MythMyEtherWallet warns users of the hacked Hola application
Hola is a free VPN service with over 8 million installs and a 4.9 star rating.
Specifically, the MEW side posted the following on their Twitter:
"URGENT! If you have installed the Hola extension on a Chrome browser and have used your MEW wallet for the last 24 hours, please immediately transfer your funds to a brand new account!
We have received reports that Hola has been hacked for about 5 hours and this attack is to record your activity on MEW. "
I think myetherwallet is not safe, because recently MEW was frequently visited by hackers and the incident four months ago had total 216 ETH stolen after some DNS servers were taken over and controlled. That leads the user to a fake website
Its not totally MEW is unsafe because there are several kind of attacks like indirection to users or malware or phishing or any other just like extension. Those are the things we should keep an eye on because if you arent aware on the security on what you are using like browsers or having an infected PC. You would most likely lose up tokens or coins inside your MEW. I cant say MEW is unsafe wallet it would just be compromise once your private keys would be exposed into other people or simply on hackers.
