As others people said, I follow the possibiliy of a web browser failure.

Do you know that is possible to create offline transactions with MEW ?

This could help you in the future to be protected against web browser attacks.

In my situation, I have an offline computer (this computer is NEVER connected to the network), I have the website in local storage and I follow the steps as described on the link.

This is quite impossible to hack you, as your private key is used on the offline computer, and if you use a dedicaced usd key for transfering the transaction information, and if you format it every times you use it, I think it becomes really hard to hack you  Smiley

I take care to delete the partition on the USB drive before every time I plug it again on the offline computer, to avoid possible viruses transferts.

Anyway, you could use an hardware wallet, but you still have this possibility if you don't want to  Tongue
