I thinks there's no way out for the hacker. haha
yes it is possible, but you have to be very stupid to let that happen, first of all, set as many passwords and other security a you can, don't share your codes to anyone because if you will, there might be a chance that somebody will try to get in your wallet, and if someone will then you will probably lose them
Your suggestion is not helpful. If one's desktop gets infected, no password in the world can help you. This is due to the fact that the 'evil' entity is able to install a keylogger and record your password(s). Users that use a desktop wallet need to educate themselves about general security and safe browsing habits.Just come it to my mind. is it possible? to get hook into your wallet and send some to another wallet?

Ways on how to get the password of a user or of an account :
Dictionary Attacks
Bruteforce
Keylogger
Cookies of your websites and etc
So becareful of what your doing, Click at your own risk !

don't make me laugh dictionary attacks and brute force ,are you serious. it will take ages to get into, even with a super computer if you have a good password and everyone does use a strong pass for sure, the other two .keylogger ,malware and cookie hijacks are a reality and it is the easiest way to get into anyone's privacy
Youd be surprised how many set no password at all. I dont think everyone uses a strong password and some wallets are badly defended against brute force attacks as well.
Technically not possible to hack a wallet unless you are careless with ur private keys and passwords
I would like to suggest not downloading any shady pirated software because I have seen news where people got their coins stolen after downloading cracked games etc. The thieves can add scripts so that after running the exe.file you system will be scanned for any wallet.data files and your stash will be silently wiped away while you are messing around with the fake pirated software. This is rampant with newly released highly anticipated games and such. Just be careful guys.
Desktop wallets can be hacked too, if you are dumb enough to keep your PC unprotected click everything which is in front of you.
Electrum is great , if you use it in safe environment like Linux , keep its seed encrypted in safe USB or external HDD , don't click suspicious links (although risk of malware in Linux is smaller, it still exists).
If you are using a online wallet, first make sure to make your Gmail account 2FA with sms to your mobile phone, then proceed to create an online wallet, add 2FA there, and keep 2FA unique one time key which can disable it, safer in some encrypted document in USB or external HDD also.
This is the best protection you can have on online wallets and safety. If you are smart and brave enough no hacker can outbreak you.

Every damn thing on the internet can be hacked. People just need time to figure how to
yeah every thing on the internet has the possibility to be hacked. but not many people can do thattherefore to avoid it. 2FA may be very helpful to secure your account

Propably hacking bitcoin would take biblic time...something to ponder about...

Yes there some fellows are there they can hack our wallet. I had experience with this some one hacked my wallet and played gambling he loose all my money but not did anything other stuff to my account just used my balance that's it so be carefull about your wallet.
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
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
But hey, just my opinions
I think it can be hack to by using phising site were if you log in your user id and pass It will automatically save to phising site makers sites. some other phising sites is upgraded they make it look like online wallets to if you dont look carefully and you log in bang you are been hack. But to avoid it dont click thosr shorten links. Or so could lame promos bait dont cliCk For your safety.

People only need to click on a certain link to get their computer infected. And in some cases they don't even notice that a virus has been installed on their computer.
That's a common way how people see their coins get stolen from their unprotected wallets. That's the hard reality nowadays.

yeah if you use online wallet he only need your password and if you use offline wallet all he need is to hack your pc it is harder than password but there is very skilled hacker that will do the impossible to reach there goals.
The chances that your desktop gets hacked in comparison to a web wallet are much lower. You would have to either: 1) Attract attention somehow; 2) Do something dumb, e.g. click on suspicious link.Of course it is possible, and that is why all bitcoin wallets are permanently trying to improve their security measures, trying to minimize this risk.
It is not possible to 'hack Bitcoin from your wallet'. This would imply that the Bitcoin software itself is flawed, which it isn't. Hacking the desktop that has Bitcoin on it, is something else (this is possible).I think using one bitcoin address or same bitcoin address for every bitcoin transactions will not make your bitcoin stolen.
Exactly. There is no correlation with the number of times that you've used an address and the likelihood of getting hacked.

Most of the time, the only way you can get your Bitcoin hacked is if:
A. You occupy the same address too many times.
B. You have tied personal info with it.
C. You don't occupy some type of antivirus/malware/malicious adware software.
I think using one bitcoin address or same bitcoin address for every bitcoin transactions will not make your bitcoin stolen. unless you do things like download at the links are not in the know. it may contain malware or you fill in the data and password in phishing site. where the password was the same as the password of walletA. You occupy the same address too many times.
B. You have tied personal info with it.
C. You don't occupy some type of antivirus/malware/malicious adware software.
it is often the case and make a lot of people lose their bitcoin because stolen

I agree on "Don't turn off the email notifications of your wallets".
Yeah agree with you. with email notifications you can know if there is something like a withdraw request that you do not do. so you can directly do cancel and change the password.if you can you can add a notification to the cell.
Of course it is possible, and that is why all bitcoin wallets are permanently trying to improve their security measures, trying to minimize this risk. Of course we also need to take all the precautionary measures to avoid this contingency.
