Hacking incidence are of course very possible because there are those baf guys out there who has the skills to do such thing, but sometimes the cause is on our side as well like with mew and other ether web wallet and app we tend to just skip and ignore those security feature when we register an account. There are wallets and apps that are fully equipped with hacking and theft but it is our sole responsibility to secure our assets by activating and/or enabling all those security and safety features in any account that we make.

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.


Not only possible is front of the hacking so we need to always put very secured private keys to avoid that happen scenaro because hackers are always looking for easy to get hack if the security keys aren't stroger.

Wallet hacking is 100% possible if the hacker gets hold of one's private key, mnemonic phrase or other things which give access to the wallet. So I always advise people, never store these sensitive info on email, telegram, or other online backups. Store offline (write or print on paper) for instance. Also for safety, I'll strongly recommend a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano or trezor.

I have been a victim. They got into my wallet transferred some of my tokens to an exchange and sold them immediately. How they got my password is beyond me. Wallet hacking is a perplexing reality one has to live with
Hacking is indeed a very natural thing in the internet world especially if you are not careful in using the device, the gap to enter hackers is very large and maybe at that time you do not consciously enter the phishing web and provide passwords or private keys on the web so they will it's easy to find out your wallet password.

Hacking wallets is very very possible. Hackers are skilled people that steal information either for personal gain or for monetary purposes, so wallets can definitely be hacked.

Unfortunately it is quite possible.And there are a lot of different factors.Ranging from various malware and ending with a simple human error.luckily, I haven't had my wallet hacked yet,it's like a nightmare.

Some hackers will choose which wallet they will approve. If according to them choose one wallet that is not very profitable or a small amount of money maybe they will turn their bodies to find another wallet.
Yeah hacking is the problem now a day that we need to avoid, it is not the fault of the wallet but of the user because each wallet has some private key which we should not share with anyone because wallets get hack because of our carelessness better take care of wallet and use blockchain the most which is safe wallet I have never heard about its hacking.

Wallet hacking is possible if you use public or unsecured wifi to transact from your wallet, as hackers can easily steal information during this transaction. Another way they can hack your wallet is by infecting malware or virus in your system, hence it’s important to always clean your system if in doubt. Last but not the least if you share your wallet details with others, they could use the information to hack your wallet.

To buy into this rapidly expanding market, potentially to trade but, most probably, with the intention of holding an amount of a particular currency long term is not easy.

But what good is it in case a hack or computer bug causes you to lose it all ?

Be smart and do the right thing.

Yes, it is possible. According to research, there are thousands of users that become victims of fraud sites and phishing emails, every year. Collectively, a total loss of approximately $200 million worth of crypto has been reported.

As a precautionary measure, 2FA identification app like Google OTP, should be used to protect your wallet. Also, refrain from clicking suspicious links sent to your email. This is usually the modus of hackers nowadays.

We suggest you stay vigilant and make sure to keep your credentials in a private place for security purposes.

I wont actually call it hacking, in the sense that its mostly as a result of not having password encrypted private key (password for wallet that is being used to encrypt wallet) or your password can easily be broken by dictionary or bruteforce attack.
It is hacking but it happens when we do mistake of sharing our private key with other people we should not share our private key with those bad people who are in search of an opportunity to take away our money and give us lose, wallet gives us high security but we also will have to take care and not to share our private key with anyone.

At the moment, no one has a sufficient level of computing power that would allow you to hack your account only with the help of technical means.

Anything is potential in this planet. It each conditional on on your competency. Whether you are a experienced in a specific example, I anticipate you desire follow.
Even the big  exchanges are breaking in now, so there's nothing impossible. I would like to believe that hackers won't think of how easy it is to crack wallets and steal money.
