Insecurity is a major challenge in the cryptocurrency space, several exchange website and Altcoin platform has been hacked in time past, there cannot be an exception to Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum, I observe some of this always perpetrated through there staff and in house workers, reason why developers now employ hackers in there team.

hacking on bitcoin wallets is impossible for me, but if this is a fraud in the form of phishing such as e-mail directing to certain links, websites and many more that often occur due to user negligence. Crypto wallet will be safer if it is hardware or Cool Swallow that is stored offline compared to claud wallet which still has a certain bug or vulnerability

i believe that any wallet can be hacked. they are all softwares and everything is possible. but you can reduce the possibility of being hacked. you can use a hardware wallet. you can be sure that your computer is not infected etc.

hardware wallet or cold wallet could be the solution from hackers attacking.they could not attack and destroy this security system.and maybe this is best solution for us now.

Yes it can be hacked i guess,for this kind of generation we all know that theres so much genius and hightech gadgets so it is not difficult for them to trace or hack our wallets.,and also just be carefull in giving our personal informations or kyc to any company who ask for it, be wise and alert.
On the internet, everything can be hacked, because the internet makes the world a network. In order not to be hacked, of course we ourselves must protect it, at least with a fairly complicated password, and do not carelessly open an obscure email. Moreover, wallet with bitcoin must be super careful.

There are so many types of electronic wallets today so choose the right kind of personal protection. I usually keep my coins on my purse because I do not trade the days I usually invest long term so for me purse is the safest.

There will always be ways that it can be hacked but it all starts on how do we use it. Hackers will try to look for exploits. After all, it's still money.

no matter how safe,how secured a digital wallet is. it can be hacked... by leaked wallet informations. digital wallets are secured but the problem here is you if your responsible enough to store all your wallet info in a safe place and prevent it from being leaked or else say goodbye to your wallet.

Its true. The security of our wallet is depending on our self. If we can not keep our private key safe and share it to anyone, our wallet can be dangerous. If we want to keep our wallet safe, always keep private key on safe place and not share it to anyone except our trusted people
Crytpto currency wallets can be hacked if we do not follow the common practices of password and security. Majority of hacks are done because we did not take necessary measures of security which were needed in the first place.

Wallets private key are the important thing which needs to be kept secure and do no to be disclosed to anyone. If you tell your private to your near and dear ones, it is subjected to risk of hack.

Everything can be hacked, but if you respect the basic rules of security, it becomes virtually impossible.
So, without becoming paranoid, it is enough to use the same attention that we put in not leaving the homedoor open ...

of course it can be hacked even I've read several times about hacking in digital wallets. investment in cryptocurrency is indeed very risky in addition to its very volatile value because this hacker is everywhere. they will find every way to break into our wallets. so we must always be vigilant and careful in every transaction and do not trust anyone.

the possibility of hacking remains even more so if you are negligent in maintaining your privacy and account, because most of the hack in cryptocurrency occurs due to user negligence in maintaining confidentiality, and also some other reasons such as opening a phishing web or opening a scam email and so on, so to avoid hacking itself you have to pay more attention to what web you open whether the web is valid, and be careful in opening suspicious e-mails, it can reduce your risk of being hacked, because basically every time there is a gap there will be some people who take advantage of that moment. no system is safe

Thats why we shouldnt be confident at all times especially if we liked to hodl a huge amount of cryptos on our wallet .  in my case , i constantly withdrew my coins and i keep the money on my own hands so that it can be safe from any harm . not only i can avoid hackers and scammers , i can also avoid the dangers of fluctuations .

Getting a hardware wallet or storing our cryptos offline can also give us an extra protection if we are really conscious about our safety .

There is no single wallet that can be self protected without being hacked. Each and every wallet can be hacked if you play lose game by exposing your account details.

Unfortunately they can. Most of the thefts occur in Ethereum cryptocurrency wallets. Using additional security measures will help you save your money and protect you from unnecessary losses. Do not forget it. It is better to spend a few extra minutes to install a secure browser extension or two-factor verification for your wallet than to spend weeks or months to compensate for lost funds and recover losses.

Serious wallets have such efficient protection systems that it is humanly impossible to hack them.
But it is certainly possible to hack YOUR computer if you do not use the appropriate precautionary measures.
