Hackers is very active when it comes in money, especially bank accounts and can also be your bitcoin wallet. You're the one who's liable of your private key to keep your wallet safe. Much better if you turn off your location on your gadgets to avoid tracking your device.

Offline wallet is the most secure, online comes with a lot of risks but at least most can enable 2 step verification where they send a unique code to your phone.

can they hack into our wallet. There are many professional hackers out there. What are the chances? Also what is the safest way to safeguard ourself?
Think they can't hack it. There are many wallets that have high security. I have know 2 trusted wallets and I use it to store my bitcoins. Coinbase and Coins.ph are really trusted wallets and have high security that can make your bitcoins safe. Online wallets are the most unsafe of all the wallets for the simple reason that you are not the only person that holds your private keys, even if some services argue they do not know your private keys you have no way to know that for sure, so it is better to keep your holdings of bitcoin in desktop wallets, cold wallets, paper wallets or hardware wallets, that way the chance to get hacked is lower. Some online wallet providers loot out the bitcoins from the wallet and left but not all the people are doing that. If you are more security concern person you can find the desktop wallet that will give you the option to save the wallet seed, private key and it will give you the option to sweep the private key too. Whenever you are using the online wallet please get into the by the correct URL only. Don't google it. |

Yes hackers can hack your bitcoin wallet if you do not hold the private keys or you will give out your private keys online. So better keep it yourself and if you have a lot of bitcoin store it in cold wallet to be very safe.

I think the better way to do is you have to transfer it into your currency so that whatever may happens it has already a value and you can spend on. We should not wait too much for the growth if you think it's enough then transfer it to your wallet and make use of it before discrepancies may occur. The earlier the better! |

it is very possible, one of the ways that often a hacker is there by sending a phishing link to us. so we should be more be careful of unclear links.

My answer will be maybe. Because I think that many wallets don't have high security and many hackers may able to hack all of the accounts their. But there are also many trusted wallets that for sure it can't be hack. |

Yes, It is Possible That bitcoin Wallet could be hacked. Hackers are smart and if they really want to hack something they will do their best just to get what they want. Bitcoin wallet literally has money inside so hackers will really have interest into it. Because of Money  and hackers are always free on any networks. |

If you have a personal wallet or one on the exchange it is 100% possible to be hacked by hackers so make sure you have good best practices in place (prevention of being compromised with your account or technology used).

It is better to have a hardware wallet rather than storing bitcoin on exchanges because that is risky since it has a lot money in that place then it is very attractive to the hackers to break down and steal some money so if you want to be safe then you better investing in security and buying some good and real hardware wallet out there. |

If you want to cash out that is fine but many people are invested in bitcoin for the long term so it is obvious they will prefer to keep their bitcoin instead to try to convert their cash once again to bitcoin, besides there are many ways criminals can steal your cash or money on bank accounts, compared to that a paper wallet or a hardware wallet seems a lot safer than cashing out. |

I think it can be hacked and there are lot of professional hacker that can really hack your wallet. In addition to that, there is a possibility that your wallet can be hacked and you should put your private key and password in safeplace and try put 2fa to your wallet to make it more secure. |

Well, it always run in my mind but I think as long as you dont lose you gadget or gave you BTC address in everyone you want to share I think it is safe, unless some people in associates wants to get some of your bitcoin and he has a enough knowledge to perform I suggest that as soon as possible do some preventive acts for you to be safe and sound. |

Anything can be hacked. The word you are actually looking for is called "persitance". |

anticipation that I do on the computer to prevent hacked.
I installed internet security with antivirus. do not surf on many web, or do not install the app before it is tracked with antivirus. that's what I usually do. just prevention.

Not always intruders try to steal the Pvt keys by Malwares but sometime there is inside job. I will recommend to keep a hardware wallet or at least your Pvt keys on a offshore PC. |

Phishing links are everywhere especially if it is a site you need to login to access an online wallet or something similar, that is why it is important to have the bookmark ready, that way you will not be deceived into clicking a phishing link or you could type the URL yourself, but you need to be careful, since some hackers create websites with a similar URL with typos to get the passwords and keys of people. |
