Myetherwallet is a safe wallet to store any kind of erc20 tokens. The only problem of this wallet is every month hackers attacked the wallet to steal ethereum and tokens, MYETHERWALLET should make an action about it.
Seeing this coming from a Hero member account, I'm shocked! MyEtherWallet has never been hacked as far as I know. If a user lands on a phishing site and enters his private key, how can this be the responsibility of the creator of myetherwallet?
then you are not aware of all latest news of crypto market .
we can ignore january hack allegation but 2 month back their DNS was redirecting to phishing site , if you say enter URL carefully then let me tell you even if you enter exact url then too that url was exposing private key of users .
MEW itself asked users not to use MEW for sometime . so login MEW with direct private key is never safe , i like MEW wallet . but will not take risk to login it with key .
i use ledger wallet or metamask with MEW .
Again, it was a DNS server hack not MEW platform hack.
I don't know the details of it, but I suppose this could happen to any domain. As far as I know, MEW's owners reacted fairly quickly, which is good. An additional browser extension like MetaMask (which is also recommended by the MEW) helps in these situations.
