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
Theres nothing to worry on using Myetherwallet since it is really safe as long you didnt expose off your private keys.I cant think off on the site would be hacked but still they cant able to steal up your wallet since you do have your key.Dont bother or worried too much on this stuff because most people say on here that it is completely safe just be responsible on how you do keep those important informations safe from anyone.As being said be careful also on the phishing sites which are similar into MEW if you arent to careful then you would end up on putting up your keys on a wrong website which would cause for you to be hacked.
