I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?
Scammers know lots of ways how to get from you your private informations so if you just say some of those you could get hacked easily.
Scammers are wise, so we better be wiser and more strategic. We must keep security as upmost priority. It's our responsibility to back up our wallet, use strong password, to make it more difficult for hackers to access your wallet and steal your coins.

It is important to remember that all kinds of events are possible in the world of information. Although there are intensive security measures, it is possible to infiltrate or steal our information in some way even though we use antivirus-style programs. Therefore, it is necessary to take all kinds of precautions, but it is beneficial not to leave the precautions at hand.

Yes. The very reason is by always logging in of a wallet owner which is giving a chance to the hijacker to hack your account specially when you keep on doing this without bookmarking the URL of the real site. And of course when you lost your private key or by giving it to others. Keep safe my friend and better to have an off line wallet if you have a big fund.

All locks can be broken, as well as all wallets.

However, beyond a certain level of difficulty, it becomes practically impossible to do it.

Money is lost due to carelessness and inattention, hackers do not need to force wallets.

It depends if by means of bruteforce then it will take a long time to decode bitcoin seeds or private keys maybe you need 40 years by using this attack usually a hacker penetrates a system of a victim by using malwares if you dont have enough protection in your system then this method will be successful in less time youre keys might be in danger if you have huge amount of cryptocurrencies then it must be better to stored it separately in one cold storage to avoid this kind of attacks.

Yes, if you are not careful to get infected with hackers you will lose your account. Many people have been lost because of clicking on the hacker's code. So be careful before doing anything.

Yes its possible, i know a person whose wallet got hacked and she was really devastated, I don't know how it happen, my friend too he's wallet got hacked, he though all is well but when he see his wallet he lost everything through phishing site.. it happen if you really don't have any double security measure for your wallet.

In my own opinion, cryptocurrency cannot be easily hacked because the wallets like mew or myethereumwallet is multi encrypted and the only way for you to lose your coins is by  revealing your self through phishing sites so you should always be careful on the sites you are logging in your wallet.
There are many methods to do theft and one of them is phishing. actually there are many other types. therefore you have to be
carefuly dude. even though your wallet is safe though. but if you're not careful and underestimating it can be a bad thing for you

Well it could be possible because these wallets are just being made and it could be decrypted for those who are familiar with the technicalities of digital wallet. Even the  most reliable digital wallet could be hack but there are only few people could do it and there is no way for us to get into it as an average individual who only know how to operate computer then it could be hard to hack digital wallet.
It is hard to do so but not impossible. Believe me this would become so easy if you are allowing them to get your password so easily. Look there are some best practices that must be followed to make everything good and secure related to your account and bitcoin. But what if they are vulnerable and easy to attack? Then you must equip yourself with more secure and safe practices.
Yeah, since hacking is just the process anyway, so at the end, whichever way the hackers end up getting the password to your centralized account or your private key or seed, then at the end, it is still hacked. However, this is the reason why beefing up the security of one's account and trying to stay as secured as possible is highly necessary.

We obviously cannot expect to leave our accounts vulnerable and not end up getting screwed by hackers.

Yes,cryptocurrency wallets can be hacked.There are many easy ways to intrude to your computer through malware/keyloggers can steal your wallet .It is safe to store your coins in cold wallets/Physical wallets
What if you lock your home with unique key and you are thinking that this lock can never be opened with any other key expect real one. But later on, you come to know that this key has been compromised and now everything is just on stake. So never trust anything blindly. Although bitcoin is safe and secure, but try to keep your wallet private and implement best practices.

Bitcoin- in bullish time
Of course. they can easily be hacked if users do not know how to protect themselves from outside threat. Therefore, you need to learn how to protect yourself on the internet or you will be easily hacked and lose a lot of money. That is why the cryptocurrency require a lot of independence from the users because no one can saves you here, only yourself
If i were them then i will make a strong password for the wallet and i will not click on the things that i am not familiar with in the internet because that is one of the most common cause for the people to get hacked by the professional hackers and the hackers might stole your private information and also hack your wallets.

They are all not 100% safe, so they can be hacked. But if you need a wallet that is much more safer than others, then I will recommend you choose Coinbase wallet cause it’s very safe, but still not 100%. Another wallet that is good is the Blockchain wallet. You can activate 2fa, whenever anyone tries to log in or hack into your account, they will need your approval which is a pin that will be sent to your phone. Without that pin, they are never going to get in. 😊

Yes, they can be hacked. That’s why it’s good to be careful so you don’t end blaming anyone or saying that Bitcoin is scam or that it whatever you might call it. I make use of several wallets and they are well guarded with passwords and 2fa. Just like Blockchain wallet that I’m using.

Once you create a new wallet with Blockchain wallet you’re asked to create your password, all you have to do there is choose a difficult password that no one can easily crack. After which you might have created your new wallet, open the setting and check for the 2 factor authentication which can be activated by adding your phone number.

2fa (two factor authentication) is really helpful and prevents anyone from hacking your wallet. I once heard of a wallet that has up to 4 factor authentication lol, but I don’t know how that works and I also can’t remember the name of that wallet.

I am still believe that our bitcoin wallet can not be hacked as long we keeping safe our private key. As long we keep our bitcoin on our wallet not on exchanger wallet, i think its safe. Beside that, we should not trust on link we received on our email because sometimes is phising link

Cryptocurrency Wallets seem very secure and can only be hacked by carelessly giving out private keys or going to phishing sites I think, but exchange wallets can get hacked without that, if hackers attack the exchange like the very many exchanges being hacked these days, they can steal all your coins, you don't need to reveal any secret key for this to happen.
