Yes of course it could be hack especially if you fall to a trap wherein scammers a tool that will going to scam you. Some of the scammers or hackers will let you sign up or register to an account that will relatively be a phishing tool for them to get your important details on it that could let them log in your wallet using the information they retrieve from you especially the private key of your digital wallet.

If you’re making use of a third party wallet then your wallet can be hacked at anytime, although I think third-party wallets with two factor authentication are very secured and if they are going to be hacked it will be very difficult opposed to those with no two factor authentication.

Then if you’re making use of personal computer wallet or a wallet that is offline and stored in your device, or maybe a paper wallet, then it can’t be hacked, unless maybe someone gets hold of your private keys I think 🤔

Yes they can hack your wallet. Just don't share your private key and Password save it to yourself and if you don't know how to secure and process your coins, you may ask to a person you trusted most so they can guide you so you can learn to yourself.

In my own opinion, the only way for you to get hacked is to unintentionally reveal your self by logging on phishing sites but there is other reason for you to get hacked if you are always careful.

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.

If your Bitcoin wallet is hosted in a third party server (coinbase, blockchain, bittrex ect) then yes it can get hacked.

If your Bitcoin wallet is hosted on your own device, personal computer or in an offline paper wallet then it cannot get hacked.
This is completely incorrect, just because the wallet is stored in your own device it does not mean it cannot be hacked, the reason we see more hacks against exchanges has to do with the fact that they are big targets because of the great amount of coins that they hold, but make no mistake there is always a way to get hacked or to make you to reveal that information, some months ago thieves stole bitcoin from a trader the old fashioned way and this is only going to happen more frequently as the value of bitcoin goes up.


Yes, and small traders like us will always get ignored by hackers because they don't know how much is really on our wallet but with exchanges, they can expect on how much they can get. But we still need to be careful because maybe one of the people you know is a wanna-be hacker trying to steal your  money because you told them how much you have.
Which is why you should not trust anyone in this market, in fact one of the easiest ways to be hacked is if the hacker can get physical access to your computer since many people do not put a password in their computers, this is why you must keep the amount of coins that you are holding in secret even to your loved ones so you avoid becoming a target, after all if criminals knew that you keep a bunch of cash in your house you will be robbed immediately.
Specially online wallet have more chances to be hacked. I think we have more example in previous times when even the whole exchanges have hacked and people lost a lot of money, I think that it is too much important to use 2 factors security for our online wallet which can prevent our wallets to be hacked by the hacker.

It is an understatement saying these wallets can not be hacked considering the present Developed and advanced Technologies used by these hackers in varied manners recently. The onus lies on every owner to be so much careful and guide against their Private keys strongly at any point in time. If you must to operate your systems anywhere such like public places like hotels and Parks, ensure your IPs are strictly hidden or you dare not operate at all just as an instance, my opinion.

Yes ,cryptocurrency wallets can be hacked even the almighty etheruem wallet/website get hacked all the time.
The easiest way to get hacked is clicking on every link that comes your way.
We need to be very cautious of our wallets so as to avoid being hacked.

Hacked into a good job. I love cryptocurrency and technology in the right direction. I believe that they can do it is a new way to have the right direction, but we can do to the fullest extent possible. Cause I think it is to say, I do a good thing that you need an online business, I do a lot of cryptocurrency
This reminded me of the top third hacker of the world Shahmeer Amir who has hackes more than 400 websites including Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Snapchat. This is not easy and making money by hacking is easy but he has started using his skills to improve the security rather than hacking the websited and accounts.

This is something that helps improve our society and we all sjould equally participate. The cyber laws should be implemented strictly to restrict the hackers and keep the information of he people privet.

Some time ago I found info that bitcoin wallets can be hacked through the vulnerabilities that are currently available in cellular networks. This is a vulnerability in SS7 networks. During the experiment, the specialists managed to access the pre-created bitcoin-wallet in Coinbase.
Phishing links - they are also actively used by scammers.

My answer will be in favour of yes and no both , because it depends upon our choice to choose the wallet wether we are going with the official wallet of bitcoin ( as an example) or we are going with the third party wallets .
If we will choose blockchain.info then there is no chance that our wallet can be hack ( condition is that we should not share any type of data with anyone ) and if we will go with the third party wallet then there may be chances that emails can be hacked and then the hacker will reset the password of of your account and will transfer all the amount of the money at his own adress .
In my whole 5 year experience in this field , I didn't found that anyone lost his money with his official platform of bitcoin but at exchange and third party few people lost because they exposed Thier own email id and vistited to any sucspicious link without thinking about the privacy and security  .

of course, it can be hacked, as long as we can protect the wallet, then we are safe and we don't have to be afraid of the hack. there are a lot of ways to secure our wallet from the hacker especially if we can save the private key on that wallet. and if you make a password for the wallet, try to combine the phrase with the number and alphabetical and special character so it will more difficult to hack.
