The scam you're referring to. MyEtherWallet isn't the problem there. Just like what Lakai01 said, it's user error. People seem to like clicking some shady links on websites and emails, and not even check the URL before inputting their data. For some reason typing up "myetherwallet.com" on your browser seems to be difficult for some people.
The uneducated loses in the end, just as always. Scams like that should wake people up and actually try to educate themselves for these types of schemes first instead of just straight off investing; just because they wanted their lambos in a short timespan.

Recently many cases I have seen for hacked MyEtherwallet. Million dollar and token has been stolen by hacker. Especially those are new hunters, they are not much aware about technic of hackers. You can see example here how scamed MyEtherwallet, [SCAM ALERT] EOSGAS hacking MyEtherwallet by asking KYC & sign message . They are hacked very cleverly.
Basically hunter using same wallet for bounty. It's ok, rather than make multiple wallet use single wallet.
I think it is due to the issue of disclosure of the wallet should be hacked by the hacker. MyEtherwallet does not have any problems, be more careful when sharing your personal wallet. Basically hunter using same wallet for bounty. It's ok, rather than make multiple wallet use single wallet.

Its not Myetherwallet which is the problem in here. If the user doesnt use tools which indicate if a site is fake or not, uses google searches to access site and inputs secure data into every form asking for it the best secured site wont be able to protect the tokens.

My suggestion to avoid scam move your token and eth to other MyEtherwallet account that are personal. I mean it will be use only for store token. After receive your token transfer instantly your personal MyEtherwallet. And personal account should not be use for bounty or other site. So even by mistake you visit phishing site invited by scammer, your token will be safe. But when you open your personal account, should be check address bar and don't login if invited form any third party website. Remember again personal address shouldn't be use for bounty or third party website. Just use it like cold store.
May be you will lose some gas fee but I believe you can save your hard work money.
