It can be hacked. There are a lot of phishing sites, fake airdrops, and malwares that can get your private key or passwords if you are not careful. That is why it is advised to store your cryprocurrency in a hardware wallet.

To my way of thinking is its possible if crytocurrency can not hacked. Nowdays, people can do what ever they want in technology. There are many ways to do that. So let's be careful of where we store our coins. as much as possible in your trusted cryptocurrency wallet you you will only put it. Just avoid clicking a malicious website in your web. Avoiding and be alert is one of the best way to keep safe your coins in your cryptocurrency wallet. Do not expose your private key anywhere keeping it in a safe place is better and always do a back up data foryour account if ever someone hacked it.

Considering what happened to the most widely used Ethereum web wallet MyEtherWallet and how it was done, there is always a chance that vulnerabilities in the internet could be exploited to hack and gain access users' coins.

Yet, the benefit of doubt could be handed over to all the wallets mentioned in your post as they're desktop/Mac clients and not web wallets. Then again, one of them i.e Electrum is known to have a history plagued with vulnerabilities.

Obviously they can be hacked but they are very very hard to do so. Obviously they are equipped with heavy algorithms and due to blocks connected in the chains it becomes almost impossible to get in. You must be knowing that every block contains the information and once it is in the blockchain then its irreversible one. This way network forms giant complexity of the wallets and retrieve them you need specific private keys which can open up the wallet for you. Even a smartest computer may take more than 35 years to cross this algorithm, thats what I have read and understood. So its impossible I guess.

for technology like nowadays almost nothing is not possible although the security of bitcoin wallet is constantly improved but there is always a way to hack it, because no security system is really safe as long as it is man-made. so its core can certainly be hacked we can only hope not our wallets are hacked and stolen his data.

In the recent time, the community is worried because the ETH wallet is hacked by hackers, many people have lost a lot of eth because of not careful, so nothing is 100% safe. Secure your account carefully. Do not listen to bad rumors, do not believe in anyone, they can be scams, they are all over the Crypto market.

I haven't used NEON but most of the software does have their strength and weakness but as long as these weakness are unveiled hacking will be hard. There are hackers that are lazy to work for their own money but are just lurking and seeking for their targets, wallet users has the full responsibility if they get hacked.

For neon i will said there is possible for you to loose your coin because alot of negative feedback was said about the wallet but you can still try newest version. Also for bitcoin core and electrum are good but use the updated version of electrum wallet because the old version is vulnerable. After, doing that all you need to do is to avoid user error which could link your wallet to hackers.

I don't know much about the Neon wallet but all cryptocurrency wallet can be hack if you yourself don't take the necessary precaution or exposing your wallet to danger by visiting trojan or spam site, reading infected emails, not blocking ads, no keeping your wallet private keys safe. In addition, using old version of eletrum wallet or other cryptocurrency wallet can also expose your Bitcoin to damage.

Hard answer is yes, but keeping your code and private key increases the wallets safety, when someone ask for them during transaction or to check immediately block them or ignore them because they are trying to take it from you so be careful.

These wallets are vulnerable if the wallet owner isn't aware of what he's doing.

If someone sends him a phishing link and he is into airdrops he can easily be fooled and later on he'll find out that his wallet is empty. Because of his not aware and informed that some airdrops that are doing this are scams and is likely to hack your wallet.

Yes of course it can be hacked special if your wallet was in online or in website that can transact that was possible to hacked but of course it have a solution for the hackers because right now we have a offline wallet that can be use or that can avoid to hacked your coins because i have a friend that he is using hardware wallet or offline wallet that have a device just like flashdrive so he can avoid to hack his coins.

It can be hacked, by I more than sure that always in this blame coin holders, because they using same passwords everywhere or using too easy passwords or using/downloading programs or scripts what strolling coins from them. So, I sure that wallets enough safe, big problem - the human factor and people's trust.

Honestly saying it can be hacked.But you can prevent that from hacking.For that you have to make any security setup.In localbitcoin,one good and trusted security setup is their.The name of the setup is two factor authentication.It access with your mobile and no one can hack from this setup.
