Topic: is it possible to hack your bitcoin from your wallet? (Read 14297 times)
I had read so many posts before about the people who were a victim from bitcoin hacking. Maybe they had clicked some phishing site that's why their wallet got hacked. They are not careful on which link to click. There are many scammers nowadays so be careful on clicking email addresses and URL's.
I have read some comments that bitcoin wallet can not be hack because of the strong security feature and probably system administrators are maintaining it for hackers to crack the codes but a lot are trying to say that the system are not 100% and has a hole that hackers are tying to take their opportunity towards it, and online wallets have many flaws that skilled hackers can navigate and be fish in no time, and in my opinion that definitely online wallets are not 100% safe and has flaws to it's system cause I have expirience this kind of attack that hackers did their best in invading the system that I can't believe they can truly hack through it.
Possible yes, because not safe 100% in the internet
but it depend on you too how to safe your wallet from the hacker
dont forget to use F2A and Sms verification for security in your wallet.

I don't think so since you are the only one who knows your password and security it is surely secured, that is why do not disclose any information of your bitcoin wallet to anyone to make your money safe and secured.
Even if you are the only one who knows your password and security pin and even if you dont disclose your information the hackers may still get into your wallet. Hackers uses viruses that enters your computers then it collects information from any login information that you have done. After which they will use that information to get your bitcoins out of your wallet. Aside from that even how solid your firewall is if you have stored a huge volumes of bitcoin into it hackers will try to get your bitcoin in a more complicated way. If you heard about bitfinex and other big sites that holds volumes bitcoin declares being hacked then how much more an ordinary wallet is.
People are always concerned about security of the code, of wallets, blockchain and I don't know what else, but the weakest point is ALWAYS human.
There is much higher probability, that your wallet will be robbed, just because you have left your seed saved in txt on your desktop, or because your password is "1234" or because you installed a cracked software on your computer.

I'm not a hacker, but I guess it could have been done. if the skill that they have been very great, it's not a difficult thing. but, the thing is, if they want to take your bitcoin or not? because I think they are always eyeing bigger things, such as trading sites, or the like, which can make them a profit enormously.
I don't think that they can hack huge amount if bitcoin if they want because if it were so, bitcoin's holder will pull out their money from it. Also, even you're skilled enough in hacking, if your target is also smart and his account his secured, your time will just be wasted. Bitcoin was designed for the security of transaction. It has a capability to keep the transaction anonimously, hence the accounts's identity is impossible to determine.
its not easy now , and thanks to cryptography. its so hard to guess passwords. yesterday i was reading one Chinese professor now able to crack SHA-1 but after years of research

I wouldn't conclusively say it isn't possible because there was some kind of hack/bug issues in 2010 when a single person generated about 184 million bitcoins but the actual block reward then was 50 bitcoins; the issue was solved after 5 hours though but even with that in mind I don't think your wallet is immune to cyber attacks.
When i read this , i was like has some , who was drunk , written that topic.
Like how can a person hack his own account .
If a person does any transfer of money with his account , that term is called TRANSACTION .
But when i saw that you were a Newbie , i understood that answering this was a waste of time .
But if the question you wanted to ask was this ' Is it possible that someone who got into my account logged in already
can transfer money to his account? ' . If this was the question , then the answers depends on the wallet.
Some wallets ask for re confirmation , like the pin no. or something . So he cant transfer unless he knows that pin.
But if the transaction can be made without any verification , then he can transfer all your money to his account.

How about installing a back door and collect their key strokes and then hack the bitcoins from their wallet.It is possible to do so if you system is not secure. So always use a secure system if you are dealing with bitcoin.For this very reason if your serious about your bitcoin security you should have a separate system for bitcoin alone.
Kept offline unless syncing wallet or sending fund. Not used for "general" browsing or downloading.
There is also a script written in python that can bruteforce attempt seed combinations.
I have tested it with electrum and managed to crack a wallet seed in around 14 days.
So it is possible. Nothing is unhackable.

If one can manage to hack the wallet of exchange or wallet service provider then the hacker won't need your password because you have already granted permissions to manage your bitcoins and private keys on your behalf to that service provider. Password for online wallets is just for your access to the account, exchanges or wallet service providers already have your private keys.

Then why there are cases that bitcoin has been hacked or stolen even there is a strong password that is set to a certain wallet?
To be able to make bitcoin being a secured thing then make a way to have it unaccessible in the world of WWW (World Wide Web). Basically a wallet that is not a web one. Different hackers have different way in hacking a certain thing especially when they are serious in doing something illegal to a certain target. That password thing is not an assurance that people are safe to hackers if they have it.
