No it's not , Bitcoin addresses are meant to be exchanged between different users so each one is able to send bitcoins to another one . It's the private keys that you are not supposed to share with anyone .

Note : Addresses that you should share starts with either 1 or 3 , private keys start with L or K or 5

I just wondering about this article https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/19rnge/security_test_hack_my_brain_wallets_with_simple/
And maybe its possible to crack our wallet addresses.

Brainwallets are generated from passphrase and it is weak due to the generation method. People tend to use a common passphrase and dictionary attacks can be used to crack them. Address generated by wallets are much more random with a very high entropy, making it impossible to crack.

If you don't share your address, how will you accept payments in BTC? but when you say your main online wallet, is that like blockchain.info ? If it is then you should know that online wallets are not completely safe and they can get hacked. Read more on desktop wallets and cold storage if you're worried about security of your coins.

Thanks for the reply and i think i will generate a new public wallet addresses from my vault.
There is a selection that you can generate public and non public wallet address from coinbase vault..
Maybe this solution can save my bitcoins from hackers...

If you rely on a service, there is nothing you can do to prevent them getting hacked. If you want to be in charge of your coins, get a local wallet not an account.

Coinbase means you are doing it online...

Do you understand what an "offline" wallet is?

Bitcoin addresses are used for making transactions and its not possible to make transactions without knowing bitcoin address.
Though bitcoin provides safety and privacy. And also, knowing someone's wallet address isn't always enough for hacking.
But, there are some experienced people sitting in some part of the world which can hack almost everything. And so can be the case here. But, it's got very less chances and these cases have been found very very rarely. But, still hackers are developing their own new technique on every other day. So, it is just advised to only give your wallet address to person with whom you transact. Don't give address to someone unknown without any reason.

every bitcoin address that has ever sent or received a transaction is already public its called the blockchain

and no there isnt a way to hack a wallet with its bitcoin address (even an online wallet)  to hack a wallet you need either username and password (online wallets) or the passphrase and/or the private key (offline wallets)

bitcoin addresses are there to be shared and already public as soon as you use them
