There are certain things hackers cannot do. And one of those is crack passwords that are very well made, i.e. at least 8 characters, and a variety of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and symbols. It simply isn't worth it to try to crack these as it takes longer than the age of the universe on a single machine. Now, if you use multiple or larger machines then simply increasing the number of characters and you will still be fine. Smiley

Yes they can, Hackers have all the tools to exploit all of your information. On my opinion hackers are the most powerful in terms of digital or technology matter.

Hackers are only as powerful as your security is lax.

1) When using an online service such as an bitcoin exchange: Enable 2-Factor-Authentication (like Google authenticator) on your account!

2) Always have direct control of your bitcoins (private keys). If you don’t have the keys, you don’t control the bitcoins.

3) Make regular backups of your bitcoin wallet!

4) The device that hosts your wallet, determines the security of your wallet. Always use the most updated, effective virus scanning available, and practice safe web browsing standards (porn is your enemy).

Bitcoin offline wallet is very safe but bitcoin online wallet is not so safe. We know that now a lot of web fishing that can deceive you. So your password and email can be hacked. Some of my friends have experienced the loss of bitcoin caused by hackers.
Correct, even if you have some knowledge about computers and are aware of some of the risk lurking on the internet, you must always remember there is always someone smarter than you and that knows more about it, that is why it is better to not let any significant amount of money in an online wallet or an exchange or you could be a victim of a hacker that found a new way to steal bitcoins.

can they hack into our wallet. There are many professional hackers out there. What are the chances? Also what is the safest way to safeguard ourself?
Yes, they can, if the security of your wallet is weak. There are actually different ways of hacking. First and the simplest way is by phishing where they can get you personal info for your wallet (username, gmail, and password). They will have no trouble hacking your account with this one. The other ways (which are more complex) is done when your account/wallet has no 2FA. I recommend you to use 2FA if you want a more secured account.

I think yes if your private key is in public. But if you don't do that hacker will go away because 32bit hexadecimal code is hard to generate. And bitcoin has high security

Probably yes, everything can be hack by those stupid and shitty hackers. There were issues that someone stoles their waller keys but honestly it us so hard to hack somebodies' account because bitcoin is highly secured and well designed security.

Dude, don't dull!
some user's wallet here has been hacked before, that's why your wallet security password should be as kept as possible.
well it is not so easy to hack a bitcoin in the past it was possible but now bitcoin has become strong a lot it is not easy to hack it or to snatch it now because bitcoin organizers has introduced a lot of  wallets for this purpose and if you can keep the password and the security key of your bitcoin with you then no one can ever hack your bitcoin and if someone will snatch it from you then it will be useless for him until he knows your password and the private key of your bitcoin wallet so no worries you can keep your bitcoin for long time in your wallet.

There are a possibility that they can hacked our wallet, especially when they are professional of hacking an accounts, and with lots of amount of bitcoin, as I remembered, some hackers hacked bitcoin and bitcoin amount decrease its amount, so maybe there are a possibilities that they can also hacked an ordinary wallet account.

Nothing is actually impossible, it could be hacked but with the measures put in place it would be very hard for that to happen, it can only happen probably maybe by users carelessness.

Well, I think they can hack it because anyrhing in online can be hacked. In addition to that, if you do want to lose your wallet I suggest to keep your private key in private place like vault and use 2fA to totally secure your wallet. Do not click any suspicious link and think before you click because there is possibility that the link you click is the sites that made of hackers.

Yes. Bitcoin is hacked by hackers every single day and stolen from innocent people's wallets. If you have spyware/malware on your pc you can get hacked easily!
In case of getting password through a key logger, hackers have to install that app on your digital device which is basically done by tricking people to click some false links etc. The best is to stay conscious when you are roaming around the internet.

In second case, the user can access the wallet but at the same time, the hackers will be accessing it too. However, cold storage is a help. Security updates should be installed on regular basis, totally agree with you. A very nice piece of info. Thanks for sharing.
it is true that bitcoin has security and it is making bitcoin more secure to keep it in a hardware wallet and no one can ever hack your wallet and your bitcoin but if you will not give your password and the private key of your wallet to anyone else. If you want to keep your bitcoin secure then you should use the blockchain and if you don’t want to use any wallet then don’t ever give your private key to anyone.

I think Bitcoin is hard to hack if you do not lose your account key. In addition, you should not visit fraudulent, fake or unidentified websites, which will prevent hackers from accessing your device.

Anything can happened if you don't take security measures. It's you to decide to secure your keys or not or be hacked or not.

Indeed. Even professional hackers can't hack your wallet because of their high security. In addition to that, some people say that their wallet was hack by hacker and I think the reason is the poor security and you should activate 2fa to totally secure your wallet and you should keep your private key.

Well, basically it is to get into the wallet system that is in bitcoin all hackers would have trouble to break it down. Because their defense is very high, so they can only be broken into the negligence of the owner of the addres or wallet. So it's better to start thinking now how to use the right wallet so as not to be the target of hackers to take our funds. It is true that you must activate 2fa, because it is very important but it must be kept well

The short answer to the op's question is yes!
ofc BTC wallet can be hacked by hackers if the owner of the wallet is not cautious about what he is doing.
there had been a plenty of cases in which the BTC from users offline BTC wallet has vanished in other words got stolen by hackers.
