MyEtherWallet made the news yesterday for being compromised at a DNS level (Google / Amazon DNS - via BGP leak). This video covers what happened and how it may affect you. I also talk about the basics of how MEW works and how funds are stored.

I'm not a professional financial adviser and you should always do your own research. I may hold the cryptocurrencies talked about in the video.

After hacking, MEW has returned to normal. Users are required to remain cautious, and make sure that the information obtained comes from a trusted source.

MyCrypto, a MEW rival service has also confirmed the DNS hack. The platform posted a tweet announcing that MEW user accounts have been compromised. In what seems can be seen less than subtle schadenfreude, the MyCrypto team is giving out all the details of the problem. It will be recalled that a bitter feud between MEW founders is what led to the breakaway of MyCrypto from MEW.
That’s great video post in right time. Thanks for this post. Really helpful. @boxmining

My heart goes out to all those who lost funds on the DNS server hack. Truly must feel awful and out of their control. I had retweeted the news as soon as I read it and forwarded to guys with big twitter followings in hope to mitigate the damage. Not much else that could have been done at that stage :(
Oh geez, those poor souls who lost there precious ether!
MEW (My ETHER Wallet) has been restored! :)
Thank you Michael for the very detailed and helpful post!
Safety for all. More info on Reddit:
Please note:
What your EtherWallet DNS Hack. Does it affect you / safe to use ,,,yes I safe to use my account,, thanks for sharing with this video....
Resteem done
Wonderful video
thanks for sharing
This isn't the first time the dns record has been hijacked and it won't be the last this is why I prefer running wallet software offline although combined with a hardware wallet mew is pretty secure.
Thanks for posting. I have mycrypto and was worried this would be compromised but it is not
Great Vid
Hey boxmining. If you get to read this could you do me a favour? Larksong has had nothing but trouble when uploading his videos to Dtube. As yours always seem to work, perhaps you can give him some advice. He gave up today and just used youtube on steemit, which I am sure is not the way he wants to go.
You are two of my favorite guys online, and if you could give him a hand would be incredible (perhaps using a different format ect...)
Big thanks!
