Ideally, the digital wallet would be very hard to hack as it combines hash codes that would be very long to decode. But hackers are becoming good in their style to deceive people. They create really good phishing sites that tricks users that they are using legitimate sites and then captures the private keys of users.

Yes a brute force hack is technically possible but the chance is small.

...and it has been done ! https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/trophies

Actual private key found of wallet with funds :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1573035.msg16523548#msg16523548

Wallet - wallet address - private key - public key - explained in detail.

Usually peoples wallets and exchange accounts are accessed by phishing - which is not really hacking.

We are surrounded by legends on this forum. Phenomenal successes and catastrophic failures. Then there are the scams. This forum is a digital museum.

Now it has become just a means of earning many scammers. So, that you can hack, unfortunately. Even the safest purse. Therefore, my advice is not to keep all of my coins in one purse.

Wallet hacking is possible if our system is not secure and we click unsecured links comes to us through email and any other way. Only cold or hardware wallets are safe from these types of vulnerabilities as they are without private keys.

Yes, there are a lot of people who are missing their wallets now, so I think we should not be too worried, just keep trying and do not visit potentially harmful sites on your account.

Thats answer the question, if the question is simple possible or not.
But i think there will be small chance that the cracker trying to do that, cause it won't be easy to get it to fully work and it would takes a lot of time do that.
Just like what already mentioned above.

Well, depending on what. If the wallet is reliable and quality. So you are guaranteed security. And if not, they themselves understand that they are in the risk zone. So do not take it carelessly. And do not think that this is not important. The reliability of your wallet, the security of your coins.

Your wallet will be hacked if you enter your private key on the phishing site. Or if you saved your key on the hard drive.

Everything is possible. I have seen how someone lost every coins from Ledger Nano when he treid to claim Bitcoin Forks coins... He lost about 10 Bitcoins. Still I do not understand how it is possible.

Just like an account where one's fiat currencies are kept so also is wallet where digital assets or cryptocurrencies of crypto lovers are kept. Can the wallet be vulnerable to hacking and if possible how can that happen? If you have experienced it before, I want to learn from your experience.
this is a case that has been found a lot, a little story in my city happened a lot of wallet hacking.
from the resource person telling me about his carelessness in entering an unknown website, this is one of the carelessness of why a wallet can be hacked ... some even assume that there are many airdrops that are intentionally made to break into the participants' wallets.
be careful ...

       Wallet is very much vulnerable to the hacker since they are doing better than us , regarding the ability of programing , so just be very careful of your holding inside of your wallet .

Of course if you are here because you want your fiat money to  be safe from the thief outside in the streets lurking for someone to be their victims then getting and creating a digital wallet would still be the same. There are many hackers here that could hack your digital wallet but they focused on digital wallets with full of crypto inside .

in my opinion, the wallet is vulnerable to hacking because the wallet has bugs and bugs that become a gap for hackers to hack a wallet

Yes they are hackable. desktop wallets even more so. I am yet to be convinced about the security of hard wallets also, as I know a guy who lost a ton of money during an update of his hard wallet.

If you use a cold wallet then you will not have problems with hacking. I heard that Ethereum will soon release a cold wallet that will turn your mobile phone into one. I think it will be safe.

You write nonsense. This is not a hacking, phishing, replacement files, which has nothing to do with the code / wallet server (especially if it's offline wallet, which is used by all the appropriate people). And this is completely the fault of the owner of the wallet, nothing more.

Most often, wallets are hacked on various exchanges to which access is provided by login and password.
Less often crack koslki, access to which go on a private key. This occurs when the computer is infected with a virus.

The possibility of hacking wallet is not equal if no information about wallet is leaked from your side. Vigilance is necessary for this not to be a Wallet hack.
