I can only say that today many projects that guarantee security actually do not have the declared security that they are talking about, yet it is clear that these projects are simply deceiving only so that these projects actually seem honest .

Crypto wallet is high algorithm and it's difficult or almost impossible, if someone want hack the wallet, the need change all crypto wallet around the world, in case hack wallet it happen at exchanger, because data base exchanger save the wallets in one server, the simple one is, if someone want hack some wallet better is hack the exchanger.

I don't believe to the best security system in the world.
Each wallet can be hacked, so diversify your assets and don't rely on 1 wallet/exchange/ computer.

Even some people called they are best at this case and it can't be trusted. because the team just not yet discovered the bug on the app.
So many exchange sites and wallet service that have declared if they are having a very high security service but it gets hacked. we have learned a lot of knowledge from there.

Wallets can be hacked if the owner himself is negligent, you have to be very careful about this issue and thoroughly hide the secret key.

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.

Great question, the short answer is no, a cryptocurrency wallet cannot be hacked by attacks such as brute force. However, if someone has a weak password, or perhaps they are popular and known to be rich, hackers may attempt to steal your coins through other methods such as hacking your computer, etc.

This is why it is so important for exchanges to keep the majority of user's cryptocurrency in cold storage.

Ofcourse it's possible, it has happened to several of my friends but I still insist that it is out of carelessness on their part, storing your private keys in places like your email is definitely a bad decision, although I have to admit that hackers are now inventing more advanced ways to hack people, when we are security conciliation, it reduces the chances.

Actually theoretically you can hack anything, the question is whether you have enough life on the burglary of the particular purse. For hacking you need to have some knowledge about the victim but by the usual selection of letters and numbers this will most likely be impossible

That's more than possible. This is one of the most terrible and quite common threats in the world of cryptocurrencies. That is why people take all possible measures to ensure the safety of your wallet.

The first time I was ask this question I could not answer yes or no because I never have any idea about how risky it is to have your private key expose to the third party.  But now I know how easy it is when the hacker have little of your details

we should be aware that hackers have opportunities only from our negligence. Therefore, the more we will be attentive, the more secure our funds will be.

It isn't possible to crack a purse. It is possible to get access to coins which lie on it only if you lose the private key or he will be kidnapped.

there is nothing that is impossible in the internet world there are certainly many ways that hackers can do to be able to take assets owned by others, the internet is not entirely safe because the more sophisticated technology the greater the chance of irresponsible people looking for ways to gain profits in whatever way they can.

In my own opinion, I think wallet hacking is possible. There are different hackers now, some are good enough to hack a wallet or an account.

Sure it is possible. Nowadays people are hacking huge exchanges like Binance or Bancor. I think it would also be possible to hack your MEW. Just be careful with phishing websites and never share your private key. You can also hodl your coins on different wallets to minimise the risks of being hacked.

Of course yes! Hacking a wallet is very possible. Nowadays many people are trying to access our wallet so that they can get our earnings. So if you want to really secure your wallet better to don't give your private key to anyone so that you may avoid hacks etc.

Yes it is possible, just like in the real world computer technology and security concepts, if one is careless in their respective actions, their privacy can be accessed through keyloggers and phishing sites. Malwares are developed by some computer hackers which has the potential to access our privacy.

Of course any wallet can be hacked. It's not easy, but quite recently several cryptocurrency exchanges have suffered from money theft. Hackers are interested in large amounts of money. They focus on major exchanges.
