There are so many wallets. Online and offline. Is that now a 100% guarantee that it won't be accessed by any outsider? Certainly not. It makes our btc and other altcoins safe but if hackers really have the intention to siphon off those meager funds of ours, they can. They have done it to the CIA, to the Pentagon, to FBI, with all the confidential files. Hackers are always a threat.

The safest way to avoid hackers is to buy hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger Nano. Hackers cannot hack if your wallet is not connected online. They can only be hack your wallet by getting your private key or user name and password if it is an online wallet like blockchain.info or Coinbase.

I don't think hackers can hack your bitcoin wallet out of thin air, as if you use a secure password even your compromised wallet file cannot be bruteforced for obtaining the bitcoins. The case of online wallets is completely different as there could be a loop hole in their security that can be exploited to get server access and then obtain user accounts and their bitcoins. But for obtaining bitcoins from your computer the Hacker has to have a key logger installed in your computer to record your pass phrase to unlock the bitcoin wallet.
Agreed with you, if we take proper precautions and safety of our system and the login credential then it is difficult for the hackers to get the access of the wallet. People should avoid to save such confidential details on their computer in order to avoid such instance.
Always use different PC or mobile for logging into the wallets, that will keep hackers far away. Hackers are everywhere and they try to hack whatever they think and their job is hacking.

Hardware wallets can't be hacked, so I suggest that.
I do think that wallets can be hacked if their security is not strong enough like settings up small or weak password,or even opening or downloading some virus embedded files.Also storing private keys and activating 2FA would give hackers a hard time hacking our wallets.But wallets are pretty secure as there aren't many cases of hacking if it were the case then bitcoins would be in trouble.
that is right, hackers can only get the access to your access if your protection is not too strong. so better be careful to take care of your wallet to avoid being hack by the hackers. you can secure it by putting 2fa or any other verification codes.

Yes, there are many possible cases that can happen. The usual case is because of the wallet user's password is not that strong and can easily be hacked. Some other cases is when a virus, specifically a spyware or a malware has entered your computer and stole your information. Have a strong antivirus and a strong password and use a reliable wallet provider.

Its possible for sure if you don't take the measures to safeguard your digital assets. Its as easy as sending a word file embedded with a virus to you. If you are using a bitcoin wallet on a computer, you should always set a strong password with many prefixes to reduce the chance of getting hacked as it may get cracked after being stolen. Secondly make sure you have a strong antivirus on your computer. Also its not advised to store bitcoin on online wallets as its easier to get stolen. If so you are using an online wallet, always use 2FA or Authy to secure yourself. Lastly if you want absoulte protection, use a hardware wallet such as trezor or ledger.

very possible if the security is not done by the owner of the wallet account because I experienced it. my bitcoin wallet at that time was hacked by other people even though the balance in my wallet pretty much. at that time I have not used the security facility google authenticator so hackers are very easy to access my wallet. then with that, for you do not forget to use all the existing security facilities, do not let my experience happen back to you.
bitcoin is a safe and secure money and bitcoin hacking can not be so easy because now in bitcoin there are lots of wallet inventions so bitcoin is safe but there may be some bugs in your computer's system or laptop but not the system of bitcoin wallet. Users can control, monitor and access their accounts with their own security settings provided by the privilege string. They can change your password. Thats why use wallet that you can not use email like electrum. We need to put a high security passeord so it is not vurnerable for any attack and we can breathe respelym and try to use the 2fa password so they will not decript it.

In my own opinion, i think hackers cannot hack into your bitcoin wallet to steal all of your bitcoins if you are invisible to all active hackers because they cannot detect and find your bitcoin wallet. But if you are very visible maybe hackers could get in to your account and steal all of your bitcoins.
Yes, it is possible that our bitcoin can be hacked since nowadays with the innovation of technology any hacker can create/invent any system that can hack any wallet that we have. But we have a lot of precautions to avoid this from happening, I read a lot of it from this thread 
Is it possible 101% just becareful with some phishing links and sites and if they found out that you have huge amount of btc in your bitcoin account xD, brace yourself better to withdraw it as soon as possible, they can hack your wallet easily using brute force.
If you have a strong password then you cannot be hacked by the hackers and if you have a lot of bitcoins in your wallet then think about leveling up your security like turning on or enabling the 2FA so you can have another level of security that is a good way of securing or protecting your account or bitcoin wallet.
