i am getting worried more and more because there are a lot of people being hacked the wallet

Don't use metamask, and do not use MEW if you do not have a hardware wallet or a safe encrypted wallet.
I do not understand why there are a lot of people still doing the same, is like if you like to get hacked.
Sorry, but there is no going back in here, just buy a hardware wallet.
Yeah. I agree. I am using this wallet mostly for airdrops for small amounts so I did not buy a hard wallet.
