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?

Yes if he has access to your private keys..he does not even need to be an hacker to steal the btc..
That is why you must take every measure to safeguard your seed words or private keys

Not only private keys can give access to your wallet. There are many different ways to steal money. It's not necessary to break something. You can simply deceive or find out information by special spy programs

I think if you use good wallet and strong security, your Bitcoin will be safe. Smiley

Whatever strong security you have , they are professional they still can do it, the better way double or even triple protection by your mobile, email and by taking backup.
More or less that is possible. I think the better way to do is you have to transfer it into your currency so that whatever may happen it has already a value and you can spend on. Don't 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.
I will support you in this regard .no matter how much high security is offered by bitcoins everything in the world of internet is vulnerable to hacking and same is the case with bitcoins it is better to convert your digital currency into fiats as soon as possible you have reached your reckoned price being too much greedy could ultimately be very destructive.

I think even professional hackers can't hack our wallet because it has private that you're the only who knows it and all online wallet is very high in security so I think they can't hack it. In addition to that, the best way to keep your bitcoin safe is dont ever share your private key and password to anybody.
The private key can be cracked by professional hackers. I think there is nothing impossible for professional hackers. I have read many articles and also many news channels. They can crack almost any security. But until now i have not yet came across such accident  perhaps it might have been happened in the past. Its better to be safe on our side and try using muti signature wallets.

Yes, your wallet can be hacked by professional hackers out there.
To be safe try to use a multi signature wallet  and also try not to expose your actual available balance. We can't actually find any such hacker so its good to be safe on our side.

Yeah hackers are very smart and well trained, but if you choose the right and safe wallet, at least it can reduce the risk of your bitcoin stolen by hackers. You can use additional security like 2fa (sms verify, google auth, etc) with it then you can minimize the possibility of hacked, and based on my experience I have never experienced hacked my wallet

the only way that hackers are using nowadays to hack bitcoin wallets is by your private key, that is why some wallets recommend to write your key on a paper or somewhere else that it can be safe. Just with your private key someone can steal your money, doesnt have to be a hacker.
Most common scams are pishing emails that are sent as "Blockchain Transactions" like this: "XX Has sent you XX amount of BTC" and the email looks trustable so you click on it and when you login it request you to put your private key.. And that is the way that most people are scammed.
So be carefull guys.

 This is not impossible because The safest way To protect yourself is To use 2fa security, emai and passward will be kept anonymous. I think it should be kept open all the time. there is no scope to hack if you keep the wallet open.

Yes, of someone gets your private key then anyone can steal your bitcoins and their is no need of a hacker there, but hackers are called hackers as they can crack or steal directly your private key. I think, there are such accidents about cracking the private key of a user and stealing a huge amount of bitcoins. Its better to store a large amount of bitcoins is a hardware wallet.

If you are that afraid that some very clever hackers might hack your wallet, then go for a cold wallet. That is yours and yours alone. I have not heard of Bitcoin hacking though. ETH hacking, there were several instances already. I hope no more hacking in the future. It always involves millions of dollars wasted.
No one has hacked bitcoin, that is really bad description of what happened, exchanges and online bitcoin wallets have been hacked and then the private keys of their customers, with that the hacker has complete control of the money of everyone and then they steal that money, this is why keeping any money in an online service is a bad proposition.

Yes it can ,and it already has occurred many times. It would be better for you if you use a hardware wallet,or a cold storage wallet or a multi Sig wallet. These 3  Rae the best wallet and the chances to hack this wallet are less unless and until you do some stupid mistakes.

it is very possible if your security measure is too low than the original standards. They can easily steal your password by cracking your password. So it is better if you add some securities to your account like adding 2fa security thru sms verification, google authentication. By using 2fa it lessen the chance of your account to be hacked.

Well, I think so. If hackers are great in this case, I think that's what they can do. But if your defense is also great, I do not think there will be a problem in this regard. But still there is a possibility.

I think hackers can hack you if you dont have enough security. So if you want stay safe make your security hard. enable F2A security and others system . Dont Share your email and password to any one.

to save our wallet from the hacker, we can do prevent by saving into a place that only us will know and don't share into public our wallet address or talk too much about it. the less people know about our wallet, the better we can save the wallet. just remember to save the wallet into a secret place and save the private keys in the save place too.

Bitcoin wallets developers try to make them secure but chances of hackers hacking some of them are always there. This has been the case with the online wallet blockchain.info which still has the biggest number of hacks in history of bitcoin wallets. That is because you have to log in to their website every time you have to check your account or you want to transact bitcoins. If you use Electrum desktop wallet you don't need any website to log in , in order to make transactions, you do them directly from the GUI interface of Electrum. If you want the best security then you have to buy a hardware wallet.

No but you can use social engineering which is kinda like hacking and can be considered hacking but it's hacking without a computer. Basically tricking the target into giving up the credentials you need. Like a phishing site for example. That would probably be your best bet. Unless you not secure and have your key or something on your oc and someone gains access. But then they would have to know you own bitcoins.
Basically the security provision on you wallet site is for security measure, so hacking of bitcoin wallet is possible may at a very difficult level.
Just imagine some one tricking you to get ur details and loging into your wallet and performing transaction there that is hacking also.
So I totally agree with you on that.

This is still a crucial issue in bitcoin, no hackers are not able to break the gap system so that the security of every wallet should be developed every year, yesterday we are facing phishing malware attacks and this proves that security depends on our own ability. In this case I need security from the government to take responsibility,

The basic steps for securing my wallet account is by, Securing an email account, using unique and powerful passwords and enabling two-factor authentication
