Cryptocurrency Wallet MyAtherWallet (MEW) Cointelegraph is said to be rumors about it being hacked "FUD" and "a stupid falsehood."
Today, a personal message, on January 9, the Wallet Provider explicitly denies charging charges in social media that hackers have gained their DNS access, creating a phishing scam to collect login data.
Mews rumors have become a threat to the developers of Altcoin Ethereum Blue (BLUE) on Twitter, who have warned about the DNS compromise, not to use the MOU.

mew has many phishing websites which are similar to the original website. You could have come under the attack of the phishing website where you could have entered your private keys or you must have used them in a public computer where someone might have stolen your key. I have been using mew for past 1 year and I have been experiencing no issues with them as I store the keys very secretly or store them in a very safe place. You should only login in to the mew while you are transferring funds otherwise you must use only ethexplorer for checking the balance of your wallet. Login in to your account must be done very safely so that no one might see your keys. Use only ethexplorer for checking your balance.
First thing is you should not give your private keys to anyone. Further most important thing is you have book the site your web browser and always log in from that link only. There are variety of phishing myether wallet websites and you should be very careful when you log in. Never type the myether wallet address on address bar and it is most important to go from the already saved (book marked) link.
People who reveal their private keys are mostly efforted in myetherwallet hack
On a personal perspective, exploring new horizons specifically on the emerging digital currencies i.e alt coins or cryptocurrencies brought multiple responses. On a positive note, these became the new medium of trading and/or other business transactions. On the other hand, based on your stand point that this became a medium to create crimes and eventually chaos and war amongst the supreme/superiors, I strongly disagree because being anonymous receiver/sender of alt coins also corresponds liability should you do any anomalies and distress amongst other people and I'm pretty sure the authorities have considered this also. I think its more of the timing, because nations became more powerful and their reasons of gaining these wealth and spread animosity is fighting for their rights and their people and use of cryptos and/or alt coins is not the reason. Am I making sense here?
The most important thing to avoid such situation if you did not give your keys bymistake to anyone you should always bookmark the right website and open MEW from bookmark website. Do not always type the website address in address bar this can lead you to the phising website. So that hacker can access your details and take out your coins easily from your account and to avoid this always use private window or Incognito window to login to your myetherwallet and always use antivirus in your system.
i'm always suspicious to this etherdelta which is why its something that you should be avoiding. sending your private key is never a good thing as its just like a password being exposed to someone. if OP haven't login to etherdelta then a phiishing site must be the reason why someone got into your account and took your funds.
this afternoon .. Myetherwallet wallet I have been in stolen the contents by hackers ..
and I lost the ETH, has anyone ever experienced a similar case to the one I'm currently experiencing?
and how to keep this from happening again? this is really annoying (hacker shit)
I really don't know how that happened. Actually, I got hacked also in MEW. I created a new wallet for a campaign I joined. That is only new and I'm pretty sure I gave the ETH address. I never went or joined in a phishing site. So, when the bounty reward was added to my MEW, it was transferred to another wallet instantly. I really don't know how it happened and all I know I was fucked up. and I lost the ETH, has anyone ever experienced a similar case to the one I'm currently experiencing?

Be sure to secure your private key and save it in some hard drives. Also not enter your private key in any airdrops, because for sure that is the hacker. Also don't paste your private key in MEW when it is not secured because there is a big chance to get your private key and phishing all your tokens in your wallet. If you want to secure your wallet try to use a metamask, ledger, or a trezor so that your wallet will be secured.
It's a bit of a misguided question and it is with proper security it is next to impossible to "Hack" into MyEtherWallet.
The most common reason people lose their Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens is that they have been phished, means you visited a dummy website instead of the real one or clicked on a fake link from an email or forum and arrived there by that route. Then if you enter your private key they capture it, so the real description of the problem is you gave away your private key not that you were hacked.
Take precautions like a very hard to crack password, Metamask, or a Ledger hardware wallet as an addition to MEW.

Dont think if you use linux you in a safe position. This system uses the same browser mozilla. Hackers can use exploit for him.

Until now I am still lucky compared to you, chances are there are some who take and steal our coin in myetherwallet always there.
but actually myetherwallet is very careful that no one can take, live depend on us who have a "private key" can store and maintain well or not.
probably the most frequent mistake so myetherwallet stolen because opening myetherwallet link from google not from bookmarks, because sometimes we do not realize myetherwallet link from google is trap.
there is no harm start to get used all the links that we often use for the bookmarks only.
I think you've been phished. You didn't checked the correct address of MEW when visiting their website? Cryptocurrencies' security (especially MEW) has a great and big loophole so it depends on the security of pc/laptop. Check your laptop/pc for a possible key logger. Since you're using MEW, take extra caution when visiting their site.
MyEtherwallet is very safe i haven't experience getting unauthorized access on my etherwallet. I think the reason why your Myetherwallet is compromise maybe you access a phishing sites or a fake myetherwallet site where your credentials was stolen. You should double check the URL always when you are trying to access a site.
why hackers can get into Myetherwallet
You must, double-check the URL & SSL cert. It should say https://www.myetherwallet.com & MYETHERWALLET LLC in your URL bar and You should not click on suspicious links and are infected with phishing and do not download programs from anonymous sites You must save the secret key in external hard or usb drive Do not put important things in your device and keep them away, Be sure to protect your computer and always check it for viruses and install all updates for your Windows Finally, always check the URL before entering.

kindly do not use thant link - original link is https://blockchain.info Both are similar links but difference is only the last word
MEW has no 2FA security so the security of MEW is very weak. This is very common problem with MEW.
I start using new wallet Address on ----
I think it is safer than MEW.

Check the domain name in your browser window. Clone website with almost similar domain name can steal your ether. Check the domain name letter by letter.
As long as you have something of value, there's someone who wants to steal it. You need to be very careful because the money can not be recovered.
I also believe that there can be no reason other than a phishing site or keyloggers. MEW has established itself as a reliable wallet. the output is to install Linux on a separate computer, an apartheid purse or buy a detached teephone and use it only for storage.
