Of course it is possible.  Heck even if you had paper wallet somebody can randomly get same private key and steal your coins along the way. Back to your question keep strong password on your metamask,  always double check to which wallet you are sending to as there are computer viruses that can switch what you copy and paste. Hacker can obtain the metamask files if they are good and this is why you want strong password.  If you are really paranoid go and buy hardware wallet for easy and secure solution.

Metamasc is known to everyone as an extension to the Chrome browser, which makes it easy to send transactions to the Ethereum network, setting Gas limit and Gas price in any volumes at its discretion. It is also known as the Metamask wallet, plug-in, etc., supporting the ERC20 standard. This means that you can send and receive not only the air, but also the tokens of smart contracts Ethereum

It does not give great security but always something. The best are the Tazor wallet. The question that you have, and if you have money to buy such an offline wallet.

Definitely there is a chance of being affected by hackers if you were attacked earlier. No matter which wallet you are using actually. To keep your wallet, my suggestions are:

  • Make a strong password
  • Don't share security points, Not even any forum (hackers are everywhere
  • Keep the backup of your private key securely

I wish you to keep your account safe.

Hackers can do everything they can to get what they want and hackers are always trying to find a gap in hacking our private keys, we'd better use a lot of security.

I’m sorry to hear that guy. As you know that everything which is connected with internet always brings us a big risk because on internet, nothing is secure. There is no doubt that there have a big amout of people using MEW because it’s much more secure than any other wallets. But it always never has a perfect safe in online wallet. Thus, although when our account is stolen which makes us definitely in bad mood, anyway we have to accept what happened to us.

Metamask can't be easily hacked because it's not a web wallet like MEW. Metamask is a chrome extension so it difficult to be hacked except when the owner is careless with his or her private key

your new couldn't be stolen on its own. mew only gives you access to your address by using the private key. So you had to give away your private key in order to get hacked

the possibility of being hacked is definitely the most common of the phishing web traps or you give your security key to others. stay cautious about using metamasks beware of web phishing and carelessness to not tell your security key to others

Any way there is nothing impossible for those hacker to do because they keep there eye everywhere but I still think it will be difficult for them to get into meta mask because it has high security rate.

very correct, it is true for now this is a very good metamask for its security than others, such as private key, and jason file, if in my opinion is still better metamask, so to hack hard, because the security is very high, my advice do not save the private key in the forlder without creating a password.

if you use Metamask but your wallet can be hacked, your computer may be infected with malware, phishing or keylogger, this is very dangerous and should re-install your pc,

Web based wallets could be attacked by hackers. Metamask is supposed to be an extra layer of security to access your MEW wallet. For some peace of mind, using a hardware wallet like Trezor, Ledger Nano S, etc is the best bet as they're more secured to store one's coins.

It could be hacked. There is no such thing as 100% sure in the space. Even Trezor and Ledger Nano could be hacked/hijack also so my suggestion is to keep in mind these security habits for keeping your wallet safe.
1. Never Connect into unknown public WiFi.
2. Install and use Anti-virus often.
3. Customize your PC for your safe security (other could leave phishing apps)
4. Don't click unknown links. If possible and you're on doubt, you could manually write it in your browser.
5. Trust your guts
6. Never Leave your PK on your PC.

Do these things, you could still be possible on getting hacked but this could help you avoid regret.

in my opinion using metamask as wallet security it's enough to secure our wallet from hacker even though there is another security system besides metamask

somebody can randomly get same private key and steal your coins along the way

 Shocked Grin

many people had same doubt whether anyone can get random key of our address , then chances are no . we need a super quantum computer to get proper private key of any wallet . this is the beauty that you cant simply guess key with or without using any software .
