Actually, your crypto isn't actually stored in your wallet.
This is one of the parts of blockchain tech that people often dont understand.
Your crypto is on the blockchain.
The blockchain is open source ledger that anyone can look at and access and distributed around the world.
Your "wallet" is actually just your keys to transact on the blockchain.
so anyone can look at, mine, and transact on the blockchain.
but in order to move crypto from one address to another, you need to use the key.
So for simplicities sake, people have called the key a wallet, it's basically your key and a gui (graphic user interface) that lets you see how much is at your address.
So the only way it can get hacked is if someone has access to your key.
