MyEtherWallet Warns Of Another Hack

MyEtherWallet (MEW) is again at the center of a significant security breach and has warned its users using Hola to move their funds. This is the 2nd security breach of the popular Ethereum wallet in the last 3 months.

Hackers have compromised Hola, a free VPN service, for a five-hour period that may have left Google Chrome users’ crypto wallets compromised for merely having installed the Hola extension.
