Wallet hacking is it possible?

[herdiansyahdanang]

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 keep most of my BTC/ETH in online wallets (Blockchain.info and MEW). But I am forced to keep some of the alts and tokens in exchange wallets as installing a desktop wallet in each case is simply not practical. Fortunately, none of my online wallets have got hacked till now.

Glad to hear that, but keep make strong security for your online wallet and exchanger. They already have 2fa feature that people can use so i think it can make us as user feel safe to save our assets on them.

Using the 2fa feature is the safest I often use this in various other exchanges that I use, but the alert is always there to secure your assets.

There's no wallet that can't be hacked, it's just very hard to do it. Scammers always find ways to crack wallets, and developers find ways to protect themselves from scammers

Wallet hacking is normal, never think that our wallet is safe from hackers, many malicious programs are always threatening at any time, always activating all security features is the best thing to avoid hackers.

there is no online or web wallet are totally safe , even you used latest version with maximum security. hacker will always looking for new ways to inject some malware to your PC and steal your money. i suggest to use hardware wallet if you have alot of money in cryptocurrency.

Most often the user himself is guilty that his wallet was hacked. More and more people are getting acquainted with cryptocurrency, but they forget about security. This is very sad ...

hacker can hack your mail or other online source where you keep privet keys. or they can send you fishing site where you will login. for example.

I have noticed that this wallet hacking thing is very common among bounty hunters because most often i see hunters requesting bm to change their campaign wallet because wallet has been compromised, i think people have applied caution when using their email and anything related to where information is been stored a to avoid possible hack, that would be a horrible experience.

A wallet can be cracked by absolutely any person, no one is immune from this. In addition, you often need to change your operating wallet if you tied it to any decentralized exchange. I do not tie the main wallet to the exchanges, so I don’t have to change it often.

I prefer to use many wallets to store the assets that I have. it makes me more comfortable in saving assets because I will not lose all my assets if the worst is possible. everyone can experience this crime, but we must remain vigilant about it.

Yes it's possible, that's why you need to clean your pc every month and don't download something suspicious because it can contain a malware or something like that, that can hack your wallet in your pc, also always using 2fa on every account and all your wallet to protect it.

It is very possible, if you are not alert and never check when logging in then you can get hacked, when I go online and activate Windows Defender a lot of malicious programs are successfully blocked, always being vigilant and making sure to enter the correct site is mandatory.

If you enable 2FA, then the chances are that no one will be able to steal coins from your wallets. But I have heard a few incidents in which 2FA was breached with simultaneous hacks in to the online wallet and the associated gmail account / phone number.

All the wallets can be hacked but that happens most of the time  when we are not using all the security measures.
Hard wallets like Ledger Nano S or trezor are the safest way of storing our crypto assets.

In cryptocurrency, you should be extra careful if you never want to face hacking. Hacking done through e-mails, malicious links provided in mail, or you lose your private key to any third party. If you take care of these things and never lose your private key, hacking is nearly impossible, and do not keep your crypto info in your computer, just keep outside in external drive outside of your computer for safety purpose.

Wallet can be hack, when im newbie in crypto currency i do airdrops and bounty. Im glad to see ny work get paid by good token. It was about 100$ in total but one day come there is notiication that all of my coins getting transfered to hackers wallet. I have no idea what was happened that time. I never give my private keys to any form and not careless on accessing links

[misterjo]

Most Hackers do not try to look for vulnerabilities in the wallets because it is extremely difficult (especially in the most popular) .... because the wallets do not keep your private keys or your account, so they try to attack the user (he is more prone to fall) ... you have to be careful where you use your private keys and others, always verify that they are official wallets

[ShakilTaj35]

Yes, it is possible. Most of the time hackers sent an spam email with phishing website. When someone click on the link and enter website. The hacker get the all information of the owner.

If you take viruses on your pc, yes, but if you try to hack the bitcoin address and get private key then is impossible, because of many factors and cryptography which is very good for people who trust on bitcoin.

This hacking incident happened to me before. It is useful to constantly update your computer's antivirus. I had a trojan-like thing on my computer and I lost a lot on that day. Should be constantly up-to-date and accounts must be constantly changed.
