I thought I could never be fooled by a phishing page, but today i came across something that was almost fatal for me.
Someone posted a news on a telegram channel that was somehow coming from cointelegraph, saying that MEW had a new vulnerability which hackers could take advantage of, at first view one wouldn't tell it's a scam, especially me with a dusty laptop monitor, the l from the link was with a dot under it, also the link for MEW from that post had a dot under the e letter.
Here is a screenshot of the scam, be careful and pay very good attention to the link, it even has ssl certificate https.
There are already plenty of users that are already been victims by these pushing sites. For all the users that are been already victim by these immoral pishing sites make this as a lesson and for those otger user make this as a warning, we are not perfect being we can't avoid having these mistakes but the most important of it is we learn from our mistakes and grow even stronger and wiser to avoid these bad happening to happen again. Having these pishing sites arounds is very alarming, we should be wise on all the decisions we are about to made specially when we are about to enter our private keys. To avoid these kund of issues, Its safe to bookmark the real website of mew, use metamask, ledger nano to make your account more secure, double checking the URL of the website before entering your private key, Avoid using public computers and pc use your own device or gadgets if possible, protect your private keys and don't let anyone to see and have it, avoid clicking a suggested link mentioned somewhere else that proclaiming that its shortcut to myetherwalletmyetherwallet and lastly have a safe and secure browsing.Someone posted a news on a telegram channel that was somehow coming from cointelegraph, saying that MEW had a new vulnerability which hackers could take advantage of, at first view one wouldn't tell it's a scam, especially me with a dusty laptop monitor, the l from the link was with a dot under it, also the link for MEW from that post had a dot under the e letter.

we need to always double check on every site especially the sites that keep our coins like mew and I heard that many people get stolen their tokens and they cannot get their tokens back. I think if somehow our account in mew is getting hack, we can change the private keys and move the balance into the other mew wallet because I remember that I already discuss this with my friends and we agree that we need to move it fast before our tokens lost forever.
We should really be sensible to our actions and bookmarking legit websites url isnt really that too hard yet it do only consume seconds in our time. Always be vigilant into the sites on where we do input important informations like private keys and other related stuffs that being used to access our wallet addresses.
