Hello Steemit Community!

if you're using Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) and try to access MyEtherWallet website, it seems these DNS servers are resolving the domain to a phishing server with an invalid certificate and they are stealing your private keys and withdraw your funds.

This kind of attacks is nothing new, happened before with this kind of websites and will happen again because of the vulnerability of centralized websites.
