You know in online world everything is possible to hack every imformation that you have. But the most target of the hacker now for sure is the wallet of bitcoin or altcoins because once they open it they will get more coins and they will earn money. So protect your wallet everytime.

Some wallets can really be hacked. Most often, I hear hacking through extensions in browsers, so try to fix as few extensions as possible to your working browser.

more risky if we enter phishing websites that will harm visitors to the website providing information such as private addresses and data theft. that's why it is necessary to be careful in protecting our wallet account

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.
You will never know until it happens to you. I know of a guy who lost all the tokens he has ever worked for in airdrops through hacking.

It will be possible to hack if you not take care your private key and always go pishing site. That's why we need to be vigilant and avoid any pishing site. And always use hard wallet.

there is always the possibility of hacking in any wallet because we know for ourselves some time ago there was a large exchange that experienced hacking like that, we must be really careful when taking action so that something like that doesn't happen

Even though I didn't experienced it before, I know the concept in which it is done. Wallet account is the same as social media accounta hacking. If we are careless enough to our actions, it is possible for our wallets to be hacked. Hackera may use phishing sites to get your username and passwords. They can also use malwares such as keyloggers. Be careful in installing softwares.

That's exactly why there's something called 2 factor authentication where even if the hacker have access to your credentials data including password or wallet ID to your account they can't do anything simply because they don't have the 2fa to begin with and cant even withdraw something.

It's is 100% possible for a wallet to be hacked. And it solely depends on the owner's carelessness and lack of proper security of your seeds, and your private keys.

Hacking local wallets is almost impossible, but you need to properly store your private keys, use licensed programs & operating system, and have a good antivirus program. Online wallets or exchanges wallets more vulnerable. On exchanges and online wallets, always set 2-factor authentication, install similar web or cryptonite in your browser to prevent phishing.

I haven't experienced being hacked but with some people out here who got experienced it, I am certain that it is because of negligence in their security. Private keys of our wallets should be kept private and not be told to public like some phishing sites.

speaking from my experience and spread news, it is very possible that a crypto wallet can be hacked. especially wallet in the form of exchangers, there have been many cases of exchangers who have been attacked by hackers and have suffered huge losses. but if I talk about my experience, what often happens is hacking in phishing and 'virus' forms through applications that are not related to crypto. not long ago I lost ethereum assets, I was confused why it could happen, even though I felt my private key was using wisely and safely, after searching, hackers came through chrome third part extensions, MEGA, an application to download data files. after that I immediately deleted the extension and all returned to normal.

Division crypto is not too rational action. Since it is impossible to remember everything and you will have to use information storage tools to store passwords and other information about wallets. The best storage is a standalone wallet. Until the thieves find out about them.

Be aware that everything what is avaiable on the internet could be hacked! Yes, everything what has a processor can be the target of hackers.
So yes, also hardware wallet probably could be (once) hacked.

Sure, the wallet hacking is possible. Moreover, it is also possible to hack any exchange. So if you want to be to 100 percent safe, buy a cold wallet and stay calm. But it is not so comfortable to use, thats why I prefer just MEW. Be safe and everything will be great.

Its very difficult to crack into a wallet and surely its not an impossible thing and can occur due to carelessness. Dont not to download spam and malware into your computer.

I think it's only a matter of time before your wallet gets hacked if you don't pay enough attention to security, so when you sign up, it's better to take care of security right away and once the first money appears in your wallet, it's worth strengthening this one . Then your wallet is unlikely to ever get hacked.

Yes very possible. If you don't keep your wallet properly then your wallet may be hacked. Therefore you must keep your wallet as good as possible. don't use public wifi when opening your wallet. don't tell anyone your personal data including password, email and your private key. guard your computer, cellphone or notebook from a virus attack.
