If you could brute force your own password and successfully find it, then yes you can hack your own bitcoins.

If there are hackers who can hack ban accounts , youtube accounts etc etc , then surely there might be hackers who might hack bitcoin wallets and steal cash.


That's true... Who knows, someone has already planted their malware in your computer and gathering data from your disk and tracking all your activity in the internet... Carelessness isn't the wallets fault, so we should take care of our wallet since it is our money and therefore taking care of it should be our responsibility...  Smiley
That's true, anything can happen through online network that hackers actually can steal your account information.
Just to be sure didn't make any mistakes such as download, phishing, etc and make your own backup plan such as store your bitcoin into offline wallet or another offline pc would be good.

BULL RUN until 2030
Just come it to my mind. is it possible? to get hook into your wallet and send some to another wallet? Undecided

I assume you mean hack into another persons wallet and send it to yours ? That's a really strange question to be asking. No you can't hack someones wallet , it doesnt work like that. You dont hack someone directly you will need to try find a way to get their private key or passwords or F2A verification or some other means.
I don't think he meant that, what I understand on the topic is that is there a possibility that one person can hack into our wallet and change all the information to steal our account or just simply steal our bitcoins.

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.

yes, of course it's possible. even bitfinex which has excellent defense can hack, especially if only a wallet that defended only by password. Well, even though you have given super tight defense, I think it can still be hacked. I say that because I feel that the hacker has no restrictions on the internet. you just need to remember that the internet is no safe
Everything can be hacked with the right knowledge and enough time, probably one of the best defenses is to not become a target, if you have lots of coins then don't keep them all in the same wallet or address, unfortunately for big businesses like exchanges not becoming a target is impossible.

Everything except a good hardware wallet in the case we are talking. I know lot of people will raise doubts that the hardware wallet is not secure enough but for me they are wrong by a big margin. This is the most perfect way to keep your coins as hardware wallet are malware proof unless you do thousand transactions in an infected PC. In a Linux PC hardware wallets are the best choice. I keep all my coins in my hardware wallet and nothing have happened to me nor it will (101% sure of this).

As for exchanges with good security measures they can protect themselves against hacking. 99.99% all the major exchange that claimed they got hacked for me it was an inside job.
You are correct on that, but even if the hardware is tamper proof, the weak link will always be the end user, if the end user is careless about the usage of such a device there is the possibility that some hacker will find a way to separate him from his coins.

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.

Your wallet can be hacked. Bitcoin in the wallet can certainly not be hacked. When you lose your bitcoin then your wallet was been access by a theft and aget your bitcoin but still  bitcoin in that wallet certainly wasn't able to be considered as being hacked.
as bitcoin is not a paper money that can be hacked, if some one is going to hack your bitcoin he will first hack your bitcoin address and that can be done by several methods, like using malware or hacking your email address then he can get access to your wallet and can steal your bitcoin, i think this issue should be solved on priority basis, as it is effecting the image of bitcoin.

Well, if someone hacked your wallet? that does mean that bitcoin was hacked? of course not. If someone was able to steal your bitcoin from that address that does mean that bitcoin was hacked? of course, it isn't. It is just pretty clear that bitcoin cannot be hacked but only those other application being used to support bitcoin

I agree with you . no one is safe as long as we keep the data on the internet. when they (hackers) can take the database of a website then at that moment we could lose what we have. nothing is very safe when we go online !!!

We all don't know if Bitfinex hack is really authenticate and true. It's easy for some exchanges to say that their security got breached. It is mostly the reason of some exchanges that turned into a fraud one. No proof at all since stats can be modify to show all their users that some irregularity happen to the exchange.

Hacking is possible in any kinds of things especially online. There are even persons who has some super tight security from their belongings but still experiencing theft.

Those people that got hacked are most likely rich person. Hackers are very attracted to their bitcoin or bank accounts which they will find any possible ways to hack in your account. And hackers are more difficult to be arrested by authorities because they move in the internet and we can't say who it is.

Yes ofcourse. Its really possible. One of the common thing that usually happen when the virus infected your computer and goes through your wallet and takes all the details including passwords and your private keys. Many victims are experience this kind of thing. Also phishing. Phishing is when you enter your passwords into untrusted site of applications. Through this, they can easily break your security. It is know as keylogger. If you have computer with strong antivirus, you should be fine.
Antivirus are not a guarantee since they give false positives and programs that are infected sometimes go undetected, so instead I will suggest to use a more robust operative system.
