I hope it is not possible to hack wallets.
But if it is what is the alternative?

I think someone could hack into my account if you use the same password for every account. such as email, facebook, and others. of course hackers will easily fit into your wallet

Just come it to my mind. is it possible? to get hook into your wallet and send some to another wallet? Undecided

no you can't, I do not know of the system used bitcoin wallet. but in my opinion if you do not have data on the wallet eg passowrd or private key it would be impossible to do such a thing. I think hackers do not break the wallet, but hack the data base of the wallet. Thank you

Just send to malware to their victims and infected the programs and malware can sending what the victims do with infected computers. and finally losing your account or amount on this account.

Yes because we all know that there is no absolute security in the internet or cyberworld. But before a hacker could do that it would require many knowledge about bitcoin and how the transaction works.

It is also possible to hack it easily if the owner of that wallet is carelesss and don't secure his/her wallet carefully.

i think not easy but possible. no every one can hack my wallet. but the experts and the computer hacker can do this. i think such kind of technology are present and they are developing such kind of software that they can easy get access to anyone wallet. even they can reach to the banks treasures and we can see so many examples from our daily life. some time thy hack the whole websites of a particular department of a country.

You can hack other wallet , if the wallet not secured with hard complicated password (like symbol , numeric , and capslock)
Or some people use bruteforce method for do this , it takes more time but you can know the password at the same time..
And you can make malware password stolen to do this (Just kidding) Grin

yes! the hacker can get your Bitcoin from your wallet,
perhaps they can copy your key, so be very careful to getting away with it.
for them not to get rich at once. Undecided

right, like a The DAO cases get attacked by a hacker and $60 million is stolen. a hacker can steal your bitcoin from some ways they can try. an old method using malware to stole your data,account,and password and for expert hacker exactly the DAO cases using code to infiltrate in your wallet.

You wallet can be hacked but it also depends on what kind if wallet you are using, if you use a blockchain wallet is easy for the hackers.
I would recommend you a paper wallet because they are secure and not hackable, another option is a hardware wallet that is also working very good to be honest.

I don't think that is possible as I haven't experienced so far and I think bitcoins are very safe in any bitcoin wallet that we use as all wallets have some safe and unique features.

Yes desktop wallets are safe and cannot be hacked unless your desktop is hacked or stolen.
Web wallets have this fear that they can be hacked

Online wallet quite vulnerable for being hack as some people may send you malware from clicking some link.
So just beware to not click any suspicious link that being sent from new guy that you just know it first time.

I have use multibit to import private key from online wallet if something happen to it

Desktop wallet can be hacked too, did you know that
There has been many case of people clicking on some random links from the internet, and Bam
The hacker just infected your PC and probably a keylogger is installed there

So Desktop wallet has the same risks as you would have on your online accounts

I believe the truly safest wallet is Hardware wallet, they can't be installed with virus as keyloggers Wink

But hey, just my opinions

Yeah thats true if your computer is not protect by any updated anti virus so beware in any website that you need to download or sometimes i experience force install from one website that has full of malware virus .. so if you are just holding more bitcoin in your desktop wallet make sure you have installed latest updated anti virus.. i can suggest to you to use kaspersky very active anti virus and very useful anti virus.. it can help also for most computer if your os is infected and it cant recover in any ordinary anti virus.. kaspersky is the only the best for me to recover and protect my computer of any virus online.. but kaspersky license is expensive but you can find free trial license from online...

Also you are protected in keylogger software auto deleted by kaspersky...

Yes it is possible if you have a virus already in the pc you are using which have a key logger in it and with that they can get all info on what wallet you are using and what is your password,its safe if you have a 2FA which will need a mobile phone authentication before you can withdraw your money.

Indeed, I'm thinking the same thing a lot of people also think they are good defended against hackers but this is just not true because if you click on something it can go wrong in my eyes with all these virus links nowadays.
Its mostly just a matter of time before this happens and I think its also good to have a paper wallet for your big amounts to be sure you cannot not get hacked.

How about the owner of the wallets.(wallet company) is it possible to check your balance your account details etc..
coz you sign up and create your passcode etc.. and put some bitcoins to your wallets.

It depends per wallet. Blockchain.info runs in your browser, it is not possible for the 'company' to check your balance.

There are so many ways of securing your BTC.
Getting a wallet like Electrum makes it so no one can send money out without a password.
Storing your wallet in cold storage makes it so it's not accessible from the internet (only by your computer).
People store wallets on USB keys that remain in a safe, but then you have the inconvenience of accessing your coins when in need.

It's really all about a security vs. convenience tradeoff, but overall some very solid ways of keeping your coins safe!

first of all I want to add that this is a very good way of securing your coins while still having access to them but you have to add one step and that is storing the seed in a separate place because USB disks like any other thing are subject to problems like breaking down or just an error like bad sector.

also for convenience you should have two wallets one is hotwallet for small transactions like the money you keep in your pocket.
and one is cold storage which has the big amount like your bank that you visit from time to time not everyday.

In our local wallets yes it is possible i dont know if it is inside job or what but many clients most especially big time investors had this problem. but in other wallet it is impossible to hacked because of their security features.

Yes it is. If you download something infected by a malicious software, usually malicious altcoin wallets, it can make several things, from purely sending without your consent your bitcoins if you don't have any password on your PC, to copying his address instead of the one you want to send your coins to if your wallet is protected.

Did you mean to ask if it is possible to hack your wallet by knowing your wallet address? If that's so, then the answer is no.
