Obviously very capable. There is no security in a world that is completely safe. All can definitely be hacked with no exception bitcoin. Especially if you do not store the wallet address correctly, the potential hack will be very large.

Anything is hackable. If its created by a human, it is imperfect and can be broken by a human. We are but mere mortals.

Yes ofcourse. As long as the hacker is a well-trained expert he can somehow hack any wallet they wanted to hack. But I believe that any wallet that we have today is have a well secured so that eventhough experts hacker cannot go into it so that our money will be saved in terms of putting it in the wallet.

Keeping it hardware/cold is the best way to prevent being hacked!
You use online wallet they store ur login info and if hackers get it they can transfer funds around least safe.
GUI Wallet also can be hacked if your computer is infested with virus.

I don't think it will be easy for hackers to hack a bitcoin wallet without its proper information. As bitcoin is a anonymous currency ut can only be tracked with the help of transaction address and it is difficult to get. I think a hacker will need all information about the wallet and its transaction address. So it will not be easy to hack a bitcoin wallet but it is still possible.

Posibility is 100%, so in order to minimize this posibility you need to have multiple wallet to distribute your bitcoin. Other way is to have your bitcoin stored in the wallet for short time, maybe you will get a fraction of its profit atleast.
Having several wallets is a good idea, that way if a hacker gets access to one of your wallets you are going to notice and instead of losing all your money you are just going to lose a small amount of your bitcoin, while losing money is always bad it is better to just lose a small amount than to lose all your bitcoin especially if we take into account the amount of effort we need to do in order to get a single bitcoin.

If you do not have a better security it is possible.On the other hand if you build a strong security it is not possible anyway.You can make strong security using secured email and unique password.Alternative way is to create a offline wallet and put it in a pendrive.

Unfortunately, nothing online is safe around hackers even with high security. Even the renowned Pentagon had been breached in the past. For us bitcoin users, added security is our best option. Cold storage, multiple signatures and using two-factor authentication(2FA) have been gaining popularity lately.

With the technology available, hackers should never be underestimated even with high security wallets. Once your bitcoin amount becomes hefty, cold storage is highly suggested. It is because hackers frequently do their thing online. Nothing is 100% hack-proof, but using a cold storage will minimize the chances.

 I agree ln that. However if your email is scured and your password is unique, there no chance for hackers to hack your bitcoin wallet since it's fully encrypted for them to prevent hacking.and don't give your private key to unkonows.

Everything can be hacked, bitcoin wallets have very good security, but hackers everyday improving theirs abilities, but not only they do that, bitcoin security also not staying on the place, they upgrading theirs wallets and defence too, just always need have big attention to anything.

thats why they called hackers they are just around and always finding chances to grab the opportunity to steal our valued possession we can't change this
fact, even the super secured information if been targeted by an hacker possibility being hacked was there, so its our responsibility to do the counter part
and secured of belongings.

The only reason for you to be hacked is to reveal your self if you clicked the wrong links that are being sent to you then that will be the only way for you to be hacked. Wallets are very secured that they have encrypted keys on it so phishing sites will be the only way for you to be hacked.

Yes always check the links who people send to you. If you do that there would be no chance to infect yourself. Beware also from downloading files from the internet they could have a walletstealer.

Use online wallets in order to save your money. If you have a locally wallet it could be easily hacked by hackers stealing it.

Two days before i heard about an issue that happened in SBT bank of india that, some of the customers lost their savings deposits from their account by some cyber criminals, the ATM cards are still safe in these customers hand .The technology is developing with this the cyber criminals and hackers are increasing .

To keep safe of your wallets try to hide all informations about your wallet from the public and have a multiple signature wallet that address with 3 prefix instead of 1.May i hope this will help you to secure your wallet.

A wallet could be hacked. If you download something on the internet it may can have a wallet stealer in it. The wallet stealer then searches your computer for your keys.

If the wallet stealer founds it he uploads it to the hackers computer. This is how the most hackers work.

Some one can steal or hacked it from your desk or wallet or where ever your holding it.If you have your private key in your computer and someone hacked your computer and have access to your private key it can be hacked,so one has to do will to protect once computer and password and private keys.You can also private this by changing your password to your email frequently.

Doing periodic password changes can be a little less than a break-in. Getting good security makes us very comfortable

Hackers, are absolutely capable of doing such things, for them it could be easy or it could be instant. Your account or your workstation could be compromise if you haven't exercise security precautions.

Most common threats:

1. Trojan
2. Keylogger
3. Ransomware
4. Even Man in the middle attack

Think before you click.

Bitcoin offline wallet is very safe but bitcoin on the web wallet is not so risk-free. We know that now a good deal of web fishing that can deceive you. So your password and e mail can be hacked. Some of my buddies have skilled the decline of bitcoin caused by hackers.
