I have seen several messages in different telegram groups today warning people to avoid My Ether Wallet (MEW) for the time being.
A Reddit user known as Rotistain posted a thread today detailing some issues he's had, and how he believes he's been hacked.
In summary, Rotistain noticed that the MEW website had an invalid connection certificate in the corner. He checked the address to make sure he was on the correct website, and confirmed that he was.
Despite his gut instinct telling him not to, Rotistain logged in to his wallet and within 10 seconds, a transaction was made sending his entire ETH balance to another wallet.
I have not been able to find out any other information at the moment, but there are several reports of issues with Google DNS. If you are using MEW, please do not log in for the time being. If there is a hack ongoing, logging in will grant access to your funds.

Thanks. I just read about this on twitter. If your using the Ledger Nano S your fine. They posted from their main twitter handle stating as such. People get an hardware wallet it's worth it, especially if your using MEW.
