The whole is due to the stupidity and inattention of people. Never again on a straight line hacked wallet. Theft of funds occurs through the theft of data through which get access to the wallet. Frequently, this is the substitution of dns, and in rare cases, direct hacking of your device.
In the case of direct hacking, people usually have very difficult situations, I can only say that if hackers decide to really get down to business, then this should be more than just a person, because they just won't do it.

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.

Cases of wallet hacking usually come from stolen private keys or when users unintentional lodging in sensitive wallet keys or mnemonics in phishing websites.

every exchange provides a wallet with high security, you only have to activate the google authenticator and alert it via phone number or email, and you also have to be careful with the web which is accompanied by phishing links
It is necessary to understand that today all the most terrible places where you can really miss something, so this is only what is called a person today. That person is a bug in the system. Therefore, today it is really a sad story.

Thats one of the precautions of many exchange that is existing today. 2-factor authentication has a great help on securing our accounts. Many hackers tend to hack accounts without 2-factor authentication security. We can blame the exchange or wallet site generators that they are responsible for the hacking. We have the credentials for the wallets so we must secure it ourselves.

A wallet is indeed vulnerable to hacking, but so far I believe in wallets based on Ethereum. Using a wallet based on Ethereum I don't use just one wallet, but use several wallets to store coins. And it's very safe and I've proven it myself.

Of course its possible. In our generation most of the things out there are possible using internet. Digital wallet are always prone to hacking because its online and anything can happen online. In fact, I myself are a victim of crypto wallet hacking. In able to protect your wallet, you have to use extra security features and always be careful when transacting online.
Of course its possible, even someone has tried to login my wallet account, I don't know how they got my password and e-mail, but there is a trial notification login on my email, but it failed to login because there are 2fa in my account, very thankful because of 2fa

I believe that it’s not so easy to hack a wallet, unless of course there is no loophole in advance in it that the hacker knows. But we will not discuss this option, but rather talk about real hacks that have already taken place. And as I wrote above, it’s just that you don’t hack a wallet and steal your funds. There can be several reasons for a break. The first reason is when you are sent a phishing site, it is visually similar to a wallet, but the link is different, if you do not understand, then just go to this phishing site and enter your data from the wallet, thereby giving them to the scammer. The second reason is when a virus is sent to you in the form of a file - for example, in the form of a picture. You download it for viewing thereby launching a virus program that allows a hacker to access your PC remotely. There is one more reason for this: when you yourself, for example, in a group of carts, leave information about your wallet, that is, write the private key instead of the wallet number. This happens when you are not attentive. I believe that this is the main reason when your wallet can be hacked.

Now fraudsters are developing very tricky schemes in order to steal coins. That is why we must be extremely careful when using cryptocurrency.

You are safe if you take all precautions against hacking your wallet. With current computer technology, it is impossible to hack the wallet algorithms.

Very much possible, it is not the fact that a wallet cannot be hacked, as long as something is connected to the internet then you have to keep in mind that there is a lot of possibilities that it can be hacked which is why the hardware wallets are the kind that are mostly recommended since cold storage is not connected to the internet
Wallet hacking as matter of fact is hardly can be done, it's the user that's being targetted by the hackers so that they could steal the important information not directly hacking the wallet, just so you know hacking a wallet is as hard as hacking common app and need a really wide knowledge to find a hole

That can happen, the majority happens because of their own carelessness. Teledor in putting down wallet storage data, cannot keep wallet privacy data from people around. Careless in using the internet so that it provides a gap for hackers to be able to browse wallet data. Everything that smells online is quite risky, so be as careful as possible in accessing the site.
What could be the possible modus hackers are doing to invade your wallet? For me it is for the user that got into a phishing websites that get out private address unknowingly. So we got to be very careful on not to fall into a trap and if possible spread your wealth in case to fell victim to scammers, there is something left and not all are gone.

At present it is very rare to find cases of wallet theft from hacker attacks, but that is still very likely to happen if we ignore some important security aspects

It's possible, your wallets can get hacked if you don't keep your computer clean and don't keep your wallet information secure, any information like password, private key, seed word are important and you must keep them secret, never disclose it to anyone.

So far as I know, the wallet is available to be hacked and We already know about hacking of the wallet on the exchange and the MEW. So sad, but this is true. If we still use the online wallet, the possibilities of getting hacked is bigger than offline. That is why we must be careful in saving the key.
