How to protect your wallet against hacking
from Twitter MyEtherWallet says that the problem is not the company and the operator of the DNS.
the Hacking was exposed to clients using the DNS server to Google Public (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4). We highly recommend you to switch to Cloudfare.
Couple of DNS servers were hijacked to resolve users to be redirected to a phishing site. This is not on side, we are in the process of verifying which servers to get it resolved asap.

In the subject on Reddit devoted to hacking wallet, users told to redirect to a phishing site. According to the user with the nickname rotistain, funds went to other wallets within 10 seconds.
at the entrance to MyEtherWallet I noticed a notification stating that the site's security certificate is invalid. In this moment there was a notice about sending the money from my purse at the expense 0x1d50588C0aa11959A5c28831ce3DC5f1d3120d29. I couldn't even understand what happened.
Director General MyEtherWallet Cosala Hemchandra told the publication that the servers have recovered, however, advised users not to use wallets.
This is a really big problem. We live in a world where even the most secure vaults hacked. I'm sorry to say. I hope the team MyEtherWallet will be able to convince users to use hardware wallets and a local version of the repository.
