Popular Ethereum wallet interface 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 https://etherscan.io/, which means you do not have to log into MyEtherwallet.com anymore, so you will avoid the hidden potential risk here.

I haven't heard the news yet, but I really felt sorry for those people who lost their money/coins due to hacking. I hope those victims will serve the justice they deserve, it's really hard to earn money especially if you're in 3rd world country like me. That's why I am always checking the site that I am visiting which is possible for the attacks/malicious software that can steal our data especially our bank account details. We should be aware of our actions too don't download suspicious files or whatever 3rd party application that can lead to penetration of our private files. Anyway, thank you for informing use brother.
