Another day, another hack. Basically My Ether Wallet was hacked via the chrome extension hola. At this point it isn't known how many users have been affected or how many tokens have been lost.

So my question to you is will you still use MEW? Do you think it is their responsibility what happened? The hack that happened a couple months ago was bad enough, but now another one? I find it hard to believe that their credibility will be salvaged after this.

yes, its their responsibility on what happen, i been using MEW for a long time now and i have any issue on it, protect your wallet and always bookmark. dont login your private key on any suspicious sites.

I will still use Mew even though market goes bad and if the wallet is compromised with the hackers. Btw i use Metamask and Trust wallet to track my erc-20 token
I would love to share to you guys that Hardware wallet is the best option for holdings alts.

hardware wallets are good although they require higher maintenance than online wallets, should be more alert to viruses that are now widely spread

You need to be very careful when you log in to your account as well as when using the browser.Never install any suspicious extensions in the browser you use to log into your wallet.

Woow Brother that bad. you must extra careful , Instal metamask first in Firefox or googlechrome and install addons Cryptonite by metacert and netcraft Extension to avoid web phishing .

User's carelessness is one reason for an account to be poke or even worse like hacking... It is not the wallets or the group's fault..

Do not do anything risky, it is also the duty of the wallet owner to maintain the security of his password or private key to secure all his accounts. You stay safe then there is no problem with your ownership. And better use metamask together with MEW. I think Meong is one of those safe purses if you use metamask.

before we enter the private key on myetherwallet on the site always gives a warning to re-control the links we have visited right, this is done so that users avoid hacking. if we can be careful to re-control the links we visit, myetherwallet will certainly be safe to use.

I am still using it but without using any extensions or third parties that could lead to hacking my account. And also if you are cautious of your every move on the internet you will be safe for any hacking attempt. MEW also sited to their websites the warnings before you proceed to unlocking your account so MEW team couldn't do anything about of these recent damages.

i used mew and metamask together so it's safer than use one of them

is that allowed? I did not know about this possibility. I will definitely try.
with this option a threat, as was recently "hola vpn" ceases to be relevant?

Yes, i am using it for more than a year now and never faced any problem with MEW. Compared to other wallets MEW wallet is safe for storing Erc20 tokens and find it very safe for storing the coins as long as if we don't share our private key with others.

I am still gonna use MEW regardless of the hacks it get, because the main security it gets is upon the user or the keeper of the private key. If you want to keep your private wallet secured, use a flashdrive and store your wallet file inside that after you trade. Never be too get triggered of the time you will consume at that security measure because it would always be 100% loss once your ignorance get you into that kind of incident.

It is now the issue of MEW why people account was hack, as long as I know when you log-in in the right site as they always advise to everyone no negative issue will occur right?

If you use MEW following all safety rules, the risk is pretty low. Just use it in bundle with Metamask and don't forget to check safety certificates on the website and everything will be ok.
