This is not possible because if there are hundreds of millions of dollars stolen by hackers, Bitcoin developers have prevented this from happening by the Bitcoin security system.
Yep! The security provided by bitcoins is of next level. No one can dare hack bitcoins. We have experienced it before that even hacking bitcoin system is useless. So it’s out of question that bitcoins can get hacked if you are following standard security protocols. But if you are fool enough to provide personal info on scam sites, you can go bankrupt in that case.

This topic is like a joke for the wallets owners . Actually here in my opinion there is still chances to get hacked if we are using third party walkers or we are sharing our information with everyone because if hacker can get even single thing then he can easily trace us that where where we made accounts , and if he can access one of them.then probably he can enter in our wallet with low security ( in case of third party ) .
But if you are in the official wallets then I don't think that there is any chance of the hacking even the hacker get cracked the password because there he will need to approve at the email and also if we have the secondary password then I don't think that there is any chance to access the fun even after the access of the wallet .
This is why it is important to use different password for each service you use online, you need to have a different password for your email, facebook and if you choose to, a different password  for an online wallet, that way if a hacker gets access to one of your passwords the damage that he can do to you is limited, and cannot get every single detail from you or your bitcoins.

Even the Ethereum network before with a strong security system had been hacked before, it is also possible that Bitcoin wallet can be hacked. There are lots of good hackers nowadays. We need to be extra careful. If possible, diversify your Bitcoin into different wallets and also have hard wallets. Through that, if ever the hackers hacked your wallet, they can't have all of your Bitcoin.

All could happen. So my advice keep either the bitcoin or coin you have in your personal wallet. Not in exchange. Because if we keep private. We hold 100% of the coin. Different when saving in exchange
Of course if you keep it in exchange it will certainly be very risky, besides not having more security, it is very possible that the exchange could be a scam, if you have many bitcoins it would be advisable if you use safe wallets like electrum, bitcoin core, blockchain, etc

Actually this could happen to anyone wallet has been hacked. It is best to use any wallet that is safe and secured yes electrum Ive been using this upto now. It is advisable just kept all the private key so that anyone cant access it.

Based on my research multi signature not only solve the problem you can use all the security messure like 2 factor authentication for your wallet and be sure about your antivirus try to update timely and clear browsing history all other cookies before accessing web wallet.

Unless you have your private keys safe,bitcoins in your wallet could not be hacked.Thats why it is always adviced to store your bitcoins in your pc wallet and not in any exchanges as it might be compromised.It is due to this security measure bitcoins are still mostly stored in wallets otherwise,no bitcoins could ever be saved.

It could be more helpful if he has a 2FA and a strong password that is changed every week or months. Even a professional hacker wouldn't be able to decipher your password, unless they have uploaded some virus to your computer that records your keystroke (keylogger).

I myself store my bitcoin in c-cex exchange, but the amount is not too big, because I use it for trading. And I did not get any problems, including hacking but if you have a lot of bitcoin and you want to hold it for the future and want security, you should use a wallet that has more security like 2fa

Its possible for sure if you don't take the measures to safeguard your digital assets. Its as easy as sending a word file embedded with a virus to you. If you are using a bitcoin wallet on a computer, you should always set a strong password with many prefixes to reduce the chance of getting hacked as it may get cracked after being stolen. Secondly make sure you have a strong antivirus on your computer. Also its not advised to store bitcoin on online wallets as its easier to get stolen. If so you are using an online wallet, always use 2FA or Authy to secure yourself. Lastly if you want absoulte protection, use a hardware wallet such as trezor or ledger.

I think it's very reckless to keep all your bitcoins in exchange, you should consider the security to choose where to store bitcoin, because there are many cases of theft, scam, hack, etc in bitcoin. So you should keep your bitcoin in a safe place like a desktop wallet with good security

Hard wallets like nano and trezor are also effective for bitcoin storage, there is no 100% security in the anonymous world because people can make mistakes personally, desktop wallets can also be hacked through phishing software into the computer's operating system. In this case we need the help of institutions/financial institutions that cannot be given by bitcoin.

We need to be extra careful. If possible, diversify your Bitcoin into different wallets and also have hard wallets. Through that, if ever the hackers hacked your wallet, they can't have all of your Bitcoin.

It is not that strong because the Ethereum network is an open source one, which can be edit or is too vulnerable to hackers. Everything in the internet could be hack as lonh as there will be a hole to penetrate the whole system, and we can't avoid to have this few bugs in the system, that is why checking it always and maintaining the security is a must.

Though, professional hackers could make or find a bug out of nowhere so they could start this hacking activities. We can't see them coming to be honest, all we have to do is to secure our money into something we know it safe.

There are many ways to attack an account.
Dont use computer rentals, there might be bugs that are installed there which could copy what you input specially your log in account.
Dont just register anywhere specially those who have affiliates. This I have experienced already and it sucks I cannot get back my account, good thing it doesnt have the same password with my other log in's.
The best way could be just seeds to log in.
Even if an online shop is copying what you are typing they wont know you are using a registered account already because they are just words.

The next era of attacks are language based attacks, that will be done through EVM. If a solidity program does not behave in an expected manner a lot of attacks like buffer overflow (bof) attacks or others can be done. But there are some assumptions here too....how easy access is given by the owner to the attacker of the system having wallet.......

Yes it is really possible if your using a web wallet there are a lot of ways for the hackers to hack your account even if they dont know your password or private key there are always a danger in the internet but there are only a very low chance.

As far as online I guess I would go with blockchain.Info. the only thing I don't like about them is if you're going from one computer to another and are constantly hitting a new computer that you haven't used before then logging in could be a pain in the butt because I'll have to confirm your email address and your actually logging in with this long your marriage alphanumeric ID that has nothing to do with blockchain itself.

Yes I am sure that way it can minimize hackers to hack our wallets but did not rule out hackers can also break the protection of the wallet because something made by man that no one is perfect. certainly have gap though it is very small.
