It seems that someone has successfully hacked MyEtherWallet and has stolen some peoples tokens. Mine seem to be fine for now.
Has anyone lost any Etherium or tokens and does anyone know how the hack was perpetrated?
This is potentially a major security risk because we all know that keeping coins on an exchange is a high risk. Now using MyEtherWallet may also be risky.
It was related to MEW's DNS being highjacked. So if you used MEW during the time with that hacked DNS then you're screwed. Otherwise, you're fine.

I just checked my MEW thru etherscan and my tokens are still intact, but I wouldn't login to my account yet before everything is safe. Hackers really target crypto now more than ever, so be safe everyone because it looks like they are really one step ahead of us. Just be careful on clicking websites that might be a phishing site, or get a hardware wallet if you are holding a lot of tokens worth thousands of even millions USD.
