MyEtherWallet (MEW) told Cointelegraph that rumors about hacking are "FUD" and "a stupid lie. "

Referring to tweets from BLUE, MEW said Cointelegraph:

"MEW is not compromised .. They [BLUE] mischievously propagate the FUD to harm the others, mischievously propagate the FUD to raise the price of their own coin, or simply they are incompetent and confused.No matter, it's a stupid lie. "

Several of the tweets of BLUE TODAY have already been removed, but a screenshot of the original tweets has been published in a reddit post, which has since marked the story as "False".
