I have heard on many occasions where some people say their wallet was hacked but when I query them well, I always discover that it was them who let down their guard by visiting suspicious websites (doing giveaways or airdrops) or downloading malicious apps which can be used to steal their private keys. The security of a wallet is the responsibility of the one who owns the private keys. If they don't handle it well, they will get hacked and have their wallets accessed.

Yes, hacking can occur and this is very dangerous for our assets stored in the wallet. We must be more careful in using wallets and wallets that I believe are ERC20. Until now I have used my wallet very safely and my coins have not diminished. As long as you can save your password, of course, it will be safe.

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 Never have an experience like I have been hacked or may wallet had been hacked  but yes wallets are  possible for hacking. It is also depends on how you take care of your private key and of course you must also be careful to those phishing sites  that they can get your pins or keys or information by just clicking those sites. I Think everything in internet world is possible to be hacked.

So many wallet is liable to be hacked in that, this sometimes might not be possible if there isn't a loophole for them to hack such accounts.  To my own experience, I think account's or wallet can't be hacked successfully if one didn't leave a loophole for the hacker though I haven't experience hacked account before.

I think the hacking of online wallets will continue to occur in the development of digital technology that is growing rapidly. And that is part of the risk, and is used by people who have high intelligence in hacking accounts and wallets. I think this is a concern, because the intelligence used for a crime. And we must always anticipate their ways., Sad

One thing I understand by wallet hacking is just the carelessness of the wallet owner. A wallet with private keys especially has little or no tendency to hacked except when the owner gives out these keys.

The most important thing not to send your private keys to anyone and never. There are too many scammers who write from the names of others

It is possible specially in some cases where the owner is wreckless. We should keep our wallets and private keys in private. It would be a risk if we'll share it wih untrusted people. Everything is hackable these days so we must be aware and be wise.

In case of not sharing the key with anyone, the risk is if you encounter an accident. The number of properties will be gone forever, and I have recorded ways to be able to log into my wallet for my relatives. Until now, I have not been hacked yet, although I am still using some of the recommended methods like Json file + password.

I think the blockchain is impossible to crack, but scammers can steal your private keys or you can go to a fake website and lose your cryptocurrency. I recommend using hardware wallets.

If we are not careful of things that are suspicious, of course very vulnerable to hacking the wallet. My example is MEW, if we want to make a transaction through the Key and Private key, of course it is not recommended because it is very dangerous if we have entered a hacker trap.

It all depends on where you keep your coins. There are more dangerous options, and there are safer. It all depends on you and your actions on the Internet.

Wallet hacking is very possible but it all depends on the type of wallet you make use of. Web wallet are easily hacked that's why it's better to make use of hard wallet or cold wallet. Sometimes hard wallets might be hacked if you are careless

I am 100 percent sure that hacking a wallet is possible. Appeared a good virus Explay which provides access to a victim's computer. That is, a person can take screenshots, record a session, and so on.

Nowadays it is very common that wallets are hacked. But I would say here I myself also is a victim  of this hacking from my Myetherwallet. And I lost more than $10,000 at that time of valuation. While I remind back to my activity on the internet I got yo know that I was fished with a scam site that is looks like almost Myetherwallet site. So, guys are requested not to store your wallet private key in your computer or in any drive.

Wallet hacking means someone can take away all your funds without any login details which is completely impossible with crypto wallet but it can be possible through phishing or other ways like taking screenshots of what we are typing and much more.

web wallets can be hacked and it can be done by hackers by many ways as they can send a phishing link or a key-logger to your system through third party software downloads etc. but hardware wallets are fully safe from these vulnerabilities so i am in favor of always using hardware wallets.

very possible, the most vulnerable is when we enter our private key to the site (which is prone to phishing sites) exchanger. and when we leave, the hacker can record it and then steal. therefore, we must be more careful about phishing sites.

unsecured website are the most notorious wallet hacker in crypto. another one is the inside job from the developers as well. if you can afford ledger, I think that is the most secured offline wallet there is.

I've never experienced that but some of my friends have experienced it ... and most hackers do that via e-mail and telegram and some sites so for wallet security we should not arbitrarily trust any site and anyone
