I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?
You know, everything in internet can be hacked. As long as the wallets are in the internet, it is vulnerable to hackers. Just do your role by not giving your keys to anyone. With that idea, you can help your self to be secured.

Usually the wallet will not be attacked, because the black one can't attack your wallet. But it can steal your information, do you understand what I mean? Such as passwords and the like.

Ofcourse it can be hacked depends on how secure you are, when you are negligent then your wallet could be hacked easily. But technically, ofcourse crypto wallets could be hacked by hacking experts.
Look this can’t be possible that someone have made something and that thing is protected in a way that nobody can ever breach into it. No, this can’t just happen. Humans always have room of improvement and so is their creatures as well. Bitcoin is relatively most secure and safest coin on this earth but still there are ultra legends who even breached into accounts of its holders.

No they will not be hacked.  The only way anyone can get your funds in these wallets is if you make a mistake with your security.  The algorithms that are used to secure these wallets are unbelievably secure. 
that's false dude.we heard many news that many exchange walllet hacked.and also cryptocurrency wallet too.few days ago many people claims that their balance in myetherwallet stolen.

Ok buddy but there's a big difference between an online exchange and a crypto wallet. If you keep your own wallet in Electrum, Core, etc. like the OP said, you cannot possibly be hacked unless you are careless with your security. Exchanges, on the other hand, are quite susceptible to hacks because a lot of them don't practice good security. They might have 2FA, sure, but that's not a guarantee. There's always a back door in which is why there needs to be fraud prevention specialists on duty 24/7 at major payment systems like PayPal and banks. I highly doubt that these exchanges are paying to have competent fraud prevention specialists sitting and protecting their exchanges 24/7.

They are not hackable. But the hackable part here is your wallets. Not their system. Wallets of users can be hacked by using phishing or keyloggers fake, websites like that.  Some of the people are thinking about a cryptocurrency hacked. It is depend on their security why would an investor will invest or put money on a project if they knew that it isn't good at security.

there is nothing safe in the digital world, there is always a gap for hackers, but there is always a system of periodic maintenance for every existing wallet system, at least the level of encryption becomes more complicated and makes the gap smaller and becomes very difficult to penetrate, for now it doesn't look perfect, but the current level of security is very capable of comforting its users.

everything what is based on internet could be hacked but there is so many ways to secure our wallet and not bring attention to it that we could sleep calm if we will be just responsible.

You should secure 2FA and email security carefully, do not log in and use the wifi network outside and absolutely do not click on strange links. In addition, the site of the electronic money trading platform should also be bookmarked and only click bookmark to open pages, restrict input of the address by keyboard to avoid errors, leading to opening of password scam page.

It can be since technology is rising nowadays and it is still improving as time passes by. The best thing we can do to avoid getting hacked is through making sure that the wallet we've chosen is proven and tested to be a very safe one. Do not spread informations about you and your wallet so that you can avoid getting stolen. Always be smart and careful with all of you decisions.

I think that is not impossible. everything can be hacked, There is no 100% security for anything online. Hackers are bad. but they don't stop, but they can't stop digital world either.

the possibility of a wallet on a hack is very small unless you give privatkey to someone else, as long as you become a password and private key properly I think the bitcoin or ethereum wallet will be safe

However wallets are also fragile as they are also born through programming. There is a likelihood of hacking any wallet, even the paper wallets if the server with those details are hacked. So it is your part to take your own risk in keeping coins or tokens in these wallets or moreover to being in this crypto field.

If you do not take precautions, it is easy for hackers to attack your wallet. If you use security carefully, no one can hack and steal your wallet.

Yes for me it is possible to get hacked...  I cannot tell that it is not secure but we cant limit the ability of the professional hackers...  If we have an updated and secure wallet soon they will now it and have their own strategy to penetrate it...  As long us we used internet we cant reduce the chances of being victims of it...  Thats why it is advisable to have a hardware wallet because it is much secure...

I think if pertains to digital wallets, and hackers are very smart enough to know how it is to hack so, be very careful with them. Use 2FA so that wallets can be protected.

I have heard news about hacking of exchanges but no really heard about cryptocurrency wallet hack. you know there is reason we have access of private key for cryptocurrency wallet like MEW, metamask and mist.
All the while we won't neglect hackers because they may come up with latest trick to hack blockchain so wallets should have to update their features according to requirement so our funds will be safer over there.

all might be stolen or hacked because every wallet must have a gap to exploit. when we are more careful storing address wallet, private key and other important data, we will avoid it all

Yes, it can happen, so we should be careful. Remember that computer and internet are man-made and because of this it is also possible for a hacker person to destroy or assume or take anything inside the computer file/data etc. My advise is avoid placing a huge amount on your cryptocurrency wallet.
