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 https://blockchain.io.
I think it is safer than MEW.
MEW doesn't need 2FA, It's security depends on your PC setup. If your PC is infected with Virus or has keylogger or you open a phishing site, You will LOSE your money. Use a Hardware Wallet to protect your assets. I start using new wallet Address on https://blockchain.io.

chances are you've logged in on a computer that is owned by hackers so they are easier to break into our wallets. hackers are very clever in breaking etherwallet the level of security is less strong such as weak passwords and email or mobile phone number that is not connected with etherwallet. besides that we also have to merehasiakan private key etherwallet that we have, do not to know other people or our friend.
That's blizzard I don't think that's even possible I checked online myetherwallet isn't actually a wallet it permits you to enter your private key so that you can view your wallet , maybe you have been caught up by many phishing site which look like myetherwallet but they actually scam you
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)
No. I never experience that kind of scenerio, i just doubt how could those things happen, in the first place ether wallet pincode and private key are highly
encrypted, maybe somebody took your account in secret, or you left your flash drive exposed to scammer people. Because your situation was the very first thing i heard from this forum,

So what percentage is the most likely reason MEW accounts are hacked? It seems like its mostly the person entering a fake site/phishing link right? That is most likely number 1? And the reason is most likely you google the site? So when you click on it, does the actual site direct you to myetherwallet.com? Or its something like myetherwa11et.com with different letters that look like it?
The other thing is has there been people who got their accounts hacked but never ever entered their seed into their MEW account? And also those who never exposed their seed on their computer or online? If so, how would that be possible?

Above everything that has been said and advised but most times we can't do without the MEW wallet for some campaign request for it to be paid into. I just like the idea of web wallet, whether we expose our keys or not, hackers would still want to find their way around it. Is sad 
Myetherwallet is prone to Hacking and stealing of coins basically it is often caused by logging on to phishing sites similar to MEW in fact there is a forum that is similar to bitcointalk in which an unsuspecting member will login his or her details in this phishing forum and possibly hacked, it is always advisable to bookmark MEW to avoid such a scenario.
There are phising websites that are same as that of the real myetherwallet. Some users without knowing it, mistakenly enter the data and try to log on to the account. In this way several hacks have taken place in the past. It's our responsibility to use the right one avoiding the scam attempts.
MEW don’t store your wallet details. The most common cases of such hacks are due to phishing websites and virus in your computer. You have to track back which website you access to and do a complete scan on your computer.
well i got to learn about it ..the very day my friend mistakenly summited his private key and also enrolled into fake airdrop.

I am the victim of the same incident. You can not stop this because this is done by some MEW link person and this is regular practice. MEW can apply double layer security to MEW but after that MEW team could not do all that. and I lost the ETH, has anyone ever experienced a similar case to the one I'm currently experiencing?

For more safety you can use JASON file to login and use etherscan.io to check you balance in MEW. Always use updated antivirus software. Do nor keep you ETH in the MEW wallet keep them on trading platform is more safe than mew.

1st mistake you did may be - have you filled any airdrop recently and there you have filled the private key during google docs.
Never fill your private key
2ns mistake - you have recently downloaded a file which is full of virus and it stopped all important files and send data to the hacker directly.
Install good antivirus
3rd check the url you are accessing it may be phishing site , there are lot of site during scan business , bookmark original myetherwallet always try to use Metamask google chrome extension

Be more secure, make myetherwallet a bookmark to your computer so you won't mistype the site that might lead you to a phishing site.
Never expose your private key anywhere.
Don't install such apps that might harm your computer.
Be careful about joining airdrops. make sure you will not register there your main wallet.
check the url. Make sure its right website and not phising site. Scan your hardware using antivirus, maybe you got spyware or something.

You need to remember if what did you do before the hacking incident, do you click any suspicious link ? a phising website? double check your computer if it has a malware that cause being hack. Better to make new myetherwallet account or if you have enough money go purchase a hardware wallet.

This happened also to me, other says the most probable reason is logging-in in a phishing site or you download a malware on your pc which was used by hackers or you might gave your private key to others or mistakenly put it in an Airdrop application, which is a very dumb thing if you really do it. But in my case, I really don't know what the reason was. I am very careful in surfing the net, in fact, I use the EtherAddress LookUp in opening MEW website, I haven't used my private key since I'm using JSON File to authenticate MEW. Actually, it was stored in an external HDD then after uploading I immediately remove it. In terms of a virus or malware, I'm 100% sure it's not the reason because I'm scanning my desktop weekly and my AntiVir is up to date.and I lost the ETH, has anyone ever experienced a similar case to the one I'm currently experiencing?

Sometimes when you log in to the wrong DNS, or a phising site you can get hacked. You should also be careful of the types of emails and links you open, or even the websites you visit. Hackers are everywhere so be vigilant
