An offline wallet is unhackable, given that the wallet is offline.

Yes it is very easy for the hackers to hacker your account. Its security depends on you, how yoi handle your account. Bitcoin's rising price is the main attraction for the hackers to hack them the main thing is that how are you protecting your account. The other thing is that never keep all your BITCOINS in a single account because when one account is hacked by hacker then you will have other account with some bitcoins left behind.

Yes can be hacked, system is secure as long as honest nodes collectively control more CPU power than any cooperating group of attacker nodes.  Chances are rare,
Nothing can happen on the off chance that you simply introduce a decent antivirus in light of the fact that on the off chance that you are having great antivirus then nobody can access to your PC on the off chance that you are having Mac or updated window then likewise nobody can access to your PC so make sure that you should need to overhaul things.

can they hack into our wallet. There are many professional hackers out there. What are the chances? Also what is the safest way to safeguard ourself?
Technically yes but its not as easy as it sounds but from what other cryptocurrency users have posted about their experience on different forums its seems most compromised wallets are usually as a result of phishing, keyloggers or malicious software and if we restrict our selves by using a pc dedicated for our wallet and other important stuff the chances are slim to get hacked.

It depends on its users since it can be hacked through phising/SQL program. The chances can't be determined since we don't have a basis. The safest way to guard yourself is to use 2fa security so it's impossible to get hacked though they have your password, wallet ID/username/email.


It is very possible that bitcoin wallets can be hacked as well. The system is human made so there's also a possibility that others can intrude. Well, I think the safest thing is to have multiple wallets or just be very careful of the security necessities.
Having multiple wallet is one of the good strategy to secured your account, also if you have online wallet using alphanumeric password is the most applicable to do to lessen the risk of your account and used special character to hard guesting your password.
Honestly this is my strategy to secured my wallet to the intruders and hacker.
The method to keep safe your Bitcoin not different the method to keep safe your money or gold in reality.
Do you saving all money in one bank, even the nantional banking?
No one does that, honestly, all people always have other options to have a backup money for worst situation.

Ofcourse it can be hack. You have to make your own security with your computer and your phone. I use Google Authenticator for my phone safety. And never hold your all BTC in one account.

Security of bitcoin wallets is the sole responsibility of its users.
Rising price of bitcoin is attracting more and more hackers towards it.
It is far difficult almost impossible to break blockchain, bitcoins own security system.
So bitcoin users are the prime targets of online hackers.
We must be careful while using online services.
It is always better to take backup of your wallet after regular intervals.
Use strong alphanumeric password for wallet.
Must use updated firewall and antivirus.
If possible use desktop wallets, they are safer than any other wallets.

It seems to me that can crack your purse any. Everything depends on that, how responsibly you approach storage of information and generation of own passwords.

Bitcoin transactions and Bitcoins are protected by blockchain.
Bitcoin mobile wallets are provided by the exchanges you are dealing with so it may get hacked any time.
Rising price of bitcoin is attracting criminal activity like hacking, online fraud etc.
Its our responsibility to keep our wallet safe from them.
Use only recommended wallets.
Avoid sharing your personal informations like e-mails with strangers.
Use stronger & combined password.
Use updated antivirus.
Update firmware from time to time.
Always keep your private key safe.

One way to protect your wallet from prying eyes is to encrypt it with a strong password. This makes the crooks hard to access your wallet, but not impossible. If your computer is compromised by malware, the thief can log your keystrokes to find your password.

It depends on how you manage them. The private key stored in your wallet is the only way to access transaction data stored in a Bitcoin address. If you lose them, you will lose your Bitcoins. Therefore, they are only safe when no one can access them, and they are not lost.  Smiley

It's hard to protect your wallet if the hacker really wants to attack us, they have a lot of hacking into our system if they want to.

Big no! security of our wallet always comes to us first! If you always take precautions in preventing your account to be hacked then it is only very slim chance for our wallet to be hack. Mostly hacked wallet are victim of phising site like logging in a fake website and not keeping their private key in a safe place

With bitcoin security is a major issue for which users fear about. Hackers were found all around, but when it comes to bitcoin lot were found roaming because if stolen, it's lost forever. We cannot do anything or raise a complaint. Same time wallet services too go as a scam taking away the funds of users. So it's our own responsibility to safeguard in the better way possible.
How to secure bitcoin in the wallet yes the only use all the security features provided by the wallet provider, if we have used all the security features must be bitcoin in our wallet will be awake from the thieves unless we are alert to have given some key like a private key is not deliberately, and I suggest also always thorough because now a lot of phishing sites.
For me, I choose hardwallet or create a Bitcoin wallet in a PC do not have any virus and put all my Bitcoin in this wallet, then print my private key to paper and finally, remove this wallet to keep safe all funds if I want to hold Bitcoin for long term. I can restore that amount anytime because I have private key hehe.

if you wanna have a better security, i would recommend to have a multi signature wallet (the address with prefix of 3 instead of 1). in case of possibility of being hacked, they need certainly large amount of computing power which consumes all the possible energy in the Earth as there are more than googol (IIRC) of possible combinations and not all the private key is valid for bitcoin address.

I also very sensitive to talk about security and hacking. Its very important thing.
You recommend to use multy signature wallet, what is that mean? So sorry for my bad question.
