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.

I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?

Yes online wallets or everything in online can be hack even though we have the longest password, or we keep our keys safely. Even bitcointalk.org is not safe and sometimes is try to be hacked by hackers. There are so many ways like example imitating websites having same interface but with different address.

Yes, crypto currency surely can be hacked. Nowadays, hackers are very smart. They uses lots of strategies just to take advantage of your weakness. The best thing to do is not to trust anyone regarding your accounts. Keep your private key/password in a very safe place.

Everything can be hacked, after it depends on if it's a cold stored wallet or how they keep their secret keys

Surely cryptocurrency can be hacked even it is potential to be hacked because in cyberspace has a greater potential to be hacked. Therefore, in some countries bitcoin has not been legalized for reasons of security and user convenience from coins theft. As long as we maintain the confidentiality of our account properly and do not provide information regarding the account to anyone, then we can minimize that potential.

Depends on how well you guard your crypto assets. If your security and vigilance is top-notch believe no one can hack you but being careless with sensitive information like the passphrase, private keys, keystore and password would definitely make your wallet susceptible to hacking.

any wallet can be hacked. especially if your computer is infected by a trojan or virus it is quite possible you to loose your cryptocurrencies. You can use hardware wallets such as trezor and ledger for a better protection.

Anything can be hacked, if you are not careful. Pay great attention to bolstering your online security. Also, be mindful of the information you are sharing with others to prevent getting hacked.


I really agree with this, we don't underestimate the network security and hardware that we use when opening a wallet, keep your wallet safe like you take care of yourself...

Technically yes. If someone hits the right private key or a seed phrase - funds are gone. Of course it is very difficult to perform practically.

As long as we secure our private keys , hackers couldn't do anything to access our accounts and wallets. That's why it is important that we'll know how to keep our private keys safe and we should not share it to anybody. We should limit our trust to people who we don't know well. Private keys should be kept in private.

As far as we can see they are unable to hack because they were not hacked at least one still time they're existing and if there's almost 10 years from now, so you can sleep calm, and not be worried about.

Maybe yes, a technology must have a bug that can be broken instantly. and that might happen to bitcoin wallets.
But if you store correctly your personal key, I feel it's very little possible from a attack of hackers.
Actually the most vulnerable point is a human holding the private key. The device is rarely the attack vector. I remember a story on this forum by a guy who wanted to get the free air-dropped coins (worth maybe a tiny fraction of his bitcoin holdings) and entered his bitcoin private keys into an attacker-provider wallet. In effect he lost all his bitcoins. Please tell me who was attacked in this case? His computer or he himself?

And that scheme repeats itself over and over - we people are where hackers usually strike, not our computers.

Anything made by, accessed and maintained by man is never infallible. The one thing hackers could use is a man stupidy by using phising websites. They could beore creative by going into people's devixes who is connected to a public network. But then again, I'm people working in the wallets have their protections and securities.

Anything that is secured digitally can be hacked most especially if you are not taking good care of your account's info. There are lots of ways hackers employ to get what they want from you so you better be careful at all times. Never trust to strangers you meet online and even your family members too. Smiley
Well, I think so. even exchangers can also be stolen. well, I've found things like that several times. Of course between those complicated systems and defenses, there is always a way to steal it.
Yes that is right, there are so many cases where the whole exchanges have been hacked. So it is no doubt very much possible that cryptocurrency wallet can easy hack, I think that we need to keep our wallet safe by giving extra security to our wallets.
