All these wallets are good ones and unless you are careless they are not hackable. Almost all of the hacks that happened in the past several years are simply because of some flaws from individuals and not because anyone could break these wallets.

Technologies on earth still developing and we all there are many good IT in the world, so there are big possibilities that wallet can be hacked.
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.

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.
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. I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?
As far as I know, not yet. Because of the blockchain mechanism, it takes a lot of power to launch an attack, but it is often difficult to achieve. However, it has indeed occurred that personal wallets were hacked and lost private keys.
Hackers are everywhere, and since wallets are digital then it can be easily hacked for hacjers are wise an intelligent, they will do everything to hack wallets because thwy know that coins are valuable. And how much more if you give or accidentally sent to someone your private keys. There is no way to retrieve those hacked wallets.

Any wallet can be hacked. First be aware of the url you supposed to use. Always be cautious that the site opens in a secured mode which is ':https//'. If you get into settings given for keeping the system secured. I have an experience in loosing around just $50. The issue was spelling mistake in the URL i typed. i just had my the wallet opened for just 10 minutes. I then noticed around $50 of bitcoin was hacked. Could not do anything. From then on i am aware of url entry and secured options checked twice.
Yes certainly. We often heard about news that even military facilities and other secured networks are hacked. So I would say it is very much possible. Don't just open your wallets anywhere ans secure your private keys.
nothing is safe 100% and we know that. cryptocurrency wallet can be hacked although I don't' know how to hack the wallet, I think people which have a high-skill programming can do that. but as long as we can keep our wallet safe, then we don't have to be afraid to be hacked especially if we never tell other people about what coin that we have. it is better to keep silence and never give any info about our wallet because it will be safer for that wallet.
I completely agree with you. There're so many flaws in random QT and web based wallets that it's impossible to say that they are 100% secure. Most of the crypto hackers/exploters nowadays are highly-skilled programmers who know how to build the wallet from scratch and of course can find exploits with ease. It's not like opening the wallet, messing up with the settings and finding an exploit. Everything is in the code and if you know how this code works you'll know all the flaws for sure. It's good stuff that there are lots of white-hat hackers nowadays, willing to show the exploits in public and how to avoid them, but let's not forget that the dark side never sleeps as well 
Be careful people!
Yes of course, there is a big possibilities that cryptocurrency wallet can be hacked. There is no safety in the world of internet. Anything can be hacked. Hackers are trained how to do that, even the small details about you to access what they want to access. So be very careful in giving your personal data or information. It is better to be safe than sorry. You can buy external wallet ledger to put all your coins there. If the system is down, you can still access your wallet and it is very safe to use.
The main reason of crypto fear people hacking in online wallet and exchanges are they are highly vulnerable for hacking it is safe to hodl these coins in hardware wallet there onwards

It depends, if you have set all required secured options activated then yes your wallets are in safe place. If not there are chances hackers get into your wallets. So lets not blame the wallet providers, lets keep secured options activated as given in their instructions. Activate google 2FA authentications, set PIN and etc. This would be enough to protect your wallet.
When it in terms of online and we are taking about money it will possible and it possible that they can hack you wallet we know right know many of who want to have a many money even illegal they do like hacking so i proposed and i suggest to use a wallet that was offline because they didn't connect or didn't hack if it is offline not like in online wallet.
