I don't think your 2allet can be hacked without your private key. Since its not like there is a database where is is stored, I think its only if you are careless with your private key then your funds can be stolen.
I can say that the security of the wallet is 99% in the hands of the key owners, because no one else is responsible for the wallet

in the world of cryptocurrency Everything is possible, especially when technology develops every day and the number of people in the world of cryptocurrency is also increasing because it’s not a fact that all people here with good thoughts are some scammers
I think that in the future, wallets will be hacked frequently, because it is very profitable for hackers. Of course, I am also very worried about the safety of my crypto assets.
Indeed, everything is possible. But, as long as you are always careful, it might never happen hacking. You can take several actions so that your wallet is not hacked. By adding security to the device you are using and never being affected by the link or installing software that might cause your wallet to be hacked.

Hacking into a wallet is of course possible, but I don't think it's going to happen to very large and popular wallets, because they're very secure.
really, the security provided by the crypto wallet is now quite high but the possibility of a hack is still very large, why is it still so big??  the cause is that we are still trivial and only believe 100% of the security of the wallet..  we should also pay attention to the security of the laptop/computer device that we are using because it could be that hackers have inserted their virus into your device via internet, wifi and fake links.

you need to come to terms with the fact that really breaking the wallet is really possible.  but you should be interested in fraudsters in that you have a large amount of money there is best not to keep large amounts.  because you are so attracted to scammers.

Just like an account where one's fiat currencies are kept so also is wallet where digital assets or cryptocurrencies of crypto lovers are kept. Can the wallet be vulnerable to hacking and if possible how can that happen? If you have experienced it before, I want to learn from your experience.

Yes definitely it's vulnerable to hacking and there are so many hacking incidents that have happened in the past Google it uses the keywords "wallet hacking incidents" and you will so many articles, videos about hacking incidents, this is something that defers us from moving forward.

Wallet can only get hacked if the owner is a careless user ,for instance if the wallet owner don't follow some rules like clicking on unknown or unsecured links which might results in phishing or downloading softwares from unofficial links which can inject some kind of spyware on your PC ,or even backloggers which can steal users recent and old passwords

Your wallet can be hacked if you give your wallet your private key carelessly,
it is usually given to exchanges or markets that ask you to enter your wallet key,
as well as we have an offline wallet that is very safe to use.

Yes, wallet hacking is reasonable. One day you can be hacked, so prepare in advance, this is my advice. If you have lack of security, then you will be hacked easily

I think the different news on hacked wallets has now reduced, compared to how it was some months ago. Perhaps are now becoming wiser and putting in place better security measures, to curb the menace.
Well, as regards the hacking of exchanges, there might be some hidden reasons for that.

The one thing that I try to stay aware of is if a newer version of a wallet that I downloaded is valid. The potential that an unfriendly party hacked the site and put in their own version with modified code. That's something to always be aware of. That's why I often don't update unless it's mandatory.

I always read information about the possibility of losing my funds from my wallet.  Anyway, the answer is always the same.  Only the user is guilty because of his carelessness or negligence.  Never disregard your secret data and never show what you possess and then nobody will be interested in you.

Of course, this is possible, but very, very difficult, in general security depends on the owner of the wallet, if he shows the key to the wallet, it is likely that he will be hacked.

This is the world of cryptocurrency, everything always depends on the user. Good or bad, but by default there are no intermediaries between us and our means (cryptocurrency), I do not take the situation when we send the coins to the exchange. Therefore, most often the fault lies with the users carelessly adjusting their security.

Hacking a wallet is the mistakes from the owner of the wallet. A wallet can't be hacked without a private key. A experience I have in March of the year I can never made a such mistakes because I mistakenly entered my private key of the fake forkdelta site that end with .io which the original site is.app. my wallet was hack and I lose the token I placed on the market for sale. The scammer trade the coin at the current price not the price I post it.

I completely agree with you on all security depends only on the owner and where he stores passwords and some passwords is very important because if you don’t worry about it you will lose your money very quickly and become a victim of hacking.
If there is money, the safest way is to buy a hardware wallet, because now they say that it is the safest wallet in the cryptocurrency

as long as I use a wallet like Imtoken on my android I have never experienced hacking ... but when I haven't used Imtoken I have experienced hacking against my web wallet, MEW ... even though it's on one platform, ETH ... but the Web wallet is very vulnerable to Web browsing often attacked via Email and LinkPhsing from various sites ... therefore I suggest using Imtoken on android as the right step to be able to secure the contents of our wallet ..
