It is possible to crack a wallet only because of your sluggishness and if you neglect security methods. do not blame the developers or anyone else for example if you did not put 2fa on the wallet
Yes it is. I agree with you there that's why we need to extra sexure it and never entrust it to anybody since people are very bad when it comes to money

Attack against bitcoin wallet is increasing as the price increases. The criminals may use private keys to access wallets. We must be vigilant against these types of attacks. A good anti virus software can be installed. You can use virtual lock system or encrypt the wallets with 2 way authentication  for better protection.

As it seems to me, hackers can hack any wallet. Even Ledger and Trezor are not immune from this. The question, it seems to me, is only how much money is contained in such wallets. And if there are enough funds there, then you are at risk.

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.
I don't think so if you use the MEW and TREZOR wallets. These wallets have a very strong security and the community. You can save coins/tokens for the long term.

Yup it is possible to hack our digital wallet. That is the reason of why we need the double security with using a offline hardware device as the secondary password so that not so easy to hack.

It depends on the person or on the team that set certain wallet up. I mean that there is no way to hack correctly set up wallet, but the more mistakes were made, the more vulnerabilities such wallet would have. As simple as that.

Current situation with an exchange that was hacked shows that hacking is possible, but there should be a combination of very stange events to make it happen. I consider that exchange managment should pay all the users and become bankrupt.

Yes? of course it can be hack. There are many ways to fool wallet owners. The most popular is fishing. You can find information about it on youtube.

Now much is possible, but such a wallet as myetherwallet, I think it is possible, except to get access by pulling information from the owner of the wallet

In any case, the information may be available to someone else. If your wallet is being hacked, the first step is to blame yourself, because there were some actions that caused the loss of your secret data.

At present, wallet hack is a common concern. Especially in cryptocurrency wallet hack. Most of the users' wallet is in their unconsciousness. Because they are sharing their private key or entering a fishing site. Of course, private key should be kept secure so that hackers can not hack easily. The work of hacking is the work of some professional programmer. If there is any weak side of the wallet, then the programmer will take advantage of those hacks to find those weak points.

Actually there are a lot of ways for hackers to get access into your wallet. They always find a way, that is why crypto users and investors must be careful on what they do, what they share, and what they click. Just one wrong moves, all the important details you have will be taken away from you.

You must first limit the actions on a computer on the network. It is best to have a separate device for using your cryptocurrency wallets, which would have limited access to the Internet.

Yes it is possible. some you put the wallet private for filling some forms. some time the hackers are do that by using your email. so the best way is use a hardware wallet.

Yeah your wallet can be hacked that is why it is always advisable to check the website that you are visiting to avoid any phishing attacks. Not only that but also you are advised not to share your private key to anybody not even in the confirmation to an Airdrop because if anybody gets accesss to your private key he/she can send tokens out of your wallet.

Wallets are hacked every now and then so this is not a new question or a new problem in cryptocurrency world .The wallet holder however sometimes makes mistakes that lead to search hacking incidences.If you are careful with your privacy issues then you should not worry so much about hacking.But if you are fond of clicking every phishing email or links then all your funds can be stolen in just a second.

Just look at this forum topics about the hacking of wallets. I you will probably be surprised but of those there are plenty, as breaking a purse and the loss of all their savings is one of the most relevant topics.
