some time ago I opened the Myetherwallet site to make a transaction, but I was directed to another tab in the browser that I used with a slightly different address but with the exact same appearance.

https://myetherwallet.com-eth.network/index.php?

exactly the same as the original website,

https://www.myetherwallet.com/

I hope this can be our shared awareness,
because not only were they new sites that were phishing, but the Vintage website from MEW also experienced the same incident.

https://myetherwallet.com-eth.network/vintage/index.php?key=9090

and exactly the same as the original website.

always bookmark some important websites and ignore pop ups when you surf the internet. because it might be one of the phishing attempts.

I am confused. Can you tell me which is original and which is fake?

It's always a better idea to bookmark all the websites where you are entering data which may be compromised. I use Binance and MyEtherWallet and I have bookmarked both of these.

It can create an experience for all of us, now that there are many phishing websites, be careful to keep your data safe.
My advice is to avoid phishing web pages, by bookmarking pages, don't often use searches,
If you open https://www.myetherwallet.com/ use the metamask installed on your PC

These scammers are buying ads to promote their phishing sites. They are going under google's radar.

This is one of the reasons that you never just copy and paste your private key into a web browser. Always connect with a safe option like a hardware wallet.

The scammers know how to manage the whole manner without raising any questions on the victim's mind. MEW has changed its user interface and wallet access methods, scammers did the same thing too. Now scammers use Google advertising tools for promoting their phishing site and new users have gravitated to this magnet.

This has been the first time this year that I am hearing about the MEW phishing site, so I got the impression the scammers gave up on this particular type of phishing as it is the most obvious one and most people are already familiar with it, but I guess it is still effective enough to keep trying. Bookmarking the real MEW site is indeed an easy and crucial ordeal to avoid stepping on this phishing mine.

I think no one will refuse. After all, inexperienced investors always come to the market. I’m sure hundreds of people make this mistake every day. In a hurry or unknowingly. But this is not the end of phishing. You also need to be careful and do not use Google to search your exchange. Unfortunately there are enough fakes too.

It's easy now to detect MyEtherWallet site phising or not
First, if you mobile user use MyEtherWallet apk on playstore, it's easy to use
Second, for pc user install MetaMask to protect you from phising site, it always close when you open phising site. Very helpful.

Make sure once you search to myetherwallet you can check it if the site is really legit because we know now a lot of pishing site are copying the name of the website and they change only some letters or add some so the user will not notice that website is fake or trying to hack your account. We need to be careful every we want to login our account to make sure our account is safe.

Search engines should redirect to official sites for queries like well known wallets, banks, etc...

Search Engines doesn't work like that. Search engines work bases of a website's ranks. inbound and outbound links. and other factors. which we call Search Engine Optimization. if a phishing website have stronger SEO than an original website then that phishing site will win in the search engine. that's how it works. search engines are made of bots and codes. they don't check which website is original and which one is phishing. Stronger Optimization you have stronger the chance of your website to come on top of search engines.

I haven't heard of a phishing site for ethereum wallets for a long time, but it seems they always pop up and try to snatch all the coins we have. Indeed, it is very difficult to distinguish between the original and not because it is very similar. But if you remain cautious and also always be vigilant if there is an acceptability.

As far as I know there are more than two thousand such sites in Russia. I am more interested in what resources will advertise such phishing sites. Of course, in order to avoid any problems, always use only previously made bookmarks.

Firstly I check the Alexa rank of the site, even though I bookmark them. Most of the phising sites don't have good Alexa rank. If you compare real site with the phising site you can see the difference in Alexa rank.

Secondly using Metamask, it shows the warning message on the screen when we visit any scam or phishing sites.

Third, read the URL twice entering into them.

Fourth, Always use Two devices one for work and one for the wallet.

MEW is mostly attacked Ether Wallet till now.

LOL you are asking to check the alexa rank before use it? Really funny I hope you don't do like that too.

While you accessing the wallet just confirm the URL is correct or not that is enough else you bookmark the page and access the legacy wallet. Because of new UI many people confuse themselves whether it is correct or wrong wallet.

Yes Checking Alexa ranks helps me in 2018 to avoid fake MEW URL's If you don't understand what I want to say then you should read again. Mostly phishing site doesn't have good Alexa rank if you check in case of MEW, the Alexa rank for MEW is 12,877 and if you open the phising site you can see their Alexa rank. Much different

I installed the EtherAddressLookup extension in my browser. It has a list of phishing sites and warns you if you hit it.
This is not an advertisement, I just share information with you.

ok buddy, thank you I will try it. Previously I bookmarked MEW on my web browser (I use chrome) is this safe enough to avoid phishing webs. or do I need something again?

Bookmark and always check it first before putting your private keys is very important securing your wallets online, a lots of hackers who's waiting to penetrate with your accounts so do a routine check before dealing with your online wallet, always take a closer look with the site and double check
everything as OP already shared some information.

What a thing that often happens. Phishing sites are circulating everywhere and always looking for our guardian side. It's really the thing that makes MEW users think twice about using it. Keep your friends' hearts because evil always targets our blind spots.

they still do this when they can just guess the privatekeys like the kids who stole 45,000 ETH just by guessing privatekeys. phishing will leave more trail thru that hosting companies they use. these hackers seem to have more skills, than just guessing so they should just use their skills to earn not steal.

Well, online wallet is the worst wallet to use. It might be easy and simple to use, but very low security. I suggest you all to get at least desktop wallet to store you assets, if possible you can buy a hardware wallet for better security. Better safe than sorry.
