MyEtherWallet has succumbed to a DNS hijacking attack that allowed a hacker to redirect users to a malicious version of the website.
The MEW confirmed that this was not their fault and was trying their best to identify the attacked server to fix things as soon as possible.
This topic is rapidly spreading on the Reddit forum. The attacking IP address seems to come from Russia. At the time of writing, 25,000 ETH ($ 17 million) has been stolen.
It is highly recommend that everyone be careful when using the
MEW wallet and follow the security instructions by MEW wallet. In other words, you are advised to integrate Metamask into login and make direct transactions via Metamask. If you want to check your balance, visit

Rothscoin team.It is really unfortunate for anyone using it, the problem with etehreum users is that they don't have option to keep their funds in a hardware or paper wallet such is the case with bitcoin, and this is why most people avoid online wallets because they are vulnerable to attacks and hacks, that is why all the hacking that has been going on the cryptocurrency is all concerning altcoins, because their network does not have the same level of security as the bitcoin does.
