Users report hacking of MyEtherWallet’s DNS servers
Reddit users report hacking of the DNS servers of the popular Ethereum wallet MyEtherWallet.com website. In the near future, it is recommended to refrain from using the MyEtherWallet website.
At the moment, it is known that some users are redirected to an IP address belonging to St. Petersburg instead of the usual IP Cloudfront. Hacker site contains invalid SSL certificate.

The stolen funds are allegedly being forwarded to this address, which currently contains around 215 ETH..
The attack is also associated with the following address, which contains 298 ETH.
The MyEtherWallet team on Twitter confirmed the attack on DNS servers and redirecting users to a phishing site. At the same time, they claim that the problem was not on their side..
Earlier, the EtherDelta decentralized cryptocurrency exchange underwent a similar attack.
Currently, funds from one of the above addresses are forwarded to another address, which already contains more than 24,000 ETH or more than $ 17 million at the current rate.
Not only MyEtherWallet users, but also ICO Indahash participants, who also suffered as a result of the hacking of DNS servers, leave their messages in the comments. Earlier comments on this address indicate that it was used to conduct a fake Telegram ICO, as well as, apparently, in other phishing schemes. The first transactions, like complaints, began to arrive at this address about three months ago.
