Wallet hacking is it possible?

[xclusiveguy]

Even Binance exchange wallet is susceptible to hacking not to talk about personal wallet,  only wallet that you control the private Key and you did not click on phishing link nor share your private key will not be vulnerable to hacking

The wallet can be hacked if you store it on your computer. It is better to store the password from the wallet on a flash drive. You can print the password and wallet, but it is not convenient. Hackers hack the exchange, what can we say about the wallet.

[acholagi]

It is very possible and this has happened for a long time and I myself also experienced where I got a big loss when I was wrong in choosing a wallet. this is a big disadvantage because indeed something like this should concern many people.

[Yalovtsev]

Of course possible,as has repeatedly been the case when he hacked the wallets are not just ordinary users,namely the exchanges even,so Yes today, the area is not until the end samisen,and should be maximum to prevent your computer,podozritelno sites not to go,and does not store any keys and passwords on the computer

[nikogluttonym]

Hacking is possible if the user of the wallet does not follow the rules for storing their data and creates a vulnerability. If everything is observed, hacking is almost impossible.

[jpnl0008]

stating the fact, it is very possible and has had several occurrences on the said topic matter as people have fallen for it and I for one have also fallen for wallet hacks.. It is true wallets can be and have been hacked but it is not the blockchain that was responsible but human error

[Tsubachuchu]

A wallet can be hack if you visit a site that has phishing and enter your private key or share your private keys to someone, you need to be careful in filling up any forms, because hacking begins when you share your private informations to them.

Everything is possible on the internet. Even binance who claims to have a more secured exchange platform was recently hacked. The best way not to lose all your funds when your wallet gets hacked is to store your assets in different wallets

Right, the mistake lies in the guilt of the man himself, if we do it well according to the rules given and don't make mistakes about things being careless I think it will be safe

[baeva2]

Of course, breaking the wallet is possible anyway. If hackers broke into a well-protected Binance exchange, it is so easy for hackers to crack any user's wallet.

ALL wallets are vulnerable to hacking in different ways if they are not setup and used correctly..

It sounds like you are talking about a web wallet, a wallet on a website.
These are very vulnerable to hacking just the same as exchanges are. They can be hacked by hacking the website itself, ot hacking your computer to get your login details, or phishing you..
They definately are NOT unhackable..

Then you have desktop and mobile wallets..
Besides possible volnerabilities in their code they are only as safe as your device.. So if they can hack your device they can get your coins..
Even if you encrypt the wallet they could still get you with a keylogger or something..
Your device's security is in your hands..

Then you have "cold" wallets.. They can be quite unhackable if done right but you have to do them right..
If your seed or priv key are saved on a machine that the internet can touch, then they are hackable..
If you create them on a machine that was possibly infected or connected to the internet, they are hackable..
They are only unhackable if done right..

Then their are hardware wallets like the ledger and trezor..
Unhackable you might say right?
Well probably if you save your seed offline like write it down on paper, but if you save your seed in a file on a computer that is connected to the internet they can getcha....
Also, a lot of people STILL get hacked using these by trying to claim forks with scam wallets!!!
So you still have to watch what you do..

My choice is the Ledger hardware wallet but I am still very suspicious of the chrome app, and it needing "updates" all the time spooks me..
Seed written on physical paper..

This is probably the best answer to anyone that is looking to know how to secure their digital coins. Cheers

I think everything is vazmozhno. It depends on which wallet you choose. I think so far only mobile wallets can suffer from direct hacking. Because they usually go through the mail with a password.

[der_troll]

Everything is possible, especially in the 21st century. I really do not know how to protect your computer at the moment, because even if such giants as Binance could be hacked, imagine how easy is to hack a regular ERC-20 wallet or desktop wallet. I have an antivirus software, but I am not sure if it is going to be enough.

[integrity42]

I think it's possible to hack into your wallet, but it can be either accidental or it can take a long time to find the password from your wallet using a computer that will retrieve it

I wouldn't be concerned about bruteforcing a private-key... it would literally take an eternity.
The real threat is malware (and maybe phishing-websites but I wouldn't call that "hacking").

well that's the danger of malware, they can do it through phishing sites or intermediaries to hack weak ones, I mean careless in storing assets in personal wallets. which I often see are mostly careless beginners in saving assets and I have never seen that personal wallets can be hacked unless the owner is careless in safeguarding their private keys.

[leetcoiner]

Of course, over time, everything is possible. I think that there are no such wallets that can provide 100% protection. but we still need to believe in Bitcoin!

[Gary Levanevskii]

Yes. I think it is possible. A purse may have vulnerabilities and someone may exploit this vulnerability and crack a wallet. By this, I think that cybersecurity audit is important.

[Petchant]

I don't think wallet can be hacked unless the owner made some mistakes which made him expose his private key unnoticed. This can happen through phising or by ignorantly exposing your details to third parties.

[annarothschild25]

Yes, the wallet can be hacked unless the user uses it very carefully and provides easy access to the private key and passwords.

[Korkorjkk]

Hacking a wallet is definitely possible. There are some airdrops that steal your information (passwords). In case you mistakenly send your private key through any messaging application, you are vulnerable to hacking attack. You can also be hacked if you do not use a secure site to assess your wallet.
