Today most people say cryptocurrency wallets and blockchain network are impossible to hack and it is definitely true because they are build to be secure in many ways but hackers still get tokens by hacking wallets because individuals who owns wallets are very careless so when some thing happens they accuse the technology or the currency claiming they have issues but most criminal activities can be stopped by taking precautions
Really great article and helpful for every bitcoin users specially for those who make investment and stose their crypto in the wallets.
The most rampant case of hacking is through phising emails. A lot of unaware users can easily fall for this type of scheme. So don't give out your personal emails to anyone especially here and bookmarks all the sites that you frequently visit because only the famous websites are prone to this.
Hackers can make an attack thru online connection or internet because anywhere in the world we are all connected by means of internet and it seems like all computers is within our reach if they can break the wall of our computer, so I think to minimize the hackers intrusions we must aware always not to put our wallet password in a public site that they free to attack and go offline whenever our computer not in used.We can not asking hacker to not hacking our wallet, its happen because we dont save our private key properly. The best we can do to protect our wallet is not share our private key to anyone and keep it from online

Great information to flow in order to make secure our wallets and money from cruel hackers and other criminals before something happens because most of the time we take actions after we loose considerable amount of money in vain bit in the crypto world these losses can be very high sometimes so it is always better to take early precautions before getting caught
I would also like to add that you should use an hardware wallet to store your cryptocurrencies in. It is much safer than copy pasting your private key everytime you login to your wallet. Another beneficial thing is that with most hardware wallets there is a small screen on them so that you can double check the amount and the adress that you are about to send. If all is well then you sign the transaction physically by pressing the buttons on the wallet.
Yes that what you said we need to protect using hardware wallet like trezor of ledger to avoid hacking or else that can stole your funds. I highly recommend using this to avoid losing funds.
hardware wallets are the best thing to do but because it cost a little amount some or most of the bitcoin or crypto enthusiast can't afford to buy it or don't like to buy it that's why they just use free online crypto wallets
