I was always wondering what could happen if myetherwallet.com website get hacked... so it's better to have the coins on a desktop wallet, instead of a web wallet?
It's a question because I a little bit afraid of web based wallets
If the website got hacked and there is a possibility for the amount in the wallet to be revealed. I can say that was better to have your coin on the desktop wallet, But as far as i know that will not easy to hacked themew wallet, many people are still save their amount in there and the team always update the security of the forum.
