I think hacking is possible only with your hand. On the part of the site or the developers is less possible.
Remember – you are the weakest part of any system.

Of course, this is a normal situation today, because today many projects that developed wallets today say that many hackers find vulnerabilities, this is normal, because the projects are completely new.

The hacking of crypto money wallets depends on your behavior. If your computer is infected with viruses and private files are stored on your computer, crypto money is played. Store the key and passwords in another memory.

all wallets have the potential to be hacked because all wallets have a vulnerable system which makes hackers can hack wallets.  I myself prevented my wallet in order to avoid hacked. I always keep the wallet's original website because there are many fake websites out there

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.

A lot of wallets have already been hacked and millions of dollars have been stolen because of the hacks. But this is easy to avoid if you keep passwords in safe places and all the money to distribute to different wallets and exchanges

The answer is yes, but hacking like the wallet database was hacked thoroughly and resulted in all users losing all assets very rarely, because most hacked wallets were caused by the user's own negligence. I want to tell you that things like this can happen mostly due to phishing

And what should we pay attention to in avoiding things like this?
1. Always check the website wallet domain if you use a web-based wallet, because even a small difference can be a problem if we don't go to the right link, so don't be easy to believe in clicking on a link shared by an unknown person, because they might trap you. If you want to keep using a wallet like this, don't forget to always activate Two Factor Authentication.
2. If you want to really avoid this, then try not to use a web-based wallet. Using wallet software that must be installed on your own computer is much safer. But don't forget to backup your data to avoid the occurrence of lost data.

Any wallet or account where you store your cryptocurrency may be vulnerable. The reason may be your inattention. Security of your assets should be treated with great care. A strong password and 2FA can help you.

Now it is possible. At all able to crack can be all that anywhere. You just have to learn to avoid it. Original passwords and secure places to store them will completely protect your wallets. I think that it is quite solvable problem

As one hacker said - there is nothing that cannot be hacked! Therefore, I am unequivocally sure that any wallet does not protect one hundred percent from theft of the contents.
There's nothing can not be hack but cryptocurrency wallet are secured wallet this cannot be hack only If the owner/user are more careful and avoid things which may expose his computer or wallet information because it the computer or wallet information hack will extract in other for them to hack wallet.

I think it's possible to hack wallet. You make your password strong, so hackers face very difficult problems to hack it,
It's a user problem, not a wallet. All time I see such users that put '12345' on his password and after cry how it can be 'hacked my system'. Actually, wallets have enough protection from brute force. But people neglect simple rules and as result wallet hacked and funds stolen

There is always a chance, because today there are a lot of technologies that are just starting their way, so testing now begins in new technologies and many hackers are now able to crack real, so it's better to use old but proven wallets.

It is really possible and in order to avoid such thing to happen , do not give informations to unauthorized people. This is their way to get in touch with your account that would and worse, to result for your account to be hacked. Wallets are all vulnerable to such problems because it involves technology. We need to be careful on managing out wallets to avoid such conflicts to occur. Also, you may consider making the password tricky.

Wallet can be hacked just like exchange been hack.... Hackers makes use of different tricks to access your wallet for instance phishing site, hacking your computer system.... I think it possible to hack wallet but the percentage of doing that is small.
The chances of being hacked go way lower if you just take some basic precautions, for example if you use a hardware wallet that you bought directly from its manufacturer then the risk of losing your money due to hacks becomes very low and if you also use a secure operating system then hackers are going to have a very hard time getting access to your coins.

I think the next 10-15 years, bitcoin will remain as one of the most profitable assets. And its value will periodically grow and grow.

It is very possible that a wallet can be hacked, Each wallet has different weaknesses. One of the most common cases is the process of logging into a wrong site (phishing) so that a hacker will easily have access to your account. I can't say the same for all wallet, but all wallet is next to possible to hack.

Usually, hacking is very identical starting with tracking the victim's ID and Password, also often:
to try to decrypt the encryption,

There are several cases, which can cause the wallet to be vulnerable to hackers' behavior. Among them is caused by:
3. Beware of Phising Web Pages

Increased interest in crypto currencies makes many new investors enter the market. Lots of land in a fake landing page that claims to be a popular digital currency exchange platform. One example is the one that uses the Punycode technique. Through this method, the fake domain 'xn - inance-hrb [dot] com' can be displayed as 'ƅinance [dot] com'. This technique is usually able to deceive consumers, because web pages can look really like the original. You can overcome this by being aware of vulnerabilities that exist in internet browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Opera,

5. Beware of Bitcoin Thief Malware

Malware is something that concerns computer owners. But now, a new category of malware capable of stealing Bitcoin-related data has appeared. Malware authorized by the computer owner is able to record typing or search for a file with the keyword "Account", "Password", "Bitcoin", "Wallet", or other keywords specified by the author, then upload the file to an anonymous server automatically.

In addition, there is also a malware that seeks to absorb the computing power of computer users to mine crypto. Anticipating this, YouTube is trying to deactivate ads that take computing power to mine crypto currencies. It is believed, after users see the related ad videos, the computer becomes slow and there will be warnings from anti-virus programs. Malware like this can steal up to 100% of computing power to mine crypto currencies (generally Monero). The solution that can be applied here is to install strong anti-virus protection and active Firewall to protect the computer.

Usually hacking into wallets is not done by guessing your private key, it is actually easier to try to steal the victim's key than to try to decrypt the encryption, many people enter their data voluntarily to sites that are obvious scams or phishing, so there is no need to break your head by solving puzzles.
