its quite unfortunate that  such an ordeal got him. but taking safety measures such as keeping your key private is the only way to secure yourself from hackers. entering your key work i online sights isn't also advisable as as hackers can easily pick them, avoid repeatedly logging into your wallet all the times, makes the activities of your wallet easy to trace.

if your computer is not clean and infected by a virus or trojan it is for sure that you will loose your savings. you should use a clean computer and you should connect to myetherwallet with a hardware wallet such as trezor or ledger. if you do so, risk is really very low.

Secure Myetherwallet in the best way?, Who can help me?
My friend has been hacked for myetherwallet over 150 ethereum along with all tokens including mattrix, fusion, ptoy, ......
The recent myetherwallet security is constantly hacked, so is there a better way?
I'm using Metamask to secure my mythical wallet, but hacking still happens normally!
Is there a way to retrieve the ethereum number and the entire token lost to my friend?
Please show me how to secure the myetherwallet in the best way!
for me i think Myetherwallet is safe but it depend how you will use  it
i always log in only using Keystore / JSON File because you will need to use password
i dont use my private key or Mnemonic Phrase because 1 time you submit or put it in the wrong site
there a high possibility that you will lose your coin only open your wallet in one laptop or desktop
and just put backup of the UTC somewhere only in case your current laptop get broken and just dont forget your password

I'm sure I don't need to repeat what many have already said above... We have concluded that MyEtherWallet is one of the best and most secure wallets.

But, here are a few alternatives for your consideration:
Mist - One of the primary Ethereum wallets used by desktop users. Mist is capable of supporting ERC20 tokens, including token contracts.
Parity - This wallet is quite popular among Ethereum enthusiasts. Do keep in mind Parity will only watch tokens found in the Token Registry, though.
MetaMask - Browser plugin for Chrome and Firefox supports Ethereum-based tokens as well.

There will be no chance to retrieve those hacked ethereum,your friend probably got phished that is why you need to install good antiviruses and malwarebytes to your computer,so wont lose anything in your mew,plus you can use hardwallets i recommend using ledger or trezor i am using these two to secure my wallet because these two are compatible for the mew,always use metamask if you are going to transact using decentralized exchanges.

just always keep your own private key. please dont do sharing it from other people because they can hack your myetherwallet and they can get all your balance on your myetherwallet. me i already have a account of myetherwallet and i save only my private key on my (secret social media account) that only me can access it by using my own password. so that for the safety of your myetherwallet is saving your private key on your phone that has an unique password before you access it..
I dont recommend use Private Key in every transaction. Maybe JSON can help, but as MEW site always reccomend use Hardware. I think Hardware Wallet will be my prefrence, dont want lose any coins Shocked
Yes the statement above that i quote is correct, don't share to other your private key or even the friend that close to you it might be a cause of leak in scam if they know. even  if your friend don't trust them. So far as i know myether wallet is not easily getting hack or scam because you are the one who responsible to keep your private key file and password. I used that myether wallet for almost a year so far i don't encountered with that problem. One factor is don't click link that Suspicious you to see.

best way to secure your wallet is by not giving your private key to anyone and do not fall for any phishing attack.
myetherwallet and other wallet are very secure. just don't do stupid things and you are fine.

Myetherwallet is the most secure wallet I have ever seen, cause no one can log in your account without a private key or UTC file, even this wallet have not recover option, and they said they haven't any fault if you lost your key. So just think how secure is this. You just need to secure your key. and I suggest you, you can use metamask.Its is very secure, I already use metamask and its very secure I think.Don't put your private key on any website.

Never open a mew link from emails, slack, or other social media. You can also bookmark the official website. Accessing mew thru metamask is also a good way to secure your ether and/or erc-20 tokens.

Your story says your 'friend', then you say you use Metamask 'but the hack still happens'.  So which is it?  Was your friend hacked or was it you?  

Who knows if you're even telling the truth.  You're prolly full of bs right now...

I guess that you have entered phising site who wants you to gives private key and password. There is no other way, despite you give information about private key and password to anyone.

In order to understand how you need to protect yourself, you need to analyze what the people who are hacking do to me, it seems to me that your uncompromising companion came to the MEW site which was compromised by DNS substitution, probably first of all it should be just more attentive, but it's better to buy Trezor or Ledger

You must check where you now, exactly it is myetherwallet or another fishing site.
Always be verified on viruses because is troyan when you use copypast  then adresses can be change.

The question is, how did he get hacked? Did someone knew his private key or it was compromised? If you kept your private key safe, then there is no way to be hacked. The only thing you need to do is to keep it and do not share it with others.

150 Ethereum equals a lot of money, you shouldn't store that in a third-party cloud. Instead create a paper wallet or use a desktop wallet, preferably on a offline computer (not connected to the internet). Web-wallets are useful for active usage, like shopping but you shouldn't use it as a bank account. But if you really want myetherwallet, then make sure to have an unique password without words and also double check if your computer is not infected.

Use hardware wallet (Trezor etc) is safest for now i think, judging by the total loss of your friend's Ethereum I assume that he can buy a hardware wallet (trezor etc). Or if he still wants to use mew try google add-on Etheraddresslookup (This is made by one of the admin / moderator etherscan). And there are many other ways in google. Be careful! Goodluck!
