It is possible for hackers to hack into your bitcoin wallet if you save them in online wallets there are lot of chance for it to get hacked as it completely depends on how secure you maintain it.creating a cold storage wallet like hardware wallet like trezor,paper based wallet,offline computer wallet are some of the safest forms of wallets which i use to save my btc but there is small issue with offline computer wallet incase your system get damaged and if you forget to save the private keys will end up loosing offline computer based wallet even if system get hacked but the chance is less as compared to online wallet.

It is not impossible for this occurrence to come to completion. In this digital age, many people can easily fimd ways to get into the system. Imagine government websites with their top security and all can be hacked and destroyed by hackers or cam be infected with malware. It is possible that bitcoin system will be attacked as well. I do hope that site maintenance people of bitcoin can also secure this site and their wallets so that users will be secured. On the part of the users it is important to be vigilant and alert when using online transactions. Do not share your passwords with anyone and secure your private keys as well.

i think there are some experts in the world that can be able to hack the online wallet and this will also only possible when you do any mistake while they were trying to hack your account but the desktop wallet is impossible or very difficult to hake because to stole private keys is not a simple or easy work.

Online wallets are less secure compared to hardware/desktop wallets. Of course,best option is hardware wallets like trezor or nano ledger. Desktop wallet is hackable and has vulnerabilites.
Actually the possibility to hack is always there for every wallet you choose. be it desktop wallet or online wallet. I myself have never tried hardware wallet so I can not judge it. for desktop wallet you can minimize the risk of hacking by adding antivirus on your computer and for online wallet you can use authentication or 2fa to log in your account. I use 2fa for 5 years in online wallet and I have never been hacked

Yes they can possibly hack your wallet if you do disclose your private keys to them this is why its really important for us to store up our keys as safest as possible because from the word itself private keys.This would really be the access to your wallet. Once its breached and transfered all the funds inside it then you cant do anything about it but cry for your lost coins.

Online bitcoin wallets are possible to hack but desktop wallets are very hard to hack without using private key it will take a lot of time before a hacker can crack the private-key of a certain wallet maybe it can take a year or more, much more easy to hack a windows os where those private key are stored and steal it lol.
I also think so, online wallet is not really safe, it can be stolen at any time. Working directly on the web makes they are very vulnerable to holes and are used by bad guys. I have completely removed the wallets online to use offline wallet software on my desktop. Although it is still at risk of being compromised by very small vulnerabilities or viruses, I feel it is quite safe, as you say, private key is required to use. If possible, I would probably use a cold storage wallet like Trezor, which is almost at absolute safety

I think it's can be hacked especially online wallet but it requires a lot of time and effort from the hacker. We can also increase the security by using desktop wallet which is a lot of harder for them to crack the private key. That's why we should secure our pc to prevent someone stealing our private key.

If you use a secure wallet, the hackers are not afraid of him. There are wallets using double passwords, codewords, two-factor authentication system. For example, Blockchain.info. If you use all degrees of protection, then your bitcoins can not threaten anything.

My answer is no.It can't be hacked by the hackers until you share your password with someone or you use your password in many sites

Everything is hack able. In fact most peoples passwords are very easy to bruteforce let alone if they know a part of the password. Hacking into the encryption is near impossible but a password people tend to go with certain patterns and certain words.

The web sites themselves at the very least the huge ones are protected. It's a issue of what you do with the data in between here and there, your passwords keys and items of that nature. The non-public Keys by themselves are generally unhackable, it could be done but the methods would be far more pricey than the outcomes.

The hacker can't hack your online wallet unless you share your password with them.Also if you use same password in several websites it can be hacked.If you have enough security in your wallet it can't be hacked.
I think they can easily hack your online data. Yes it is hard for hackers to hack offline data so storing bitcoins in a offline wallet would be safe perhaps. Anything which is linked online and shared from several devices could be accessed or hacked by the hackers.

Even some online wallets could be hacked by some professional hackers with a lot skills. We can't predict the future of any wallet as bitcoin itself is a anonymous currency which is mainly used by the hackers and surely they might be trying to get into some huge balance wallets to steal the funds.

Hackers can compromise everything but a wallet on your desktop is hard to hack unless your PC is compromised with keyloggers or other malwares that will let them access your wallet.

in the hacker nothing is impossible if it is on the internet or online.yes there's many malware on different site you don't know that you're online wallet that you trust maybe its one of these too. and if not i think the hacker can make way just to steal your bitcoin especially if you have more bitcoin they got interest on your account. for me the safest way is to the offline wallet of what we called cold storage in this site this is ofline and it have self security when the hackers steal your bitcoin also you can put the bitcoin in to your usb using of this.
