Oh certainly very able, especially if we often log into the wallet using public wifi. Very risky if you do it, then be careful with your wallet. Make sure you have secured properly.

It is not possible for any hacker on the earth to hack wallet directly but it is possible for hackers to hack an exchange and also your computer.If you store your bitcoin in an exchange it may be possible.

nothing permanent in his world the criminal always looking how they can got profits in away to use them ability being criminal thinking so need to aware your wallet account for the safety of everybody how avoid losses, if need to change the password every time you feel for your wallet are not safe do it.

Now the hackers are devising improvised schemes to steal passwords. My advice is not to get too dependent on the passwords. Take additional security measures, such as the two factor authentication (2FA). Installing Google authenticator in your machine may take just 2 minutes of your time. But the most important step here is to take proper backups of the 2FA device. Else, you may lose access to your wallet if you need to format your mobile phone or the desktop computer.

Actually if the hackers are that good, no amount of security can stop them from hacking into your account. So to be very safe, make sure you don't put a huge amount on your wallets and if you are using a wallet for storing coins just make sure to buy and use hardware wallets like the usb type thing.

I think you have to make a good passwords. and you need extra security fow your wallet.
I guess based on my understanding about wallets, you could enter a same account in the same wallet on your phone. And you could enter the same wallet in your cellphone. Maybe you could try to have other wallets so that not all of your btc wilk get lost because of being stored within one only wallet. And to be able to open such wallet you need to inout passwords.

Yes, Bitcoin wallet can be hacked. That's why you should consider using a software or hardware wallet instead of web one. Private keys are the proof that you are the owner of you bitcoins which I technically stored on every computer which use Bitcoin Core for example. Web wallet stores them for you so basically they are in charge of your money. It means that if someone gets into your account you will lose your money. This is why it is important to buy a hardware wallet (if you have a lot of money in crypto) or just use software wallet and encrypt your private keys. It will be a way better solution.
Lol just using web wallet want back you vulnerable to hacks. You sir, need to learn more about keeping your wallet safe. Just using desktop wallet
 and having access to your private keys won't keep your coins safe. You should make sure your computer is clean and always backup your wallet. And the safest ways are storing offline and using hardware wallets.

That's right offline wallet or back up of your personal wallets is a better idea for us to become safer from those hackers online. Vulnerability of getting hacked by criminals is increasing of todays phising activities became so rampant particular on some advertisements and pop up adds which can intrude your privacy and get those personal information coming from you. If we have string security like antivirus or malware detectors in your pc, I think you're 100 ‰ safe already.

Yes it can be hacked. Hacker always know the hole in the security. Thats their speciality.

By your logic, lets say medic must heal any disease cause its his speciality? Police should catch all criminals? What I want to say, bitcoin desktop is almost imposible to hack if you are not dump and not giving you passwords. In 99.9% thats how people are hacked, they not keeping their passwords safe.

it seems like unfortunately it can be hacked if wallet can be reachable through internet.

It is, especially if your wallet is a web wallet, it is easily to hack, mostly the hackers nowadays are using phising site so we better watch out, not to say this phising site looks like really the original one , so if you get fooled by this, then the hackers got your bitcoins before you know it. It would be better if you are going to use hardware wallet, this wallet is so hard to hack unlike those web wallets.
Yeah it could be possible because it is connected from each other or link to the other accounts. If the hackers are very smart and expert with the skills that he have,he might so inferior already. Harkers target are mostly getting or creating passwords or viruses and that's difficult to remove. If also we as a bitcoiner,we must to also basic things to avoid hackers and be alert of everything as much as possible check your phone for the unwanted applications. I think that's helpful.

The designing flaws in SS7 can help to be hacked , otherwise there are negligible chances of hack in bitcoin wallet, the bitcoin wallet in itself is very secure.

When a bitcoin wallet is hacked it could be a platform issue e.g. a zero day bug etc, however most of time the weakest link is not the system but people, phishing attempt, maleware, store passwords in emails etc. To be safe, just ensure you put the thing in a hardware wallet and have a passcode to protect the seeds too.
