for technology like nowadays almost nothing is not possible although the security of bitcoin wallet is constantly improved but there is always a way to hack it, because no security system is really safe as long as it is man-made. so its core can certainly be hacked we can only hope not our wallets are hacked and stolen his data.
In the recent time, the community is worried because the ETH wallet is hacked by hackers, many people have lost a lot of eth because of not careful, so nothing is 100% safe. Secure your account carefully. Do not listen to bad rumors, do not believe in anyone, they can be scams, they are all over the Crypto market.

if we can maintain the confidentiality of our wallet it will be very safe, because all forms of hacking that happens it all affected by the negligence of owners swallow itself, because in terms of wallet system is very safe

I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?

Obviously they can be hacked but they are very very hard to do so. Obviously they are equipped with heavy algorithms and due to blocks connected in the chains it becomes almost impossible to get in. You must be knowing that every block contains the information and once it is in the blockchain then its irreversible one. This way network forms giant complexity of the wallets and retrieve them you need specific private keys which can open up the wallet for you. Even a smartest computer may take more than 35 years to cross this algorithm, thats what I have read and understood. So its impossible I guess.

Considering what happened to the most widely used Ethereum web wallet MyEtherWallet and how it was done, there is always a chance that vulnerabilities in the internet could be exploited to hack and gain access users' coins.

Yet, the benefit of doubt could be handed over to all the wallets mentioned in your post as they're desktop/Mac clients and not web wallets. Then again, one of them i.e Electrum is known to have a history plagued with vulnerabilities.

To my way of thinking is its possible if crytocurrency can not hacked. Nowdays, people can do what ever they want in technology. There are many ways to do that. So let's be careful of where we store our coins. as much as possible in your trusted cryptocurrency wallet you you will only put it. Just avoid clicking a malicious website in your web. Avoiding and be alert is one of the best way to keep safe your coins in your cryptocurrency wallet. Do not expose your private key anywhere keeping it in a safe place is better and always do a back up data foryour account if ever someone hacked it.

It can be hacked. There are a lot of phishing sites, fake airdrops, and malwares that can get your private key or passwords if you are not careful. That is why it is advised to store your cryprocurrency in a hardware wallet.

Hacker motto is "nothing is unhackable in the internet". So if you are a person that is holding a large number of coins. You shouldn't store it in a single wallet, split it in different wallet instead so if ever you've been attacked, atleast not all your coins. You should also be careful on what site you visit.

Yes it can be hacked every online wallet is really highly possible to be hack by someone.the soaly responsible for keeping your wallet secured is the owner of the wallet.And please be advise to keep your password and private key in a safe place.We all know hackers is trying hardly to steal everything in your wallet.The way how to secured your wallet on online activities is think before you click dont give your wallet password or key make sure your password is combination with capital and sign characters and make sure you aware of the website you click and look at the website if it is secured just look for the lock icon or if the website has https on the address bar.

I think that the problem of hacker attacking the MEW wallet is still a worry and a practical evidence of the safety of different types of wallet storage coin. It can be attacked at any time. Therefore, in any case, we should take precautionary measures and ensure the wallet.

Of course online wallets can be hacked. I have experienced this before and I do pity myself that all of my bounty reward was taken. I do not know what to do at that time and who to blame (then I only have myself).

Not putting all of it in a single wallet is the very basic thing of securing your investments and wallets. You may have the keys hidden a safe box but hackers will be hackers, they will find a way to get inside your safe box and selfishly steal everything. Don't feel contented with the security that sites / online wallets gives you, make sure that you have a way of your own in managing and securing your finds.

Yup! All they said was true. Even how secured or trustworthy the wallet you are using, it can still be breached if important infos like your private keys, usernames & passwords, and pins are leaked. So be very careful always. Here's my tip, never open your account in computer rentals because sometimes computers there has a keylogger. I'm not saying that this happens in all but it is not bad to play safer, right? Remember, "Prevention is better than cure" Smiley.

I think our cryptocurrency wallet use is safer but I think one false move of exposing your private key could be the great hacked of your wallet, another is the exposure of your private key to anybody you trust , that is another point, so the most safest way to protect your cryptocurrency wallet is to keep your key in secret away from others.

Hackers can only debugged your account and wallets if you important informations are revealed and they take advantage on it to leverage your money. Whatever wallet you have or how strong your security is, if you are not carefull with it then you are prone to being hacked.

Of course, it can be hacked. However, it only gets hacked when you make mistakes. There are many ways for hackers to hack your wallet. The most common way is to use the virus to access your wallet and retrieve the necessary information. So always be careful!

Anything can be hacked especially the important details are scammed to someone. We must store our private information at the safely place. We should not trust to anyone because money can tempted to the person to do bad thing that harm to other people and the responsibility of the wallet holder is to keep the private information that he is only one knows where it placed.

Yes, I think everything can be hacked. Noone is totally safe I guess. But you don't need to think about it all the time. It's like think of death all the time, I don't know.

I think the cryptocurrency wallet can be hacked and I am sure that there is the person that have this skills. but I think as long as you can save your cryptocurrency wallets in the safe places, you don't have to worry about this and you can use your wallet without worry. it will need time to hack the wallet because I am sure that the security to protect the wallet is encrypted and not all people can break this encrypted and it needs high skills to do that. so you don't have to afraid with your wallet and keep save in your wallet for your own protection.

It is possible, most likely in the "fishing" way, my friend recently took away his wallet and he has no idea how it happened.
