Topic: MyEtherWallet Succumbs to DNS Attack with $ 17 million stolen - page 3. (Read 592 times)
This has happend many times with MyEtherwallet. In my opinion they should implement some security measures on its website like some other exchanges google authenticator. I never heard other exchanges has been hacked everytime I heard about MEW. Admin should seriously think about making it more secure so that nobody will fear to login. I am always afraid to login my MEW Ac because I have seen many people lost their coins without sharing their keys. I usually avoid to login my Ac I always use etherscan or ethplorer to check my coins. Only thing we can do is always login carefully check the website address twice before using your keys. I would say use UTC file to login your Ac that is more secure. Try to secure your coins in Trezor wallet that is the best way to secure your coins.
Yeah, that's bad news . You should always be alert and try to protect your funds as much as possible . And go to trusted sites
How could you protect your servers so badly? I hope this does not affect the price of my tokens, I will definitely not use MEV now. Buterin help! 
When I read such news, I am in total shock. I do not even know how it is. Yesterday, have a lot of money in your wallet, and today become bankrupt. The whole issue is safe, but I think that people just need to create many separate cold wallets.
They always warned that Keystore and seed phrase was not a secure way to access the wallets so I don't think this is a big surprise. If you accessed with a TREZOR or Ledger you should be okay.
The hardware wallet is recommended than the online wallet
If using Trezor or Ledger nano. No need to worry for your balance there.
So sad when i here that popular web wallet like Myetherwallet can get hacked, seriously i can't trust any we wallet, i think they didn't use cloudflare dns,this is due to uses of public dns.
After what happened, people can stop trusting web wallets. Even if you follow the safety rules, you can lose money. As you can see, hardware wallets are safest for now. By the way, it's interesting how they solve the problem with dns attacks now.
It was very painful and disheartening that alot of money where lost as a result of this DNS attack. Alot of check mate need to be done to prevent this from happening again someone close to me lost some Eth as well due to this. For all those that lost money due to this I pray that they should recover soon.

No one will be a millionaire here, only scammers/hackers will. That's why we need to check our accounts from time to time. And make sure that we put our 2FAs. These people wants easy money so this kind of activity is just a piece of cake for them.
Crypto industry is the best place for hackers/scammers. Crypto haven't control and all hackers/scammers come here. It's very big problem for industry. Crypto-community needs more protection from this.
Crypto industry can't compete with banks and fiat funds, until we minimize such risks.
I thought that MEW is very safe wallet. I'm very concerned after this news

Strangely, I heard that only $ 150,000 was stolen. In any case, we will not know the truth! There is nothing to know for a common man in the street

This shit about how you are spreading a referral link to your site and take the advantage by made fake result regarding how amount that has been stolen by the hacker. This is the hacker's address 0x1d50588C0aa11959A5c28831ce3DC5F1D3120d29, and the hacker is about stealing around $150,000 and 17 million dollars just a bullshit thing.
all eth/token(s) has been sent to this address

This is the biggest threat to the cryptocurrency market. There are always hacks and people are always losing money to these hacks which means that a lot of people get scared about investing due to the fear that they might lose their coins. Although Myetherwallet seem to be dealing with the hack accordingly, I am not yet able to log into my wallet to see if my coins were stolen
This is one of the reason why the market suddenly collapse. Hoping that this event is just temporary and the market would recover again very soon. Ethereum price also suffer a big dump after spreading this news.
probably because myetherwallet eth price becomes cheap. I hope, with the incident eth prices do not go down continue to be cheaper very sad to hear this news, and this also makes the price of ETH and token-based ETH directly experienced a very drastic price decline, whereas in the last day everything is still up 
one thing I want to ask, when will myetherwallet return to normal? or even never will?

Seems that myetherwallet is safe now. But we should wait until myetherwallet developers officially make an announcement. Before that log in to the wallet is very risky.

When i learned about this development yesterday, i am disappointed because i'm also a victim of wallet hacking and i knew how it feels that your hard earned money will get lost to criminals. I hope they will caught the hackers and brought to justice.
Thank you for the information you provide, we must remain vigilant against hackers, DNS transfer case is indeed difficult to resolve, unlike the case of fake loger
How to secure my wallet, I was very nervous to know this information. But I'm lucky I have not logged in recently
Wow, it's already 17mln$, I read about it but it was absolutely another amount, if I don't mistake only about 150.000$.
I heard the same thing that around 212 ETH was stolen or something, but this is insane. 17 freaking million dollars is a humongous amount and I seriously feel bad for the people who lost their funds. I usually tend to check my funds through ethplorer and rarely ever access my wallet which helped me out in this case. I advise everyone not to access their wallet if they simply wish to check their funds and instead depend on websites like ethplorer etc which will minimize the risk to a big degree. Also, I still consider MEW relatively safe even after this attack since this is the most reliable ETH wallet at the moment. Jump to:
