Yes it can be hacked. every online wallet can be hacked,whatever they tell you. There were small compromises of CoinBase in the past and people lost bitcoins. offline wallets are probably the safest.

Correct, if we're talking about a server side attack (on Coinbase) then there could be trouble. As far as just access of use for your account, it is extremely secure with 2FA. As others have said, best case is not to keep any assets in the cloud.

Armory is highly recommended!

everything can be hacked but it depends how hard is it to do so because some sites are extremly secured from such attacks Wink

Thanks I am just building up a few K for now. Once I build up more I will look into paper wallet and securing it.

Not unless someone has both your password and your phone; otherwise, no.

Ok thanks good to know. I am treading into BTC. Just hearing about all sorts of scams and hacking I just want to protect myself.

I would prefer 3 factor ID, password, yubiKEY, and google authenticator.

Be warned any kind of online wallet is not safe, no matter how big the reputation of company, since you actually never have the wallet in your possession.

Can Coinbase be hacked if you use 2 factor Authentication, email address associated Gmail with 2 factor ID with SMS verification. Gmail is my regular account which I log into often.

I log in on my laptop which is fairly secure and smart phone android.
