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

Any computer on a network with Internet access is hackable and so if you're careless enough to leave your private keys on a public computer or an unprotected computer then you're at risk and you can be hacked in no time and of course funds can be transferred between wallets.

The computer will be hackable if you accidentally downloaded other hacking software or if your computer infected by a virus that gets data in your computer so if your computer is infected and you login your details or save your wallet in your computer it is posible to get hacked by hackers.

I think i never heard any news regarding an account being hacked, so the security of bitcoin wallet is still solid, the one that being hacked usually it's from phising site and suspicious link
And hopefully it will never being able to be hacked so we don't have to worry about our account

Must you be living inside the cave for centuries didn't you? as for example, the recent hack has happened to bitfinex and loses about millions of dollar, and it's just one of many which is fortunately leaked in the media.
Just imagine if some bitcoin users don't really care about the security of their wallet and ended up targeted by hackers and finally getting hacked, there might be so many people out there who have been hacked but didn't publish it into media.

In my wallet?I could say they would really have a hard time to hack my wallet its on either on web wallet or hardware wallet because I do set it up 2fa passwords and kept all the important informations like private keys on a secure place in no one even know but only me. They cant hack my bitcoin for sure.

In the online wallets even its preview says its secure. It is possible also to hack your bitcoin wallets and the only developers of the wallet you stored bitcoin can open your account so now you know who could hack you. The cold wallets also has to be hack, although the developers could not do that but I don't know who.

I didnt hear some new too related to online wallets that is being bruteforced to hack and stole of the bitcoin inside it but the incidents of being robbed because of virus and phishing link then i would really believe because if someone would able to know the important informations regarding on your wallet then the risk of being robbed is high.

if we have the password then it is very possible. the important thing is keeping us how the password is not known to others. create a strong password, then we will be safe wallet account.

I don't know if you have seen but last months i have seen that many people were infected by a virus or malware which when people wanted to make a transaction the pasted address was always the hackers address so people were sending accidentally money to the hacker.

I always check the few first and last digits or letters of an address before I send any bitcoin to it because it's almost impossible for the automated address generating system to generate addresses in matter of seconds that looks like your own address.
And for the OP I must say that of course it's possible to hack your own wallet but who do you think will compensate the stolen funds?

The stolen funds can easily be laundered if one uses it, just by simply using it in gambling sites like sports betting then hedge on the other sites then everything is clean now.

IN this open world everything can be hacked so hackers hack the only wallet and transfer the bitcoins to their wallets this only happens, there are several accounts that have been hacked and no one knows.
so hacking is the big issue in the bank , and many people got their bank accounts or wallets get empty.

Almost all web wallets have a 2FA which can provide a lot of safety when it comes to potential hacks ,for me the best wallet is Xapo , it has a very strong security , it has a password and a PIN code and a SMS verification in case your wallets gets logged on from another IP, so the chances of your getting hacked is very small.

xapo wallet is very similar with the local wallet provider that we have here in my country, they are same when it comes to the security . you are able to make a 4 digit pass code if you're using their mobile wallet service and also they have SMS verification every time you logged in your account to a different device and IP . but the problem is that they also have an option to authenticate the log in attempt which is the email-authentication and you are possible to be hacked if a hacker knows even your email address .

It is not an issue we should worry if indeed we have account confidential and not to use access in vain, for if we cannot protect the computer then all things are very secret can be taken over by hackers. The secret account I mean is an account which indeed you never spread to was introduced by friends or anyone. So, indeed it is also one of the ways to avoid hackers and other than that we should be able to keep your PC/Laptop/hp with no clicks or visiting sites that have not believed

even if we kept our online credentials confidentially there are still ways for other people to get it and of course it is indeed you should never share it to some of your friends or to any other people . aside from avoiding those untrusted sites you should also keep your computer in private I mean you must have a separate account for administrator and for guests which is for public in order to avoid them from accessing your accounts .

Many bitcoin wallets including some wallet providers suffered from hackers that took away millions of bitcoins from them. Some of them are Blockchain.info and Bitfinex. Some of the hackers uses phising sites and phone numbers to hack wallets according to a report.

Yeah absolutely right , xapo is have good security but i think not only xapo that have few layer of security , i used blockchain app on my smartphone and there is a password and pin code while open the wallet. And it is also have safe security i think.

in fact all the online wallet have good security and all are using double or triple layer of security but still there are peole who can easily cross thes level and can reach to your wallet easily, therefore it is more important to have your own wallet security

Basically all wallet equipped security features, but surely there is available way to pass through. Never mind the web wallet, if we have wallet from offline also could still be hack. My advice is, often to replace setting password, email address, mobile phone number and also don't often open wallet in indiscriminate internet access such as wifi.

Third party wallet can be easily hacked and it is not secure at all since you let someone else hold your Bitcoin. If your computer is infected by ransomware or virus, they can easily access your account.

Computer viruses are known factor of being hacking. But don't forget about public internet. That is not less dangerous than viruses. I never use my wallets or operations with them when I'm sitting in some cafe. I even don't comment there, to hackers don't steal my wallets number.
