I have never experienced it, but my friend said that if you want to protect your wallet from hackers, then don't let anyone know about the private key from your wallet and never fill out a form that requires you to write a private key from your wallet.

A number of ways a wallet can be hacked can be attributed to the wallet owner not using the most secure means to secure the wallet or exposing the private keys/passphrase or visiting malicious websites or downloading malicious programs.

Any wallet is subject to hacking, but we can reduce our risks, it is necessary to comply with security rules. Do not tell anyone your private keys and passwords, do not store them on a cloud drive or storage, beware of phishing sites. In addition, your computer must also be protected if you store private keys and passwords on it. Follow these guidelines and you will not lose your coins.
more correct if the client is the one that is subject to hackers. Wallet could hardly be hacked and if it could it would definitely take too much effort meanwhile baiting people will definitely more efficient and that is why guys there is 2 factor authentication

The most common way to hack a cryptocurrency wallet is by compromising the private keys or the keystore file or the password of that wallet so hackers take different means to achieve this goal.
some of which include creating clone websites which would be used to steal the private keys of the victims I tried to log into their wallet or by trying to hack cryptocurrency owners cloud storage where is private keys may be stored.
Without compromising a private key or any of them other logging methods there is no way the cryptocurrency wallet can be stolen.

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.
E-wallet is hacked based on one of the following reasons.
1. You have clicked on a link with a virus and the virus will go to the file and steal information from your computer.
2. You have revealed your Private Key or a code that has unlocked your wallet.
These are two things that many traders have made mistakes and they often go to the bitcointalk forum to seek help.

Haven't been experiencing that kind of situation where my account is getting hacked by the hackers because I really keep it in my personal storage. And I only experience of getting scammed is by asking for some help to the admin of the telegram exchange group and someone pop-op to help that really makes me confused and asking for sending money for another wallet that gets me feel worry that I really don't forget.

I think the hacking of online wallets will continue to occur in the development of digital technology that is growing rapidly. And that is part of the risk, and is used by people who have high intelligence in hacking accounts and wallets. I think this is a concern, because the intelligence used for a crime. And we must always anticipate their ways., Sad
The continuous hacks seen daily surprises me my friend got hacked yesterday, we're still trying to understand what happened his tokens were transferred directly to bancor from his wallet and sold yet he got notifications from bancor even when he wasn't the one who initiated the transaction. His keys weren't exposed because he hasn't used the wallet for more than 5 months now.

Hacking is very possible and you must be careful in determining the wallet.
I personally use Ethereum ERC20 wallets more often.
I am grateful that the coins that I saved on ERC20 have never been lost.
You must keep the password properly. And don't be easy to believe in other people.

I am 100 percent sure that hacking a wallet is possible. Appeared a good virus Explay which provides access to a victim's computer. That is, a person can take screenshots, record a session, and so on.

Wallet hacking means someone can take away all your funds without any login details which is completely impossible with crypto wallet but it can be possible through phishing or other ways like taking screenshots of what we are typing and much more.
Rememebr it can be done through hijacking the desktop through spread the virus and malware on the internet. there was a lot of kinds of hacking method. These should be included on the same definition dude. You may think if the hack wallet means to break the wallet by exploit the vulnerability of the wallet.
We people must do anything to protect our wallet. It is like there are a lot of ways people will hack our wallet, but we must know how to protect our wallet. If me i prepare laptop that only to open wallet. My friend suggest to use PC but i use laptop so i can carry it anywhere.

Tracking keyboard logs can give access to sites used by computer user. Hackers change their strategies every day,knowing their tactics is not easy.

It is possible specially in some cases where the owner is wreckless. We should keep our wallets and private keys in private. It would be a risk if we'll share it wih untrusted people. Everything is hackable these days so we must be aware and be wise.

In case of not sharing the key with anyone, the risk is if you encounter an accident. The number of properties will be gone forever, and I have recorded ways to be able to log into my wallet for my relatives. Until now, I have not been hacked yet, although I am still using some of the recommended methods like Json file + password.
There's always a chance to be hacked that's the danger from online. the most important thing is that you must be prepared for all kinds of hacking actions such as viruses, phishing, and so on. add all the security in your wallet. for now I have never experienced theft. very grateful

It is important to note that there are many ways, but one that is very common is that hackers enter through cookies and steal all information they get encrypted, keys, private keys. That is why it is always recommended to clean all files with either a cleaner or antivirus.
Which is the first prevention that we needed to do after we do some transactions or even we just browse from the internet, cleaning is our very protections
against those hackers who's just waiting for good opportunities, though there's a lots of different ways to penetrate it's still a good practice to have a very strong antivirus and do a routine scan. 

Your assets is your money make sure to treat it properly same like physical wallet where you always check and make sure that the money inside still safe.

I've never experienced that but some of my friends have experienced it ... and most hackers do that via e-mail and telegram and some sites so for wallet security we should not arbitrarily trust any site and anyone

unsecured website are the most notorious wallet hacker in crypto. another one is the inside job from the developers as well. if you can afford ledger, I think that is the most secured offline wallet there is.

very possible, the most vulnerable is when we enter our private key to the site (which is prone to phishing sites) exchanger. and when we leave, the hacker can record it and then steal. therefore, we must be more careful about phishing sites.
