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.
please refer to the following links that may help you secure your MEW

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!
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.

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

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.
I think don't bother with this, man go get yourself a ledger nano s and enjoy it.

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.

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!
hardware wallet is the best way i think
umm then i think you can split ur asset into diffrent mew wallet
hacker usually hack with big ammount , but yeah hacker is hacker , noone know

Regardless of what wallet it is, possibility of being hacked is there. We are responsible in the security of our private keys, so in your friend's case myetherwallet is not the issue imo. Unfortunately, there is no other way to get back the coins unless the hacker send it back which is unlikely to happen.
My ways of protecting my Eth Wallet/Private keys:
1. I saved my private key in a safe place (offline : away from the PC that I am using everyday)
2. I don't open my wallet every time I want to check my coins/tokens balances, instead I check my address through block explorers (etherscan.io , ethplorer.io)
3. I have Metamask and EAL chrome extension to be warned if I visited a phishing/malicious site
4. Whenever I need to open my wallet and do a transaction, I manually type myetherwallet URL in my browser's address bar (I never access the site through easy clickable links anywhere)
5. After opening the site, I double/tripple check the URL and the green MYETHERWALLET LLC [US] before unlocking my wallet

I manually type myetherwallet URL in my browser's address bar - this is the best advice to avoid phishing sites. Once you get to real MEW make a bookmark so next time the browser will advice the right link. What relates to the storing of your private keys - just buy Ledger/Trezor and forget about this problem
Can add, that if do not have a hardware wallet, do not store your passwords on your PC. And if you keep the data, then encrypt it so that if you catch the virus, hackers could not access your data.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to return money, which was stolen from MEV. There are 3 options why it happened - or your friend went to a phishing site. Or your friend kept the secret key on the computer. Or he got a virus on his computer. (To avoid the latter you must not click on other people's links).
No one can revert back the stolen tokens and eth. Avoid phishing sites, store your crypto in a hardware wallet. And be careful when you visit websites and keep an eye out.
I doubt he was hacked, probably he clicked on a phishing site instead or somehow got his private key accessible to someone.In any case I wonder why he would decide to keep 150 eth in mew instead of using a hardware wallet.Your best bet at keeping your coins safe is to use a hardware wallet such as ledger or trezor

I realy dont understand what you mean by that. If someone is entering your mew with metamask, than he is most probably doing that from your pc. Remote control of some kind like TeamV, or he found your pass somewhere where you wrote it down, saved on pc...
currently the best way to safe your asset is use wallet hardware
"myetherwallet' strongly recommends it or at least uses metamask, we must beware with phishing link
"myetherwallet' strongly recommends it or at least uses metamask, we must beware with phishing link
The only way to "hack" MEW is phishing. I wonder why the heck your friend didn't use hardware wallet having that amount??? Trezor or Ledger wallets are totally secure, because they keep private keys and the only thing they do is signing messages with the chosen private key. So you aren't able to compromise private keys at all.
If you have enough money to buy 150 ETH, you have enough money to buy a hardware wallet. This should be one of your main priorities if you have a significant sum invested.
You are surely asking a lot of question
Don't download any suspicious bot/program (100% winning bot, 100% profit trading bot)
Don't tell your private key to anyone.

No, there is none.
I wonder your friend's myetherwallet how to hacked?
If the private key is not compromised, the probability of being invaded is almost zero, and I don't know how it can be accessed at so many address the same time.
