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.

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.

Except for keyloggers and other spywares, Bitcoin hacking is impossible for now (or nobody found a way to do it yet). If you do not have the wallet ID and password(s), unfortunately that amount is lost forever. Do you remember the e-mail you used for creating that wallet? Or just any other detail? If it was a cold wallet, it's impossible. If it was a web-browser based one, there are ways you can get your money back by contacting the specific company and proving that it's you.

Sorry for off-topic, but what is a good keylogger? Is this one https://www.refog.com/ good enough to be installed on Windows? Thanks.

Yes, why not? The possibility is endless and your account can be hacked by some hacker who will send money to his own wallet. However, there are some precaution you can take to minimize the chance of getting hacked. Like 2FA authentication or email authentication. Where you will recieve sms or email with a security link, through which you can only access the account.

But it is always wiser to use a hardware wallet for majority of your bitcoin. Also maintain a coinbase or blockchain wallet to receive funds from outside. Do not disclose your main wallet's id anywhere. These ways will make you safe from hackers.

Nothing impossible, I sure that any chance to hack our bitcoin. Now everyone saya that bitcoin is perfect from hacked, it also happen with emails, Bank acount and more, now that is often happen.

for now it is very difficult to hack somebody wallet, the protection level of bitcoin is very high, most of the time the people got hacked because they were careless, maybe they install hidden malware, or input identity in a phishing sites or recklessly input password in public place, from the system it is almost impossible to hack for now

if you are not very careful and not watching your activities you could possibly become a victim of malware, phishing sites but still you can prevent these you just need to avoid downloading/installing a software from untrusted source and do not easily input your online credentials to various sites sometimes many phishing can be noticeable through the address bar . and yes you are right, we should avoid putting our credentials in to the public computers .

It is possible for one to loose his/her bitcoin to a hacker if one does not take the necessary precaution to safeguard one's loggin information.

Yeah it's mostly because the wallet owners don't pay attention to the security system like they only have one-step security or they forget to log out their wallets. Sometimes it's just because they are unluckily chosen by the hackers to be the next target of stealing bitcoin, or maybe other unsual cases like there was one time when a bitcoin user of this topic accidentally generated a wallet which already has a huge amount of bitcoin.

It is possible to get your bitcoin wallet hacked if you don't take good care of your private key. You can't have the option of being carless with your passwors/private key. Make sure keep it some where safe and try to enable 2FA if you're using wallets such as blockchain.info

It will happen at users fault, it's our responsibility to take care of our private information to access our account, without it our bitcoins are gone and since it is not bank where there is insurance we cannot recover it.

Bitcoin wallets is prone of hacking ofcourse its an online stuff what can you expect.But you can prevent it by putting 2Factor log in in your wallets and stay away from clickbaits around the internet

You can do that but you can also simply just use a offline wallet what is also working great in my experience.

all wallets still vulnrable to hack, online or offline, as with offline can be your friend borrow your laptop and open your wallet then take your bitcoin, the safest course is to add 2FA. it will provide better security wallet

i think its impossible to hack bitcoin from any wallet because there is bitcoin wallet which is going to more secure and people keep their bitcoin in their wallet with out any worry so we feel safe and secure in any secure wallet and i think that bitcoin wallet is much more safe than bank wallet.

Hacking bitcoin network is near to impossible and this is applicable universally. On the other hand the possibility of hacking user’s wallet through user’s device differs from person to person because not most of the users are security conscious when it comes to their wallet. It’s always better to take precaution rather than cure. It’s never too late to pay attention for security measures while holding bitcoins.

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

Is this a question?? Or you want tricks and hacking techniques?? Well watever.. i will advise to use wallet with 2fa security enabled and apply it on every activity even open also. Its a safe way to stop hack into your wallet.

although the security of online wallets are satisfactory but still there are always chance of hacking your online wallet and one can get the bitcoin from your wallet, therefore try use different wallets for your bitcoin, if you have a good amount of bitcoins.

If you want to be sure, install the wallet first in your PC right after you have formatted it. Then add a strong and complex password like 32-65 characters which contains no dictionary words but only something that has meaning for you only, special characters help a lot too.

By doing like this you suddenly are way too far ahead of the game for any hacker. Just keep your PC protected though and never use web wallets or wallets that you have to access from some third parties like blockchain.info, xapo,coinbase etc.

That is pretty possible. Especially when you use public Wi-Fi when you work with your online wallet. That's the same dangerous as to use your e-banking on public Wi-Fi - your passwords can be stolen. So, never use public Wi-Fi, that's the first thing you have to know. And there is not only online bitcoin wallets. There is USB wallets, they are much more protected. So if you scare too much - buy USB wallet.

I am also using WiFi but not facing any type of problem regarding safety of Bitcoins wallet. But yes I am somewhat agree with you it can be dangerous sometime. Now all bitcoins wallets are using best verification and security service that is very difficult to be hack so I think our money is safe.
