Security is very important especially to save our valuable assets. And hacking a wallet is very possible and many people lose coins. And to keep coins from being hacked is to use a hardware wallet. Or you can use several wallets to save coins. And for the private key, it must be stored correctly.

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.

Very big possibility, as this hacker always doing tricks to hack such account even crypto wallets is dengerous to them. About experience, not yet but my friend is a victim of this hackers. He lost almost 2,000$ is being hacked because of too much exposure of the wallet details in the web. So that why we should be keep safe always and have defends of this hacker everytime.

Right, brute-forcing the wallet is ("almost") impossible.
The actual problem is your private key which - when exposed to the internet - could be stolen (malware, phishing etc.) and that's why everyone should consider using a hardware-wallet, signing his transactions offline and checking the balance using the public key [or at least storing the unencrypted private-key on anything with internet-access]*.

Using the keystore-file (encrypted private-key) is still not very secure as malware could also grab the password while you're accessing your wallet - also make sure to use an UNIQUE password to prevent the attacker just testing your other if those also got recovered and stolen.
But in general I'd still recommend a hardware-wallet or signing your transactions offline as this completely eleminates this scenario and don't store anything to access your wallet on an online-device.

about "password" most of the hackers will try to stole it not to uncover it by using bruteforce or random guess because they will likely have no clue.
There's just so many various ways for hacker to stole people's crypto and that includes the malware to replace your pasted wallet address when you're putting it into the address form making people mistakenly sending their money to the hacker's wallet.
as a user of hardware wallet up till this date, this thing just flawlessy secure my money with the tested method of sending money, including double checking the address in the computer and in the hardware wallet itself.

Wallet security is very important. It is advisable to store all data on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet, or on an additional memory disk. And do not advertise your interests,because they can just physically apply actions to you and you will give everything yourself. Money loves silence.

While attackers do not have access to your computer that is, to the secret keys or wallet files, your cryptocurrency wallet is practically not vulnerable. In almost all cases of hacking, the user is to blame.

Usually only the quantum computer can attack the wallet, and the quantum computer may take 20 years to be born. It may take up to four years for a quantum computer to crack a wallet. So the wallet is very secure, the only thing that is not secure is the user's Internet device, and hackers can steal user information.

There has never been a direct hacking of a crypto wallet in all the time. All hacks occurred only because of the stupidity and inattention of people. Put yourself in chrome extensions for checking phishing sites. This is a MetaCert which shows the original site or the substitution of the dns occurred. Also, the second extension of SimilarWeb, which shows the attendance of the site, you can immediately guess the original.

No system is safe. As long as it is online, it can be hacked. There are a lot of phishing site where hackers can gain access to your personal info by creating a website. Also there are links that can install malware on your computer. Just make sure that your computer is malware free, and the website you are accessing it legit. You are responsible for your own security.

Of course you can hack everything that is man-made , but of course for example the purse mew, I think you need to hack a very long time , and at the moment, of course in doubt to break it , but in the future it's a possibility

[Dhaniii]

wallet hacking is very possible, it happens also because we are not careful. like entering a phishing web or our laptop is exposed to malware. usually it happens to myetherwallet. to avoid that it's better to buy a ledgernano wallet, so that our assets are safe.

The private keys of coins has limited number of digits so there is a probability for it to be cracked but is very small. The more the hashed digits the lesser the probability. But I will not worry as it would take a very very long time to generate each privatekey for a specific public address.

[amitkumratra]

Of course wallets can be hacked but they occurs if you click on any phishing links who gives you greed for unexpected reward without doing anything, if you share your data on fake sites whose name is similar to original sites, if you store your private keys or passwords in your computer or mobile phone and if you use some type of BOT services.
If you beware by these things than you will be always safe and for security of your coins always use hardware wallet like TREZOR wallet because without your permission no one can transfer even single coin from this wallet.

Of course there are so many hackers here who want to hack a lot of wallet in order to get the inside of it. They will look for many ways on how to possibly get anyone's wallet. So be careful in keeping your wallet, if you want to join airdrops or other investments make it sure you only give your wallet address not your private key.

Now for hackers nothing is impossible. Hack literally everything. Back in the last century. It is most reliable to write the password from the wallet on a sheet of paper.

[rockethead]

it would be negligent to say that's impossible.
but it is as good as impossible that it will happen to you.
when it comes to security, the big gaps usually occur in front of the computer. a few careless clicks and it happens. but that's the case in all areas and not just with walltes.

[Erzinnum]

I think it is not untill the hackers got the access to your computer, where (if you silly) you hold your private keys or pass phrases and etc. just write everything in notebook, dont use computer for it

[Mr.Noda]

You can hack anything. Nothing is insured against hacking. I think it's a matter of time....

[MMS2017]

I think it is very impossible to hack an account with out your help because blockchain is very strong network of crypto and hackers can not breach the security but if you leave some holes so they can use that for stealing things other wise you can not enter into somebody account and it is the modern era where every where cyber thieve are moving for the chance so be aware from them.
