Hello guys , I would like to ask this from more veteran people here if MEW or shall we say myetherwallet.com is safe or not..?
Some of my colleagues said that myetherwallet is not safe because there maybe some intruders with wide and depeest knowledge
When it comes to security bypass could get access of your account at myetherwallet? Please
Help me answer this if mew is safe or not.. Is this a user fault to expose their private key or there is.someone could really
Access our account .. using security bypass? Please thank you.

yes myetherwallet.com is safe if you know how to use / manipulate it. Because sometimes other users mistakenly send or post their private key instead of wallet address. Then they're telling that it was hacked or hijacked.
And as base on my experience always create new wallet everytime you participate on different bounties or airdrop. But of course always take note of your previous private key. So that time my come you can access it anytime.

I agree it depends on how you use it. MyEtherWallet uses trusted crypto libraries and ensures that only public information is sent to our nodes. To make sure that we are only sending public information and not secretly updating the code to catch private keys.But we should also consider that, MyEtherWallet doesn't write any smart contracts and is just a client-side interface to interact with the blockchain. To be honest, you never really can be sure that anything is safe but you can minimize the risks. MyEtherWallet is not a standard web wallet. It does not allow you to create an account or store your Ether on MEWs servers. It simply allows you to create a wallet. Then, you can store that wallet anywhere and keep it safe and thats your responsibility.
