I am very interested to know if cryptocurrency wallets like Bitcoin Core, NEON, Electrum can ever be hacked ?

There is no impossible for the hackers, unless if stupidity will apply for the individuals by giving their password, or private key or any information about their personal data account. Second, don't just click some fishing site or else you might get be hack if you click wrong site where it can be the open gate for the hacker anyway.

They can be hacked into those purses that are not protected by a hardware key. You need not be lazy and order yourself this.

if doing it with bypass or something like that i think its hard to do , but if doing it with malware or something its possible to get "their" private key

Yes, I already hear a lot of this case before, hackers are really smarter now and they can create malwares that can be able to get our private keys or send coins from our wallets.

I think cyber crimes still have ways to get money including cybercrime in crypto, so I think the entire crypto wallet still potential to be hacked, it's just that the potential can be minimized or not

Yes, because of the high technology now everything is possible in the world wide web. So let's always take care of our wallets and never open it in untrusted websites.

I see that the Cryptocurrency wallet is very safe, however, we must be careful and should not be careless in using it. moreover, we often open our wallets from computers or smartphones that are not ours, because all of our data can be recorded there, everything can happen due to crime not only because of the intention of the criminal, but because there is a chance too! and the most important thing is, we must maintain the email or password that we use to register the wallet, not to be known by others. because it is the main door of a hacker, can steal assets in our wallet.

Yes it can be hacked because hackers always find new ways to hack. We are required to 2FA to avoid wallet being hacked. I will prefer to use hardware wallets like trezor to have a better experiences on using wallets. Don't use web wallets.

Good suggestion those hardware wallet are offline wallet that you could get use to store you crypto and the best thing is that no one could even sneak upon through the internet and phished out your digital wallet. However, there are some online digital wallets also that are really secured like MEW for the ERC20 coins. I do believe on this wallet and it seems very secured.

The most important thing about cryptocurrency wallet is to protect your private key!
Desktop/mobile wallet is relatively safe, but pay attention to the invasion of viruses!
The online encrypted wallet is vulnerable to hacking, and the private key will be stored on the server. The security of the server is not guaranteed!

You can only be responsible for any hacker activities on your wallets, I.e if you give out information of your wallets like the private keys to any strangers, even those managing bounties will tell you their admin will never ask you for your private key, but if you are careful with your wallets security it can't be hacked

I think it can. considering the fact that I saw a thread that talks about a campaign that got hacked and lost a lot of Btc from its investors because their system got hacked. now, the manager is liable to return all those lost with his or her own money or crypto.

Most probably, hackers are very intelligent which can always have a way to hack cryptocurrency wallets. Even the Pentagon security system was breach then how much more the cryptocurrency which has only limited security.

nothing is impossible, including the possibility of hacking crypto currency wallets, every time hackers are always trying to find a gap to be able to take over your crypto currency wallet, here I've also experienced it suddenly there is a transaction out of my wallet without to my knowledge

This. Most probably if your wallet was hacked it is because of you not being careful with it.
However, if we consider exchanges as wallets, then sometimes they got hacked.

Yes. I believe everything in online can be hacked especially our cryptocurrency wallets. Online wallets are being target by hackers because of the amount inside that wallet. With that, we have to be very careful and not to play safe or be calm that our money is safe. We really have no control on the database where it is saved. Do not put all of your eggs in one basket
