Any wallet is vulnerable to hacks, because there are several angles of attack. A hacker might not even have to exploit the
wallet software or code. They can use the "Man in the Middle" attack strategy where they intercept the data before it is
send to the wallet or they can use a Phishing strategy where they re-direct you to their fake site or wallet software. They can
even install Malware on your computer to capture all the data that you enter to re-use it on another computer. They can steal
your seed when you create the wallet or grab your private key, when you use the wrong method to create Paper wallets for

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.If your Bitcoin wallet is hosted on your own device, personal computer or in an offline paper wallet then it cannot get hacked.
