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.

There have been several instances where wallet accounts have been hacked. It mostly happens when the user fails to observe some security keys and hence make the account vulnerable. For eg., for etherwallets, if one mistakenly input his private key into a wrong site.

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 possible in a common way such as brute force private key. But hackers keep find other way, they are creating traps for their victims.
Such traps are phishing site, viruses, malwares, etc. With that traps, hackers will be able to get information about the wallet.
hackers are very smart now and they know who their potential victim is. and I believe that their goals are people who have at least more than 10 bitcoins

For me, it is too hard to hack a wallet but there are instances that wallets can be hacked. For example, if you givr your private key to someone, you dont keep it secretly and privately then you accidentally give your private key, there's a chancr that your wallet might be hacked and if you logged in your account ob some phising sites and requiring to give private keys, so it is so suspicious that your wallet might be stolen from you.
Don't forget to keep our computer safe from any virus that can steal our data or can read our activity like keylogger. Any chance will they take to steal our money and they always have a lot of strategy to do it.
To prevent virus like that, do full scan on your pc like once every two weeks or once every month. Wallet hacking is very possible so we as the internet users need to careful too when clicking or downloading something suspicious at online world. Be aware about what you do before its too late.
Always do it. But i only have windows defender and still can't decide which antivirus that good for me (maybe have suggestion?). But i try to never open suspicious site, download anything with my computer even never watch something online like streaming because afraid of adware.

Your wallet can be hacked if you mistakenly visit a phishing website or you give your private keys in the name of submitting airdrop details. For instance in case you want to log into forkdelta and you are lead to a different site but similar to forkdelta in terms of interface. If you access your wallet over there, hackers would have access to your private keys and steal all your funds.

Most hacker using phising sites to hack others people wallet ,or they manipulating dns. It is important to keep our private key and seed and always checking on web certificates because hackers always find a way to stole our coin or token

I anticipate whether you achieve cryptocurrency, you should stay anon.. Apply the better code. And achieve not speak almost cryptocurrency. This is your security. Scammers always pilfer data.

I have never experienced it because I always try to maintain the security of my wallet, to keep your wallet from hacking, you must maintain the confidentiality of the private key you have, don't tell anyone about the private key, you also shouldn't open the site carelessly because hackers always have ways to log in to your account including through phishing sites

In my opinion, it is possible to hack the wallet that we have, because the hackers have various ways to hack anything, my country's website can be hacked which has a pretty good place, especially our wallet that doesn't have as good security as the website  the country, all possibilities can occur

This is more than possible because you can simply say that you have a lot of money. And if you seem to people very interesting, then the protection of the wallet will not take long. Hacking will not happen to your wallet, but to you personally.

As long we keep our private key or seeds in safe place and not share it, i think our wallet is fine. Many hackers trying to scam us and we should careful when we receiving email because many suspicious link on our email and its better not click on link we dont know

representing me it's average to cut your notecase without admonition. To keep off existence smartness it is to cross out each your pc or laptop story and never spread the notecase whether it's not significant.

Any wallet can be hacked if your computer is infected with a virus and you have logged into your wallet from this computer.
The virus can steal all the data necessary to break into your wallet.
Check your computer as often as possible for viruses.

Occasionally our have fault buoy effect in hacking the pocketbook on the site, which you strength signify. On the other hand it each conditional on on how we behave or intercept the misdeed of hacking. Assume't allow to that hap, as it's extremely prejudicial. Suit always be alive!
if someone is interested in the user's wallet, they will attack him professionally.  But this interest should come from a real professional and the wallet should contain something interesting.  To the ordinary user of cryptocurrency, you can not worry much about security.
