Topic: Rumors: MEW DNS possible hijacked... stay away and safe - page 3. (Read 520 times)
They have stolen very big number, I saw news and they are saying 24.5 eth they stole but this numbers are not certain, it can changeable. Dont enter to mew at this days.
While the market is growing so well, it is too bad that such bad things happen. I hope to recover soon.
This rumor is pretty much true, and its not even on myetherwallet's part. Anyways this made me remember how cryptocurrencies are dangerous and risky, very easy to be stolen. I was using mew but luckily I didn't for at least 2 months (hodl) so I avoided it by chance (and I was using google dns..)
Hacking is a very bad practice that has come from an unexpected place, very sneakily thought. You have to be very careful about this kind of attack. It is useful to check the time when we will process the URL address in the address bar.
This affects online web users that use google dns and logged in. How to check: Open a command window. For example, on Windows 7 systems, select Start > Run and enter cmd .
At the prompt, enter. ipconfig -all. Your system returns information like the following, including the IP address.

Is this rumor true?
I still do not believe this rumor, but anyway if indeed all the issues are true
I must have anticipation, to avoid the things that are not desirable,
I have to use a harder wallet,
and I have to move my coin coins that are still left in MEW with as soon as possible.

Yes this is sadly true
every person could lose his all money, it is just about timing that saved you. I always knew that is going to happen one day. I've started to use offline version of myetherwallet because of that.

There was another recent post that warned about this. From what it looks like, this issue has been addressed and MEW is back to normal.. Always worth taking extra precautions though! (also it seems like this was an issue affecting only MEW generated private keys that were generated during a certain period of time).
I don't think this is fixed, The address posted above keeps receiving eth, last tx was a minute ago..

Is this true? today I have several times access myetherwallet to transact, is my wallet safe? this worries me and scares me.
Meanwhile, don't access your wallet no matter what, as it's a DNS hijacking (obviously not the actual data since MEW doesn't store your coins on the website)... You can check your balance on Etherscan
UPDATE:
Unfortunately the rumors are true and you can track the hacker wallet here (he stoke almost 25k ETH so far):

I still keep some tokens there, what should I do?
this is bad news. I heard that the ETH transaction is disturbed is this the impact of this issue?

They are not ''there'' they are in YOUR wallet. You only access your wallet through mew if you want to. You can use it locally in your computer without going to myetherwallet website. Nothing will happen to you if you don't access your wallet through the mew website. In fact you shouldn't really use the website at all, much safer to use it on your own computer.

Same here - they better not be hacked as this would create some more FUD again as a lot of people are using MEW.
MEW itself was not hacked, but DNS somehow was replaced. Anyway you could see a warning sign in the browser before opening your wallet, but some have thought that it is still okay. You can avoid loads of problems by using hardware wallets, just check the address on the device screen when you send the tokens. 
Nothing is safe with a computer and on the internet... Don't use a website if the certificate is not the good one or is invalid.
Every month or 2 months, there is some kind of hack with Ethereum... Bitcoin is a little more safer.

Some rumors going around that Myetherwallet got hacked.... Better to stay away and not access your wallet with private key or keystore file until they fix it or they announce an update.... Stay safe ya'll
