibility that he can be a victim of such modus that can stole his identity mostly with the important ones like private keys. That's why when logging in to MEW its also a good one to keep your JSON file's.

I've used it for like 1Year and more, i can say that it is a real good Website (Or maybe Tool) - Not sure what i can classified MEW as lel

Back to the point, the keystore/JSON way of access is just awesomely good
The website UI is user friendly, everything is guided on the site

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.

yes myetherwallet.com is safe if you know how to use / manipulate it. Because sometimes other users mistakenly send or post their private key instead of wallet address. Then they're telling that it was hacked or hijacked.
And as base on my experience always create new wallet everytime you participate on different bounties or airdrop. But of course always take note of your previous private key. So that time my come you can access it anytime.

I agree it depends on how you use it. MyEtherWallet uses trusted crypto libraries and ensures that only public information is sent to our nodes. To make sure that we are only sending public information and not secretly updating the code to catch private keys.But we should also consider that, MyEtherWallet doesn't write any smart contracts and is just a client-side interface to interact with the blockchain. To be honest, you never really can be sure that anything is safe but you can minimize the risks. MyEtherWallet is not a standard web wallet. It does not allow you to create an account or store your Ether on MEW’s servers. It simply allows you to create a wallet. Then, you can store that wallet anywhere and keep it safe and thats your responsibility.

I'm keep on the MEW ETH and 15 tokens 2 years. And for this time i have not lose any coins. News about vulnerabilitys MEW - this is only fake. You can lose coins if enter on the phishing site. What this did not happen check https and certificates.

is that real? you have really strong hands if that so, you gain so much from that time of holding i believe kudos to you dude.
I haven't heard any confirmed news about meyetherwallet being attack, mostly of it was just a fake news or a user tells everyone that he/she lost coins on MEW but the truth is he/she just got phished.

correct. Make sure you always check the address url bar whenever you access myetherwallet and also check if the site has an https and certificate so that you are sure that you are accesing the correct site and not the cloned ones or phised site because mew is verry popular in terms of phising and hacking to the fact that many people are using it because mew is indeed the best wallet to use when dealing on altcoins or erc20 bases coins and tokens.

Even the site is giving out reminders on how to access the original site which this wallet is really very prone to clones since this is the access into wallet once keys have been compromised and its the most famous erc20 token wallet storage this is why hackers would really try out their best to make a site which would able for them to extract out keys of those newbie users. Be wary on all cost specially when logging in your private keys online.

Yes, i have saved the token ERC20 on myetherwallet too, there are no problem be found on there about the losing of token on myetherwallet is the mistake of the users them selves, they are careless when accessed myetherwallet. Should the are more carefull when access myetherwallet website, unfortunately many people did not knew about it so they just blamed myetherwallet because their mistakes.

So far i have not lose any coins in myetherwallet.com. So for me it is safe. Some of my friends lose their coins but its their fault because they always click any links that sent to them.

MEW is a legit wallet and those friends of yours are not the only that lost their balance to MEW but if you'll google "MEW Hacked" same problems will come out. They have clicked phishing links and they put their private keys that directly goes to the database of the hackers and will login to their funds. While them not aware that they are fooled by a fake website, they didn't noticed that their funds were already stolen.

Agree. We can see how MEW put efforts just to make sure our accounts are safe. Avoiding getting hacked should be the first thing to learn for people who wants to enter cryptocurrency. Checking it's link is the first step to avoid phishing.
