[WARNING] MyEtherWallet.com highjacked on Google Public DNS

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

MEW suddenly switched from the CloudFront CDN to one Russian IP address (46.161.42.42). I'd be careful until more information is revealed.

It has actually been hacked.
This is the hacker's address.: https://etherscan.io/address/0x1d50588C0aa11959A5c28831ce3DC5F1D3120d29

Result of DNS highjacked:

  • 178 trx (+1 pending at the moment)
  • $149,201.60 ( $690.57/ETH)

Google Public DNS is now resolving the correct ips. Keep in mind the ttl of the old records was some 9000 seconds, we can expect some ISP's to cache that for their clients.

Again, please make sure the SSL Connection is always green when you interact with any website.

Upvote and resteem.

Be careful! Tell your friends!
