[WARNING] MyEtherWallet.com highjacked on Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

in #hack6 years ago

Do not use myetherwallet.com if you're using Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) at this moment, it seems these DNS servers are resolving the domain to a bad server that CAN steal your keys!

Always make sure your connection is secure "green" in your browser!

LE: Anyone that got their keys into this has had their funds transferred to http://etherscan.io/address/0x1d50588C0aa11959A5c28831ce3DC5F1D3120d29

Edit2: 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.

Thanks !!
