Possibilty yes if you ever share your private key to the public or someone. or log in using JSON/private to the DEX market almost simillar as etheredelta/forkdelta and other. And also log in to the wallet application on Android which is vulnerable to stolen data.
if you don't want that to happen, I suggest using an offline wallet.

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 every wallet is prone on hacking specially you are connected into the internet, if you store your private key into your facebook, gmail or any other online that you can store private key it was easily to be hack, there is a lot of phishing site if you didn't look for it it was a scam site so better store your coin into a ledger.

Hacking of wallet is 100% possible that is why even Myetherwallet will caution users not to log on with their PRIVATE KEYS because it is not safe to do so. Phishing is a sure way to get your account hacked and practicing a good security measures can prevent account from getting compromise.

It's definitely able to hack and it will be hacked by someone because wallet is just a man made and if  it is too careless to act and think about the safety of their wallets. It's practically easy Phishing for these hackers if they don't secure themselves in the proper way.

Yes wallets can be hacked but it requires some sort of carelessness from wallet owner as well, i think if you upload your private key or password at some phishing link or store your data at some unsafe place online your wallet can be hacked.



yes, I agree, negligence is what makes our wallets hacked so all you have to do is keep your private key in a safe place, don't let your negligence make you lose money.

If you are taking about a single self wallet hacking , then I can see it’s 99.99% impossible only if the owner gives out the details like email access of wallet password otherwise no one can hack it.
if hackers are interested in your wallets, then you really should be a big whale at least or a cryptocurrency tycoon.  The fact is that a simple user of cryptocurrency will be able to lose their funds or personal information only when they get attention and do everything to lose access codes or passwords.

The rule is very simple when it comes to keeping your wallet safe, which is: do not give out your private key.
The reason it is called a private key is because you alone is meant to know about it.
Never trust anyone with it.

Yes, if by hack you mean somehow get access to someone’s wallet. Your private key can be stolen like any other password.

No, if by hack you mean generate a private key for an existing public key. Till now no one can. It can be done by brute force but that will take impractical amount of time.

I can’t say the same for all crypto, but all the major currencies is next to impossible to hack

hacked wallet is possible, it is caused by the user himself because of phishing. but if the user is smart, a hacker of any kind won't be able to hack the crypto wallet.
Phishing is just your irresponsible i think. Because you have to specially book marks which of those website or wallet very important for you.
Another thing is you have to keep your private key in safe place, Online store definitely big threaten to affected by hacker.

Imagine what is happening these days, where big exchanges are not even escaping from hack, which means that wallets can also be hacked, depending on the type we are talking about here.
The only reliable and safest wallet you can ever is is hardware wallet and some people are avoiding it, because they d not want to pay for posses it.
The safety of fund is very paramount.

Hacking a wallet is definitely possible. There are some airdrops that steal your information (passwords). In case you mistakenly send your private key through any messaging application, you are vulnerable to hacking attack. You can also be hacked if you do not use a secure site to assess your wallet.

Yes, the wallet can be hacked unless the user uses it very carefully and provides easy access to the private key and passwords.

I don't think wallet can be hacked unless the owner made some mistakes which made him expose his private key unnoticed. This can happen through phising or by ignorantly exposing your details to third parties.
