Actually all can be in the state data retas very secret can only be retas let alone a wallet that has less security is very easy to be hacked but if you do not want your wallet hacked better do not store eth or the like in large quantities.

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

It can be possibly hacked if you gave your private key...  Well definitely if that's the case the hacker is not only responsible for this things but you as well...  As a crypto user we must keep the important information with ourselves...  We are  the only person which is responsible for it so we need to be careful to avoid this things to happen...

yes they can be hacked. especially if you use your computer for other purposes except storing cryptocurrencies. it is not so hard your computer to be affected by a trojan or virus, and sometimes it is not very easy to detect it by antivirus softwares.

Any wallet can be hacked specially when you are careless on your private keys and passwords. Always check the safeness and security of links you are clicking to avoid being phished. You can write down your private keys and passwords on a paper and never share them.
Asset security in this market is very necessary that every investor must know how to protect their money. Without good security, your coin can easily be stolen by professional hackers.

Anything which is on web or online, can be hacked. Web wallets can be hacked too but chances are low. If people keep their private key/seed and password/passphrase hidden and safe then there are very low chances of getting the wallets hacked.

Right. That tells you that crypto wallets are quite secure compared to others. It gets compromised only when people don't take care of their personal keys and become careless.

I think yes. Modern hacker now are unstopable. If the wallet didnt always update thier security. Im sure hacker can crack it. But if the wallet always update hacker can access it.

Cryptocurrency electronic wallet can be possibly hacked if hackers have the necessary information for them to initiate such method. Like what happened to South Korea, it's largest cryptocurrency exchange was hacked and the value lost worth $42 billion causing the price of bitcoin to decrease significantly. Although the subject might be an exchange than a wallet, I believe that it is relatively easier to hack a wallet than a whole exchange.
But if we are talking about the blockchain technology itself by altering and tampering the information, it is impossible for someone to steal and to copy another bitcoin's key as the blockchain is protected by a network of computers who regularly monitors the transactions.

Cryptocurrency wallets are hard to hacked, but they can be hacked ,it is because of your carelessness  because , if you can be in the phising sites and your important files are devulged and be known to hacker then your wallet can be easily hacked ,it is important to make safe of your wallet,by protecting keys and passwords of your account.

You can put these private keys and passwords somewhere that you can be the only one that can see it or know it, you may memorize them, write down it in a paper and keep it, there is a lot of things that can be done. But, as long as these things are valuable, scammers and hackers will find and find a way to get them the reason security are developing and developing great securities for them but I think even if you have the most impregnable security in the world, if you do not know how to be careful, you can still be robbed or scammed.

Bitcoin- in bullish time

Well of course this is very hackable, which is why the creation of a hardware wallet to increase security for bitcoin you have. Over the years, more hackers use their ability to steal from us, it's back to yourself. I mean, how well you make security for the funds that are in your wallet.
Hardware wallet is the best wallet that every people can use to store their cryptocurrency because if they have a hardware wallet then it will be easier for them to keep things safe and they don't need to worry for the hackers because it is not that easy for the hackers to hack your hardware wallet because in the first place, it is a physical wallet so hackers are just in online.

Like any piece of software it is entirely possible the wallets have some bugs the hackers can take advantage of, but the most common scenarios are that people download a wallet with malware embedded in it and then people deposit coins in those addresses and they lose their coins, another common scenario is that people are hacked in other ways and then the hacker gets access to the private key and he steals the coins a little afterwards.
There is no system that is safe in the internet. You have a point because even the biggest companies like google, facebook and so on. They still have some bugs in their site and that is why they keep on updating their website and the codes behind their website because if the hackers can see that vulnerability then they will have a chance to get take advantage of that.
This is why we cannot completely trust on external sources to protect our devices, people rely too much on antivirus programs not realizing those programs are not prefect and in fact you can avoid most viruses by just taking some precautions like not clicking every single link that you see or opening emails from people you do not really know.

I think the 3 wallets you mentioned above can still be hacked if you do not have double security in the wallet. Because I just know the wallet you call from this thread, but if you choose a wallet that is very famous as is often in use by people maybe it will minimize you will be hacked.

I think every computer system has got weakness and can be hacked, every day there is always technology  development, hacking is not always about software, hardware also has a weakness at some point. if system administrators are not upgrading or backing up their system a crime-breaking action can be done at any time.
Except for hard wallet types to keep coins difficult to attack unless you are stolen and reveal the private key of your purse, all online wallets can be hacked and stolen. So if you want to trade regularly, put coins on your wallet or wallet, and if you do not want to trade, move on your wallet to keep your coins safe.

In my opinion about the security of any system there must always be a gap to hacked. Such as exchange, crypto, and wallet has many events about the theft of important data. But we remain vigilant, now by using some sophisticated system that will make more code verification system that will go into your personal data.
