Hackers can crack wallets through the vulnerabilities of cellular networks.

Experts have established that bitcoin-wallet can be hacked through vulnerabilities, which are currently available in cellular networks. This is a vulnerability in the networks SS7. During the experiment, specialists managed to get access to a pre-created bitcoin-wallet in Coinbase. To date, this exchange is used by about 9 million people.

Using the detected vulnerability, experts managed to intercept SMS messages through which users are sent passwords for one-time use. After that, the user's email address was determined, through which you can access the funds stored on your wallet.

However, at present, mobile operators are working closely with a group of consulting companies in the field of security of telecommunications systems and protection against burglaries, including electronic bitcoins, for storing crypto-currencies.

As long as you use anti virus and you don't visit suspect websites and download/install suspicious programs, you should be safe, but make sure you don't brag about your Bitcoin savings either, people are really cunning.

Yes it can be hacked easily. Now days its easy to hack anything and break the security .Hackers can hack your country and stole your data even the password you save on your browser. They can steal it so its better not to store your passwords on your remember list. Online wallet can be hacked but the only wallet that cannot hacked is hardware wallet. There's no internet required for it so you can use hardware wallets.

Wallets are created by professional programmers and in my opinion it cannot be just easily hacked. The only reason for wallets to be hacked is just by revealing your self from phishing sites that are created by hackers.

It's not about the code.
It is about the user. If you safe your private key where hackers can come don't be surprised too see you coins gone some day. My advice is to buy a different pc just for your crypto transactions.  No internet, no download but just crypto.

Written here of course a lot, I believe that hackers can hack everything. But, if you make excellent security through authentication via a mobile phone, a secret phrase, a double password - everything will be fine with you

There more chances of hacking if you are storing your bitcoins in online wallets and exchanges always keep in mind not to store your bitcoins on exchanges as there are more chances for you to loose bitcoins, not all wallets can be hacked, paper wallets, hardware wallets,USB wallets and Trezor are the safest wallets available in the crypto market. For buying and selling of bitcoins you need to use good reputed exchanges or else you might loose your bitcoins. Hackers can hack anything be it bitcoin wallets or the normal banking system when hackers attack banks the bankers will not be able to do anything, they might loose their customers trust and databases. To keep your bitcoins safe you need to store your bitcoins in cold storage's like USB devices, paper wallets and hardware wallets.

Yes sure it can, a friend of mine got his wallet hacked and lost 5 Bitcoins because he hasn't secured enough  his wallet, so you have to pay attention and keep your wallet as safe as possible.

It's technically possible when you use your wallet on an infected computer or when you sign in on a phishing web-wallet. If you want the best protection then you should use two devices. One that you use to create the wallet and to sign offline transactions and one that you use as a watch-only wallet to create unsigned transactions. This is considered as the safest way to hold and make Bitcoin transactions. If you just want to hold Bitcoins, then the easiest and safest way would be a paper wallet. This is a printed paper with your wallet details on it, you could import the private key on it to an online wallet to make transactions.

The security that many people doubt about bitcoin is because of their own user error that does not apply all the security facilities provided from bitcoin wallet providers while others are not careful users if they have entered the phishing web so they make a mistake by logging in and providing a password on the web. Those two things are pure mistakes from bitcoin users so no one can take responsibility for the losses that befall them while their hackers have fun with what they enjoy from the mistakes of these users.

If you have a good wallet security system the hackers will have trouble if want to break the wallet we have, but the hackers could have known the password we have from the email, and this is only one way of many ways that hackers can do, they are very reliable to breaking anything. so we should really attention to our wallet security, especially if we have a lot of bitcoin in our wallet. my advice we can make Bitcoin Paper Wallets, the type of Bitcoin wallet in offline form so it is very safe from hacker attacks.

Yes, Bitcoin wallet has a chance to be hacked especially when the account of the user is not secured. It would be easier to the hacker to get it.

Yes, it is, even the large company is vulnerable to cyber attack or hacking lots of company loss millions because of cyber attack.
But there are many ways to secure your wallet some of them are:

  • Always change your bitcoin wallet password
  • Always change your email password
  • Secure your transactions, you should know if the person you transact with is clean and trustworthy
  • Don't be greedy instead be smart
  • Be aware of the fishing websites
  • Have a strong password

I agree with you, for me why should bitcoin, because for very long-term investmen, bitcoin is extreely suitabl, why so, it is because the bitcoin prices are changing or erratic, so it can be a challenge for the holder.met

Yes there is big chances that a professional hacker can hack btc wallet. So, better to secure you bitcoin and use the most trusted and safest wallet ever.
It is right because now the bitcoin is the best and the safe currency to hold for the long time, I use the bitcoin and I know the value and the price of the bitcoin will increase more and this will give the people the high profit and the best time, I like the bitcoin and try to increase the value and the price of the bitcoin more and more I hope the bright future will be given if you will use the blockchain wallet for the security.
