Cryptocurrency wallets: Can they be hacked??

[alroys]

Cryptocurrency Wallet is also a Human Creation, and I think it's as safe as any cryptocurrency wallet that is still very vulnerable to be cracked. so we have to be careful to keep our wallet, the most important thing is we have to keep the email and password of our wallet, do not let anyone know. because if this happens, the hacking of this cryptocurrency wallet will make us cry.

Cryptocurrency wallet can be hacked. So you must carefully when open your wallet. Make sure that your gadget is safe from virus and dont use wifi publik. And dont give your private key or password to unknown people

[RolandoBTC]

Yes sure. All of the wallets can be hacked, a hacker has a lot of idea and ways to hack the wallet. like phishing. So we must be careful, we must keep the private key as good as possible, do not let anyone know except ourselves.

True i agree by that so the hackers now are everywhere so lets be wise for  everything especially the wallets.

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

Although cryptocurrency are all based on blockchain technology but basically  this software created by people or companies some technologies will fail ,well if your btc wallet is hosted in a third party server then yes it can get hacked  but if your btc wallet is hosted on your own  device personal computer or in an offline paper wallet then ofcourse it cannot get hacked.

But other risks still exist even if you use your own desktop wallet, there are a lot of variations in hacking right now,
including using viruses, if you're not careful maybe viruses already infect your computer and they could steal your private key or other

There are a lot of great hackers around the world that can easily hacked and steal all of your bitcoin and crypto's, so i think cryptocurrency wallet can be hacked by hackers. I think the only cryptocurrency wallet that can't be hacked is hardware wallet like ledger because no one can access, as long you are the only who knows your private key and you have your hardware wallet with you.

I just think anything that can be accessed by the internet and can be used on a computer or mobile phone is still vulnerable to hacked. The most important thing is you have to provide very good care, because the virus will easily land on your computer and mobile phone if you do not care about its security. So with enough caution the hacker you have to secure everything perfectly.

You’re no longer a boob so you supposed to know that they do get hacked. Such has happened several times, I have heard about lots of exchanges that got hacked and most of their clients/customers lost their money,  although they were asked to repay those that were affected but not every exchanger will agree to pay when such an occasion occurs. Coinbase has been working very hard in improving their security, I read so much about their improvement last year.

Sure they can, if you use them on a computer that you do for everyday webbrowsing, there is no saying what malware you caught and whatnot. You should consider yourself exposed and keep only minimal amounts on such hot wallet, the amounts you are OK with losing any moment.

For any significant amounts of holdings, consider using cold wallets or hardware wallets.

Cryptocurrency wallets are normally hacked by obtaining private keys or password by phising. and there are lots of incident when crypto currencies wallets were hacked. i strongly advice please never ever share your private key or password with anyone.

[Sama517]

The answer is a very big YES. They can be hacked through so many ways. One of the easiest way of hacking a cryptocurrency wallet is through a phishing site whereby you are tricked into inputing your keystore file or private key into a dummie website with the believe that you are on the actual website. It is also possible for someone to hack your account especially a close friend who knows your passwords history and can also access your wallet logins.

Yes, it can be hacked if you are not being careful with your important information. Avoid being phished, do not open a malicious emails  because it might be something that will get you phised. Do not entertain unfamiliar websites that suddenly pop up in the computer screen because they contain uncertain data that will take your important information. Remember that hackers are equipped with the ways on how to take what they want to take from you.

[roadwell890]

although some say it, but it's good we are always wary
because, hackers can just enter from any direction, then from that ,, heart is the most appropriate way
do not let your money fly into the wallets of these hackers

[yunzau]

yes it can get hacked if you get a password from the wallet. although security is assured but it is not 100 percent therefore it needs an increase every time so there is no gap for hacking.

A private key is required to acces all the crypto currency wallets which is only known by the owner of that wallet.If someone gets to know about that key then these wallets can easily be hacked. It can happen when the owner by mistake shares his key with someone or while participating in an ICO or airdrop he by mistake enter private key instead of adress. Some of the fishing sites are also there.By fishing sites I mean that the sites which look similar to the original one but are only made to get your wallet details.A user by mistake enters his key at those sites and due to which hackers get to know about their key and it become easy for them to hack the wallets.

[soltantgris]

Yes, of course the bitcoin wallet can be hacked. But for this you need to know the minimum information about the user. For hacking, you may need information such as last name and first name, and information about the phone number.

[tepakpak]

We know if it is related to the internet it can be hacked, but all returned to the wallet security system. Maybe if given super security will not be hacked, but I can not guarantee 100%.

No matter how advanced our technology is, we can't still deny the fact that cryptocurrency wallets are also hackable. Hackers and scammes these days are to smart to do their business and they focus on stealing the earnings of other people which I find so risky so we must always secure our earnings.

Of course, they can be hacked, and there are many people who want to. The main thing is that your passwords are safe. Preferably on flash drives. And more important not to lose them))

Some of the wallet scam are actually that has happened seems to be suspicious and possibly it was attacked by them self and then termed as hack to their wallet. So that they could easily get those thousand of btc stored of their customers and they become overnight billionaire and enjoy rest of their life.

I think without the proper care of the credentials to the wallet or any account for that matter, of course it can be hacked. Of course, it is a given fact that we should also be mindful on where we log in our respective accounts. However, we cannot avoid the fact that hackers these days are really driven when it comes to doing what they do best.
