At this moment I think it is possible.Because Bitcoin Wallet is not using any strong security.Although we see that Bitcoin uses only the BlackBerry technology in the transaction.However, it is applicable only for transactions.Although we see some wallets such as mobile verification procedures being done in Coinbase.Nevertheless, I think it's no different for professional hackers.

You only get hacked if you don't make your wallet secure, you can use 2FA if you don't use cold/hard/paper wallet that you control the private keys. Hackers have been trying to hacks wallets there are successful but I think only few.

Yes there have been many cases where bitcoins form wallet have been vanished but these cases are very low. Keep your wallet password strong and your account logged out. Avoid writing down password. Blockchain the best upto my knowledge.

There's a wrong concept in this question. The Bitcoin actually can't be hacked, it's too hard and difficult; what hackers do is put a trojan in some junk mail which the user open, steal all the info about the wallet (address, password, etc). 2fa is enought to avoid hackers problem

By taking into consideration the wallet of bitcoins being on the internet, then it is always subject to hacking. Though being digital may be inclined towards technological advancement, what hinders its success is the tendency for it to be hacked. That is why digital currencies cannot be at the moment, be the main medium of exchange and replace fiat. Personally, I suggest that you keep your bitcoins in separate wallets in order to reduce and avoid the risks of losing all of your investments. It may not be the best advice but it surely fixes the problem.

This is what scare me, that i am saving bitcoins bit by bit and one day i wake up and see all of my bitcoins gone. It's happening to people around the globe, as hackers are very active and trying to steal people coin.

The risk of having your bitcoin stolen is not bigger than the risk of having your paypal funds stolen or the money in your bank accounts but the difference is that with bitcoin once that money is outside your wallet there is no way to get that money back, so you need to be very careful, if possible have a hard drive that only contains the OS and the wallet where you store your funds and have that hard drive hidden and not connected to the Internet, that will lower the chances you are hacked.

I'd even suggest a flash drive because that can be easily kept in a locker somewhere and then you have your private keys stored away from everyone else. It must be emphasized that a lot of hacking starts with social engineering and so we should be extra careful in the way we let out information and guard our private keys by keeping them offline.

There is a large possibilities that bitcoin wallet can hacked. hacker has many ways to hacked their target not only by using internet their are using multiple procedure to do a specific job like why hacked the wallet if you can hacked the user using social engineering and your biggest weakness is your computers, this will allow hacker to gain access to all of your files and daily transactions.

It could be possible. Hackers are really imaginative and wise to do that. As far as I've heard, the hackers are getting younger and younger. They are experts in using computers even at a very young age. This is a problem in our society nowadays and we don't know who can stop them. If only all of us know how to operate such preventive measures for hackers. I think safety will be achieved for everybody. For now,let's keep making ourselves well equip in working with bitcoin so that we can't get any trouble.

It is possible that hackers can be hacked our wallets because there is still a use of computer and internet so the hackers can access our wallet. For us to be secured, let's be observant, we should look if there is something wrong on our computer or the site that we have accessed. Let's be aware that anytime we can be hacked.

What are you talking about bitcoin is very secure encryption. It's the password which is the weak part. if you have a good password then it would literally take forever to crack a password via brute forcing.

Yes, It is any time hacked by hackers if you don't use 2fa verification code your account can be hack any time any where. If you use google security code it is most better for your account safety. Don't share your any information with your friend's if you wan to safety your account.

They can easily hack you if you are downloading on the internet. They can give you the real software of what you download, but they hide a wallet stealer in it.

This means while you are happy and you are using the software the wallet stealer steals your wallet and it will send it to the hacker.

Indeed a lot of professional hacker is out of there be mindful.Â I consider to secure your accounts to hackers. help save to your notes or save to one more accounts . so you will not forget your password . becuase many motives why individuals steal their accounts is forgetting their account.

It is upto your security steps which you take for your bitcoins wallet will save your wallet from hackers. if you are not day trader then you can better deposit in a desktop wallet store them and take backup and delete the wallet folder as soon as the main wallet files are backed up. Use wallet on the system which is used only for bitcoin wallet. If you really wanted to safe
