I think yes. Modern hacker now are unstopable. If the wallet didnt always update thier security. Im sure hacker can crack it. But if the wallet always update hacker can access it.

Anything which is on web or online, can be hacked. Web wallets can be hacked too but chances are low. If people keep their private key/seed and password/passphrase hidden and safe then there are very low chances of getting the wallets hacked.

Right. That tells you that crypto wallets are quite secure compared to others. It gets compromised only when people don't take care of their personal keys and become careless.

Any wallet can be hacked specially when you are careless on your private keys and passwords. Always check the safeness and security of links you are clicking to avoid being phished. You can write down your private keys and passwords on a paper and never share them.
Asset security in this market is very necessary that every investor must know how to protect their money. Without good security, your coin can easily be stolen by professional hackers.

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

yes they can be hacked. especially if you use your computer for other purposes except storing cryptocurrencies. it is not so hard your computer to be affected by a trojan or virus, and sometimes it is not very easy to detect it by antivirus softwares.

It can be possibly hacked if you gave your private key...  Well definitely if that's the case the hacker is not only responsible for this things but you as well...  As a crypto user we must keep the important information with ourselves...  We are  the only person which is responsible for it so we need to be careful to avoid this things to happen...

Actually all can be in the state data retas very secret can only be retas let alone a wallet that has less security is very easy to be hacked but if you do not want your wallet hacked better do not store eth or the like in large quantities.

Now a lot of people are very smart so many wallets are often hacked, there is a possibility that the wallet is less strong so crime like this often happens. My advice is better we use offline wallets with strong security.

Cryptocurrency wallets can be hacked and some of them are really worst that they can be hacked so easily. That’s why you should always know the kind of wallet you’re using and know its level of security. You don’t just jump in and choose any wallet for storing your bitcoin,  and most especially you should avoid storing your bitcoins in exchanges except the ones you want to use for trading.

Always consider wallets that are highly secured like Blockchain wallet that has 2 factor authentication. 2fa is very important cause it prevents unauthorized access to your wallet. I won’t go for a wallet that doesn’t have 2fa, cause it’s not safe.

It can be hacked, it is the reason why we should choose bitcoin wallet properly. There are only some bitcoin wallets that have high security. The most safe and secure wallet that we can use in order to protect our bitcoins is the hardware wallets.

We already knew that many exchanger have hacking experiences. I think every cryptocurrency wallet can be hacked if we dont carefull with our private key. Safety of our account is depending on us and if we keep it safe, i am believe its hard to hacking on our wallet.

I think bitcointalk had an announcement a couple of months ago about the Electrum wallet having some sort of new vulnerability, and for everyone to update immediately. So there's your answer.

Cryptocurrency wallets can be attacked by hackers. They are easy to attack if infected with viruses, so we need to be careful and log on regularly to the wallet and we should install the virus protection software.

Not once or twice we hear of hacked exchange accounts, but the most horrendous is the hacking case that happened on Mt.Gox a few years ago. It should be this question doesn't appear here because questions like this's the same thing by challenging the tiger who's sleeping.

Well I dont think so because your cryptocurrency wallets has a password and private key so it wont be hacked unless you will give you password to anyone or any untrusted sites so you must keep your password and private key safe and secure.

If the person is reckless enough to give away his password and details, then it's a given fact that it will be hacked.
Modern hackers are quite prolific and are considered geniuses in their art and crafts. I think given enough time and
access to valuable data, software and resources, the likely considered unhackable can be cracked. It's quite possible today.

All the online record can be a hack, and you are the capable your wallet or every one of the records. Wallets are additionally delicate as they are likewise conceived through programming. The software engineer can be a programmer. Be mindful to pick each wallet. For me, the best wallets are the blockchain ensured by a solid system. If you don't have any acquaintance with you keys it too difficult to recuperate your wallets if you overlook all your data.
