Wallet hacking is it possible?

[JohnMacZeppelin]

An important security note that has already been mentioned here not for the first time is that any system today, which is written by man, can be hacked, so just don’t think about security, it simply doesn’t and cannot be

[akishang]

Yes. It is possible and usually the hacker gets the private key on a phishing site. Its just a matter of typing the right URL yet a lot of people are caught on the hackers trap. That is why I always have the URL bookmarked. It is easier to click than to type and it is much safer. Dunno why other people prefer not to do it. Also, there are hackers that has the ability to login to our computer when they successfully installed their program by means of viruses. It is safer not to store any data on your device, use a flash drive instead.

Yes wallet hacking is possible and these are the following ways to hack the wallet are as.

1.Stealing the private keys.
2.Bitcoin miner malware.
3.Fake wallets.
4.Stolen value stores.
5.Keyloggers.

Here's the solution to prevent from hacks:
1. Wallet should have "Secure Backup", this feature protects the users from malware trying to steal the the seeds. The secure back up may be in form of PDF containing QR code, PDF must be oacjed as encrypted archive .
2. Wallet must be an open source, this feature applies security for the software. Having an open source wallet allows the user to have full control over his fund without third party like exchanges wallet. This also makes you invulnerable to potential  stealing, and most importantly you do not need to rely on anyone else about your stored funds.
Check the features of HODLER wallet. This technology might help to keep us from  potential hacking.

It sounds very difficult for me to do that. It's easy to secure your money but a lot of people lack of education about that. when there was a wallet that supported to be used in the offline version and they are still using online wallet to store their token. Why do people still use online MEW if they can use offline MEW to make it more secure from the malware attack or phishing?

Its actually simple, even people with no background knowledge about Crypto could understand it. To easily understand the feature, nstall the Hodler app and use it. You yourself will find how secure your fund is. Aside from hardware wallet it is still good to use an online wallet considering that is open source. MEW is good but it could not hold other alternative coin which HODLER wallet could offer.

if your system is being hacked then hackers could penetrate your system then hack your wallet , you need to always to keep it safe. Lot's of phishing app and sites that could make your system vulnerable and steal your informations like private key and other relevant to wallet access.

[Galantin]

I do not think that the wallet can be hacked. I think the problem is phishing. In general, people lose their coins because they publish their key. Install the wrong web extension.

[5thFear]

Well, that is quiet possible. You can loose the wallet dat file and then it can be hacked. Trojans, and other viruses, there are a lot of stuff out there that can penetrate the system and pull the required info and can deprive you of your coins. So be safe, don't trust unknown links, and have a good antivirus on your system always.

[Georgiyk]

There are smart scammers and smart programs that can hack not only wallets, but also any sites and even exchanges. You need to be vigilant. The best way to store cold wallet passwords. And of course, you need to be careful and avoid phishing sites.

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 can become a victim of phishing or fraud, but to avoid this, keep a bookmark in the official website of the wallet, do not tell anyone your private key and keep it in a safe place.

[poiska7662]

it always happens this nowadays you have to be aware of sites that you click some of it is full of malware that attacks your computer and steals your private key. the first thing to do is to not allow this to intrude your computer and be aware of some sites that have a malware.

[sergeykravchenko1959]

You must not give anyone your private key , visit phishing sites (check the address bar of the website) , otherwise you can lose your cryptocurrency. For the greater safety of their coins, we recommend to use hardware wallets.

[rumexx]

Wallet can be hacked if your wallet keys  especially private key is stolen from you. Your account will be compromised and an unauthorized persons will have access to the account. Once that happened your account is gone with all the coins inside it. You must do all you can to safe keep your wallet keys from any other person  to avoid the unfortunate incidence of wallet hacking.

[Almasani]

I think the hacker wallet is a result of entering a Private Key on web fishing. They often send via email by distributing Airdrop gifts. Earlier I just found a message in the form of joining AirDrop on behalf of the BNB. I deleted the message, but I also entered the Private Key on the  web fishing.
After I checked the BNB official website there was no distribution of the Airdrop prizes. And email is also different from the official BNB website.
I suggest that you carefully join AirDrop.

[Cocoincos]

of course! expecially if you are using myetherwallet, the best way is ledger, but you can use hard wallets, it is good too

It's  always needed to take care of your wallet, there's no hard thing with hackers, they can easily break everything when you will give them a chance,
if possible do every necessary precaution's and use a hardware wallets if you really have a bigger assets and avoid giving any ideas to anyone not
unless it is close to you that you really trusted.
