Any piece of software can be hacked under the right circumstances, but hackers are not going to take the hard road unless they have to, most people think of hackers as guys that can enter in any computer using code, and while the very best fit that definition most hackers use social engineering, basically they are going to deceive you to click a link that infects your computer and then they can steal your password and private key. Probably everything is able to be hacked, but the main problem is not in the code, or in the security system. The main problem is you'll be human. 99% of every hack that ever been performed, is because human made some mistakes before that.

I think hack is unavoidable eventually. You just need to be prepared for that and try to secure your account the most, and also you need to diversify your capital, not holding it the particular one account.

Absolutely! Nothing is safe nowadays. Impossible things for ordinary people like us, were always possible to hackers. Speaking from my own experience, my wallet was hacked just about 2 months ago. To think that i was very very cautious in handling my wallet and yet, a total stranger benefited from my hard earned tokens. If execrating can kill, that hacker would be dead by now.
Why not. Cryptocurrency wallets can be hacked. Several wallets have been hacked in the past. For your wallet to be hacked, it means the hacker has access to some vital information such as private keys, keystore files or passwords. This information can be gotten if you input your information unto a phishing site, or a close associate steals them from your system, or through some malware or spyware.
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
cold storage.

Of course even you secured it it will be back because hackers is smart and they do anything to steal our funds. Hackers is more smartier now and know all about technology so even wè don't want to happen it will happen not only in crypto even in some platform hackers steal a information.

Investing in bitcoin can provide or you can earn big or small amount of money. This could be the problem for cryptocurrency. It needs more security and safety for your own virtual money.
Hackers are all around us, and are very rampant nowadays. Security and safety should be the topmost priority to prevent from becoming a victim of scammers or hackers. It's best to use a strong random password, and not share it to anyone. We should be careful with online transaction and it's important to backup wallet to help protect against computer and human failures.
of course the wallet can be hacked because the technology is getting more and more hackers who want to get the coins instantly (without having to work) and I have often heard if their wallets hacked
My personal opinion on this subject is.
"impossible" to hack the wallet with the security of the blockchain system. it is the safest security system that exists today.
unless you give your personal key to someone else's wallet.

Everything can be hacked if the right and experienced hacker intends to hack the platform, but exchanges get hacked more often than wallets, it is quite hard to hack a wallet, most times it is only possible to hack a wallet if the attacker gets hold of the wallets private key.

In my own opinion, cryptocurrency can be hacked because there are a lot of people who are moaning on their wallets that is being cleaned up in the market but i think that it will be depending on how good is the security of a market.
If hackers want to, they will can because almost all in the internet are hackable and it will be easy to those hackers who really have the knowledge when it comes to hacking. So it's recommended to use a hard wallet so that you are the only one who can access your own wallet, but if you don't have the cash to have one then it's okay to use internet based wallet but make sure you don't share the information about your wallet.
yes it has been a real problem now days.the best option is Hardware wallets are one of the safest ways to store cryptocurrency investments. They are what is known as “cold storage”. Which means it is offline and it is more secure than “hot storage” wallets (like software wallets or web wallets). Therefore, in my opinion, this is the best cryptocurrency wallet type to choose.
The hardware wallet differs from the paper wallet in that it provides built-in high security. The hardware wallet, which looks like a USB flash drive, has advanced security. This means the device cannot be accessed by people without the correct password. It helps greatly to improve security.

Yes. Cyrpto wallets are the easy targets of hackers and they are very easy to be hacked if one is careless enough to use his or private key on any website.
