Topic: Cryptocurrency wallets: Can they be hacked?? - page 28. (Read 4112 times)
If it is an online wallet and it is not like the offline wallet like paper wallet and hardware wallet then i think that it can be hack by the hackers especially the professional hackers in the dark web but if you are worrying for the security of your coins then go to a hardware wallet website and get one of their product to assure the security of your coin.
It can be hacked if mistakenly given out to the wrong persons. Some people might call your attention to It and some will just use it as an opportunity to get into your account and ripp off your coins or tokens. It happened to a friend of mine, his account was hacked and the person that hacked into it continued to remove every coin paid into it. He had no choice but to open another account.
Most times, the fault is always from the users. The hackers cannot have complete access to one's account by trying to use some forceful means to get in without at least making it easy for them. Most times, the security features added to accounts as well as the possibility of trying as much as possible to stay safe should not be discarded as that is the easiest way to stay out of the trap of hackers.Also, it depends on the wallet being used, but the security gets stronger as you move from centralized wallet to cold storage.
If anyone think his or her wallet can not be hacked let him expose his private key,but be warned never to try that,even though i have not personally experienced it people around me have, technology which has its good and bad side has made it possible for wallets to be hacked.
Exposure of private key is more like willingly and stupidly giving out full access to your accounts, but I would not call that hacking anyway since the hacker never had to go through some vigorous process in getting that. However, for some who may have a PC that is insecure with some information such as private key stored on it, the possibility of the PC getting crawled into and seeing everything needed to see as well as the private key is there which is why it is always important to be very careful where certain information are stored. 
AFAIK , it can be hack but as long as you updated the wallet, I think you can worry less.
I'm usually use etherium as my offline wallet and I always update it so over 2 years that I've use it, I'm never experience any problem !

I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?
I think they all are trying to provide most secure system from all the other wallets in order to be first from many competitors. And you can make sure that your money is in secure place.

There has been some hacking of them due to the badly written code, for instance famous parity wallet, multisig wallets were hacked for ether and funds were locked in contracts. It is irreversible without hard fork. So it can be hacked but only if it was coded poorly...

So long as human made it or designed, there is a way to break it. Especially wallets where there is human interaction to access it, there is a way to get into it. I mean there are viruses, keyloggers, phishing sites stuff likenthat to get information to actually get in your accounts. It's all about being very careful with your access.
Yes indeed crypto currency wallets can be hacked. By then i can also say that almost everything in the web or in the internet can be hacked in this modern day. As i can remember, some of our government websites were been hacked. As we know if we say that it is a government website this must not be hacked because we see them has the most secured web site. With this kind of modern world which hackers are also has the modern skill almost nothing is impossible not to be hack especially if the system is depending on the website or its operation in thru internet like crypto currency wallets.
Yup! Cwry much so. But then again it could always be tracked to user error. Practically, a wallet is secured and never be hacked by itself. But if say a user isn't careful with their logins, or browsing evem connecting to a public wifi is a big no no in monetary transactions. The lesson? Always be careful.
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
Crypto currencies can only be hacked if you share your private keys of your wallets. It is always better to store crypto coins on trezor wallets and USB wallets. Paper wallets are much as the private key can be printed and can be stored safely in the users hands so there is no Chance of hacking crypto coins from paper wallets. If you are not sure of electrum wallets or neon wallets then you can transfer crypto to your paper wallets or USB wallets.
It can be hacked if you give your important thing like password or private key. You know scammers do all the things just to get our valuable things and they can manipulate our minds to provide all that they want.
while private key is stored securely, I don't think anyone can hack our wallet. I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?
Its a big YES. All kinds of crypto wallets can be hacked. One way to hack your wallet is to get your information through phishing sites so we muat carefully check the address of the website we are entering. If not, once we input our passwords or private keys, they can get it. Wallets are not the only thing that can be hacked. BCT account, exchangers like etherdelta, hitbtc etc can also be a target of hackers
Of course, if you give them your wallet password then that would obviously happen, everything online is very risky.
any purse in the world of crypto I think it can be hacked there are many ways that hackers do so we all have to be careful.do not let our personal wallet keys be easily accessible to others

Technology is man made, although they have very high security. But hacking is also human so your wallet can be hacked. You must store the information carefully to prevent theft from hackers. Be careful with fake websites and phishing emails.

Sad to say but yes they can be hacked. I know friends of mine got hacked and we don't know the main reason. But maybe it is because of some infos of transactions leaking out and a hacker can hack anything with just a little bit of information so secure your wallets and as much as possible split your account so that you can split your bitcoins as well. Really what online wallet or what platforms he used that time? I also believe that hacking is possible online and many experts hackers can do this. So we really need to be more careful with our wallet private keys.

Yes and no. I mean, yes It can be hacked but not in the sense that it can be accessed by brute force and breaching its security all in all. You can only get hacked in ways of phishing or by trusting someone whom you never should've trusted. In my understanding, this is the only way to hack your wallets: by hackers getting access to your private keys(regardless of the way they do it).
Yes I agree, hackers can only hack if they will be able to get our private keys, but if the system will be the subject - no, they cannot hack it. So we really need to be more careful with our private keys.
