MetaMask blacklist defeating MEW clones

MetaMask looking out for us


This is the screen you're greeted with when accessing one of the 3228+ sites contained in the MetaMask blacklist that contains domains that are similar to the myetherwallet.com domain name.

While I still recommend that people run MEW offline, this is a great service that helps new or careless users avoid entering their sensitive information into a potentially malicious site.

In addition to providing this service for free, MetaMask gives MEW 50% of the donations that are sent to the blacklist maintainers. MetaMask is working closely with tayvano from MEW to maintain both the black and whitelisted sites.

Recently, Firefox support has been added so more users can take advantage of this service.


Check out how to use MEW for cold storage which includes a link to my secure wallet guide!

Not surprised about phishing. This is what happens when you support the bastard state of Israel and its #cryptocurrency #cybersecurity
