i believe that any wallet can be hacked. they are all softwares and everything is possible. but you can reduce the possibility of being hacked. you can use a hardware wallet. you can be sure that your computer is not infected etc.
hardware wallet or cold wallet could be the solution from hackers attacking.they could not attack and destroy this security system.and maybe this is best solution for us now.

hacking on bitcoin wallets is impossible for me, but if this is a fraud in the form of phishing such as e-mail directing to certain links, websites and many more that often occur due to user negligence. Crypto wallet will be safer if it is hardware or Cool Swallow that is stored offline compared to claud wallet which still has a certain bug or vulnerability

BITCOIN IS THE CURRENCY OF THE GLOBE
Insecurity is a major challenge in the cryptocurrency space, several exchange website and Altcoin platform has been hacked in time past, there cannot be an exception to Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum, I observe some of this always perpetrated through there staff and in house workers, reason why developers now employ hackers in there team.

All crypto wallets can be hacked if you do not know how to use them, if you provide a private key to someone who is not known then your wallet is very easy to hack, and never visit a website that contains phishing, if you do that your device can be controlled by their hackers and they will find information about your wallet's private key, so be careful to use your personal crypto wallet which has a large asset in it.
The digital world is very insecure especially the crypto world in which there are certain projects very much prone to theft or hacking. This is the reason they advise to invest in Bitcoin for the blockchain is the technology that ensures the security of your investment up to a huge extent and it is almost impossible to these hackers to break into your wallets. This is the reasons coins like BTC and ETH have progressed so much. The more secure you feel in an asset, the more you invest in it.

To what i know, cryptocurrency wallet can be hacked, it is true. That’s a reason why you should be careful and protect yourself by choosing the right wallet. From my experience, you should choose hardware wallet or offline wallet, these wallet are the safest wallet for you to protect your cryptocurrency. In addition to this, you also should keep your private key and do not let anyone know about it.

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.

I agree. Being not conscious and attentive enough will lead you to being backed. And it is not good. Especially if you have a lot of coins in your wallet. This is not a good thing. Therefore you need to consider different things, such as do not give your important thing about your wallet.
if you have a lot of assets, it's better to divide into some wallets, so that it will be safer, if you neglect. although it has a heart, but sometimes we fall asleep, maybe because a lot of thoughts must be done

Is myetherwallet included? If its included, it can be hack. I have this experienced thing hacking incident, when inwas a newbie in this forum. I made my own wallet and all my airdrops is sent to that wallet. Everytime i check the value of my tokens, i always open my wallet (that i should just check in etherscan.io). Then one time, i opened it again and all my tokens are transfered to one address. Luckily, i dont have my bounty payment yet and changed my wallet address immediately. So better be cautious in opening your wallet especially online.

definitely yes, but it is because of the users end not because the of the wallet perse especially if your wallet is decentralize, hacker  entry is throough emailed phising site, or crack app downloads with malware, or visiting suspicious websites etc. so you you to be very carefull.

no matter how safe,how secured a digital wallet is. it can be hacked... by leaked wallet informations. digital wallets are secured but the problem here is you if your responsible enough to store all your wallet info in a safe place and prevent it from being leaked or else say goodbye to your wallet.

Its true. The security of our wallet is depending on our self. If we can not keep our private key safe and share it to anyone, our wallet can be dangerous. If we want to keep our wallet safe, always keep private key on safe place and not share it to anyone except our trusted people

I think only the online wallets could be hacked,
I don't really think that the offline wallets like paper wallet or some wallets like Nano ledger or trezor could be hacked.
I dont yet experienced to hacked my crypto wallet but i know to myself that it is really possible that's why i only used a very safe wallet and to avoid some hackers i am just keeping how much money i invested in cryptocurrency.

Wallets are virtually impossible to hack, if basic security rules are respected.
But surely your computer can be hacked. So, maximum attention.
And beware: you do not know you've been hacked until it's too late ...
Yes of course, crypto wallet can be hacked that's why you must create a difficult to guess or strong password. And have a hard copy of your password so you never forget but not in your phone or computer because they can access to it and also don't go any suspicious site. Write your private key in a piece of paper and put in a box which your the only one who knows where to find it.

well, they can be hacked only if you have some vulnerability in you pc or the apps you use and where you give access to the 3rd parties to have your info. Otherwise they can`t be hacked I think.

Anything is possible, but when it becomes too hard people give up.
I don't know what it will happen in the future, but at present the wallets are very safe (but only if you respect the basic rules of safety)

as long as you do not provide your wallet's private key, I think it is very difficult for hackers to steal your assets, and all this time the loss or theft of assets is due to the negligence of the owner who accessed a fake exchange
but they have other way or technique to attack our wallet.they become smarter after technology developtment support their skills.so no more doubt we have to appreciate their skills.
Well, no one give wallet private addresses, but there are many phishing sites who will impoersate the real site and many will fall victim of it.
