-snip-

this is an extremely misleading article that you shared here and forgot to share the link to source of it.
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/032615/can-bitcoin-be-hacked.asp

first of all the "recent network security" that author is talking about are the hacks that happened years ago in 2014 and 2013 and none of them have anything to do with "network security" but with "third party security", exchanges such as Bitstamp hack in 2014, Mt. Gox scam in 2013, Bitcoinica in 2012. these are all third parties that scammed people and most probably not even hacked. even if they are hacked, it is not "network security" at all.

Has anyone heard of a hack or attempted hack on Bitcoin

i think the meaning of hack here is stolen from his wallet because i heard the news and even news from here which saying that his bitcoin is stolen by someone. i think its because from himself which is not careful to save the private keys and let other people know how much bitcoin he have. so this will attract other people to trying to steal his bitcoin and some of them is success to steal. we need to be careful to keep our private keys from other people and we need to save in the hidden place.

Bitcoin has never been hacked, forged, copied, or anything like that.

If you're talking about the main Bitcoin being hacked not the ones in each people wallet then i think there aren't so many people who dare to try hack bitcoin, hacker know that it's almost impossible to hack bitcoin although theres a slight chance maybe 20% out of 100 but they know that it will take a lot of money and it will gonna take a long time before they can hack bitcoin because bitcoin itself is a server each bitcoin is a system that almost every seconds it's encryption code change without any pattern. But i'm still not saying that bitcoin can be hacked but for me bitcoin really is ssecure..

I think this is old news, there have been so many attacks on Bitcoin in recent years this is the reason why so many forks has been happening, just be sure that you keep your wallet secured and your private keys safe while developers are doing their best to protect bitcoin.

The local service here has the aspect of a wallet so there is a potential for it to be hacked.

There maybe attempts to hack bitcoin and the block chain technology in the past but all was unsuccessful. The block chain technology that bitcoin is using is impossible to be hacked since it doesn't have one particular server, every users are included in the network that is why it is too difficult for hackers to compromise it. There were hacking incidents that occur on several exchanges and bitcoin were stolen from its owners, but we can't consider that as a successful attack to bitcoin.

maybe you mean wallets hacked, bitcoin per se is unhackable, with its sophisticated algorithm, it is impossible to hack the whole main frame of bitcoin itself, im sure with this huge assets, they have great wall for any hacker to penetrate bitcoin system, just trust the system.

I never heard anyone claiming that their bitcoin get hacked some instances where people failed to remember their authentication code that's why they bitcoin were gone but hacking bitcoin account issues so far is not a problem today. The wallet we are currently using are good storage. But just in case I didn't keep much of my bitcoin I always convert them and transfer to my bank account for assurance.

Rising value of bitcoin has increased a risk of getting bitcoin wallet hacked.  bitcoin has its own security system blockchain which is almost difficult to break or hack. To hack this blockchain  one has to hack more than 51% bitcoin using terminals spread all over the world. Instead these hackers hacks the mobile wallet . Security of mobile wallet lies in the hand of its user. Its duty of the owner to use only recommended mobile wallet. Wallet has to be secured with updated firmware and antivirus. Hackers are active all the time, we must not share our passwords, private keys with anyone. Do not click on any unknown links or open unknown emails. Every year many mobile wallets gets hacked and bitcoins get stolen.

For something with this kind of value, every hackers would love to get it for free and it is really prone to hacking attempts. The blockchain technology already proved that it is un hack-able that is why hackers are targeting exchanges and wallets. It is everyone's responsibility to secure their own wallet to avoid Bitcoin being stolen.

I haven't heard about it, could you link me to your reference in form of an article? I suspect that the coins are not hacked because of the way Bitcoin is build but actually a human mistake. A lot of people store their Bitcoins in web-wallets that are not properly configured and don't use the recommend security measures. To everyone that recognizes themselves, please do proper research to the capabilities Bitcoin has. Web-wallets are not the only way to store your Bitcoin and if you decide to use a web-wallet make sure that you use good security measures.
