Everything can be hacked, after it depends on if it's a cold stored wallet or how they keep their secret keys
Everything is possible that can be hacked but if we keep our privacy secure then there is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if you do not take care of your wallet passkey or password then someone else will steal your wallet with all those hard earnings or precious amount. Security and insecurity are up to us if we keep everything in private mode then feel safe.

I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?
Wallets can be hacked only on one condition, if the hacker gets hold of some hole created by the owner/user of the wallet. This case is true for wallets that are truly decentralized like bitcoin. Some wallet's security feature may be so out of place that it will make the first case I pointed out to be a two-way thing, that is, even the software itself can be hacked.

To all thinking that it is impossible to hack their super-protected cryptocurrency wallet:

Obviously, as I have stated in my earlier post, the weakest link in crypto protection is the human element.

I have a wallet in trusted and private server so the hacking chances there is less as compared to others but or this you have to be careful and access your wallet from your personal devices computer and phone.

Nothing is safe form the hands of cyber criminals as long as they see a very tiny hole in your account. They will surely breach on it and will never have any remorse of looting all the goodies you have in your wallet. So let's just be very careful because we are the ones who will be blame if our wallets are hacked, in the first place.
They create it and they can also destroy it. Talking about the security of the wallet, it is hard to be safe. And very dangerous criminals will quickly take possession of your property quickly. So we should be careful and learn to protect them.
Yes we are the one who is responsible for it. We must be careful on taking care of our wallet private keys. Once we give it to. Untrustworthy person there is a big possibility to be hacked. Our wallet was safe as we keep our private keys in a safe plsce as well.

All wallets can be cracked, as strong as any security of your wallet if you give private key or you are always phishing on the web or an address asking for a wallet password to login on their web page, your wallet will be easy to hack.

Anything that has access online can be vulnerable for hacking.

That's why they hire hackers to repeatedly hack their security and see loop holes. It is also the reason why there are several verification steps before you could create an account.

Absolutely. And i am speaking from my own experience. I don't know how and i have no inkling that my crypto wallet will be hacked. I am so darn careful in handling it but it just did. Hackers can really turn the impossible to possible.

I haven't heard that Electrum got hacked, neither Neon and Bitcoin Core. I am not saying that they won't get hack. I believe white hackers are pursuing every day to enter the system so that they will know the flaws.

As technology grows into modernization, the possibilities for that thing to happen also grows into a larger capability and capacity to happen which we cannot surely state that a certain crypto wallet can be safe at all because even you have secured featured system on your account, as long as there are greedy people wanting to have an access into your cryto wallet, they can make it possible since crypto or virtual money can never be safe into the hands of those greedy hackers out there so even those secured wallets can be also hacked.

Wallets are very secure but the operative system in which they are running can be very insecure, there are people holding millions of dollars worth of coins and yet they are using a pirated operative system and install all kind of compromised programs in their machines, it is obvious that if they do that they are going to eventually lose their money to hackers.

Electronic wallet is very easy to be attacked by hackers who attack hackers who are always looking for ways to attack us they want to steal the same in our micro, you should be careful security

Our wallet can be hacked in my opinion, all because of the negligence of the owner, because they often change computers or use the free internet network, because if I use the 2fa code I think it's very difficult to hack our wallet

All wallets never guarantee 100% safe from being hacked, this is what makes us have to care about security, enable all security features provided and divide bitcoin into many wallets.
Yeah no wallet is sure to be safe 100% but even then bitcoin wallets are much safe as compare to all other crypto currency wallets, Bitcoin has a lot of wallets as blockchain which best wallet among all and it is high in demand because no one ever heard about hacking of blockchain, so no worries now bitcoin and crypto currencies has become famous enough so hacking is now almost up to zero.

Security is an illusion. Nothing is 100% secure. As long as it is built to resist hacks then, it can be hacked. I have read where many online wallets get hacked. However, the new trend of building offline wallets has gone a long way to prevent hacks. It's better that way. In the end, nothing is ever truly safe.

Crypto currency wallet ,have many varieties to choose from ,but I believe all this crypto wallet are safe from the hackers, because if they can be hacked ,no crypto holders will trust this wallet anymore but they are safe enough from those hackers, the holders of this wallets should be responsible for their private keys ,because this is the safe way to keep your wallet from hackers.

Nothing is perfect, rest assured that there are always loopholes for hackers, they do anything so we must always be vigilant, the best and safest thing to protect assets is to divide into many wallets so that when we get a problem in one wallet then another wallet still safe.

I can't answer you because I'm not a hacker. In theory, hackers can't attack any wallet, but black can steal your information. It's dangerous if it's a private key.
This sounds a bit hilarious because you look like you are dealing in Bitcoin that is why you are here and once you are dealing in Bitcoin, you should know about the hacking stuff. Anyhow, I say yes wallets could be easily hacked because everything over here in the crypto is in the form of codes and codes can easily be broken. But Blockchain has greatly reduced the risk of your wallets being hacked and it provides a very safe platform for the users to ensure their safety.
