CoinTelegraph.Com recently released an article regarding a statement made by https://www.myetherwallet.com about rumors that have been circulated over the last few weeks that the site had been hacked. The rumors appear to have been circulated by the 'Ethereum Blue' Team (a current ICO) on their Twitter Account. The image below shows some of the tweets that they sent out.
MEW (MyEtherWallet) responded with the following:
Now, keep in mind, some of the tweets have been deleted by BLUE, which points to them not being comfortable sticking by their stance, which gives reason to be wary about anything they're currently saying regarding this story. They also didn't provide additional, necessary detail or the details of why they believed what had happened did. That said, MEW sticks by their statement that there are not any known compromises at current time; they are a veteran team that has provided countless wallets to users of the Ethereum Blockchain; they have strong technical team and they have done what they can to confirm that no hack has occurred. Always be aware of sites you're visiting to the best of your ability, but also take things with a grain of salt. This is more important than ever, because News Inaccuracy is becoming more and more rampant by the day.
