i think most of hacked issue on MEW is because of the users itself
i use MEW from the beginning to store my ethereum and ethereum tokens i have no big issue with MEW
because i keep my private key and json file in the safest place
Absolutely right its up to the owner the security of his/her wallet. Be vigilant always aw hackers will find ways to hack. Beware of phishing sites or any addons or extension you are downloading.
