WARNING!

The entire ETH number is hacked to the address wallet:

A total of more than 24,000 ETH were stolen

This is not an attacked MEW, this is DNS 8.8.8.8 (Google Public DNS) attack, attack to send you to another IP address (but the same url). The TLS / SSL certificate does not match the url, which means that the site has the address myetherwallet [dot] com does not have a TLS / SSL certificate for that url (because it is pointing to another server).

Always check the green text of MyEtherWallet Inc [US].
